Famous Movie Misquotes
You may be surprised to learn that those famous movie quotes you hear, like "Beam me up Scotty", may never have been spoken by the character to whom it is attributed.
Granted, some of the famous misquotes you are about to see are not too far off from the original quote, and you may say that I'm just "picking a nit", but if your going to quote a line, then quote it. Or at least know that you are quoting a misquote. Hmmm?
So here I give you my favorite top 10 movie misquotes. Enjoy...
Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Rated to be the Most Misquoted Movie Line Ever
At the top of the top ten movie misquotes, we have,
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Star Trek
Star Trek By Gene RoddenberryMisquote: "Beam me up, Scotty!"
Via Wikipedia: Captain Kirk comes closest to saying the phrase in the Original Series episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion", by saying, "Scotty, beam us up"; in the animated episodes "The Lorelei Signal" and "The Infinite Vulcan", when he said, "Beam us up, Scotty"; in Star Trek IV, saying, "Scotty, beam me up"; and in Star Trek Generations, by saying, "Beam them out of there, Scotty". The phrase was used on a bumper sticker with the tag line "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."

The smell, you know, that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smells like... victory. Some day, this war's gonna end."
