Aliens and Pulp Fiction would make up about 25 of my personal Top 100 alone.

When I initially read the list I also thought about all these "classic" lines in movies from the last ten or fifteen years or so, but obviously they stand out more since I watch those kind of movies that much more. Between Napoleon Dynamite, Swingers and Office Space I could easily come up with 100 lines that I find hilarious.

They should have included a line from Bladerunner though. "If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes," or "Wake up! Time to Die!"

My noticeable ommissions:

"Luke, I am your father." - Vader to Luke, The Empire Strikes Back

"I will not be IGNORED, Dan." - Glenn Close's character to Michael Doughlas' character, Fatal Attraction

"Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller" - teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you MISS." - Verbal Quint, aka Kaiser Sos-ay, The Usual Suspects

"I see your Swartz is as big as mine." Dark Helmet to Lonestarr, Spaceballs

Furthermore, I FIRMLY believe that the Fatal Attraction quote should've made the top 10.

"Obviously, you're not a golfer." The Dude, The Big Lebowski.

-"The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you do NOT TALK about Fight Club!"

-"We are the knights who say NI!"

-Austin Powers' "Yeah baby!" (remember how often you heard that one?)

-Caddyshack's choice should be "So I got that going for me. Which is nice." I've never even seen Caddyshack, but that's been quoted to me a thousand times.

-"Luke, I am your father." Not only should that be up there, it should be top FIVE.

Also, the "Play, 'As Time Goes By'" quote (28) should probably not be on the list at all, since it is perhaps the most frequently misquoted movie line of all time. People remember it as, "Play it again, Sam."

Woah. Does the link say this was revealed in a THREE HOUR TV special? it would take five minutes to hear all these quotes. Tops.

No question about this one. The Star Wars quote they had on their list was lame in comparison to the impact this one had.

I think "May the Force be with you" has had a little more cultural impact, but both should have definitely been on the list of Top 100. Then again, I probably would've put "Dillon...you son of a bitch" from PREDATOR on the list, too.

They're the most memorable quotes, not the funniest.

Yeah, my two cents is that they actually did an okay job of putting quotes that you and your mom probably know... with this kind of criteria not all the hippest stuff is represented.
