1. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” – Gone With the Wind, 1939
At the end of the film, Clark Gable’s character Rhett Butler is leaving his wife, Scarlett. Scarlett asks what she’ll do with herself after he leaves–his response is this famously harsh goodbye as he walks off into the night.
2. “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” – The Godfather, 1972
Don Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando, is assuring his godson Johnny that he’ll get him the movie role he’s after. When Johnny asks how he’ll persuade the director, Vito offers this as an explanation.
Fun fact: According to IMDB, this scene has been referenced up to 150 times in other media. Fittingly, Brando won an Oscar for this performance (although he declined it).
