Well, I picked 2 of the top 5 quotes.

Again these polls are proven to be skewed by the AFI. They seem to believe there hasnt been a great movie quote in the past 30 years.

I dont think Brando shouldve gotten 2 in the top 5. AFI Bias.

give it 10-20 years, some of the old farts that vote will die and later generations raised on newer movies will come to top.

"Aint no man taking that route with me"

-Hotshots

When Walleye finds out that that only way to fix his vision problem is surgery going in through his anal cavity.

Can't believe that one wasn't on the list!

the lack of big lebowski quotes completely nullifies this list.

that the list needed to be clean enough to air on commercial tv completely nullifies the list.

gotta have some patton quotes in there too.
