Quoth The Crime Dog, Evermore

The Crime Dog is a movie quotin' fool. So of course, when the American Film Institute aired it's "Top 100 Movie Quotes" last night, I was all over it. All were good selections, but it seemed as though half of them were from Casablanca. A large portion were from movies so old that everybody still upright probably only saw them on late-night TV when they were kids. The average age of AFI's Top 10 is - get this - 47 years. Throw out Travis Bickle, Luke Skywalker, and Dirty Harry, and these quotes are all collecting Social Security, wearing their pants up around their armpits, and showing up in Apache Junction every November.

Let's push these old farts out of the way and talk about some memorable movie quotes with grit, humor, and profanity profundity, from movies that were actually filmed in color and shown on the big screen when most of us were old enough to buy a ticket and walk through the door.

I'm just going to give you the quotes. It's up to you to name the movies. (No fair looking them up on the web, you have to just pluck 'em right out of your brain):

10) Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?

9) We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling Zip-a-dee-doo-da out of your assholes!

8) Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'.

7) YES! YES! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST... I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

6) From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a fucking boat.

5) The only true currency in this bankrupt world... is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

4) You might also ask yourself, 'why does this cinder block have a long piece of string tied to it? And finally, why is the other end of this string tied securely to your penis?

3) You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

2) Can you believe I fathered him with just one testicle?

1) Excuse me, while I whip this out.
