It's nice that out of all the Caddyshack quotes available they chose that one.....this AFI top 100 thing must be rigged, [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img].

The other interesting thing is that most of the movies used to quote are very UNquotable movies....and/or have just one usable quote. Not that the list was supposed to capture this....I was just hoping/expecting some movies where I'd be torn between all the great quotes that could have bene used (a la Caddyshack...where they quoted perhaps the 15th best quote of the movie).

I don't think you get it. Almost every single quote in the list has entered the American lexicography. Many people know the quotes but have no idea where they came from. That's a good quote, not a funny line about gohpers.

Well...we disagree about what a good quote consists of....but that is ok.

Who doesn't think that quote from Caddyshack has entered any sort of lexicography...also, any line about the actual gopher in Caddyshack is at the bottom of the list obviously (have you *seen* the movie?!?!).

Then make up your own criteria. That was the basis for this list. If it was funniest quotes then yeah, sure Caddy Shack, Big Lebowski, etc. But there's a full few paragraphs explaining the criteria for voting on the quotes.

CBS's target audience isn't college kids and homeless people you noob. GTFO.

Haha. I use this one all the time. It's also used in a Family Guy episode, as many will know.

He's not as tough as he thinks he is. "Neither are we."

The one very noticable omission is "Squeal like a pig," from Deliverance. This is a pretty classic movie and just about everyone knows this one quote and cringe because of the memories it brings back.
