The 100 Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time (That You May Have Forgotten About)

I'm sure you're all sick of seeing list upon list of the greatest movie quotes where the top 10 quotes almost seem duplicated. You can almost count on the inclusion of "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" and almost every second line of Casablanca. Many of the quotes on these lists are iconic, but classic status does not equate to being fresh, and a quote like "Go ahead, make my day" has lost its zing because of parody and overuse. Don't fret. I am here to offer you 100 movie quotes that you may never have heard before, or quotes that don't receive the recognition they deserve. As I'm trying to avoid "the usual" great movie quotes, none of the quotes on this list appear on AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes list.
