Ramblings on Oscars and Top Movie Quotes

Being such a movie buff, I think it's high time I write something about movies. I watched Oscars last night and now a few random impressions:

• Ellen DeGeneres was awesome as the Oscar host. I always liked her. Her style and humor was very refreshing right from the monologue till the end.
• I jumped with joy when the Best Director Award went to Martin Scorsese. I loved his movies, especially "TheDeparted" and I am very glad that he finally got the Oscar after three decades and 6 nominations.
• It's sad to see Peter O'Toole not wining the Oscar again after being nominated for the 8th time.
• I wonder when a Indian film will get an Oscar.
• "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Little Miss Sunshine" got the recognition they deserved.
• It's funny that the king (Then Last King of Scotland) and the Queen won the Oscars for the best Actor and Actress.

I was having this discussion with my friend about the Top Movie Quotes of all time and these will be my picks: (not in that order)

1. The Departed
Frank Costello: When I was your age they used to say you could become cops or criminals. What I'm saying to you is this...When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?
2. The Godfather
Don Corleone: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.
3. As Good As It Gets
Carol Connelly: When I first saw you, I thought you were handsome. Then, of course, you spoke.
4. Serendipity
Dean: You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?".
Dean: ...if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny.
5. Rudy
Father Cavanaugh: Son, in 35 years of religious study, I have only come up with two hard incontrovertible facts: there is a God, and I'm not Him.
6. Notting Hill

7. Jerry Maquire
Dorothy Boyd: I love him! I love him for the man he wants to be. And I love him for the man he almost is.
Jerry Maquire: I love you. You... complete me.
8. The Shawshank Redemption
Red: ..I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.
9. The American President
President Andrew Shepherd:..I've loved two women in my life. I lost one to cancer, and I lost the other 'cause I was so busy keeping my job I forgot to do my job. Well, that ends right now....If you want to talk about character and American values, fine. Just tell me where and when, and I'll show up. This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I am the President.
10. Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump: My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
Forrest Gump: (referring to Apple Computers) He got me invested in some kinda fruit company.

There are many more memorable movie quotes, but only these came to my mind first.
