Ποια να είναι άραγε η καλύτερη ατάκα από ταινία που ακούστηκε ποτέ στον κινηματογράφο; Το Αμερικανικό Ινστιτούτο Κινηματογράφου (AFI) απάντησε ξεκάθαρα σε αυτή την ερώτηση το 2005, όταν δημοσίευσε τη λίστα με τις 100 κορυφαίες κινηματογραφικές ατάκες. Μέσα σε αυτή βλέπουμε κλασικές φράσεις όπως το θρυλικό "Bond, James Bond" αλλά και τη σοφία του Forrest Gump για το κουτί με τα σοκολατάκια (ναι, υπάρχει παρακάτω).
Παρόλα αυτά, καμία από αυτές τις διάσημες κινηματογραφικές ατάκες δεν κατάφερε να πιάσει την κορυφή.
Το AFI εξετάζει αποκλειστικά παραγωγές του αμερικανικού κινηματογράφου, οπότε μην ψάχνεις για ξενόγλωσσα διαμάντια στη λίστα. Στην κορυφή της, βρίσκεται το "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" (μτφρ Ειλικρινά, αγαπητή μου, δε δίνω δεκάρα). Πρόκειται για μία φράση που εκτόξευσε με το απαράμιλλο ύφος του ο Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) στο "Όσα παίρνει ο άνεμος" του 1939.
Όσο για τη δεύτερη θέση; Πρόκειται επίσης για μια ατάκα που έχει περάσει στη λαϊκή κουλτούρα. Έρχεται από τον The Godfather και έχει γίνει πλέον παροιμιώδης. Θες να μάθεις ποια είναι; Ρίξε μια ματιά στη λίστα για να τη βρεις.
