In 2006, Reel Life Wisdom posted its first set of Top Ten Movie Quotes of the Year. The TOP TEN Smartest Movie Quotes, TOP TEN Funniest Movie Quotes, and TOP TEN Guilty Pleasure Movie Quotes from 2006 films were identified. In January 2008, we will again be identifying the best quotes of the year from Hollywood screenwriters. Check out these 2007 quotes and others from films not listed here and submit your nominations anytime in the month of December.
Throughout the year, Reel Life visitors have submitted quotes they enjoyed in 2007. Whereas it appears this year is rich with intelligent writing, it has not been a banner year for humor. We are hoping our readers can help us out by pointing us to great comedy writing in film.
Here are some of the quotes submitted by our readers from 2007 films:
