Hollywood's 100 Favorite Movie Quotes

7:45 AM 2/24/2016 by THR Staff
What topped the list? THR asked its entertainment industry readers to vote on the most memorable quote from every movie ever made. Ranked in descending order are the lines that made the cut.
THR's top 100 movie quotes according to Hollywood insiders.

Everybody has a favorite movie line, even movie moguls. Disney's Alan Horn likes, "I'll have what she's having," from When Harry Met Sally …. Fox's Stacey Snider picks "You complete me," from Jerry Maguire. Tellingly, several top executives — Viacom's Philippe Dauman, Netflix's Ted Sarandos — choose "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," from The Godfather.



Of course, to compile THR's latest poll, the magazine didn't merely talk to moguls. Just as with previous ballots (Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films, Hollywood's 100 Favorite TV Shows), THR surveyed a vast range of industry professionals — more than 1,600 producers, directors, actors, agents, publicists, craft workers and yes, even writers (Salman Rushdie picks "It was Beauty killed the Beast," from King Kong) — and this time asked them to choose their favorite lines of dialogue from all of film history. While the editors were at it, they also chatted with many of the writers who penned those classic lines to find out the backstory behind the most quoted words ("I wrote, 'Yippie-ki-yay, asshole,' " recalls Die Hard screenwriter Steven E. de Souza). The results, ranked in descending order, are on the following pages — the movie quotes that Hollywood pros, the people who actually put sentences up on screens, love most.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
Love Story, 1970

Photofest
One of the most parodied movie lines in cinema — even Ryan O’Neal himself poked fun at it in Peter Bogdanovich's screwball comedy What's Up, Doc?. When Barbra Streisand quotes it, he retorts, "That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard."

99 100
"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"
Braveheart, 1995

Photofest
The only way Paramount pictures would fund Mel Gibson's passion project about the 13th century Scottish noble was if he agreed to star in it as well as direct.

98 100
"They call me Mister Tibbs!"
In the Heat of the Night, 1967

Photofest
Poitier did not want to shoot the film in Mississippi because he had been harassed by the Ku Klux Klan when he had visited there with Harry Belafonte at the height of the civil rights movement in 1964, so most of it was filmed in Sparta, Illinois. Filmmakers even changed the name of the fictional Mississippi town in the movie to Sparta so they wouldn’t have to pay to have the town’s water tower repainted.


97 100
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
When Harry Met Sally, 1989

Photofest
Writer Nora Ephron’s first draft didn’t have Sally and Harry ending up together because she considered a breakup to be a more realistic ending. So when it came time to film the revised happy ending, Billy Crystal ad-libbed much of his dialogue with Meg Ryan, including this most remembered line of the picture.

96 100
"If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
Taken, 2008

Photofest
True to his word, Liam Neeson kills 35 men in 93 minutes in the first film, scores more in the second and third, and who knows how many in the planned TV prequel.

95 100
"You complete me."
Jerry Maguire, 1996

Photofest
"It was one of those lines that came so easily, it felt almost too easy," remembers writer-director Cameron Crowe. "When I first gave the script to Tom Cruise, and we were reading through it, I said, 'I'm going to change that line.' He said, 'Uh, I love that line. Why don't you give me a crack at it.' I left it in, and on the night of filming — it was 4 a.m., on a Friday, and everybody was dropping from exhaustion — Tom says the line. By the end of his speech, everybody was in tears. Across the room, Renee was a wreck. Tom had delivered the line so powerfully, and so directly to her, she was still getting over it. Later he told me, 'I had always wanted to say 'I love you' like that in a movie.'"


94 100
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Gladiator, 2000

Photofest
Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott didn’t quite see eye to eye on the screenplay, and on this line in particular. He routinely strayed from the script — by John Logan and William Nicholson — trying to improvise a bunch of alternatives, until Scott forced him to read the line as written. It went over like gangbusters, even though Crowe still hated it: "It was shit. But I'm the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good." The "shit" script would get nominated for best original screenplay at the 2001 Oscars and Crowe would win best actor.

93 100
"I drink your milkshake!"
There Will Be Blood, 2007

Photofest
A variation of the line was uttered by Sen. Albert Fall of New Mexico during congressional hearings in 1924 on the Teapot Dome scandal, which also involved oil tycoon Edward Doheny, who was the basis for Daniel Day-Lewis’ character: "Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and my straw reaches across the room, I’ll end up drinking your milkshake."

