From Sleeping Beauty (1959), two characters talking about a dress they just made: "It looks awful." "That's because it's on you, dear."

“Nevermind dear, chin up” “That’s right, both of them” 😂😂😂

Honestly I think the writing was so much better back when the writers had a larger vocabulary than a handful of four-letter words.

In the last lines of "Dinner at Eight", Jean Harlow tells Marie Dressler that she's been reading a book that predicts that, in the future, machines will perform all tasks. Marie looks at Jean in her slinky dress and says, "Oh, my dear. That's something you'll never have to worry about."

Casablanca has some of the best lines, PERIOD. The dialog is just so sharp.

Arsenic and Old Lace. One comeback after another.

Still one of mine, and wouldn't you know, it's Groucho talking to Margot Dumont: "Why I never forget a face. But in your case, I'll make an exception."

As someone who lives for black and white movies as well as pre-1970 movies I really appreciated this 😍 Bette Davis is the queen of shade 👑

Groucho’s insults deserve a video all their own.

The Casablanca line (and there are MANY really cutting put downs in that movie) is one of my faves of all time. My other favorite put down in Casablanca was delivered to Major Strasser (the major villain) by Captain Renault. After Strasser insults Rick by describing him as "just another blundering American," Claude Rain's deliciously wry character returns with "We musn't underestimate 'American blundering'. I was with them when they 'blundered' into Berlin in 1918."

Another Wizard of Oz zinger was launched at Ms. Gulch by Aunt Em. "Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us! For 23 years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now...well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"

"I wouldn't take her to a dog fight if she were the leading contender." - W.C. Fields.

Finally Watchmojo has found out that there are many people who love classic films.

They had amazing writers back then. Not to mention actors who could deliver them. Thank you for giving screen time to Eve Arden She was one of a kind.

Studio PR head (about actress Lena Lamont): "The studio has to keep their talent from looking ridiculous at all cost." Cosmo Brown: "No one has THAT much money." - Signing in the Rain

As long as they have sidewalks, you've got a job. That was awesome!

Another comeback from my favorite all time movie, "Casablanca": Rick: I have a gun pointed at your heart! Renault: That's my least vulnerable part!

Wait - you talked over Eve Arden’s end of that line, that “alligators eat their young.” That’s the best part of that burn. Great list though!

Something not mentioned about the Clark Gable scene is that they had to get special permission to even use that line in the movie. As it was considered swearing at the time.

I love the vintage dresses in these movies!! Beautiful just beautiful!!

Classic hollywood will always be the best

If the 1970s had been included I would expect to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the list. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away before I taunt you a second time."

Really interesting. Joan Crawford is in 2 of these and Bette Davis is in three. And they were huge rivals in real life!

There were some beautiful men and women in classic Hollywood film. I always am taken aback at the sight of Cary Grant, Vivian Leigh, Katherine Hepburn, etc. Clever and fun to watch!

Gone with the Wind: too bad they truncated the quote in the movie. In the book it’s the best paragraph of all time: “Scarlett, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken-and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived. Perhaps, if I were younger-” he sighed. “But I’m too old to believe in such sentimentalities as clean slates and starting all over. I’m too old to shoulder the burden of constant lies that go with living in polite disillusionment. I couldn’t live with you and lie to you and I certainly couldn’t lie to myself. I can’t even lie to you now. I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t.” He drew a short breath and said lightly but softly: “My dear, I don’t give a damn.”

The Lion In Winter is pretty much nothing but burns :) One of my favorites is Peter O'Toole's response to being asked how his wife is. "Decaying, I suppose"

Just one of many reasons why I loves, love, loves me some classic films. The writing and actor deliveries were the best and I busted out laughing at Joan Crawford's 'there's a name for you ladies' quip. Lol, daaayum!

As long as they've got sidewalks should've been on the list proper. What a burn!!!!!!

The Sound of Music, when the Baroness says to Maria, "I'm sure you'll make a very fine nun."

Clark Gable's parting shot is the best movie one-liner ever.

Ann Blyth, the actress who performed the role of Joan Crawford's daughter in "Mildred Pierce", is one of the last artists from the Golden Age of Hollywood films. Even at her present age of 94, her beauty and grace still remain iconic and timeless. 😊

I cannot believe that in the very first burn, you talk over Eve Arden so that we never get to hear her say "they eat their young".

Why Bette Davis didn’t win the Oscar for “All About Eve” will never ever make sense to me

One of the best burns ever could have been in a movie, but happened in real life. Clare Booth Luce and Dorothy Parker (who were famous enemies) happened upon a hotel entrance at the same time. Clare Booth Luce paused to let Dorothy Parker in first, saying, "age before beauty". Without missing a beat, Dorothy Parker says, "pearls before swine" and sweeps into the hotel.

"Why I'd like to give you a piece of my mind!" "Oh I couldn't take the last piece."

Loved "The Women" and Rhett's shot over the bow of Scarlett will always be spoken by the generations.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is a great movie. I love how Christina supports her daughter when she was going to marry John Wade.

I believe part of the impact of Gable's line in "Gone with the Wind" was that was the first time a "cuss word" had been allowed into a movie.

