God, #10 is one of my all time faves! Probably the sexiest line Kevin Costner ever spoke. (shiver!) Love it!

Unknown said...

What a great list. I love it. Happy T13!

Ms Menozzi said...

You have several of my favorites here, and of course, 10 and 11 just made me melt... Wowser! (you'd like my t13 this week, too - I mention Costner in "Bull Durham"! Coincidence or Harmonic Convergence? You make the call...)

I'm looking forward to next weeks T13 - see ya then!

Ciao!

Unknown said...

Soon as I saw "have fun storming the castle" I knew I was going to love this list! Fabbo TT13 - and as Mel Brooks fan - I'm waiting for next week :)

Anonymous said...

I love all the quotes. And all the movies listed.

Kaige said...

Fun list, Chloe! Some great movie moments you captured. Happy TT!

Robin L. Rotham said...

Excellent list! Of course, the first movie line I thought of was "I'll have what she's having" from When Harry Met Sally.

And I LOVE Mel Brooks! Talk about a gold mine of lines -- I can't wait to see which ones you pick.

R.G. ALEXANDER said...

Have fun storming the castle!!
We say that all the time. :)

That and "Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Paige Tyler said...

LOL! Those are great!

*hugs*

Tempest Knight said...

Ooooh... That quote #11 has always made me melt... *wg*

Dana Belfry said...

Oh my gosh I still haven't seen casablanca but that American President quote is one of my alltime favorites.

I think the people who wrote that movie should be writing candidate speeches. They could use the help.

FABULOUS!!!! I love all of those.
My favorite line(s) is from "Philadelphia story"

"I think men are wonderful, don't you?" (Tracy Lord to Elizabeth Imbrie)

"The little dears." (Elizabeth Imbrie with GREAT sarcasm)

Shelley Munro said...

It's amazing how often these quotes are used in everyday conversation, too. Awesome TT.

Chloe Devlin said...

Thanks. There were so many others I wanted to choose.

I love that When Harry Met Sally quote. And the other ones from Princess Bride. Like:

Wuv, true wuv...

And Dana, Aaron Sorkin wrote The American President. He also wrote A Few Good Men, plus the West Wing on TV. He's incredibly bright and writes great memorable dialogue.

Kathleen Oxley said...

I ditto what's been said already - #10 is a great one!!

Happy TT!

Kate Willoughby said...

Number 11 (Rhett) is like the ultimate Alpha quote.
I cannot WAIT for next week. I adore Mel Brooks and owuld love to kick him out of retirement. (Miss his wife, the irreplacable Anne Bancroft.)

Do you recognize this quote?
"THOSE WHO ARE LATE DO NOT GET FRUIT CUP!"

Chloe Devlin said...

Kate, I believe that's a comment from High Anxiety. :)

Kate Willoughby said...

Yes! High Anxiety! What a hilarious movie. They just don't make them like that anymore.
