Lines from the movies

Whether it's James Bond, Clark Gable or Forrest Gump, it seems film quotes are a great conversation starter. The only problem is — once started, it's really hard to stop.

But whether it's an hour or an evening, UAE residents prove they too are inspired by the greatest spoken movie lines in history.

Following an article featuring a recent poll carried out by the American Film Institute listing the top 40 film quotes of 2005, the letters just haven't stopped flooding in.

The AFI reported "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" the famous line from Gone With the Wind as the most popular movie quote for 2005.

It seems everyone has an opinion and proves many just love to tell others about their favourite films, TV movies and quotations from the films.
