Just for fun, the authors on one of the loops I'm on has been posting the first lines from their first books. It's been fun. Got me thinking about iconic lines from other books and commercials (Where's the beef?) and movies. And that got me surfing around the net for movie lines. I ran across some really fun ones that brought back memories and made me grin.
So, I thought we'd have a little fun here today. Below I've listed 23 of my favorites. Check them out and see if any of your favs are on the list. If not, tell us your best remembered line - be it from a book or a movie.
"I've always thought a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit you immensely. "
Now, just to make this a little more interesting, I've left off the title of the movie, who said it and the year of released. Want to see if you can remember? Care to guess? For those of you who don't like suspense, scroll down to the bottom of the list for a repeat complete with details. Have fun! Oh - and if you ARE guessing what movies these lines are fun, I'd be interested to know how many of them you got right. Nothing like a little early morning competition :o)
