Best Movie Quotes: Hollywood's Top 100 Lines | Hollywood Reporter "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Love Story, 1970 Photofest One of the most parodied movie lines in cinema — even Ryan O’Neal himself poked fun at it in Peter Bogdanovich's screwball comedy What's Up, Doc?.

When Barbra Streisand quotes it, he retorts, "That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard." 99 "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" Braveheart, 1995 Photofest The only way Paramount pictures would fund Mel Gibson's passion project about the 13th century Scottish noble was if he agreed to star in it as well as direct. 98 "They call me Mister Tibbs!" In the Heat of the Night, 1967 Photofest Poitier did not want to shoot the film in Mississippi because he had been harassed by the Ku Klux Klan when he had visited there with Harry Belafonte at the height of the civil rights movement in 1964, so most of it was filmed in Sparta, Illinois. Filmmakers even changed the name of the fictional Mississippi town in the movie to Sparta so they wouldn’t have to pay to have the town’s water tower repainted.

97 100 "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." When Harry Met Sally, 1989 Photofest Writer Nora Ephron’s first draft didn’t have Sally and Harry ending up together because she considered a breakup to be a more realistic ending. So when it came time to film the revised happy ending, Billy Crystal ad-libbed much of his dialogue with Meg Ryan, including this most remembered line of the picture. 96 100 "If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." Taken, 2008 Photofest True to his word, Liam Neeson kills 35 men in 93 minutes in the first film, scores more in the second and third, and who knows how many in the planned TV prequel.

95 Jerry Maguire, 1996 Photofest "It was one of those lines that came so easily, it felt almost too easy," remembers writer-director Cameron Crowe. "When I first gave the script to Tom Cruise, and we were reading through it, I said, 'I'm going to change that line.' He said, 'Uh, I love that line. Why don't you give me a crack at it.' I left it in, and on the night of filming — it was 4 a.m., on a Friday, and everybody was dropping from exhaustion — Tom says the line. By the end of his speech, everybody was in tears. Across the room, Renee was a wreck. Tom had delivered the line so powerfully, and so directly to her, she was still getting over it. Later he told me, 'I had always wanted to say 'I love you' like that in a movie.'" 94 100 "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife.

And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." Gladiator, 2000 Photofest Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott didn’t quite see eye to eye on the screenplay, and on this line in particular. He routinely strayed from the script — by John Logan and William Nicholson — trying to improvise a bunch of alternatives, until Scott forced him to read the line as written. It went over like gangbusters, even though Crowe still hated it: "It was shit. But I'm the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good." The "shit" script would get nominated for best original screenplay at the 2001 Oscars and Crowe would win best actor. 93 There Will Be Blood, 2007 Photofest A variation of the line was uttered by Sen.

Albert Fall of New Mexico during congressional hearings in 1924 on the Teapot Dome scandal, which also involved oil tycoon Edward Doheny, who was the basis for Daniel Day-Lewis’ character: "Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and my straw reaches across the room, I’ll end up drinking your milkshake." 92 "Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" Planet of the Apes, 1968 Photofest The secret behind Charlton Heston’s hoarse, gravelly delivery? Great acting, sure, but also Heston had the flu through much of the production. 91 "You make me want to be a better man." As Good as It Gets, 1997 Photofest Though Jack Nicholson worried that his character was so unlikeable people would flee theaters, he ended up winning an Oscar for it, along with co-star Helen Hunt. 90 This Is Spinal Tap, 1984 Photofest Amp maker Marshall liked the publicity surrounding this line so much, they made Christopher Guest a special set of speakers whose highest setting is infinity. 86 "I'm walking here!

I'm walking here!" Midnight Cowboy, 1969 Photofest Dustin Hoffman’s line was ad-libbed, and the scene was shot guerilla style because they didn’t have enough money to shut down a New York street. The cab "almost hit us," Hoffman once recalled. "I guess the brain works so quickly, I said, in a split of a second, 'Don’t go out of character …' So I said, 'I'm walking here.' Director John Schlesinger started laughing. He clapped his hands and said, 'We must have that, we must have that,' and redid it two or three times, because he loved it." 85 "It was Beauty killed the Beast." King Kong, 1933 Photofest When producer Merian C. Cooper pitched the role to Fay Wray, he told her, "You’ll have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood." Wray was sure she’d be acting with Cary Grant. 84 100 "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges!

I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, 1948 Photofest The misquote of the line — "We don’t need no stinking badges!" — started with Micky Dolenz in a 1967 episode of The Monkees TV series, but Mel Brooks got it wrong, too, in 1974's Blazing Saddles. 83 "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." The Devil Wears Prada, 2006 Photofest The National Science Teachers Association encourages biology and life sciences teachers to use this line to start a conversation about body image, nutrition and digestion among teenagers.

82 "They call it a Royale with cheese." Pulp Fiction, 1994 Photofest If John Travolta’s character had been hiding out in Italy rather than France, the line would have been "They call it a McRoyal DeLuxe." If he’d been in Japan, he might have skipped the beef and tried the "Filet-O-Shrimp Burger." 81 Poltergeist, 1982 Photofest Actress Heather O’Rourke, who was just 6 when she made Poltergeist, tragically died at age 12, in 1988, from complications of a bowel obstruction. 80 "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, 1937 Photofest Snow White was the only major character then-18-year-old Adriana Caselotti ever voiced. "Walt Disney thought it would spoil the illusion if you knew who the people were who provided the voices in the film," she revealed in a 1987 interview, about the strict contract that kept her from other parts.

