6/12/2007 - 100 Movies, 100 Quotes, 100 Numbers

What appears to be a parody of the 100 Greatest ___ Movies lists by the American Film Institute turns out to be something great. What the creator of this video has done here is to compile clips of movies where a number between 1 and 100 is spoken and then orders it like an AFI countdown. It's hard to imagine that EVERY number has been spoken on film, but this video is the proof. For example, where would the number 73 possibly come in? It turns out Steve Martin references page 73 in the movie, "The Jerk".

It's quite impressive what has been done here. The clips that are shown are also perhaps the best clips possible of what movie quotes are out there for this purpose. A lot of these are actually famous scenes or quotes from good movies. And for the "number one" movie... well, it's really the only one that's fitting of this magnificent list.
