Looking for Some Funny Videos?

If you are, then read the following article and source for funny videos. Trust me, you'll want to take a look at this.

You know, I have found that what I consider funny videos today are not what I would have appreciated as funny ten years ago. I just found new movies to laugh out loud at recently that back then I might have found amusing or worth a chuckle. Age is not the factor I point to here in deciding what is funny. What is funny is subjective, and depends upon the mindset, upbringing, and overall experiences of each group or individual, so how about we consider a variety of funny videos in hopes that each of us will agree with at least one offering on the funny videos list?

WARNING: SOME SPOILERS MAY APPEAR BELOW

I won’t attempt to categorize them, so do pardon what will appear to be a mish mash of selections appealing to different and differing ages, cultures, ethnicities, subcultures, and the like (or unlike):

Eddie Murphy’s stand-up, Raw, has so many moments that if you can take your eyes off the colorful leather clenching his fine form long enough, you will be rolling.

If you grew up in (or, better yet, were a teenager in) the seventies, Mike Meyers’ Wayne’s World will have you sliding out of your seat in the theatre, embarrassing your friends with your identification with and surprise responses to Meyers clever manipulation of the just barely pre-mullet years.

Cary Grant in Monkey Business is an example of how our sense f humor changes. I never giggled and roared at Cary Grant’s movies before…but must be of an age where I appreciate his snide, sarcastic tongue. And in Monkey Business, he is almost slapstick funny—accidentally regressing on his own youth potion (to about the age of ten), coming upon his wife (who has also taken the formula by accident) talking on the phone to the boy down the street, Grant (also covered in paint from an earlier paint fight) clenches his fists, curls a pouty lip, and stamps both feet while gritting his teeth and tantruming. G’damned hysterical.

Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events is not, one thinks, in the funny videos aisle. But it is considered black comedy, as is one of the best in funny videos for 2005. Especially, the subscript or subtext for the baby, Sunny Baudelaire, is some of the wryest “dialogue” this decade. Sunny’s grunts, representative utterances, or one-word invectives translate logically at times, with her “Hewenkewer [Helen Keller]” denoting she wants to see, but more laughable, her gibberish speaking for all: She tosses out a baby sound at Count Olaf, and the subtitle reads, “What a schmuck!” When the baby with the signature biting fixation is told to bite the head off a bobble-head doll in the car, she utters a gurgled syllable and the baby subtext reads, “Love to!” Sunny, baby-talking in between bites of Count Olaf is translated as “Back off, parrot-face!” and “I’ll bite higher!” And my favorites are her baby burbles translated to “Look it up, bookworm,” and—in response to a loony toons Aunt Josephine about to take in the displaced siblings, who are confronted with her paranoia, obsessive and neurotic fictional tales: Sunny goos and gas and is translated as saying first, in a pejorative uh-oh way, “Someone’s been to crazy town,” and—when continues—“She’s the mayor of crazy town!”

Chris Farley, in The Best of Chris Farley. Though if you watch it knowing it hurt him to play the token fat characters, his hysterical Chippendale wannabe, his Earl “in a van by the river,” and his fat high school girl stuffing her face sets will break your heart at the same time as they have you rewinding to ace with laughs all over again.

If you can get one skit on video, it’s the Goat Boy, created by Jim Breuer on SNL. I was lucky enough to video tape it one night, and no matter who I play it for, we laugh over and over and over. Uncanny.

If you can get them on video or DVD, the stand-up performances of Ellen Degeneres, Paula Poundstone, and Margaret Smith will have you assigning signature bits to your own life, as will the video performances of Louie Anderson. Unforgettable.

As sick as it might be to assert, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is also a flick that will have you laughing inappropriately and often.

SNL—Saturday Night Live. The original cast (aka the original SNL players) leaves us humor that is immeasurably unparalleled.

One character skit set on Mad TV: Stuart. Absolutely the best in funny impressions—of a kid and a Midwestern mom. Michael McDonald and Mo Collins should have been on SNL.

Any Seinfeld episode, every Seinfeld episode. All are at the top of the funniest videos of all time. Period.

Almost every Woody Allen, save Interiors, will have the intellectuals popping stuffed shirt buttons with laughter they can’t help but bust into.

