The American Film Institute's list of the 100 best movie quotes, announced June 21 in a CBS special, included several memorable lines from popular SF&F films. The list was chosen through ballots sent to 1,500 filmmakers, actors, critics and others in Hollywood, the Associated Press reported.

Most prominent among SF&F films on the list was The Wizard of Oz, which contributed a total of three quotes, including the fourth-ranked "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." "There's no place like home" and "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too," made the list at number 23 and 99, respectively. Also making the top 10 at number eight was "May the Force be with you," from the Star Wars saga. "E.T. phone home," from Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, was number 15.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from the Terminator films had two quotes on the list: "I'll be back" (number 37) and "Hasta la vista, baby" (number 76). Charlton Heston also had choice quotes included from two of his most memorable roles. "Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" from 1968's Planet of the Apes was ranked at 66, while "Soylent Green is people!" from the 1973 film Soylent Green made the list at number 77.

The newest quote in the top 100 was "My precious," spoken by Andy Serkis as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, which was number 85. The oldest genre quotes both came from classic 1931 monster movies. "It's alive! It's alive!" from Frankenstein came in at 49, while the original Dracula made the list at 83 with "Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."

Super-spy James Bond had two entries on the list, both originally spoken by the first 007, Sean Connery: "Bond. James Bond" (number 22) from Dr. No and "A martini. Shaken, not stirred" (number 90) from Goldfinger. The most recent James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, hosted the AFI special.
