CinemaBlend: "As good a paper as it is, the New York Times is no stranger to puffy trend pieces they write just to get page views-- and the one they posted yesterday in the movie section was a doozy even by their standards. "Have we heard the last (truly memorable) word from Hollywood?" ponders Michael Cieply in his piece, wistfully titled "Longing for the Lines That Had Us at Hello." It's more than just some paean to movies from the days when the bulk of the Times readership was young, but an argument that in the last decade specifically, there haven't been nearly as many movie lines worth quoting. "
Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
What Jennifer Did Review: Documentary navigates twists and turns of the story really well.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Some of them made me laugh, but I'm not sure if its the best quotes to be using. The Fight Club one was great, but otherwise they are not really that iconic. You could even pull better quotes from the same movies, especially Pirates.
Yeah that New York Times article is a bunch of crap. There are several movies out with memorable lines that come out almost every year. Hell, you can't watch a YouTube video anymore without someone yelling "This is Sparta!" somewhere. My guess is they were just trying to pull in views by picking something cheap like that to write about. I don't think CinemaBlend gave the best examples (some were pretty good though), their point is still well made.
I'm going to throw this out there, even though I'm sure several will lambast me for it. Whether you liked them or not, the Star Wars prequels have tons of quotable lines.
I remember at one point a few years ago, an article came out in Entertainment mag, saying that Episode 1 was one of the most quoted movies ever according to a recent poll. And they do have some really good quotes in there. Like all of Yoda's Fear is the path to the darkside spiel.
No one quotes Mean Girls. Ever.