George Carlin, Bill Cosby, and Bill Murray. Their stand-up, their comedies, their funny videos, their TV series. Find them. Get them. Watch them again and again. There will be no more war if we all do this.

Some of us are just now growing into Cary Grant’s funny videos, unable to get over the flip, tongue-in-cheek, sardonic lines, delivered in deadpan tones unequalled by anything except his beauty, lines such as “Come in; I don’t bite, you know…unless it’s called for;” or, after Hildy says another man treats her like a woman: “What did I treat you like? A water buffalo?”

Others of us are still hooked on The Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplain, still others of us are re-playing the contemporary and brilliant gut-busters—The School of Rock and Shallow Hal; American Pie (the first one only), There’s Something about Mary [only the uncensored version—useless with the censoring], Meet the Fokkers, Fargo (dark), Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (with Wilder)

But regardless of subjective tastes, all of the above are clear contenders for the top 100 funniest, drollest, wryest, sickest works of all time.

There's different types of funny videos, but the one's mentioned above should prove acceptable to most people. Now go ahead and start watching them for some major laughs!

Is there Really Free Satellite TV?

Looking for free satellite tv? Well, before you get your hopes up, you'd better read the following article.

Free satellite tv is not really free – never is it really free. According to one source, it is among the biggest myths and legends on the internet. When they say “free satellite tv”, they don't mean free satellite tv, they mean free satellite television setup. This means that they will come to your house, install free satellite tv equipment, such as a tv dish, and all of the wiring that you need to carry satellite televison around your house to all of your various rooms, and then you have to pay something like $20 a month for even the most basic service. More services will cost more.

One thing that is sometimes free with free satellite tv is the first month or two of viewing. They do this to lure you in and to stop you from using other peoples satellite televison services, so that you will get theirs installed right away. Sometimes they will even say that their so called free satellite tv is for a limited time only, so that if you look at their ad, you will think that you have to jump right on it immediately, or miss out on the deal of your life time. Next time you see an ad like this on the internet, book mark it and forget about it for a month or so. Then come back to it and check on it. Chances are the ad for free satellite tv or some other special product which was supposed to be for only a short while and then go away, is still there.

"One thing that is sometimes free with free satellite tv is the first month or two of viewing. They do this to lure you in and to stop you from using other peoples satellite televison services, so that you will get theirs installed right away."

Near where I live, there is a store just like that. It is a mattress and futon store and all over the front is painted with signs saying things like “closeout sale” or “up to 79% off” as if the sale is going on right now, and you better buy your mattress or futon before they are all gone. But then, if you actually go inside the store, or even look more closely at the outside, you discover that the signs of this supposedly short term and urgent sale are actaully permanently painted on the front of the store, and there is no short term sale. So, if you want satellite television, that's great because of all of the channels, and features, but don't expect to be getting free satellite tv. As they always say, there is no such thing as a free meal.

Well, I hope that cleared some things up about free satellite tv. When it doubt, there's never a free lunch.

Getting Into the Film Industry

Most people at some point in time have dreamed of being a movie star. The problem is, how do you get into something so competitive? The article below discusses the film industry, why it's so popular, and some tips for getting in.

We all love entertainment. It's that relaxing break from the norm. The film industries provide us with a certain escapism, which allows us to be someone else for 90 minutes, or just leap out of our mundane lives. While the film industries may be a wonderful part of our culture, they are not so easy to excel in. Breaking into the film business can be an up-hill battle not fully understood until you give it a try. For some odd reason, your connections seem to take precedence over all.

The film industries have been around for the last century. The magic of movie making leaves us all in awe. Today there are a number of schools you can attend to better your chances of penetrating the Hollywood wall, but be ready for some competition. If you take a look at L.A., you may wonder why so many young people are flocking there. They all want that big break in the film industry. They want to be stars. A close friend of mine headed to L.A. just for that reason. When he called me a few months later, he said that everyone he would encounter that bartended or waited tables, was there for the same reason. The competition is unbelievable. Although this is the case, the film industries always have room for more talent. Granted, if you have family in the business, you are certainly better off. Hollywood is a connections game. Who you know, can make your career. When I say this, I don't mean that you do not need talent. I simply mean that your talent can be more easily recognized with the right connections.