92 100
"Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
Planet of the Apes, 1968

Photofest
The secret behind Charlton Heston’s hoarse, gravelly delivery? Great acting, sure, but also Heston had the flu through much of the production.


91 100
"You make me want to be a better man."
As Good as It Gets, 1997

Photofest
Though Jack Nicholson worried that his character was so unlikeable people would flee theaters, he ended up winning an Oscar for it, along with co-star Helen Hunt.

90 100
"As if!"
Clueless, 1995

Photofest
"I am always compiling slang words," says Clueless writer-director Amy Heckerling about the line’s origins. “In the early to mid-'90s 'as if' was floating around in the gay community, and I heard it and thought it was a multipurpose phrase. Some of the people I knew were already beyond 'as if' and they were just going, 'zif!'"

89 100
"Chewie, we're home."
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, 2015

Photofest
Harrison Ford considers director J.J. Abrams a "communications genius" for his decision to use the line in the movie's trailer. "'Chewie, we're home' was kind of the key in the door. Familiarity was unlocked at that moment," said Ford.


88 100
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
Chinatown, 1974

Photofest
Even though Nicholson and director Roman Polanski fought endlessly during the making of the movie, when the actor saw the rough cut he told producer Robert Evans, "We got a hot one. Get those checks ready — we’re on our way!"

87 100
"These go to eleven."
This Is Spinal Tap, 1984

Photofest
Amp maker Marshall liked the publicity surrounding this line so much, they made Christopher Guest a special set of speakers whose highest setting is infinity.

86 100
"I'm walking here! I'm walking here!"
Midnight Cowboy, 1969

Photofest
Dustin Hoffman’s line was ad-libbed, and the scene was shot guerilla style because they didn’t have enough money to shut down a New York street. The cab "almost hit us," Hoffman once recalled. "I guess the brain works so quickly, I said, in a split of a second, 'Don’t go out of character …' So I said, 'I'm walking here.' Director John Schlesinger started laughing. He clapped his hands and said, 'We must have that, we must have that,' and redid it two or three times, because he loved it."


85 100
"It was Beauty killed the Beast."
King Kong, 1933

Photofest
When producer Merian C. Cooper pitched the role to Fay Wray, he told her, "You’ll have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood." Wray was sure she’d be acting with Cary Grant.

84 100
"Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, 1948

Photofest
The misquote of the line — "We don’t need no stinking badges!" — started with Micky Dolenz in a 1967 episode of The Monkees TV series, but Mel Brooks got it wrong, too, in 1974's Blazing Saddles.

83 100
"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."
The Devil Wears Prada, 2006

Photofest
The National Science Teachers Association encourages biology and life sciences teachers to use this line to start a conversation about body image, nutrition and digestion among teenagers.


82 100
"They call it a Royale with cheese."
Pulp Fiction, 1994

Photofest
If John Travolta’s character had been hiding out in Italy rather than France, the line would have been "They call it a McRoyal DeLuxe." If he’d been in Japan, he might have skipped the beef and tried the "Filet-O-Shrimp Burger."

81 100
"They're here!"
Poltergeist, 1982

Photofest
Actress Heather O’Rourke, who was just 6 when she made Poltergeist, tragically died at age 12, in 1988, from complications of a bowel obstruction.

80 100
"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, 1937

Photofest
Snow White was the only major character then-18-year-old Adriana Caselotti ever voiced. "Walt Disney thought it would spoil the illusion if you knew who the people were who provided the voices in the film," she revealed in a 1987 interview, about the strict contract that kept her from other parts. (She died in 1997 at age 80.)


79 100
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."
The Godfather: Part III, 1990

Photofest
Mario Puzo’s literary estate, which contained 20 different versions of the Godfather III script written between 1978 and 1989, recently sold at auction to a private collector for $625,000.

78 100
"Nobody's perfect."
Some Like It Hot, 1959

Photofest
The film’s closing line was never supposed to make it into the final cut. The writers — I.A.L Diamond and director Billy Wilder — put it into the script as a placeholder, until they came up with something better.

77 100
"Yo, Adrian!"
Rocky, 1976

Photofest
Sylvester Stallone utters this line too many times to count in the first five Rocky films (six in the original alone) but the only time anyone ever remembers is at the end of Rocky II, when he holds the championship belt he has just won from Apollo Creed.

76 100
"Wax on, wax off."
The Karate Kid, 1984

Photofest
"I never imagined the 'wax on, wax off' would amount to anything," says screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. "The crane at the end was the one. I wanted that to be the big moment. If I thought anyone remembered anything they'd remember that."

