Best Movie Quotes- Contest Winners

Follow

Earlier this week I announced a fun little contest where you submitted your favorite movie quotes. The top 5 quotes win the new Lion King BluRay/DVD combo (I’ve been seeing this movie everywhere this week—Wal Mart, Costco, Best Buy. I already got mine… such a good film!)

Before I announce the winners, let me tell you, this wasn’t an easy choice. Soooooooooooo many of these were good quotes. It was hard choosing 5 winners. And my wife and daughters are really bummed that there aren’t any While You Were Sleeping quotes in the bunch (“Are you sure? Because it looks like he’s…leaning.”)

But here are the 5 that struck a chord with me upon first reading. I chose about 10 and my daughter Ashley (quite a movie buff) selected the 5 winners:

“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.” -Lloyd Dobler – Say Anything
Penny, parent in Lincoln, CA

“I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.” – Noah Calhoun – The Notebook
Randi Lynn – youth pastor with my husband in Des Moines, IA

“Do or do not. There is no try.” -Yoda –Star Wars
Tyler Rody, youth worker, Virden, MB

“Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way…turn.”  -Charles DeMar – Better Off Dead.
Adam, youth worker, Freehold, NJ

“How do you write women so well?”
“I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.” –Melvin –As Good As It Gets
Trisha, youth worker, Owensboro

Just so you know, we almost chose the Dr. Strangelove quote, the Remember the Titans quote, the My Blue Heaven quote and others. Tough choice.

Okay… if you’re a winner use the CONTACT US button on this blog to email me your mailing address and I’ll get this Lion King BluRay/DVD Combo in the mail to ya!
