»You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...«, siger Robert Duvall i filmen Dommedag nu fra 1979 med et sådant eftertryk, at monologen netop er blevet kåret som filmhistoriens bedste replik. 6.500 filmelskere har stemt 6.500 filmelskere har deltaget i afstemningen, som endte med at placere Jack Nicholsons replik i 'Et spørgsmål om ære' på anden pladsen for ordene: »You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know - that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives«. Brando på tredjepladsen Marlon Brando indtog tredjepladsen for en tale i filmen 'On the Waterfront', som i 1954 også indbragte Brando en Oscar: »Remember that night in the Garden? You came down to my dressing room and you said 'kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson'... You was my brother, Charlie. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum. Which is what I am. Let's face it«. Blandt de tyve bedste filmreplikker er ingen fremsat af kvinder.
