Screenwriting is all about the good lines

Dan Webster

It's one thing to compile a list of your favorite films of the year. It's quite another to compile your favorite movie quotes of the year. That, though, is exactly what writer Beth Hanna did on the website Thompson on Hollywood.

For example, one of my favorites is this line from Sofia Coppola's film "The Bling Ring" (uttered by Emma Watson, above, playing Nicki): "I’m a firm believer in Karma, and I think this situation is a huge learning lesson for me. I want to lead a country one day, for all I know.”
