Darth Vader owns the No. 1 misquoted movie line. Poor Darth Vader. It’s bad enough that he lost his wife in childbirth, fought with his son, and embraced the Dark Side of the Force. Now it turns out that we botch his most famous line. Fans mess up The Empire Strikes Back quote—"No, I am your father"—more than any other, according to a recent lovefilm.com survey. (We wrongly say, "Luke, I am your father.") At least Vader’s in good company. We also misquote cinematic icons like Dirty Harry and Hannibal Lecter (see below).
Top Misquoted Movie Lines 2) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Wrong "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Right "Magic Mirror on the wall…"
3) Dirty Harry Wrong "Do you feel lucky, punk?" Right "You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?"
4) Casablanca Wrong "Play it again, Sam." Right "Play it, Sam."
5) Silence of the Lambs Wrong "Hello, Clarice." Right "Good evening, Clarice."
6) Star Trek Franchise Wrong "Beam me up, Scotty!" Right Never used in film or TV series.
7) Gone With the Wind Wrong: "Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn." Right: "Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn." 8) Field of Dreams Wrong: "If you build it, they will come." Right: "If you build it, he will come." 9) The Wizard of Oz Wrong: "I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more, Toto." Right: "Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more." 10) The Graduate Wrong: "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" Right: "Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me."
