What is wrong with you New Englanders? How could you choose these to be the Top 10 List (alphabetically) of movie one liners?
1. Are you talkin’ to ME? - Taxi Driver
2. Go ahead. Make my day. - Dirty Harry
3. Here’s lookin’ at you, kid. - Casablanca
4. I’ll be back. - The Terminator
5. I’ll have what she’s having. – When Harry Met Sally
6. Life is like a box of chocolates… – Forrest Gump
7. May the force be with you. - Star Wars
8. You can’t handle the truth! - A Few Good Men
9. You had me at hello. - Jerry McGuire
10. You’re gonna need a bigger boat! - Jaws
OK, I guess if a regional ice cream Brigham’s runs a contest, it will have limited entries, but c’mon!
I didn’t see a list of the other nominees, but they had to include:
- Stella! – Streetcar Named Desire (I have NOLA on my mind)
- Leave the gun, take the Canolis – Godfather, (how can two great movies and one mediocre not have ANY lines in the top 10?)
- Made him an offer he can’t refuse – see above
- Say hello to my lil fren – Scarface
- Show me the money – Jerry McGuire
- Luke, I am your father. – Star Wars
- Snakes, why did it have to be snakes – Indiana Jones
What other lines didn’t make the contest that you would add?
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. (Gone With the Wind)
Oh, Of course! How could THAT be left off?
Actually that was my comment about the post.
My favorite GWTW quote is from Prissy: I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies!
hehehe – Verrrrrrrry funny
I agree about the GWTW quote. Also, “I’ll think about it tomorrow.”
I also like another Casablanca line, “This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”
Figured Jaws would be big in New England- it was set on Martha’s Vineyard after all!

@Mauigirl: good point, maybe they still resent the damage done to tourism! Casablanca line is an excellent one…
