Mine would have been, "Here's looking at you, kid", not only because of the quote itself but because Casablanca is more like a good film and less like a Hollywood epic, such as GWTW

[Gurm]

The problem is that there are an AWFUL lot of old people right now. The baby boomers are all retired and getting way up there.

So it doesn't surprise me that a disproportionate percentage of the population finds GWTW more memorable than Terminator.

Here's one I like is a heavy dutch accent

"My dear officer... you can't even give me a parking ticket.... so who is the d**khead now eh?"

LOL

a lot of the quotes are just dumb.

These are movie buffs voting. They have actually seen older movies, so it doesn't matter if they are 10 or 100.

I'm surprised nothing got in there from Jaws. Just about everything Quint said was memorable.

#35 | You're gonna need a bigger boat. | JAWS | 1975

[KvHagedorn]

Ah.. missed that. Well that wasn't Quint. I would dare em to put his whole USS Indianapolis speech in there. Robert Shaw wrote that himself, you know.. he shoulda gotten an oscar for that performance.. wasn't even nominated, though.

Some of those... wow, never would have ranked them in that order. I can see the GWTW quote winning out, but come on, no Die Hard quotes?

"Yippee-ki-yay, motherf..."

[RichL]

I can't beleive they didnt have any quotes from Princess Bride or the Monty Python films.
Obviously not an internet survey

[Jon P. Inghram]

I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS *beep*ing COUCH!

[KvHagedorn]
