Other | Tuesday 4th March 2014 | Nathan
A significant factor that contributes to a movie's success is effective dialogue – quotes that people recite after watching a particular film. The most powerful and distinctive ones are those that, once mentioned, people recognise the film that the quote originates from.
I’ve compiled a list (in no particular order) of the top 10 movie quotes of all time.
“You talkin’ to me? You talking’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talking… you talking to me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to? Oh yeah? Ok.” – Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) – Taxi Driver (1976)
“Say hello to my little friend!” – Tony Montana (Al Pacino) – Scarface (1983)
“Get to the chopper!” – Major Alan ‘Dutch’ Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) – Predator (1987)
“You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?” – Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) – Goodfellas (1990)
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” – Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) – The Godfather Part III (1990)
“Hasta la vista, baby” – The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) – Terminator 2 (1991)
“Say ‘what’ again! Say ‘what’ again! I dare you! I double-dare you, motherfucker! Say ‘what’ one more goddamn time!” – Jules (Samuel L Jackson) – Pulp Fiction (1994)
“You got knocked the fuck out, man!” Smokey (Chris Tucker) – Friday (1995)
“My precious!” – Gollum (Andy Serkis) – Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
“Madness? This is Sparta!” – King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) – 300 (2006)
I’m willing to bet that there will be viewers who wouldn’t completely agree with my list. In fact, I would be surprised if there are any who have the exact same list. That’s the beauty of having an opinion. So get involved and create your own top 10 list.