(She died in 1997 at age 80.) 79 "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." The Godfather: Part III, 1990 Photofest Mario Puzo’s literary estate, which contained 20 different versions of the Godfather III script written between 1978 and 1989, recently sold at auction to a private collector for $625,000. 78 The Karate Kid, 1984 Photofest "I never imagined the 'wax on, wax off' would amount to anything," says screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. "The crane at the end was the one. I wanted that to be the big moment. If I thought anyone remembered anything they'd remember that." 75 "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" The Jazz Singer, 1927 Photofest Al Jolson was so excited about his rendition of "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face" that he spontaneously uttered the line before segueing into "Toot, Toot, Tootsie." The line was going to be cut but Sam Warner insisted it stay.

74 "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!" Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964 Photofest When Stanley Kubrick sat down with Peter George to adapt George’s novel Red Alert, the director struggled with treating the material as a straight drama, as he initially intended. "My idea of doing it as a nightmare comedy came in the early weeks of working on the screenplay," Kubrick said after the film’s release. "I found that in trying to put meat on the bones and to imagine the scenes fully, one had to keep leaving out of it things which were either absurd or paradoxical, in order to keep it from being funny; and these things seemed to be close to the heart of the scenes in question." 73 "I don't want to survive. I want to live." 12 Years a Slave, 2013 Photofest This line comes right from Solomon Northup’s 1853 book. Writer John Ridley has said he tried to remain true to the original. "To modify the man, no matter how sincere the desire, would have ultimately been dishonest.

Solomon's story begs for honesty. As the voice of his own history, what he wrote deserved fidelity." 72 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1939 Photofest Sherlock Holmes never utters this line in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories. It was invented entirely for the movies. 71 "That'll do, pig. That'll do." Babe, 1995 Photofest Although James Cromwell would get more screen time in George Miller's talking pig tale than in any of his previous films, he had only 171 words of dialogue. These are his best five. 70 "I wish I knew how to quit you." Brokeback Mountain, 2005 Photofest Screenwriter Diana Ossana got this gem directly from the New Yorker short story that inspired the film, co-written by Larry McMurtry. "The film has become a part of the popular culture," says Ossana.

"We have a Google Alert for the film, and in the 10 years since it came out there hasn't been a day that there wasn't something, somewhere in the news about Brokeback Mountain." 69 Frankenstein, 1931 Photofest Censors cut Dr. Frankenstein’s original line — "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God! Now I know what it's like to be God!" 65 "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951 Photofest This line was originally delivered onstage by Jessica Tandy, who played Blanche on Broadway, and was almost delivered in the movie by Olivia de Havilland (she was offered the role but wanted too much money). Vivian Leigh took it for $100,000, making her the highest-paid English actress of the time, but there may have been moments she regretted it; she and co-star Marlon Brando initially hated each other.

64 "Go ahead, make my day." Sudden Impact, 1983 Photofest In Kenya the mispronunciation of "make my day" is "makmende," which is slang for someone who tries to be a hero and was the name creators chose for the country’s first locally created superhero, described by CNN as "one part Shaft, one part Superman." 63 "I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?" Goodfellas, 1990 Photofest The "funny how" bit was heavily based on an incident Joe Pesci experienced as a young waiter when he complimented a mobster on his sense of humor. Needless to say, the man didn’t take it too well. Martin Scorsese heard the story during rehearsal and liked it so much that he let Pesci and Ray Liotta incorporate it by improvising their dialogue. The other actors in the scene weren’t given advanced notice because Scorsese wanted their genuine, unrehearsed reactions, and he shot it with only medium takes and no close-ups in order to capture their surprise. 62 "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

You're my only hope." Star Wars, 1977 Photofest Soon after the film came out in 1977, Sir Alec Guinness told the BBC that fans sought him out for Obi-Wan-like wisdom. "I’ve been getting some pretty strange letters: 'My wife and I have got problems, could you come over and live with us.'" 61 100 "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." To Have and Have Not, 1944 Photofest The racy double entendre wasn’t penned by the credited screenwriters — that’d be Jules Furthman and William Faulkner — but by producer Howard Hawks, who came up with the line at Lauren Bacall’s test screening. She was so good at it, Hawks asked Faulkner to pencil it into the shooting script. 60 "You is kind. You is smart. You is important." The Help, 2011 Photofest "One of the weirdest places I've seen the line pop up," says writer-director Tate Taylor, "was in a gift shop in Mississippi.

It was crocheted toilet-seat cover that said, 'You is kind, you is smart, you is important.' I guess they thought it would be a beautiful place to those words every day." 59 "After all, tomorrow is another day!" Gone With the Wind, 1939 Photofest Though the screenplay, which went through numerous revisions, has four credited writers, this line is lifted directly from the book, where it is the closing line of the novel. 58 A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951 Photofest Since 1997, the annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival has held a Stanley and Stella shouting contest. 57 "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Photofest L. Frank Baum, the author of the novel on which the film is based, reportedly thought up the name "Oz" when looking at his filing cabinets, which were organized from A to N and O to Z.

56 100 "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Notting Hill, 1999 Photofest No surprise that one of the ultimate rom-com lines of all time also had the biggest disparity between male and female voters. Women had it at No. 28. Men just No. 100. 55 Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1991 Photofest "Sayonara, baby" was used in the Spanish-language version of the film since hasta la vista wouldn’t have been funny to Spanish-speaking audiences. 53 "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Photofest Judy Garland became so attached to the little black Cairn Terrier who played Toto that she tried to adopt the pooch after filming ended. (His owner said no.) The dog, whose real name was Terry, was compensated well for his work: He got more than twice what the Munchkins received. 52 "Play it, Sam.

