In 2005 June 21st American Film Institute ran a three-hour special on CBS about the top 100 quotations in American Cinema. AFI's 100 years...Series started in 1998 with the Top 100 movies and every year they had a special on 100 something. Just to name a few of them are: 100 passions, 100 song, 100 heroes and villains. But for this blog we will only talk bout the 100 Movie Quotes.
This is the short video of what AFI's 100 years...Series used
Who picked and voted for this top 100 Famous Movie Quotes? Well the jury consisted of 1500 film artist, critics, and historians. These people voted on any movie that was made in America. The winner in this contest is Actor Clark Gable plating in Gone with the Wind, and the quotation went like this "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." The other 99 are equally great lines that will be remembered through out history and will be classic quotes for a very long time.
Now there are hundreds of videos on youtube that is a compilations and mashup of movie quotes that the creator of the video think is the best lines of all time. These are personal opinions and are hand selected by the video maker but they are still entertaining and awesome to watch.
This one is my personal favorite of all the 100 movie quote montages
This is the ring that Sméagol from Lord of the Rings called "Precious!". Which is one of my all time favourite line of all time.

These are link to people who did mash up. Mash ups do not only end at movie quotes. They mix of anything and any number of things. That is what makes it so fun and entertaining.

Lol the video was cool
ReplyDeleteYour summary of the great movie quotes project is clearly written and very useful. I wonder if any of the ds106 video assignments tie-in to what you're talking about here???
ReplyDeleteAs for the mid-term, it is preferable to have the hyperlinks appear as words in the text as opposed to list of URLs tacked on at the end of a post.
@mome: I know, that is what kinda got me into watching very interesting movies just because of the awesome lines.
ReplyDelete@Lockman: Thank you. I did get the idea from the ds106 mash up video assignment. It really inspired me to make the blog.
