Top 10 Best Movie Lines *Ever*

[Jolie Rouge]

Sometimes when the words are just perfect, a single movie line is the most memorable part of the film. It lingers in your the mind. And then you use it in everyday conversation. And then...it becomes one of the best movie lines ever.

Odeon Cinemas conducted a survey of its nearly 100 complexes in the United Kingdom to rank these special lines from movies. You've probably heard every one of these--even if you didn't see the movie. These all happen to be parting shots. Maybe that's why they're so memorable and a part of everyday speech.


1. "I'll be back."
The Terminator (1984)

2. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
Gone With the Wind (1939)

3. "Get busy living or get busy dying."
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

4. "Hasta la vista, baby."
Terminator II: Judgment Day (1991)

5. "Well, nobody's perfect!"
Some Like it Hot (1959)

6. "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye."
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

7. "Goodbye, Mr. Bond."
Goldfinger (1964)

8. "I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain... Time to die."
Bladerunner (1982)

9. "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"
White Heat (1949)

10. "Forget about it!"
Donnie Brasco (1997)

"I feel the need, the need for speed" is actually from Top Gun as well. ;)

And I believe that the correct quote is "Take me to BED or lose me forever." Top Gun.... :D :D :D :D I saw this movie more times than I care to admit when it came out on VHS back in the 80's...lol...