Play 'As Time Goes By.'" Casablanca, 1942 Photofest Blame Woody Allen and his 1972 comedy, Play it Again, Sam, for making this the all-time most misquoted movie line in film history. 51 "I'm having an old friend for dinner." The Silence of the Lambs, 1991 Photofest With lines as good as this one, Anthony Hopkins only needed about 16 minutes of screen time to win a best actor Oscar, among the shortest performances ever to earn someone an Academy Award in the category. 50 "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." Who Framed Roger Rabbit, 1988 Photofest The line was voiced before any part of Roger Rabbit had been illustrated, so to get Bob Hoskins in the mood, director Robert Zemeckis told the late actor to simply imagine his ideal sexual fantasy. 49 "If you build it, he will come." Field of Dreams, 1989 Photofest Another misquote!

Nobody in Field of Dreams ever says, "If you build it, they will come." 48 Finding Nemo, 2003 Photofest This line — voiced by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres — was so popular, it’s earned her sidekick fish character, Dory, her own Nemo sequel, Finding Dory, coming this summer. 47 "Mama says, 'Stupid is as stupid does.'" Forrest Gump, 1994 Photofest Forrest Gump may have popularized the phrase, but it’s actually a variant of the old adage, "Handsome is as handsome does,” which appears in, among other places, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Herman Melville's Billy Budd. 46 "I'm the king of the world!" Titanic, 1997 Photofest Director James Cameron admitted "making a fool of" himself by repeating the line as he accepted the movie's best picture Oscar. 45 Goldfinger, 1964 Photofest The line is uttered onscreen for the first time by Dr. No, the villain in the first Bond movie.

Bond himself doesn’t say it until Goldfinger, the third movie. 44 "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." Cool Hand Luke, 1967 Photofest Screenwriter Frank Pierson thought the line seemed too refined to be uttered by Strother Martin’s prison warden, so he wrote an elaborate backstory for the character that involved criminology courses that improved his vocabulary. 43 "I am big! It's the pictures that got small." Sunset Boulevard, 1950 Photofest Numerous retired silent film stars were considered for the role of Norma Desmond — Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Pola Negri — but, of course, the part ultimately went to Gloria Swanson, who stayed in character throughout the entire shoot. 42 "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." It's a Wonderful Life, 1946 Photofest There are 42 rings heard during the movie, meaning, if Clarence (Henry Travers) is right, 42 new angels.

41 "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." The Godfather, Part II, 1974 Photofest Although this line is variously attributed to Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and an Arabian proverb, this specific phrasing came straight from the pens of screenwriters Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola. 40 "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." The Usual Suspects, 1995 Photofest The line actually comes from 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire’s poetry collection Paris Spleen. In French it is, “La plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il n'existe pas." 39 "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Network, 1976 Photofest Network screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky originally envisioned Paul Newman in the the role that won Peter Finch an Oscar — the first to be given posthumously (the second went to Heath Ledger).

Two months before the Academy Awards, Finch suffered a heart attack in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel while waiting for a meeting with director Sidney Lumet. 38 100 "You don't understand! I could've had class. I could've been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." On the Waterfront, 1954 Photofest Rod Steiger's reaction to this line was filmed without Brando present. Brando’s deal with the studio allowed him to leave at 4:00 every day to attend therapy to deal with the recent death of his mother. 37 "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads." Back to the Future, 1985 Photofest One of two lines on this list that have been quoted in State of the Union addresses (see also: No. 32). "There is just no greater tribute you can get than have the president of the United States quote your movie, no matter what your politics are," says writer Bob Gale. 36 "Fasten your seatbelts.

It's going to be a bumpy night." All About Eve, 1950 Photofest Despite holding the record for the most Academy Award nominations for a single film (14, tied with Titanic) and making nearly every list of the top 100 movies of all time, this is one of the most misquoted lines in movie history. Most say, “…It’s going to be a bumpy RIDE. 35 "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Apocalypse Now, 1979 Photofest In the 37 years since the movie was released, this line has been parodied more than 50 times in other TV shows and movies, including Lizzie Maguire ("I love the smell of pop quizzes in the morning!") and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie ("I love the smell of destruction in the evening!"). 34 "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?" Dirty Harry, 1971 Another misquote.

Contrary to popular belief, Clint Eastwood never says, "Do you feel lucky, punk?" 33 "Say hello to my little friend!" Scarface, 1983 Photofest Al Pacino's M203 grenade launcher — which was custom-made for the film and later appeared in Predator — sold at an auction in November for $54,400. Jerry Maguire, 1996 Photofest "The most surreal part of hearing the line reappear in the culture," writer-director Cameron Crowe tells THR about Cuba Gooding Jr.'s signature phrase, "was when George W. Bush and then Barack Obama both quoted it in their State of the Union speeches. When Obama said it, my mom called immediately: 'OK, you did it,' she said, 'you got Bush and Obama to agree about something.'" 31 "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." The Godfather, 1972 Photofest Richard Castellano, who played Clemenza, ad-libbed "take the cannoli," riffing on an earlier scene where his character's wife asks him to pick up the dessert on his way home. 30 "Carpe diem.