"Today there are a number of schools you can attend to better your chances of penetrating the Hollywood wall, but be ready for some competition."

Film schools are located all over the U.S., just waiting for that new talent to come through. We all have to start somewhere. If film is your forte, try attending a film school or getting a film minor from your University, if offered. This way you can get a better grasp of the film industry before tackling it in the real world. When I decided I wanted to write movies, my first thought was to learn how. Achieve that necessary talent in order to vi with the many other aspiring screenwriters. This is no easy business. There is competition galore. I recall the reality check I got in my first screenwriting course. My professor told us that 100,000 screenplays are written every year. Wow, what a downer! Regardless, you must move on and strive for your place in the film industry. You will never know if you don't try. With the information and schooling available at your fingertips, you can easily hop online and get started.

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this interesting article and found it helpful. Getting into the film industry may be hard, but with the right schooling and drive, you too can become a movie star.

DVD Rental Options in Stores and Online

Let's face it. Going to the movies is expensive, often reaching near $10 a ticket at many theaters. So, the best alternative might be to just wait and rent movies. Read the article below to find out about the advantages of renting movies, especially through online stores.

I’ve always loved going to the movies. Our local movie theatre was a popular hangout, especially when I was in middle school. Every Friday night our parents would dump us off at the theatre where we’d buy popcorn and sodas and gossip during the movie, crunching our feet on the sticky floors and rocking back and forth in the squeaky seats. Though it smelled a little musty, the movie theatre was the scene of a lot of adolescent firsts; first dates, first kisses, first breakups, first fights. My first date was at the theatre in the sixth grade; my dad sat in the row behind us in the theatre. I can’t quite remember what the movie was, since I really wasn’t paying much attention.

It’s tough to go to the movies for $2 anymore. Though if you look you can still find a few budget theatres, they’re few and far between. When I got to college I couldn’t afford going to the movies every weekend, so I started watching movies at home. DVD rental stores are more popular than ever, and their selections are better than most of the films showing in the theatre these days anyway. They’re also a lot cheaper, a blessing for a poor college student.

Netflix, a by-mail DVD rental company, will send you as many DVDs you can watch in a month. They are the pioneers of DVD rental by mail, and for a $20/month subscription fee you can compile a list of DVDs you want sent to your home. They’ll send them in batches, and when you’re done watching the DVDs you can mail them back in the supplied envelopes. When Netflix receives your DVDs they’ll send out the next few on your list, letting you order the DVDs by phone or online. Blockbuster, a longtime leader in both VHS and DVD rental, picked up on Netflix’s lead and now offers a similar program, allowing you to either order their DVDs through the mail or to pick them up in their brick and mortar stores; as many as you want for a monthly fee.

"DVD rental stores are more popular than ever, and their selections are better than most of the films showing in the theatre these days anyway. They’re also a lot cheaper, a blessing for a poor college student."


Though I miss my local movie theatre, it’s tough to beat the current DVD rental options. I can watch more movies for less money than the cheap seats, and I can even have the movies delivered to my home. If only I had a bigger TV and a stickier floor I could edge out the local theatre in every respect.

DVD rental is the way to go for many people. To make it the ultimate choice, all you have to do now is go and buy a plasma tv and surround sound system.

Using Closed Circuit Television

Many businesses and buildings require and need closed circuit television to help keep serveillance on their premises. This in turn will help prevent theft and protect the people in the building. In the article below, you'll find out how this works, why you should use it, and where you can find services to install these systems.

If you’ve been in the security department of any hospital, hotel, casino or even mall, you might have noticed an array of television screens stacked from top to bottom showing various locations of the premises. Although you may not have realized it at that time, you were witnessing what has come to be known as closed circuit television. Closed circuit television, as the name suggests is a broadcasting system that is closed, or open only to those with the authority to access it. It is a surveillance system that is used in places where the security officers need to monitor the action of people in the premises or even to keep watch over the area. Most malls have a closed circuit television system to monitor the activities of the shoppers and to track and identify shoplifters. Hotels have it too to keep an eye on the security and safety of their guests. Casinos use closed circuit television to identify people who may be using underhand methods or sleight of hand to increase their chances of winning. And hospitals and research facilities use closed circuit television to monitor various areas, patients and even to track doctors.

