Frankly, my dear......
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Neither the Godfather nor 007 can top Rhett Butler when it comes to being the most quotable character in the movies.
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," the rakish Butler's famous line from the 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind," as spoken by Clark Gable, was named the most memorable movie quote in a poll by the American Film Institute.
Results were released on Tuesday in a television show that aired on the CBS network.
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" from 1972's "The Godfather" was No. 2, and Marlon Brando, who spoke those words, also claimed No. 3 with his line from 1954's "On the Waterfront:" "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."
What is your favorite line from a movie? What is the movie and who said it?

I can't really remember the exact words or the movie but here's the quote:
From kickboxin II:
"You should deal with dissapointment, it build character"
From Steven Seagal:
The bad guy was telling him in the movie that he was talking to the common people and the bad guy was more educated but then Seagal says,
"I guess, education doesn't buy you common sense".
Powerful stuff!
From the movie Michael: "I would like to see the world's largest ball of twine" I'm such a tourist when I go places I have to do all the corny stuff, so this quote fits me to a T!
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."
Bette Davis in "All About Eve"
