Link up with Stasha at The good life for Monday Listicles. It's a different topic every week - follow along and join in. Stasha's a great host and always has interesting things for us to make our lists about. Besides, cool people hang out there.
This week's topic: 10 BEST MOVIE QUOTES. I sat down to make my list and thought, "who came up with THIS?" Oh, that's right. It was me. Well it seemed like a good idea at the time. Until I had to actually come up with them!
I was going to go with the classics, like "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." But I decided to go with a little more recent quotes. Not too recent, though, because I'm terribly behind on movies.
1. "Hey... crotchmouth! Yeah, you! Zip it, or I'll come up there and zip if for ya!" (The Blind Side) Why have I never reused that term?
2. “I do wish we could chat longer, but I’m having an old friend for dinner” (The Silence of the Lambs) Creeeeeepy.
3. "I can't believe I just gave my panties to a geek." (Sixteen Candles)
4. "You're killing me Smalls!" (The Sandlot) - most re-used line in my house OF ALL TIME.
5. “I’ve been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I’ve come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains.” (High Fidelity) I have a strange love of that movie.
6. "I have been touched by your kids... and I'm pretty sure that I've touched them." (School of Rock) Um, possibly the best terribly, inappropriately worded line.
7. "Michael, I want you to have a good time but if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock, I will crawl into the car, drive up to Oxford and cut off your penis." (The Blind Side) I actually plan on using this quote when I drop my son off at college next year.
8. "Who would've thought we'd have a black son before we met a Democrat?" (The Blind Side) Loved that movie. I should have just done a list of the best 10 lines from The Blind Side. Even then, I'd have a hard time choosing - there were some great lines in that movie.
9. "You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!" (The Holiday) Listen up, ladies, you heard it here...
10. “Either get busy living, or get busy dying.” (Shawshank Redemption)
Bonus - “My mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you’re gonna get” (Forrest Gump)
Worst Quote Bonus - "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." (Dirty Dancing) Strangely, this is also a highly used quote in my house - we say it when something in a movie, on a show, in life is just ridiculous. In fact, it's like our secret code for "ridiculous".

Quoting High Fidelity makes me love you. Seriously.
well you knocked that one out of the park (did I say that right?) totally awesome. I am going to watch Blind side this week. Done!
And thank you for picking out an awesome topic. You rock. xo
I used your worst one too. Dirty Dancing was a favorite movie, but that line is cheesy. Love all your the Blind Side quotes. Awesome movie!
I can't resist the Baby in the corner quote. I don't care how cheesy it is :)
Great idea, this is my first list link and I love movies, so it made it easy. :)
All great ones. How could I have forgotten the Forrest Gump quote in my list? Love this topic.
Anytime Shawshank comes up, that post deserves a high score in my book.
I've never been able to remember movie dialogue for some reason. My kids make fun of me all the time because it's as if I've never even seen the movie! However, some of them on your list I do know! Yay!
These are all great. Loved Blind Side. Thanks for a the fun topic this week! :)
#2 is definitely creepy! Hannibal Lecter had so many great quotes.
I have to admit I have not seen the Blind Side but will definitely need to now.
Number 10...love it! Thanks for a great topic this week.
So So enjoyed doing this topic - THANK YOU!
It really was hard to cut it down to just 10 quotes. I didn't realize how so many of them have become part of our daily communication.
HA - I was also going to use "nobody puts Baby in the corner" as the example of a ridiculous one that for some reason has become so popular.
Love these, especially the 16 candles reference! Although I have to disagree with "Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner." Come on, you know you've watched that movie 100 times!
School of Rock, High Fidelity, and Blind Side are great very quotable movies. And I love The Holiday too, but I have never quoted it before. Plan on changing that now. Thanks! Erin
Thank you for such a fun topic this week. It's been as much fun reading all the lists as it was making my own. Now I have a lot of movie watching to do.
I nearly used that quote from Sixteen Candles too. It was a toss-up and in the end I had to go with Long Duk Dong.
Awesome topic! I swear I tell my boys daily "You're killing me smalls!" And I totally plan on using that quote from The Blind Side on my son when he does to school!
I think I like your list better than mine!
I love the quotes from Sixteen Candles, The Holiday, Shawshank, and the Sandlot!
I'm visiting from the Monday Listicles hop.
And great idea by the way!
Kate
I LOVE The Blindside! Now I want to watch it!
Great list, Ally! I should re-watch the Blind Side. The quote in #6 made me laugh, and your commentary on #7 made me laugh harder. :)
Oh, and your worst quote made my list - mostly because I was totally drawing a blank. :)
