OT Greatest Single Lines From Movies

[hoophuskee]

I haven't seen the movie, but I enjoyed the book.

It was a fun movie. And in real Anthony Quinn and Anna Magnani hated each other. So any of the scenes that they fight, it's kind of real. They aren't acting!

I'm sure though that the book was much better as the usually are.

uggggh! this thread is about 'the greatest single lines" huh?

it's pathetic that so many of these selections are so far off that mark. some posters -- not all -- have come up wanting. it's a terrible blow to the BY reputation as a witty and insightful forum. YUK!

Over the Rainbow, I almost guessed it. Also thought it might be White Christmas too

Also voted the greatest song of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America. Important to remember that the movie came out during the Depression and it was set in Kansas in the Dust Bowl right next to the Okies of Grapes of Wrath fame. It is a song of hope that reverberated across America as people struggled to be able to survive.

The version of “Over the Rainbow” by Eva Cassidy is the best one I’ve ever heard- hauntingly, mesmerizingly beautiful

Yes, just listened to it. Really great. Also the version by "Iz" on the ukulele is terrific too. In the movie The Wizard of Oz, the first three stanzas of the original song are cut out. No to be denied, Lady Gaga sings them in the opening scene of "A Star is Born".