75 100
"You ain't heard nothin' yet!"
The Jazz Singer, 1927

Photofest
Al Jolson was so excited about his rendition of "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face" that he spontaneously uttered the line before segueing into "Toot, Toot, Tootsie." The line was going to be cut but Sam Warner insisted it stay.

74 100
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964

Photofest
When Stanley Kubrick sat down with Peter George to adapt George’s novel Red Alert, the director struggled with treating the material as a straight drama, as he initially intended. "My idea of doing it as a nightmare comedy came in the early weeks of working on the screenplay," Kubrick said after the film’s release. "I found that in trying to put meat on the bones and to imagine the scenes fully, one had to keep leaving out of it things which were either absurd or paradoxical, in order to keep it from being funny; and these things seemed to be close to the heart of the scenes in question."


73 100
"I don't want to survive. I want to live."
12 Years a Slave, 2013

Photofest
This line comes right from Solomon Northup’s 1853 book. Writer John Ridley has said he tried to remain true to the original. "To modify the man, no matter how sincere the desire, would have ultimately been dishonest. Solomon's story begs for honesty. As the voice of his own history, what he wrote deserved fidelity."

72 100
"Elementary, my dear Watson."
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1939

Photofest
Sherlock Holmes never utters this line in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories. It was invented entirely for the movies.



71 100
"That'll do, pig. That'll do."
Babe, 1995

Photofest
Although James Cromwell would get more screen time in George Miller's talking pig tale than in any of his previous films, he had only 171 words of dialogue. These are his best five.


70 100
"I wish I knew how to quit you."
Brokeback Mountain, 2005

Photofest
Screenwriter Diana Ossana got this gem directly from the New Yorker short story that inspired the film, co-written by Larry McMurtry. "The film has become a part of the popular culture," says Ossana. "We have a Google Alert for the film, and in the 10 years since it came out there hasn't been a day that there wasn't something, somewhere in the news about Brokeback Mountain."

69 100
"Good morning, Vietnam!"
Good Morning, Vietnam, 1987

Photofest
The real-life Adrian Cronauer says he came up with the drawn out "goooood moooorning" sign-on because he was often shuffling papers to start the show and needed to stall for time.

68 100
"My precious."
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, 2002

Photofest
Want your own? You don't have to battle orcs and dragons — you just have to shop online. A platinum version, complete with Elvish script, retails for $3,100.


67 100
"Argo f— yourself."
Argo, 2012

Photofest
Screenwriter Chris Terrio actually found this memorable piece of dialogue in the real, declassified CIA report that agent Tony Melendez (played by Ben Affleck) wrote about the Iran Hostage Crisis rescue mission.

66 100
"It's alive! It's alive!"
Frankenstein, 1931

Photofest
Censors cut Dr. Frankenstein’s original line — "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God! Now I know what it's like to be God!"

65 100
"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951

Photofest
This line was originally delivered onstage by Jessica Tandy, who played Blanche on Broadway, and was almost delivered in the movie by Olivia de Havilland (she was offered the role but wanted too much money). Vivian Leigh took it for $100,000, making her the highest-paid English actress of the time, but there may have been moments she regretted it; she and co-star Marlon Brando initially hated each other.

64 100
"Go ahead, make my day."
Sudden Impact, 1983

Photofest
In Kenya the mispronunciation of "make my day" is "makmende," which is slang for someone who tries to be a hero and was the name creators chose for the country’s first locally created superhero, described by CNN as "one part Shaft, one part Superman."

63 100
"I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?"
Goodfellas, 1990

Photofest
The "funny how" bit was heavily based on an incident Joe Pesci experienced as a young waiter when he complimented a mobster on his sense of humor. Needless to say, the man didn’t take it too well. Martin Scorsese heard the story during rehearsal and liked it so much that he let Pesci and Ray Liotta incorporate it by improvising their dialogue. The other actors in the scene weren’t given advanced notice because Scorsese wanted their genuine, unrehearsed reactions, and he shot it with only medium takes and no close-ups in order to capture their surprise.

62 100
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
Star Wars, 1977

Photofest
Soon after the film came out in 1977, Sir Alec Guinness told the BBC that fans sought him out for Obi-Wan-like wisdom. "I’ve been getting some pretty strange letters: 'My wife and I have got problems, could you come over and live with us.'"

61 100
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
To Have and Have Not, 1944