Basically any area that needs to be monitored discretely uses closed circuit television as the medium of choice. Unlike broadcast television, closed circuit television primarily serves as a surveillance medium. This is how it was envisaged and it has proven very effective in providing round the clock surveillance that regular manpower is either incapable or providing or proves too costly to use effectively. Another advantage of closed circuit television as a surveillance methodology is that the eye of the camera catches everything and misses nothing. While a human being on the surveillance job may be distracted, may fall asleep or even be occupied with something else, a close circuit television system is on the job, with full focus and concentration 24/7. But the biggest advantage closed circuit television has over conventional surveillance methods is that everything that is seen, is recorded. And this proves to be invaluable when a crime has been committed and evidence is needed.

"It [closed circuit television] is a surveillance system that is used in places where the security officers need to monitor the action of people in the premises or even to keep watch over the area."

Which is one reason why most corporate entities and even private individuals use closed circuit television surveillance methods to protect themselves, their assets and their privacy from prying eyes. While it may sound ironical that a closed circuit television is being used to ensure privacy, it is something that most celebrities have resorted to nowadays. And the business of closed circuit television is bigger than one would imagine. Nearly all the manufacturers of regular broadcast and consumer audio visual equipment have a line of closed circuit television products. Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and other such reputed names offer an entire range of closed circuit television equipment. And contrary to popular belief, closed circuit television is not just a regular television set stacked one on top of the other. It is an intricate network of cameras, audio equipment, wired and wireless connectors and display systems that come together to provide the finest surveillance system known and used today.

As you can see, closed circuit television has a lot to offer your business and building. The intricate network of cameras, wires, and televisions ensure that your entire building well be watched over. It is best to hire a company to install such systems so that you can be assured they'll work properly.

Can Carnival Games be Won?

We've all been to fairs. And at these fairs are the infamous carnival games. I'm sure most of you have played them as well. As you may have noticed, they are pretty hard to win, but is it impossible? Is it even worth it to even try to play? The story below outlines these questions in story format. You be the judge.

When I was a kid the carnival would come to town once a year. It would set up in the little park by the river, and on one very special day all of the weird looking carnie campers would roll into town and park by the river. Greasy old men would emerge and start cobbling together rickety looking rides and dingy games. All of the kids would get excited though, hanging out near the fringes of the park and watching the entire thing get set up. Finally the weekend would roll around and we’d persuade our parents to let us go to the carnival alone, mainly to check things out and try to talk to girls.

"On the few occasions when we did win something it would end up to be tiny and we’d pay $4 for a $.50 squirt gun."

We’d eventually ride some of the rickety rides which would try to loosen up all of the cotton candy we’d invariably just eaten, but the carnival rides weren’t very scary. It was the carnival games that were scary. You could try to avoid the gauntlet of carnival games, but eventually you’d have to walk through it and get leered and jeered by all of the carnies in the booths. “Come try your luck! Everybody’s a winner! Look how easy it is just there!” All of the carnival games were deceptively simple, and eventually we were all talked into giving them a try to win a gargantuan stuffed animal or a bike. We lost, of course, since the things were nearly impossible. It was a hard lesson to learn though, since year after year we lost our money in the carnival games and had nothing to show for it. On the few occasions when we did win something it would end up to be tiny and we’d pay $4 for a $.50 squirt gun. Eventually I ended up avoiding the murderer’s row of carnival games altogether, feeling uncomfortable ignoring the yells of the carnies but not wanting to lose any more money.

Now that I’m a little older and (hopefully) wiser I’ve realized that most of the carnival games, if not unwinnable, are pretty close to it. For example, the basketball-shooting games are usually played with over inflated balls and small or oval rims, so if you want a shot you need to shoot with a high arc and drop the ball into the hoop without hitting the backboard or the rim. If you’re trying the BB-Gun, shoot-out-the-star game, good luck, since it’s one of the hardest on the midway. You may have a chance with the balloon-popping darts, though the darts are dull and the balloons under inflated. Shoot for the balloons near the edges and you’ve got the best odds out of any carnival games on the midway.

