100 Years...100 Movie Quotes: The JFI Version


 

    Since I did so much complaining to anyone who would listen about the job that the AFI did on their movie quote list last spring, I’ve created my own with the stipulations that I’ve seen all of the movies listed here and that none of the quotes on their list also appears on mine, which basically means no Casablanca and plenty of John Hughes.  Yes, that leaves some very memorable lines in movie history out, but this one is much more relevant to what makes me tick.  After months of collecting a couple hundred entries, I’ve finally narrowed it down to the following 100.  Enjoy and feel free to rip me apart.
