I know most of these so well that I could actually hear the way they said them as I read this. Man, I've seen a lot of movies! My favorite is the Bombshell quote; Harlow's delivery was amazing in that flick.
great list! I think the Barbara Stanwyck ones are my favorites.. there are so many quotable lines in Meet John Doe and Christmas in Connecticut!