Seize the day, boys." Dead Poets Society, 1989 Photofest "I have a pair of pants from a company called Carpe Denim," screenwriter Tom Schulman tells THR. "I didn't realize when I bought them, but when they were folded in a certain way I saw it on the inside of the waistband. The 'Denim' is pretty much the funniest thing I've seen with that line." 29 "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?" The Graduate, 1967 Photofest In Mike Nichols' movie, Mrs. Robinson is supposed to be 25 years older than recent college grad Ben Braddock. But in reality, 35-year-old Anne Bancroft was only six years older than 29-year-old Dustin Hoffman. 28 "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." Airplane, 1980 Courtesy of Photofest "I think people remember the line because of Leslie Nielsen’s delivery," Jeff Zucker (who co-wrote the script with his brother David and Jim Abrahamson) tells THR. "The way he said it was exactly what we were going for.

We told the actors to pretend they didn’t know they were in a comedy." 27 The Shining, 1980 Photofest All the script called for was for Jack Nicholson’s deranged writer, Jack Torrance, to break down the door to get to his cowering wife. But Nicholson added a little something to cut the tension — the production went through dozens of doors before director Stanley Kubrick was satisfied — and his improvised "Here’s Johnny!" made the cut. 26 "There's no crying in baseball!" A League of Their Own, 1992 Photofest "If somebody put a gun to my head and said 'What would be sort of the defining line from A League of Their Own, I would pick a line much later in the movie," says screenwriter Babaloo Mandel. "Geena Davis is quitting and she's trying to tell him, 'It just got too hard,' and Tom Hanks says to her, 'It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it.

The "hard" is what makes it great.' I would pick that." 25 "You had me at hello." Jerry Maguire, 1996 Photofest "It was a straight-up tip of the hat to Billy Wilder and the last line of The Apartment," says writer-director Cameron Crowe. "I always loved it when Shirley MacLaine said to Jack Lemmon, 'Shut up and deal.' It was the favorite last line to any movie in my family growing up. We loved it. So for Jerry Maguire, I wanted Renee to just cut him off and say it. The actual full line is, 'Shut up — you had me at hello.' It's pretty much a rule of thumb for every screenwriter: Billy Wilder will never steer you wrong." 24 "Houston, we have a problem." Apollo 13, 1995 Photofest Hollywood doing a little historical revisionism: In real life, astronaut Jim Lovell said, "Houston, we've had a problem." 23 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, 1982 Photofest Director Steven Spielberg voiced E.T.

during shooting — standing just to the side of the camera and interacting with the child actors. Then sound designer Ben Burtt recorded actress Pat Welsh, whose raspy smoker’s voice he overheard one day at a camera store, and mixed it with animal sounds to get the friendly alien’s voice just right. 20 "You can't handle the truth!" A Few Good Men, 1992 Photofest It took an entire day to shoot the climatic courtroom scene where Nicholson utters this line. When it came time to shoot coverage — filming reaction shots from others in the scene — director Rob Reiner told Nicholson he would get someone else to read his lines off-camera, but Nicholson insisted on reading them himself, doing the speech about 50 times. Why? "I just love to act," he told Reiner. 19 Casablanca, 1942 Photofest In an oral history for the Writers Guild, screenwriter Julius Epstein recalled, "I wrote a note to [producer] Hal Wallis telling him how terrible [the script for Casablanca] was. He put it in a drawer.

Thereafter, any time we had an argument about anything, he would open the drawer, pull out that note and hand it to [me] to read." 15 "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Casablanca, 1942 Photofest The original draft of the screenplay ended with Claude Rains, not Bogart, saying "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," and Bogart replying, "Yes, but don't forget you still owe me 10,000 francs." 14 "I'll have what she's having." When Harry Met Sally, 1989 Photofest According to Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan was so self-conscious about faking an orgasm, director Rob Reiner faked "an orgasm that King Kong would be jealous of" to make her relax. 13 Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980 Photofest One of the most misquoted lines in movie history, right up there with "Play it again, Sam." The real line has no "Luke" in it.

10 "The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club." Fight Club, 1999 Photofest Edward Norton and Brad Pitt took their preparation for Fight Club seriously. Both took lessons in boxing, tae kwon do, grappling and studied hours of UFC programming. Pitt even visited a dentist to have his front tooth chipped. They also almost didn’t get the roles: Matt Damon and Sean Penn were considered for The Narrator, but David Fincher wanted Norton, as he was impressed with his performance in The People vs. Larry Flynt. One producer has his eye on Russell Crowe for Tyler Durden, but another producer overruled him. 9 "There's no place like home." The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Courtesy of Still Moving The film adaption took a lot of liberties with L. Frank Baum's 1900 fantasy novel. The filmmakers did, however, take this jewel straight from the book. 8 Taxi Driver, 1976 Photofest Robert De Niro improvised the line.

The script simply said, "Travis speaks to himself in the mirror." Writer Paul Schrader told the actor his character was just "a little kid playing with guns and acting tough." 7 100 "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." Casablanca, 1942 Photofest Casablanca has the most quotes in the top 100. In addition to this one there are Casablanca lines at Nos. 2, 15, 16 and 52. 6 "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." The Godfather, 1972 Photofest Some variation of this line appears in all three Godfather movies. Screenwriter Mario Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola were on opposite coasts when they were co-writing the script for the first film — Puzo in New York City, Coppola in San Francisco — and they literally mailed drafts back and forth to each other.

5 "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Photofest Since Dorothy first uttered it 77 years ago, this line has popped up in countless TV shows and movies, from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to Avatar, from Grey’s Anatomy to Gilmore Girls. Not to mention Jo Dee Messina’s 1996 hit “You’re Not in Kansas Anymore.” 4 "May the Force be with you." Star Wars, 1977 Photofest Several characters say this line in the original movie, but surprisingly not Obi-Wan Kenobi, who doesn't utter it until 2002's Episode II: Attack of the Clones. 3 "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Jaws, 1975 Courtesy of Universal "[Richard] Zanuck and [David] Brown were very stingy producers and everyone kept telling them 'You're gonna need a bigger boat,'" recalls Jaws screenwriter Carl Gottlieb (who moved in with director Steven Spielberg for four months to work on the shooting script).

