Despite its slow decline into the maw of internet depravity, the first Shrek was a genuine big deal for DreamWorks Animation as its fifth production and highest-grossing to that point. So while we probably could have filled this list entirely with lines from Mean Girls and Anchorman, we had to make some tough choices.ĪLSO READ: 'Looks Like Meat's Back on the Menu, Boys!': Three Orc Actors Discuss the 'Lord of the Rings' Trilogy's Goofiest Quote Universal Pictures
#Famous quotes dont mess with mymoney movie
There is a virtually limitless amount of excellent filmmaking and screenwriting happening around the globe, from Mexico to South Korea and everywhere in between, so consider "greatest" as modified with "mostly American, English-speaking, Western cinema." And one procedural note: We decided to limit any given movie (including individual films of a franchise) to one quote maximum. We're an American site with English-speaking readers, writers, and editors. (Ever hear the one about sand from Star Wars?) All of these 100 selections have made us cry, laugh, or nod in solidarity, and they frequently pop unbidden into our heads.īefore we get to the list, we have to acknowledge our inherent limitations. Some are so silly we've developed a deep affection for them. Others we included simply because they astonished us in some way: the perfect punchline, the gut-dropping reveal, the brilliantly written axioms. Not every entry on this list has become a meme, though some certainly earn their spots because of that.
We thought (and fought) through what moments had lodged themselves into our brains and stuck there. We here at Thrillist Entertainment have made an effort to canonize the movie quotes of the modern era, starting with the year 2000 and running through today. "She doesn't even go here" is an easy way to vent your frustration with an interloper. The "sunken place" is not just a dream state where an evil white psychiatrist traps her daughter's black boyfriend, it's a metaphor for race in America. These days, one way to mark a movie's cultural impact is whether a part of the script has gone viral. AFI's 100 Years.100 Quotes remains the bible, reminding us that, yes, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" is pretty significant. Pytheas wrote down his experiences, but these only survive as incidental third-hand references by later writers."Here's looking at you, kid." "Open the pod bay doors, please, Hal." "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." The history of cinema is littered with lines of dialogue that transcend context, but for the most part, what are considered the Great Movie Quotes are vintage in nature. Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century AD, says that Britain had 'previously' been called Albion, so by then the name must have fallen out of common use.2 By the time Britain began to be referred to more frequently, the Greeks called it Prettannia, or Brettannia.3 What does seem certain is that in the fourth century BC, Pytheas of Massilia (Marseilles) sailed to Britain. Originally applied to a Spanish tribe called the 'Albiones', the term was later adopted for Britain, perhaps because of its similarity to the Greek word for whiteness, alphos, thanks to the white chalk cliffs of the southeast coast. The Greeks, at least by the fourth century BC, knew Britain as Albion.
