Talk:AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes

message: >>"Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'" Casablanca (1942). Usually misquoted as "Play it again, Sam."<<
Not really. Bergman said the line mentioned above. The "Play it again, Sam" misquote is attrib to Bogey, whose actual dialogue is:
:RICK: You played it for her and you can play it for me.
:SAM: Well, I don't think I can remember it.
:RICK: If she can stand it, I can. Play it!
Given the ubiquity of the Bogey (mis)quote, I think AFI got the wrong stick here. SigPig 04:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is Pat O'Brien credited with this? Ronald Reagan said it.
:Appears O'Brien might say it first and Reagen is quoting him: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032676/quotes (John User:Jwy talk) 16:23, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Win one for the Gipper..."

message: I have made some reversions because people have been "fleshing out" the quotes. Point is, the quotes as is are the ones selected, for better or worse, as being great. In other words, "You can't handle the truth!", not "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!" --SigPig 07:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Anyone heard of a video with each of these quotes (in clip form)? That's the first thing I thought of when I read this list. If there isn't, I'd be interested in working on one...

message: I'm surprised nobody noticed the mistake in the lead. It was written that Faye Dunaway had two quotes, when she only has one on that list. Judy Garland was not listed as having more than one quote, while she has two. I made the changes accordingly. Jeffpw 11:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

:AFI states in their nominations that it was Clyde, played by Warren Beatty. If you know better than they do, cite a source. Cheers. -- SigPig |SEND - OVER 16:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says that this is often a misquote of Alfonso Bedoya in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.  That form of the quote is from Blazing Saddles, which being a parody, I presume was making fun of the line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.  So technically it isn't being misquoted but rather people tend to quote Blazing Saddles.  Maybe the comment should be tweaked to mention Blazing Saddles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danacv2 (talk • contribs) 15:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What was wrong with the Gone With The Wind screenshot? It's the most famous, it should be up there!
:It is an issue of fair use criteria.  The posters can only be used to represent their respective films... this is stretching it since it's more representing the AFI list than the film... gren グレン 02:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The end of Peter Finch's famous line is always remembered as: "... I'm not going to take it anymore," but he never says it that way. He says "... I'm not going to take this anymore." This raises two questions: 1) Should the article quote the line as it's remembered or as it was spoken? 2) Does it even matter? Even if we correct the quote, I suspect people will read what they remember, not what is actually on the page. (I remember that, in the movie, when others repeat his mantra, they all say it the way we remember it.)
I believe Vito Corleone's famous offer isn't quoted quite they way he says it in the movie, either. I wonder how many of the quotes are remembered incorrectly. --MiguelMunoz 09:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Am I the only one who thinks there should be more quote articles? I mean, Movie quotes like, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," and "Go ahead, make my day," have articles.

message: Is it really necessary to mention every movie and actor that said the phrases? If AFI said it was Sean Connery then just leave it with Sean Connery.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stinger503 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have restored the "Distinctions" section that was recently deleted by Koavf. I think this is largely an editorial decision, and one that should be made by consensus. I also think that some of the information in the section is useful. Readers might benefit from knowing of the quotes originally derived from real-life, for example, and this information should also be easily sourceable. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:01, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

message: In Field of Dreams the winning quotation is spoken by "The Voice."  I know AFI's nomination document attributes the line to Shoeless Joe as portrayed by Ray Liotta, but I wonder where they get their information.  The end credits of the film only say "The Voice" was played by "Himself."  I've listened to the director's commentary on the DVD in the past and I don't believe that the question was answered there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.44.74.152 (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The fact that AFI didn't include the "Why so serious?" quote by The Joker on The Dark Knight movie make this list a little inaccurate.

message: I have added the "Dubious" tag to quote from Sun-tzu's The Art of War, in "Real Life Quotes" section. 
I have searched for the quote, or similar phrases, in the book itself (here in Gutenberg : http://www.gutenberg.org/files/132/132-h/132-h.htm ) , and it doesn't appear. Alexcalamaro (talk) 08:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Did a bit of googling and will delete the sentence.  I could find no secondary sources that seem authoritative for attributing the quote as is to Sun-tzu - my impression is that the connection is to The Art of War, III. "18. Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat." - which you can see might have contributed to the sentiment of the quote, but without a reliable source, I don't think the comment belongs here.  --John (User:Jwy/talk) 16:06, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