"It became a catchphrase for anytime anything went wrong — whether lunch was late or if the swells were rocking the camera." 2 "Here's looking at you, kid." Casablanca, 1942 Photofest The Japanese version of the line — "Kimi no hitomi ni kanpai'' — literally translates as, "Cheers to your eyes." Manako Ihaya of the American Translators Association calls it "a classic example of a good movie script translation" for its ability to capture the nuance of the English for the Japanese audience. 1 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Gone With the Wind, 1939 Photofest Two months before the movie’s release, censors demanded that "damn" be dropped. The producers came up with 22 variations of the line, including "Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a whoop," before the censors relented and allowed the "damn" to stay. Read more here.

Humphrey Bogart - Biography - IMDb Humphrey Bogart Biography Showing all 144 items Jump to: Overview (5) | Mini Bio (1) | Spouse (4) | Trade Mark (5) | Trivia (76) | Personal Quotes (41) | Salary (12) Overview (5) 5' 8" (1.73 m) Mini Bio (1) Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born in New York City, New York, to Maud Humphrey, a famed magazine illustrator and suffragette, and Belmont DeForest Bogart, a moderately wealthy surgeon (who was secretly addicted to opium). Bogart was educated at Trinity School, NYC, and was sent to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, in preparation for medical studies at Yale. He was expelled from Phillips and joined the U.S. Naval Reserve. From 1920 to 1922, he managed a stage company owned by family friend William A. Brady (the father of actress Alice Brady ), performing a variety of tasks at Brady's film studio in New York. He then began regular stage performances.

Alexander Woollcott described his acting in a 1922 play as inadequate. In 1930, he gained a contract with Fox, his feature film debut in a ten-minute short, Broadway's Like That (1930), co-starring Ruth Etting and Joan Blondell . Fox released him after two years. After five years of stage and minor film roles, he had his breakthrough role in The Petrified Forest (1936) from Warner Bros. He won the part over Edward G. Robinson only after the star, Leslie Howard , threatened Warner Bros. that he would quit unless Bogart was given the key role of Duke Mantee, which he had played in the Broadway production with Howard. The film was a major success and led to a long-term contract with Warner Bros. From 1936 to 1940, Bogart appeared in 28 films, usually as a gangster, twice in Westerns and even a horror film.

His landmark year was 1941 (often capitalizing on parts George Raft had stupidly rejected) with roles in classics such as High Sierra (1941) and as Sam Spade in one of his most fondly remembered films, The Maltese Falcon (1941). These were followed by Casablanca (1942), The Big Sleep (1946), and Key Largo (1948). Bogart, despite his erratic education, was incredibly well-read and he favored writers and intellectuals within his small circle of friends. In 1947, he joined wife Lauren Bacall and other actors protesting the House Un-American Activities Committee witch hunts. He also formed his own production company, and the next year made The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948). Bogie won the best actor Academy Award for The African Queen (1951) and was nominated for Casablanca (1942) and as Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny (1954), a film made when he was already seriously ill. He died in his sleep at his Hollywood home following surgeries and a battle with throat cancer.

- IMDb Mini Biography By: Ed Stephan stephan@cc.wwu.edu Spouse (4) ( 20 May 1926 - 18 November 1927) (divorced) Trade Mark (5) Typically played smart, playful, courageous, tough, occasionally reckless characters who lived in a corrupt world, anchored by a hidden moral code. Almost always played a hard-boiled cynic who ultimately shows his noble side. Low-key, distinctive nasal voice Roles in film noirs Trivia (76) The older of two children with Lauren Bacall , Stephen H. Bogart , discussed his relationship with Bogie in 1996 book, "Bogart: In Search of My Father". New York Times reported on 12/25/2000 that "Humphrey Bogart was born on 23 January 1899, but Warner Brothers publicity decided that a Christmas birthday would be far more advantageous because 'a guy born on Christmas can't be all bad.'" However, copies of two 1900 census forms prove this to be incorrect.

Ranked #9 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997] Bogart's speech defect (lisping) does not appear in the German dubbings of his voice, which is also lower. There is some dispute as to how Bogey's lip injury occurred. One story is that when Bogart was in the Navy, a prisoner he was escorting attempted to escape and hit Bogart in the face with his shackles. Bogart, fearing that he would lose his position and be severely punished for letting a prisoner escape, chased down the man and brought him successfully to the Portsmouth Naval Prison. However, because the surgeon who stitched up his face did not do a very good job, Bogart was left with his trademark lisp. Another version has it that he caught a large wood splinter in his lip at the age of 12, but the combat story is more exciting - a legend, indeed. Named his daughter, Leslie Bogart , "Leslie" to show his gratitude to Leslie Howard , who got him his big break in The Petrified Forest (1936).

Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, CA, in the Garden of Memory, Columbarium of Eternal Light (not accessible to the general public). Played chess by mail with GIs during WWII. In Key Largo (1948), Bogie takes the helm of a boat called the Santana. In real life, Santana was the name of Bogie's yacht, which he purchased from June Allyson and Dick Powell . His coffin contains a small, gold whistle, put there by his wife, Lauren Bacall . Was nicknamed "The Last Century Man" because he was born on Christmas Day 1899 (based on the popular belief that the 19th Century ended in 1899, not 1900 as it really was). Decades after his death, Bogie made a guest appearance on the TV horror series Tales from the Crypt (1989). Footage from several movies were computer enhanced and combined with a voice and body double to allow Bogart to receive top billing for the episode "You, Murderer." Guest starring with "Bogie" were John Lithgow and Isabella Rossellini , performing an eerie (and hilarious) parody of her mother, Ingrid Bergman .

