Often Imitated Never Duplicated
Over the weekend, “The Wizard Of Oz” was on television. I had a good time watching the film, as it had been a long time. I’ll tell you what, the sets are much more fake looking when you are older. Oh well, great movie.
But after watching that film again, I added one more phrase to my “Movie Phrases That Are Often Quoted But Never Done Well” list. As you would expect, the list is quotes from movies that people always recognize, but not because they sound similar to the original. My List so far:
- “Say hello to my little friend!” -Scarface
- “AHHHHHHHHHH!!!” -Kevin from Home Alone putting on after shave
- “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!” -the Wicked Witch of The West from The Wizard Of Oz
- “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die.” -Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
I will add to this list as necessary.
