“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
What an iconic line from ‘Gone With The Wind’, one of the greatest movies ever made…

Next year, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ will be turning 85.

One underrated movie that didn’t make this list is Sunset Boulevard. “Alright, Mr. DeMille. I’m ready for my close-up.” Or “I’m big. It’s the pictures that got small.” Every line that Gloria Swanson uttered in that movie is iconic.

Rhett Butler's iconic final line, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." Was almost left out of the final cut, because it didn't meet industry standards for swearing in films at the time. Had it been cut, the word "damn" would have been replaced with "straw." I'm glad it stayed the same, as it wouldn't have been nearly as brutal or impactful otherwise.

Wow! So many fantastic movies here, It's overwhelming!
Any Top 10 list that has Casablanca, To Have Or Have Not, Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind, It's A Wonderful Life, All About Eve, Streetcar, One The Waterfront, Wizard Of Oz and Midnight Cowboy has got to be a good one!
I recommend all these masterpieces of cinema if you haven't seen them yet! They're all well worth watching.

You left out some favorites. Mae West: "Why don't you come up and see me"; Arnold: "I'll be back"; Strother Martin: "What we have here is a failure to communicate"; "May the force be with you"; Clint Eastwood: "Go ahead, make my day".

Thank you for sticking with classic (old) Hollywood films. The youngest one was Midnight Cowboy, 1969. This film has one of the very best sound tracks of all time.

“Here’s looking at you, kid.”
“I think this is the beginning of our beautiful friendship.”

Two famous lines from ‘Casablanca.’

[DTChannelStudio]

The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Casablanca (1942) both have wonderful and amazing quotable lines that are so famous and very well preform by talented actors/actress as well.
But I will say this, those two movies along any other movies from the past will always bring the magic and nostalgia for generations to come. And that's no lie!

[kandipiatkowski]

I use many quotes from Back to the Future, Beetlejuice, and many others. One of my favorites is (when referring to a boring book or workplace manual) it reads like stereo instructions...lol

[HaleyRadiant]

Man, most of these movies here could make their own lists, their so quotable! Ahhhh I miss this timeless quality ☺️

[joyunicycle]

I thought “Frankly my dear…” would be #1.
Every time that moment played in the theater, everybody applauded. Also it was the one line to get past the Hayes code at the time

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

“I’m walkin’ here!”
Love that classic line from the NC-17 rated movie ‘Midnight Cowboy.’

[joannryan]

"Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to" from the original Miracle on 34th Street

[RachelBarker-ovzg]

Im surprised The Godfather's "Im gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" didn't make it anywhere on the list.

[heathers]

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

[MarissaFloro]

Absolutely love the Wizard of Oz. There are for sure some major hard hitters in this list. I wonder if we can watch more black and white movies on streaming platforms.

[cjplay]

I very much enjoyed this list. Especially noting the number of entries actually licensed by Warner Bros. Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane and others. It just shows how immense that film library is.

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

“Say hello to my little friend!
1983’s ‘Scarface’, one of my top 5 most favorite Hollywood remakes of all time.
😊

[tomosmarland]

'Alright Mr Demille. I'm ready for my closeup ', from Sunset Boulevard would be a mention on my list.