Related to screenwriter Adela Rogers St. Johns ; his grandfather and her grandmother were brother and sister. Distantly related to the late Princess Diana , Princess of Wales, through her American relations. Ranked #1 on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest screen actors. Maud Bogart's drawing of her baby Humphrey appeared in a national advertising campaign for Mellin's Baby Food, not as often erroneously reported, for Gerber. Pictured on a 32¢ US commemorative postage stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series, issued 31 July 1997. Co-starred not only in Casablanca (1942), the film rated No. 1 on American Film Institute's list of Top 100 U.S. love stories (2002), but in four other films on AFI romance list: The African Queen (1951), ranked at #xx; Dark Victory (1939), ranked at #32; Sabrina (1954),ranked at #54; and To Have and Have Not (1944), ranked at #60.

Starred with his wife Lauren Bacall in the syndicated radio program "Bold Venture" (1951-1952). His character's name was Slate Shannon. He was of English, along with Dutch, German, distant French, and remote Belgian (Walloon), ancestry. His surname was of Dutch origin. His preferred brand of cigarettes was Chesterfield. Although usually considered a quiet and accommodating actor by most of his collaborators, he became disliked by William Holden and Billy Wilder during the filming of Sabrina (1954). A good friend before they made the film, Wilder later said that Bogart, near the end of his life, apologized for his behavior on the set and said it was due to his personal problems. Even so, Audrey Hepburn got along with him despite his criticism of her. At 5'8", he was almost exactly the same height as his beloved wife Lauren Bacall . He had just turned 57 and weighed only 80 pounds when he died on January 14, 1957. Off the set, he and Ingrid Bergman hardly spoke during the filming of Casablanca (1942).

She said later, "I kissed him, but I never knew him." Years later, after Ingrid Bergman had become involved with Italian director Roberto Rossellini , and borne him a child, he bawled her out for it. "You used to be a great star," he said. "What are you now?" "A happy woman," she replied. Bogart's coolness towards Bergman was later revealed to have been caused by the violent jealousy of his wife at the time, Mayo Methot, whose fears were realized when Bogart entered an affair with future wife Lauren Bacall . Though a poor student, he was a lifelong reader, and could quote Plato , Pope, Ralph Waldo Emerson and over a thousand lines of Shakespeare. He admired writers, and some of his best friends, including Richard Brooks , who directed him in _Deadline--USA (1952), were screenwriters. He was voted the Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly.

Almost all of the roles that made him a star (after a decade of toiling in minor films) were roles he got because George Raft had turned them down, from High Sierra (1941), in which Bogie was first noticed as a viable box office draw, to Casablanca (1942), which made him a true international star. Ironically, after having been overshadowed by Raft the whole first half of his career, Bogart remains a legend while Raft is all-but-forgotten. His marriage to Lauren Bacall occurred at the Pleasant Valley area of Richland County, Ohio, known as Malabar Farm, the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield (4 miles southeast of Lucas within Monroe Township). The home is now an Ohio State Park. He had many famous visitors as he grew ill from cancer during the year before he died, including but not limited to Katharine Hepburn , Spencer Tracy , Marilyn Monroe , George Cukor , Judy Garland , Clark Gable , Bette Davis , Frank Sinatra , Sammy Davis Jr. , Peter Ustinov , Billy Wilder , Dean Martin , and Kirk Douglas .

Frank Sinatra 's friends, known as The Clan, were originally a group of Bogart friends who enjoyed drinking heavily. They referred to themselves as 'The Holmby Hills Rat Pack', since Bogart lived in the Holmby Hills section of Hollywood. The Rat Pack name had originated one morning, after a night of heavy boozing, when Bogart's wife Lauren Bacall came upon the sodden group and flatly stated, 'You look like a God-damned rat pack.' Bogart enjoyed the term, and a legend was born. But Sinatra stopped using the "Rat Pack" name after Bogie died in 1957, and he and his friends hated it when others continued to label them that way (Source: Robert Osborne, Turner Classic Movies). He was voted the 13th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Premiere Magazine. So as to not look short next to co-stars like Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid , through most of the shooting of Casablanca (1942) (and in a few of his other films) Bogart wore platforms under his shoes that added nearly 5 inches of height to his frame.

Is mentioned, along with wife Lauren Bacall , in the hit 1980s song "Key Largo" ("We had it all, just like Bogie and Bacall"). Father: Belmont Bogart (1867-1934), mother: Maud Humphrey (March 30, 1865 in Rochester, NY-1940), sisters: Frances Bogart (1901-?) and Catherine "Kay" Bogart (1903-?). His performance as Fred C. Dobbs in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) is ranked #24 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006). His performance as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon (1941) is ranked #50 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006). Thomasville Furniture launched a line of classic furniture which draws inspiration from Bogart's films, known as The Bogart Collection.

His performance as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon (1941) is ranked #80 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. His performance as Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942) was ranked #19 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. However, according to Orson Welles , during 'Casablanca' 's filming, Bogart complained it was the worst movie he'd been in. Has three films on the American Film Institute's 100 Most Inspiring Movies of All Time. They are: Dark Victory (1939) at #72, The African Queen (1951) at #48, and Casablanca (1942) at #32. On June 24th, 2006, a section of West 103rd Street in the Upper West Side of New York City was renamed "Humphrey Bogart Place" in his honor. He had grown up at 245 W. 103rd Street (which is now public housing), and a plaque was put there to commemorate the event.

