When a movie becomes ‘iconic’ or ‘legendary’ —it’s obvious that it has managed to produce at least a few memorable lines/dialogs or quotes or even taglines that’s powerful enough to define any specific moment in our lives. Because words are immortal. Some Movie Quotes become so legendary that they prove to be just as effective in real life as they were in Cinematic fictions. And we start to use them so every often that they became a part of ourselves and sometimes can even define who we are. Even if it is just to to evoke the memory of a treasured film, our affection towards these one liners, thus ensures and enlivens, its historical legacy.
So incase you forgot a few of them consider yourself lucky. This Infographic below will store them back in your memory…
(I’ve also added the top 10 quotes from AFI’s list at the botom just to show you how my list distinguishes itself so do check that out as well)

AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie Quotes
For your curiosity . . .
♠ AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie Quotes is a list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema. The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the list on June 21, 2005, in a three-hour television program on CBS. The program was hosted by actor Pierce Brosnan and had commentary from many Hollywood actors and filmmakers. A jury consisting of 1,500 film artists, critics, and historians selected a total 100 of the most memorable American Movie Quotations of all time.
(Since my list of quotes features a lot of seemingly unknown one liners)

Excellent collection quotes; some of my favourites from your lot, include Casablanca (that movie is full of quotes), Love Story, Forrest Gump & Jerry Maguire!!!!!
And for the AFI, Top 10, you’ve posted; “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” (I specifically loved the way Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) said it, with no emotion what so ever; he ‘really’ didn’t give a damn, no anger, no pain, nothing, devoid of feeling; what a relaxed mind. I also love the quotes from Sunset Boulevard & Taxi Driver!!!
Cool post my friend!! 🙂

Yep! Clark Gable said it better than anybody else ever could. That’s why I agree with AFI’s top selection. Other two favorite quotes would Clint Eastwood’s ‘Make My Day’ and De Niro’s “You talk’n to me?” – These two quotes had the same powerful depth as Gable’s quote had.
Thanks a lot for the comment mate! I’m very glad you liked it 🙂