Well, I hope that you got a little wiser when it comes to carnival games. Perhaps next time you go to the fair, you'll be more inclined to watch...but they so fun, aren't they?

Why to Get Card Game Downloads

Card games, whether they're on the computer or not, are some of the simplest, cheapest, and easiest ways to have fun. Playing them on your computer is the perfect way to take advantage of computer controlled opponents. If you're looking for card game downloads, then you'd better read the following article.

When you purchase a new PC or laptop complete with an operating system installed, you'll notice that you get a few free games, including solitaire, as part of the package. As you know, solitaire is nothing fancy -- but it can still be fun and is a great way to pass the time while traveling on a plane, while waiting for a phone call, or while waiting for your favorite TV show to start.

As enjoyable as basic solitaire is, however, it does get to be boring after a while. In order to add a bit of variety to your computer entertainment library, you should check out some card game downloads that are available from the Internet. You can get a wide variety of games, such as: many different versions of solitaire, spades, hearts, canasta, euchre, pinochle, blackjack, poker, and a bunch of others. There are also a lot of original card game downloads that you can try. By "original" I simply mean they're non-standard games that someone else has made up. For example, there are horse racing, puzzle, golf, and UFO card-based games out there that have their own rules and everything.

"Why is a good idea to search for card game downloads rather than just play the games online? Well, for one thing, having the games on your computer means that you don't actually have to be connected to the Internet to play."

Almost all of the online card game downloads that I've mentioned above are absolutely free, so you can sample as many as you want without worrying about having to pay a dime. Then you can just keep the ones you like and delete the ones you don't care for.

Why is a good idea to search for card game downloads rather than just play the games online? Well, for one thing, having the games on your computer means that you don't actually have to be connected to the Internet to play. That can save you money, especially if you don't have an unlimited access plan from your provider. Another reason is that the games are likely to run more quickly and smoothly when they're already on your hard drive. This is particularly true if you connect to the Internet via a dial-up modem. And finally, card game downloads are a good idea because you can take them with you. If you frequently travel with your laptop, then you'll be able to play the games while you're at the airport or your hotel without having to worry about finding an Internet connection. It might not sound like much now, but when you're on the road, you'll really appreciate having something interesting to do.

So the next time you have a few minutes to spare, download your favorite card game to your computer. Then you'll always have a fun activity right at your fingertips.

All right, so you want to download some card games right? I hope you do, after reading that enlightening article. There are a lot of places to get card game downloads, so just look around a bit.

Why You Should Get Cable Television

Are you looking to acquire cable television? There are so many benefits to it over traditional tv that it's no wonder you're looking into it. The following article highlights the advantages of cable television and gives you an in-depth look into the technology.

Cable television is pretty much the standard of television use today. Although there are still a number of basic channels that are broadcast by radio waves in through the air, the number of channels available in this manner has remained the same since the 1940’s. Put simply, there just isn’t enough space in the electromagnetic spectrum to provide for a lot of different television channels. Each television channel transmitted by air takes up the same amount of space as many dozens of radio stations.

With cable television, the limitation is the number of different frequencies that can be transmitted through a single coaxial cable. Transmitting frequencies of television by way of a cable generally provides a lot more space, which has led to a tremendous increase in the number of available channels. Even better, cable television is usually received a lot better than traditional air broadcast television. If you’ve ever owned a TV that did not have cable, you’re probably familiar with doing the rabbit ears antennae dance trying to get some decent picture quality. You don’t have do that anymore with cable TV.

Cable television costs more, as you have to subscribe for it through a local cable provider, but if you watch TV with any regularity you’ll probably find the extra fee well worth it. I’ve been a subscriber to cable television now for almost twenty years, and I’ll never go back to the rabbit ears. Over the years, the way in which the frequencies are transmitted through the cables has gotten more efficient, and more channels have opened up. Instead of getting seven or eight barely recognizable images like you do with air broadcast TV, you get upwards to seventy or more crystal clear channels with cable TV, depending on where you live and who your cable provider is.

