The Godfather is a masterpiece that tops many best-movie lists.

Oscar winners Marlon Brando and Al Pacino both have more their fair share of memorable quotes, unforgettable lines that have entered movie lore and pop culture, going way beyond the original context, in which they were initially spoken.

My Oscar Book:

Here are some memorable lines:

  • “Revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.”
  • “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.”
  • “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
  • “Great men are not born great. They grow great.”
  • “A friend should always underestimate your virtues, and an enemy overestimates your faults.”
