If so, do you agree with their assessments? Were there any that you were surprised either did or didn't make it on there?
FWIW, the number one quote according to them was "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" from "Gone With The Wind".

I'll admit, some of these quotes did conjure up memories of the movies they came from -- which I guess is the point, and how the criteria was defined. But many didn't. And even when they did, they didn't actually epitomize the movie, they just happened to be the line, or in some cases the word, most easily recalled by lazy memories.
I'd have been a lot happier if they'd asked me to pick a top 10 out of their top 100 choices! But I guess everyone has their personal picks so que sera, let's forget the trivia and salute the films.
