'Bond, James Bond' - that immortal line from the super-cool secret agent has officially gone down in the record books as the top film quote of all time. First spoken by Sean Connery in his debut Bond adventure Dr No in 1962, these priceless 007 pearls, beat off one-liners from Mae West, Humphrey Bogart and Robert De Niro in the list drawn up by film boffins. The top ten of the most memorable comments from 71 years of moving pictures was compiled by a panel of ten critics to tie in with the publication of the new Guinness Book Of Film which outlines 1,000 great movies. The panel appeared to stick to the theory that 'the old ones are the best' with six of the 10 drawn from the first 15 years of talkies. Beyond that there is only one taken from each of the more recent decades: the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Here's the full list: 1. 'Bond, James Bond' - Sean Connery, Dr No (1962). 2. 'Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine' - Humphrey Bogart, Casablanca (1942). 3. 'It's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men' - Mae West, I'm No Angel (1933) 4. 'I'll be back' - Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator (1984). 5. 'Would you be shocked if I changed into something more comfortable?' - Jean Harlow, Hell's Angels (1930). 6. 'Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get' - Tom Hanks , Forrest Gump (1994). 7. 'I could dance with you 'til the cows come home. On second thoughts, I'd rather dance with the cows 'til you came home' - Groucho Marx, Duck Soup (1933). 8. 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn' - Clark Gable, Gone With The Wind (1939). 9. 'You talkin' to me?' - Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver (1976). 10. 'Gimme a visky with ginger ale on the side - and don't be stinchy, beby.' Greta Garbo, Anna Christie (1930).
