A very enjoyable article in today’s Independent about classic opening lines and other great quotes from films also has a few paragraphs on some of the worst lines ever, which are predictably almost as enjoyable as the good ones. For instance, Sean Connery in Goldfinger, having cracked a crime ring: “At least they won’t be using heroin-flavoured bananas to finance revolutions.” Charles Webb fans meanwhile will be happy to see “Benjamin, I’m not trying to seduce you” from The Graduate also included (among the good quotes, I mean).
