About the sequel, "Frankly, dear, I didn't give a damn."
Actually, the book, "Scarlett" was mmm....pretty good. But you're right, the TV movie was a bomb (in the bad sense of the word).
However, I liked the idea of Scarlett and Rhett being reunited.
I think they deserved each other, 'cause Rhett was way too noble and Scarlett was way to ignoble. Reads like the perfect mating.
Hee! Actually, Lightwizard, if you read the sequel "Scarlett" she does some considerable growing up before Rhett takes her back -- by that time she seems to be far more "worthy" of him.
I don't know if that was really reflected in the TV movie though -- I turned it off about half way through coz' I coundn't take it anymore!
Did the Green Giant try to can it?
If they froze it, I wouldn't thaw it out.
Back to the quotes:
"She has the emotional maturity of Zelda Fitzgerald."
Woody Allen/Manhattan

I like the idea of them being reunited as well, but I didn't think the sequel was that great...nothing like the original.
And by the way, the title of this thread is the best ending quote of a movie!
Curious as to where you got the notion that the thread was "best ending quote." "Frankly, My Dear, I don't give a damn" isn't the ending quote of GWTW, it's "After all, tomorrow is a another day."
This is Phoenix's original post as a topic:
There are some lines that originated in film that have become an integral part of the repetoire of English speaking persons. Some of them are so familiar, that younger persons, who have never seen the film, don't even realize that it is a quotation.
What are YOUR favorite lines from films that have become part of everyday language?
that's right! my bad. I completely forgot about that line...I guess I think that it should have ended after Rhett's comment
It didn't end in the book with that line either.
Welcome to A2K and the film forum, Jonsey. Just be on-you-toes here as there are several movie buffs who will recgonize errors in a flash.
I once stated the Woody Allen used the facade of the Del Coronado Hotel in San Diego (also used in the entire finale of "Some Like It Hot") in his movie "Stardust Ballroom" and was immediately challanged that Woody never filmed outside of New York City. I researched it and, sure enough, stock shots of the facades of the Del Coronado were included in the film as the hotel where the film festival was taking place. Woody didn't go to California to personally film them and any notion that he is never left NYC is, of course, absurd.
haha, well thanks for the pointer...I'll be more careful from now on. I actually love the book and movie, but I just completely forgot about the last line
Yes, the camera withdraws from Scarlett on the hill with a sunrise behind her and the closing bars of the soundtrack. The movie is still overblown cinematic pathos but there is an affectionate sentimentality towards its epic soap opera nature.
(The dialogue is as corny as Kansas in August).

Surely you mean Nebraska?
Not in the song from "South Pacific."
haha...that's a good analogy!
Perhaps as much a double entendre and thanks.
