TCM announces funny film line list
ATLANTA, (UPI) -- Quotes from Hollywood's "Some Like It Hot," "Airplane!" and "When Harry Met Sally" have made TCM's list of 10 Best Comedy Lines from Classic Movies.
Monday's unveiling of the roster is timed to coincide with the buildup to TCM's sister cable television network TBS and Just For Laughs' second annual comedy festival in Chicago, which runs Tuesday through Saturday.
"Great movie quotes frequently make their way into everyday conversation, and that is especially true for lines that make us laugh out loud," TCM host and film historian Robert Osborne said in a statement.
The network's choices are ranked in chronological order and goes as follows:
-- "It must have been hard on your mother, not having any children." -- Ginger Rogers, "42nd Street," 1933.
-- "You can't fool me! There ain't no sanity clause!" -- Chico Marx, "A Night at the Opera," 1935.
-- "What do they think I am? Dumb or something? Why, I make more money than -- than -- than Calvin Coolidge! Put together!" -- Jean Hagen, "Singin' in the Rain," 1952.
-- "Well, nobody's perfect!" -- Joe E. Brown, "Some Like It Hot," 1959.
-- "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room." -- Peter Sellers, "Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," 1964.
-- "Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government." -- Michael Palin, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," 1975.
-- "Over? Did you say 'over?' Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" -- John Belushi, "Animal House," 1978.
-- "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" -- Peter Graves, "Airplane!" 1980.
-- "It's good to be the king." -- Mel Brooks, "History of the World, Part I," 1981.
-- "I'll have what she's having." -- Estelle Reiner, "When Harry Met Sally..." 1989.
