100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds

Filed under: Fandom », Trailers and Clips »



There are tons of classic, unforgettable cinematic quotes out there -- so many that I'd dare say we could never come up with a complete list because there will always be something left out. But that hasn't stopped Liquid Generation from whipping up a fun new video called "100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds," which you can see below.

Just as the title explains, they've sifted through the movies we all love -- both new and old -- and whittled them down to the hundred "best." You'll probably recognize most, if not all of them. You'll also probably agree with a bunch, whether you're a fan of "Rosebud" or "Here's Johnny!" or "Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie?" Hell, they've even got a little Bloodsport with "I break you, like I break your friend."

But there are some strange picks and some glaring omissions. Is "groovy" really the best line uttered by Bruce Campbell? Methinks that was just picked because of the time crunch -- there's no way its better than boomsticks and fancy pants. And no "As you wiiiish"? ... That's "inconceivable!"

Still, this is a fun collection. Check out the collection of clips and weigh in below. Do you agree with the 100 movie lines?

Discuss: What Are Your Favorite Quotes From This Year's Nominees?

Forget about the nuances of cinematography, the precision requirements of editing, the challenges of costume design, and the dazzle of visual effects. All we really want from a movie is a great quote! I'm kidding, of course -- we want more than quotes -- but every screenwriter dreams that one of his lines will join the immortals ("Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown"). What are the best candidates from this year's crop of Best Picture nominees?

There Will Be Blood surely must have the edge so far. Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) explains the facts of life to Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) and utters the memorable rejoinder: "I... drink... your... milkshake!" The quote has already taken on a life of its own.

Juno has so many it's hard to choose. Paulie (Michael Cera) says, "I still have your underwear" and Juno (Ellen Page) replies, "I still have your virginity." I also like Juno's dad (J.K. Simmons): "Thanks for having me and my irresponsible child over to your house. "

Michael Clayton is epitomized by George Clooney's line as the titular attorney: "I'm not the guy you kill. I'm the guy you buy!"

Atonement caught my attention when young Briony (Saoirse Ronan) confides in a friend: "What's the worst word you can possibly imagine?"

No Country for Old Men is more about atmosphere and landscape than dialogue, but it's hard to resist: "You can't stop what's coming," spoken by a weather-beaten yet wise Barry Corbin.

Now it's your turn. What are your favorite quotes from this year's Academy Award nominees for Best Picture?
