1 "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." - The Godfather
I hear this at least twice a week in general conversation.
2 "Houston, we have a problem." - Apollo 13
Ah this is the best one for me!
It's also used quite often in todays movie!
Or "Houston, we have a liftoff."
3 "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'." - Casablanca
Thank-you, Britgirl. As a matter of fact, my first draft of this list included four quotes from Casablanca, but I thought I should try for variety,
I'd heard this quote countless times as "Play it again, Sam." before I finally asked who on earth Sam was.
PetSounds, if you hadn't put this quote on this list, I would surely have cried. Thank you! Great list by the way!
4 "Go ahead, make my day." - Sudden Impact
5 "Bond. James Bond." - Dr. No
Who would have thought that a name could become so iconic?
6 "Show Me The Money" - Jerry Maguire
I can't believe it wasn't on the list and I had to add it. It's so epic.
7 "It's alive! It's alive!" - Frankenstein
8 "May the force be with you." - Star Wars
9 "I will be watching you." - Meet the Parents
10 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." - Gone with the Wind
I love this movie so much! I never get bored of it, even if it is one of Hollywood's longest films.
Classic timeless quote, I'd say this all day if I wanted to.
The most famous use of swearing in movie history.