Is portrayed by Jerry Lacy in Play It Again, Sam (1972). For years, a 16mm print of the Janet Gaynor / Fredric March version of A Star Is Born (1937) would be screened at the Bogart household each and every Christmas Day (Bogart's birthday) while Bogart would sit watching the film and weeping. Finally, one year, director Richard Brooks , a long-time friend of Bogart's asked him why. "Because," Bogart explained, "I expected a lot more of myself. And I'm never going to get it.". Like his friends John Huston and Spencer Tracy , Bogart was a heavy smoker and a heavy drinker, allegedly sustaining two packs of Chesterfields a day. He was involved in a serious automobile accident late in the production of Beat the Devil (1953). Several of his teeth were knocked out in the accident, hindering his ability to speak clearly. Director John Huston hired a young British actor noted for his mimicry skills to re-record some of Bogart's dialog during post-production looping.

And although the talent of the young impersonator is such that the difference is undetectable while viewing the film today, it is a young Peter Sellers who provides Bogart's voice during some of the scenes. He was a friend of the English actor Jack Hawkins , who also suffered from throat cancer nine years after Bogart's death. In her essay "Humphrey and Bogie," Louise Brooks , who knew Bogart early in his career, said that the role she felt most closely personified Bogart's personality was Dixon "Dix" Steele in In a Lonely Place (1950): "In a film whose title perfectly defined Humphrey's own isolation among people, In a Lonely Place (1950) gave him a role that he could play with complexity because the film character's, the screenwriter's, pride in his art, his selfishness, his drunkenness, his lack of energy stabbed with lightning strokes of violence, were shared equally by the real Bogart.". He was a close friend of Richard Burton , and once confessed to the Welsh actor that his ambition had always been to act in a Shakespearean play on stage.

He regretted that the public probably would not be able to take him seriously in such a role, due to his screen image as the tough guy. Salary for 1942: $114,125. In 1952, he campaigned for Democratic Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson after initially supporting Republican candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower . All four of his wives were actresses. Was an outstanding chess player. At a time when many stores had a professional chess player who could be challenged by anyone, Bogie would challenge and win almost every game. The challenger would pay 50 cents. If he won, he got $1.00. Many stores wanted Bogie to turn pro, but he declined because he was making more money as a non-pro. Eventually he did turn pro and would beat 40 or more people a day. (Source: Paul Harvey, Jr.'s, "The Rest of the Story."). In late 1947, was to be a partner with producer Mark Hellinger in a proposed new company, Mark Hellinger Productions. Bogart invested $25,000 and was contracted to do two films a year.

Hellinger owned the rights to Willard Motley 's best selling novel "Knock on Any Door". However, Hellinger died in Dec. 1947. The rights to the novel passed to Bogart, and it became the first film of his own new independent production company, Santana Pictures Corporation: Knock on Any Door (1949). Lauren Bacall once recalled that while John Wayne and Fred Astaire hardly knew her husband Humphrey Bogart at all, they were the first to send flowers and good wishes after Bogart was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in January 1956. After undergoing a nine-and-a-half hour operation for esophageal cancer on 1 March 1956, Bogart began smoking filtered cigarettes for the first time in his life. Although he and wife Lauren Bacall initially protested the House Un-American Activities Committee, they both eventually succumbed to pressure and distanced themselves from the Hollywood Ten in a March 1948 Photoplay Magazine article penned by Bogart titled "I'm No Communist". Was best friends with John Huston . Is mentioned in the Bon Jovi song "Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen of Mars" along with his wife Lauren Bacall .

In the episode of The Simpsons (1989) entitled "Sideshow Bob Roberts", Bogart's name is spoofed when Lisa mentions a famous snake named 'Humphrey Boa-Gart". While he was married to fiery actress Mayo Methot he discovered that she suspected him of cheating on her - he wasn't - and had hired a private detective to follow him. Bogart found out the name of the agency the PI worked for, and called them up. When he reached the man's boss he said, "You got a man on my tail. Would you check with him and find out where I am?". He and Lauren Bacall are immortalized in Suzanne Vega 's song "Freeze Tag". The "Bogart Lisp" has been the subject of much speculation. However, it is now believed that it was natural and not the result of a combat injury (other stories attribute it to a drunken bar fight or an attack by a prisoner he was transporting while serving as a Shore Patrolman) during his US Navy service in WW I. His son, Steve Bogart , has the same speech impediment as his father. Was producer Hal B.

Wallis ' first choice as Burt Lancaster 's co-star in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957). The role was eventually played by Kirk Douglas . Clifton Webb once said about Bogart, "Humphrey was not a tough guy, He was not at all. He was about as tough as Little Lord Fauntleroy". According to "The Fifty Year Decline and Fall of Hollywood" by Ezra Goodman, Bogart would often strategically disappear from his table at the Hollywood landmark restaurant Romanoff's--a favorite Bogart hangout--when the check was brought to the table, especially after he had invited a magazine writer to dinner and drinks. Often the writer would wind up having to put on his expense account the bill that Bogart had run up for himself and his friends. Bogart's father, a wealthy surgeon, was friends with famed Broadway and film producer William A. Brady and the families lived near each other in New York City. It was through Brady that Bogart got his first acting job on Broadway, and he in fact worked for a while as the manager of Brady's film studio, World Films.

