Got a minute? Want to try the online version of Empire's spine messages? We'll give you a movie quote and then you tell us which movie it came from. OK? 'I want him to know the sneaky, subtle, important reason he was born a human - and not a chair.'* Figured it out yet? Well, according to Entertainment Weekly - it's one of the best movie lines of the sixties and better than the likes of 'Mrs Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?' and 'Mr President, I'm not saying we woudn't get our hair mussed, but I do say not more than ten or twenty million killed tops.' The magazine, which has just published what in its considered opinion are the best movie quotes of the last 50 years, has guaranteed to infuriate populists by missing out such 'classics' as 'I'll Be Back' and 'The name's Bond, James Bond.' The top ten quotes from the 1990's were as follows: 1. A. Always. B. Be. C. Closing. Always Be Closing. *Alec Baldwin: Glengarry Glen Ross * 2. The human head weighs eight pounds. Jonathan Lipkicki: Jerry Maguire 3.I'm funny, how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? Joe Pesci: Good Fellas 4. I've killed...just about anything that walked or crawled at one time or another. and I'm here to kill you, Little Bill. Clint Eastwood: Unforgiven 5. I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. Frances McDormand: Fargo 6. What do you give a wife who has everything? An injection of insulin. Jeremy Irons: Reversal of Fortune 7. You'll meet someone. Someone...special. Someone who won't press charges. Raul Julia: Addams Family 8. Let justice be done tho the heavens fall. Kevin Costner, JFK 9. Oh and Senator? Just one more thing: Love your suit. Anthony Hopkins: Silence of the Lambs 10. You shoot off a guy's head with his pants down, believe me, Texas is not the place you want to get caught. Susan Sarandon: Thelma and Louise. If you think Entertainment Weekly made a good fist of it, then good for you. If not, why not email us at Empire Online and tell us what you think should have made the 1990s Top 10. * Jason Robards in A Thousand Clowns.
