Help AFI!

Posted by: Hammer / 3:38 PM

You're not really helping AFI, but I thought I'd give this a shot. The quarter-finalists in the AFI 100 greatest quotes in movies are available. Take the poll in the sidebar. If all goes well, we'll whittle AFI's top 400 down to a nice, manageable number.

Here's how AFI describes their poll:

AFI’s 100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes will reveal the 100 greatest movie quotes in American films, as chosen by leaders of the entertainment community, in a three-hour television event, that will air on the CBS Television Network in June 2005.

# Movie Quote - A statement, phrase or brief exchange of dialogue spoken in an American film. [AFI defined an American film as an English language motion picture with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States. Additionally, only Movie Quotes from feature-length American films released before January 1, 2004 were considered. AFI defined a feature-length film as a motion picture of narrative format that was typically over 60 minutes in length.]

# Cultural Impact - Movie Quotes that viewers used in their own lives and situations; circulating through popular culture, and becoming part of the national lexicon.

# Legacy - Movie Quotes that viewers used to evoke the memory of a treasured film, thus ensuring and enlivening its historical legacy.
