Best Movie Quotes of All Time
Story by Claire Gillespie •

You’ll recognize these lines from famous movies — but do you remember who said them?

"Here’s looking at you, kid." "There’s no place like home." "Show me the money!"

Movie history is full of incredible one-liners that make us laugh or cry, or at the very least take us on a nostalgia trip.

We all have our favorite movie quote — here are some of the best.

'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.'
Movie: "Gone With the Wind"

Year of release: 1939

Who said it? Rhett Butler (Clark Gable)

Voted the number one movie line of all time by the American Film Institute in 2005, Butler’s closing remark to Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) is the ultimate farewell to a never-satisfied spouse.

But it very nearly didn’t make it into the film — it was almost cut because it contained "a vulgarism." Luckily, the movie got special dispensation to use "damn" (and also "hell") in specific situations.

'I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.'
Movie: "The Godfather"

Year of release: 1972

Who said it? Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando)

Probably the most famous line to leave the lips of a movie gangster, this one makes it into each of Francis Ford Coppola’s epic "Godfather" films in some way or another.

In the first installment, Corleone uses his clout to secure his godson Johnny Fontane (Al Martino) a role in a Hollywood movie.

'You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.'
Movie: "On the Waterfront"

Year of release: 1954

Who said it? Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando)

Brando won his first Oscar for his performance in "On the Waterfront."

His "I coulda been a contender" line is from a crucial scene, in which boxer Malloy is close to tears as he thinks about how different his life could have been if his brother hadn’t encouraged him to throw a fight.

'Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.'
Movie: "The Wizard of Oz"

Year of release: 1939

Who said it? Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland)

It’s often misquoted as "I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto" or "Looks like we’re not in Kansas anymore," but it doesn’t matter — everyone knows what it means.

And as one of the most famous movie quotes in film history, it’s become a common idiom used when someone finds themselves in a strange situation or unfamiliar place.

'Here's looking at you, kid.'

Movie: "Casablanca"

Year of release: 1942

Who said it? Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart)

Another iconic movie line that was almost never spoken, this was originally "Here’s good luck to you, kid."

Reportedly, Bogart changed the line after teaching Ingrid Bergman, who played Ilsa Lund (Rick’s former lover), how to play poker during filming.
