It is a really simple thing that gives a lot of pleasure to those of us crazy about movies. Film or movie quotes might be that one line dialog or two in an entire movie.  But, just like a good scene, a memorable one-liner in a movie stays on.

Some famous movie quotes even become part of street speak ("Go ahead; make my day" - Dirty Harry).  Some are so natural that we don't even realize that they actually came from a movie ("There's no place like home" - The Wizard of Oz). Some become clichés ("That's classified. If I tell you I'll have to kill you" "“ Top Gun), and some become folklore ("May the Force be with you" "“ Star Wars IV).

If you are a film buff you have lots of places to revisit and relive them. Sandwiched between a search engine and an encyclopedic site like IMDB are these ten that are only about famous movie quotes.