"Even better, cable television is usually received a lot better than traditional air broadcast television. If you’ve ever owned a TV that did not have cable, you’re probably familiar with doing the rabbit ears antennae dance trying to get some decent picture quality."

Cable television may have been the standard for some years now, and may still be today, but it’s probably going to give way to digital television soon. Digital TV opens the possibility for hundreds of channels, with even better picture quality than traditional cable TV. The good news is digital TV is transmitted by the same sorts of cables that bring you cable television today. Digital TV is still in its infancy, and isn’t available everywhere, but cable television is pretty much everywhere in the United States, Canada, Europe, East Asia, and is in most of Australia, South America, and parts of the Middle East.

Well, I hope you got a little better idea as to what cable television has to offer you. The increased channels and variety of tv shows will certainly enhance your tv watching experience.

Some of the Best Movie Quotes

Looking for the best movie quotes of all time? Well, below is a list compiled for the year of 2006, so you won't find all your favorite movie quotes here. But, you'll want to read it because it gives you some pretty good quotes. Plus, you'll find resources for other sites that have movie quotes.

The best of the best movie lines are compiled often and by many. So though I am by no means a movie aficionado (though I watch more than the average person), I present the 2006 best of the best movie lines as I deem them. Here they are, in no particular order, though I have numbered them for the purposes of listing:

1. "If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day."

Laurence Olivier’s Heathcliff says this to Catherine in Wuthering Heights.

2. “I am not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love. That is all. But I love strongly, exclusively and steadfastly.”

Judy Davis’s character, writer George Sand says this to Hugh Grant’s Chopin in one of the best movies ever made, Impromptu.

3. “Uh. Oh. V-E-R-N! V-E-R-N!” “Course, ten minutes to Wapner.” “Course, Dad lets me drive on the driveway….” Course, I get my underwear at K-Mart.” “She’s [the casino prostitute’s] very sparkly.” In response to his first kiss and being asked how it was: “Wet.”

All of the above delivered by the master, Dustin Hoffmann, as the greatest character of all time, Rainman—Raymond Babbit.

4. “I'm no friggin' monument to justice! I lost my hand! I lost my bride! Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!”

Said by the genius Nic Cage, playing wooden-handed Johnny Cammareri in Moonstruck.

5. [After Johnny (who has just made love to his brother’s fiancé) says “I love you” to her, she slaps his face] “Snap out of it!”

The wonderful Cher, as Loretta Castorini in Moonstruck.

6. [As Lynnard Skynnard’s “Sweet Home Alabama” plays while cons take over plane]: “Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.”

Spoken by Steve Buscemi’s character, Garland Greene, in Con Air.

7. “Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours.”

Cage’s smarmy Castor Troy says this in Face/Off.

8. [To girlfriend, Lula, played by Laura Dern] “The way your head works is God's own private mystery.”

Cage’s Sailor Ripley, in Wild at Heart.

9. And from the second greatest movie of all time (in my lofty opinion), Mad Max: Road Warrior, come two best of the best movie lines (or snippets of dialogue):

“I got it!” [The Gyro Captain, jumping to catch a deadly incoming boomerang, a murder weapon used by the grunty little Feral Kid]

“My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos. Ruined dreams. This wasted land. But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior. The man we called "Max". To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time. When the world was powered by the black fuel. And the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel, they were nothing. They built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed. Men like Max. The warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything. And became a shell of a man, a burnt out, desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, a man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again....” [Narrator of Mad Max: Road Warrior]





My nods of course go to AFI (American Film Institute), as they have their own list of best of the best movie lines; and I acknowledge the critics and true film experts and professionals who also have their lists of the best of the best movie lines, the top ten movie lines, or the top 100 movie quotes.

But these organizations have already established that on the lists-- living forever, in perpetuity--are such lines as Clark Gable/Rhett Butler’s “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn,” or Mae West’s “It’s not the life in my men, it’s the men in my life,” or Robert Deniro/Travis Bickle’s “You talkin’ to me?” soliloquy.

So I thought it fun to give a heads up to the marginalized lines that have just as much power, make just as great an impact on us movie fanatics.

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading all these darn good movie lines and quotes! They were sure to offer you some pretty good lines to use for yourself if you ever needed them! Thanks for reading this article!
