AFI's 100 YEARS...100 MOVIE QUOTES "FRANKLY, MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN" TOPS AFI'S LIST OF 100 GREATEST MOVIE QUOTES OF ALL TIME OTHER WINNERS INCLUDE THE GODFATHER, "I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CAN'T REFUSE," THE WIZARD OF OZ, "TOTO, I'VE GOT A FEELING WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE" AND CASABLANCA, "HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, KID" AFI'S 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes: America's Greatest Quips, Comebacks and Catchphrases The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the top movie quotes of all time in AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes, a three-hour special television event on CBS hosted by actor and action star Pierce Brosnan with commentary from many of Hollywood's most celebrated actors and filmmakers. A jury of 1,500 film artists, critics and historians selected "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," spoken by Clark Gable in the celebrated Civil War epic, GONE WITH THE WIND as the most memorable movie quote of all time. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret...and tell you that six of tonight's greatest movie quotes come from one film. CASABLANCA. In the eight years we've aired these specials, CASABLANCA has been honored in seven of them. And when we counted down the greatest love stories of all time...it was #1. This kind of movie trivia is fun, but the movies are never trivial. Consider MRS. MINIVER...a film released the same year as CASABLANCA. Its closing lines were so powerful to President Franklin Roosevelt, that he ordered them printed on millions of leaflets and dropped over Nazi-occupied Europe." "Great movie quotes become part of our cultural vocabulary. When you consider that any phrase from American film is eligible, you realize this is our most subjective topic to date. We expect nothing less than a war of words as we reignite interest in classic American movies." Jean Picker Firstenberg Director and CEO, American Film Institute -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each year, AFI's 100 Years . . . series has garnered considerable attention from movie lovers around the world. Previous programs within this series have included AFI 100 Years . . . 100 Movies (1998), . . . 100 Stars (1999), . . . 100 Laughs (2000), . . . 100 Thrills (2001), . . . 100 Passions (2002), . . . 100 Heroes & Villains (2003) and . . . 100 Songs (2004). About the Jury Process AFI distributed a ballot with 400 nominated movie quotes to a jury of over 1,500 leaders from the creative community, including film artists (directors, screenwriters, actors, editors, cinematographers), critics and historians. Jury members were asked to choose up to 100 movie quotes from a comprehensive list, including entries such as "Here's lookin' at you, kid" (CASABLANCA), "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" (GONE WITH THE WIND), "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" (SHE DONE HIM WRONG), "May the Force be with you" (STAR WARS), "Houston, we have a problem" (APOLLO 13), "Snap out of it!" (MOONSTRUCK), "You can't handle the truth!" (A FEW GOOD MEN), "I'll be back" (THE TERMINATOR) and "Show me the money!" (JERRY MAGUIRE). Due to the extensive number of memorable movie lines in American film, jurors could also write in votes for up to five quotes that may not already appear on the ballot. Jurors were asked to consider the following criteria in making their selections: MOVIE QUOTE A statement, phrase or brief exchange of dialogue spoken in an American film.* (Lyrics from songs are not eligible.) CULTURAL IMPACT Movie Quotes that viewers use in their own lives and situations; circulating through popular culture, they become part of the national lexicon. LEGACY Movie Quotes that viewers use to evoke the memory of a treasured film, thus ensuring and enlivening its historical legacy. *AFI defines an American film as an English language motion picture with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States. Additionally, only Movie Quotes from feature-length American films released before January 1, 2004, will be considered. AFI defines a feature-length film as a motion picture of narrative format that is typically over 60 minutes in length. Interesting Facts about the Ballot Chronologically, the ballot spans from 1927, with the first full-length sound film, THE JAZZ SINGER: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet!" to 2002 and "My precious" from THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS. CASABLANCA has seven quotes in AFI's ballot, making it the most represented film. THE WIZARD OF OZ is the second most represented film with six quotes. Humphrey Bogart has 10 quotes on the ballot, the most represented male actor.

Funnymen Peter Sellers and Mike Myers each have four quotes represented. Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Judy Garland and Vivien Leigh each have four memorable movie quotes on the ballot. Billy Wilder is the top represented writer with 13 quotes, some co-written with I.A.L. Diamond, Charles Brackett and Raymond Chandler.
