The classic question

[yendi]

shadesong is asking folks for the most quotable movie ever. The movies that have been named so far are the obvious ones (as they should be). Go add to the mayhem.

Done. Sorry, GwtW fan from wayyyyyy back. (I have a collection.....)

That thread has zero credibility with me, because in 111 comments no one has mentioned the single most-quoted movie ever.

Sadly, I believe you're wrong, as olliesmama, above, points out that she has posted GwtW quotes, including the most quoted line from the most-quoted movie.

Which isn't to say it's a movie I think is great, good, or anything but vastly overrated (in spite of its tied to Atlanta).

Now, the second-most quoted movie (and possibly the best one ever made) hasn't been mentioned.

EDIT: As I checked it, dgkgoldberg just mentioned it.

It took entirely too long.

And, "second-most quoted?" I beg to differ. You hear "round up the usual suspects" much more often than you hear anything from GWTW.

I'm pretty sure that "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" and "Tomorrow is another day" are uttered more often than the "usual suspects" line. Doesn't make 'em any better, but they are a little more common.If anything, I think the most common lines are the "beautiful friendship" one and the infinite variations of "of all the bars."
