Classic Movie Quotes Quiz – Lines That Lived On

Some movie lines become part of everyday language, quoted long after audiences have forgotten the plots. The American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest movie quotes is topped by Rhett Butler's farewell in Gone with the Wind.

Casablanca supplies several famous lines, though the phrase play it again, Sam is never actually spoken. The Wizard of Oz, Sunset Boulevard and Psycho gave us lines that became cultural shorthand, and Some Like It Hot ends with nobody's perfect.

Later classics added more, from The Godfather's offer to Jaws's improvised call for a bigger boat and Taxi Driver's mirror scene. Famous quotes show how screenwriters and actors can capture a character in just a few words.