Bogart's friend, journalist Joe Hyams, wrote an authorized biography, "Bogie: The Definitive Biography of Humphrey Bogart" with an introduction by Lauren Bacall published by the New American Library in 1966. Bogart often played sailors in films such as The African Queen (1951), The Caine Mutiny (1954) and Action in the North Atlantic (1943). In real life Bogart joined the US Navy during the the First World War and served on the troopship USS Leviathan in the North Atlantic. Has a street named after him in Hallstead, Pennsylvania. Became a father for the 1st time at age 49 when his 4th wife Lauren Bacall gave birth to their son Stephen H. Bogart on January 6, 1949. Became a father for the 2nd time at age 52 when his 4th wife Lauren Bacall gave birth to their daughter Leslie Bogart on August 23, 1952. The first actor to form his own production company. Usually smoked 40 cigarettes a day.

Bogart and his third wife Mayo Methot had such a raucous relationship that they were known in Hollywood as "The Battling Bogarts". Personal Quotes (41) The trouble with the world is that it's always one drink behind. Acting is experience with something sweet behind it. It's been misspelt a lot. He decided on it. It's not Bog-ey. He signed with an -ie. And that's good enough for me. - [on Lauren Bacall ] "She's a real Joe. You'll fall in love with her like everybody else." [attributed last words] "I should never have switched from scotch to martinis." [on the House Un-American Activities Committee] "They'll nail anyone who ever scratched his ass during the National Anthem." I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum. Twenty years later Marlon Brando came out with only a sweatshirt and the town drooled over him. That shows how much Hollywood has progressed. A hotdog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.

When the heavy, full of crime and bitterness, grabs his wounds and talks about death and taxes in a husky voice, the audience is his and his alone. [about himself] "Democrat in politics, Episcopalian by upbringing, dissenter by disposition." I can't say I ever loved my mother, I admired her. I don't approve of the John Wayne s and the Gary Cooper s saying 'Shucks, I ain't no actor -- I'm just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant.' If they aren't actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked hard at it. The only good reason to have money is this: so that you can tell any SOB in the world to go to hell. I hate funerals. They aren't for the guy who's dead. They're for the guys who are left alive and enjoy mourning. The whole world is three drinks behind. If everybody in the world would take three drinks, we would have no trouble. Acting is like sex: you either do it and don't talk about it, or you talk about it and don't do it. That's why I'm always suspicious of people who talk too much about either.

The only thing you owe the public is a good performance. You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi. I made more lousy pictures than any actor in history. [on the untrained beefcake stars of the early 1950s, many of them picked up for screen tests from sidewalks and gas stations] "Shout 'gas' around the studios today, and half the young male stars will come running." Do I subscribe to the [ Laurence Olivier ] school of acting? Ah, nuts. I'm an actor. I just do what comes naturally. I don't hurt the industry. The industry hurts itself, by making so many lousy movies - as if General Motors deliberately put out a bad car. [on Ingrid Bergman ] "I didn't do anything I've never done before, but when the camera moves in on that Bergman face, and she's saying she loves you, it would make anybody feel romantic." [on Warner Brothers] This studio has more suspensions than the Golden Gate Bridge. [on Katharine Hepburn ] She talks at you as though you were a microphone. She lectured the hell out of me on temperance and the evils of drink.

She doesn't give a damn how she looks. I don't think she tries to be a character. I think she is one. [on Bette Davis ] Even when I was carrying a gun, she scared the be-jesus out of me. It is at least worth arguing that there is a modicum of the creative novelist in all of us, and that this absorption with how men get out of difficulties, single-handedly and alone if possible, is the stuff of which we weave the warp and woof of our own better dramatic imaginings. [while visiting the set of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)] This guy [ Marlon Brando ] - he'll be doing Hamlet when the rest of us are selling potatoes. [on publicity] As long as they spell your name right and you are not accused of dope or rape, you are all right. [on screen love] I have absolutely no interest in who gets the girl. I don't care. I don't see any reason to spend two hours to see who gets the girl especially since you know who's going to get her from the beginning - usually the actor who gets the most money. I'm not good-looking. I used to be but not any more.

Not like Robert Taylor . What I have got is I have character in my face. it's taken an awful lot of late nights and drinking to put it there. When I go to work in a picture, I say, 'Don't take the lines out of my face. Leave them there.' [on movie fan magazines] They are the damnedest bilge. They distort everything. I can't stand them. They build up an audience of people who read fan magazines. [on Katharine Hepburn , during the filming of The African Queen (1951) on location in the Congo] You could argue with her, but she was tough. When Jack [cinematographer Jack Cardiff ] saw her striding into the jungle alone one morning, he thought, "God help the jungle". [After viewing 'In Which We Serve' (1942)] Obviously, Noël Coward is the guy Orson Welles thinks he is. [on Academy Awards] The only honest way to find the best actor would be to let everybody play Hamlet and let the best man win. Of course, you'd get some pretty funny Hamlets that way.

[on working with Rod Steiger in The Harder They Fall (1956)] These Actor's Studio types - they mumble their lines. I can't hear their words. I miss the cues. This scratch-your-ass-and-mumble school of acting doesn't please me. [on the 1952 Oscars] I don't think I have a chance. For one thing, I don't have a big studio behind me to do the campaigning. And there are some pretty sharp boys in the race. I think Marlon Brando is one of the best young actors in the business, and I think he'll be great as soon as he gets that potato out of his mouth. I'm no Communist, just an American dope. The only point in making money is, you can tell some big shot where to go. A hot dog at the game beats roast beef at the Ritz. Salary (12)

Question: Which late actor said: The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind?
Answer: Humphrey Bogart
