Someone posted a brilliant montage featuring all 100 quotes from AFI’s 100 Movie Quotes.
A lot of people ask me why it is I love film so much. As a child, I watched most of these iconic classics in a movie theater, thanks to the old Newark Drive-In, the U.A. State and the Loew’s Jersey, back when movie theaters screened both new and revival cinema regularly, without having to be some trendy destination. It was just good movies for all to enjoy. I don’t remember much from childhood, but I sure as hell remember those lines. It’s hard to believe we have entire generations of American kids missing out on appreciating classic films from the U.S. and abroad.
Anyway, enough ranting. CLICK HERE to watch the inspiring tribute.