The Awful Truth and Mildred Pierce have some pretty classic sick a.f. burns in them as well as The Little Foxes, Bringing Up Baby, The Man Who Came To Dinner and The Lady Eve as well as pretty much anything with Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford. Cheers to MOJO for keeping this list old Hollywood

You forgot Cary Grant's line from Arsenic and Old Lace, when he said: "Where'd you get that face HOLLYWOOD?"

You can’t find witty humor and insults like these in movies anymore.

I watched 'The Man Who Came to Dinner' a few nights ago with my mom. We agreed that Sheridan Whiteside was funny in a movie, but if we had to deal with him in real life (and he was based on a real person) we would avoid him like the plague.

"Madame when I invite a woman to dinner, I expect her to face me. It's the price she pays."

Groucho Marx in Night at the Opera...."How would you like to feel like she looks?"

For those wondering most of these and more can be found in the 100 greatest movie insults of all time, and the other 100 greatest movie insults of all time.

Kate Hepburn was second to none in delivering Savage Burns, but "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" was far from her best work. Her best was "The Philadelphia Story," when she broke Cary Grant's golf club. I wish you had included Marlene Dietrich's exchange with another showgirl in "Blonde Venus:" Girl to Dietrich: "They call me Taxi." Dietrich: "Is the first ride free?"

I don't know if it just wasn't powerful enough or if maybe it counts as more of a comeback comment, but in Abbott Costello Meet Frankenstein there is a kind of long joke where the pair is talking about the two women in the film and it goes something like this: "If you had two pairs of shoes you'd share, right?" "Right." If you had two hat you'd let me have one, right?" "Yeah" "You've got two dames, so..." "I'd tell you to grab a hat, put on some shoes and go for a walk." Even now that always brings a smile to my face. I don't know, I think it's worth an honorable mention.

I went to see Gone with the Wind in theaters for the 75th anniversary, and as soon as Rhett said, "Frankly my dear...." everyone was applauding.

I’ve always thought if Ashley had grown a spine & told Scarlett that he didn’t love her, that he was deeply in love with Melanie, she’d gotten over him quickly and realized that she loved Rhett. I always disliked Ashley. I just wish that Scarlett realized how much she loved & depended on Melanie as a friend & sister before it was too late

Best burn in history: “If you were my husband, I’d poison your tea!” “If you were my wife, I would drink it.” Often falsely associated with Churchill. Unknown origin.

My favorite burn is in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, when Myrna Loy introduces Cary Grant to Judge Turner. Myrna Loy: “Judge Turner is an Associate Justice of the state Supreme Court.” Cary Grant: “Good for you, Junior. Better than working for a living!” That exchange makes me laugh every time.

"How dare you look like somebody I hate" - The Three Stooges

Katherine Hepburn did a great job in the scene in guess who coming to dinner

Quick witty shade putdowns at their best.

“When I’m dead and gone you’ll know what a friend I was.” “Why don’t you drop dead now so we can test your theory.”

As long as they have sidewalks you have a job! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for being so inclusive! Love old movies!

Gone with the Wind is a number 1 for me and just happens to be #1 in this video 🤣🤣

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”

Hollywood was funnier when they couldn't just say whatever they wanted. A lot more clever

1939 has to be up there with the best years of movies, ever. Just The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind alone would give it that honor, but there were other gems as well.

My all-time favorite put-down came from, I think it was Cary Grant when the leading lady said "Do I threaten your masculinity?" He replied, "No, do I threaten yours?" I wish someone would tell me the name of the movie and the actors involved.

This is the best list Ms. Mojo has ever done!

This was so fun...please do more of this!

I love every one of these movies!!! Bette Davis " when I kissed you... I had to wipe my mouth, wipe my mouth" what a classic!!!! And that made her a star!!!!!! It seems to me like Cagney ought to be in this one for insults. (when he shoved the grapefruit in her face and that was not in the script) I love these movies and I'll say it again... I love these movies.

You missed a great one - Katherine Hepburn "The Lion in Winter" King Henry begs her " Won't you give me some peace?' her reply ? "How about eternal peace? There's an idea"

"Henry, what a disagreeable surprise " from My Fair Lady.

No one writes great dialogue like this anymore.

To me that's sometimes better about writers back in the day having to be wittier with dialogue like in 1958's Auntie Mame where Rosalind Russell picks up a pencil and tells Patrick Dennis - "... that is a 'B', Darling! It's the first letter of a seven letter word that means your late father...!" (As she proceeds to jot it down on his list of words he doesn't understand!) Way more effective than the later actual use in "Mame", coming later on on stage and cinema!

You should of had "Cool Hand Luke", "What We Have Here Is Failure To Communicate "

These are great because the actors are all so great. Where oh where have all those great writers gone!

A couple favorites delivered wonderfully by Ginger Rogers. From vivacious lady as Francey : Helen: Now, are you going to mind your own businesses, or must I really give you a piece of my mind? Francey: Oh, I couldn't take the last piece. And as Linda in Shall We Dance: Lady Tarrington: You are smarter than you look. Linda: I wish I could say the same about you.

Rest in peace, Sidney Poitier

Most people would probably not consider "McLintock!" a classic movie (though it is my favorite John Wayne movie), but it's got some pretty good burns between John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Case in point: "Katherine, the first thing I learned about fighting Indians is to wait until daybreak." "What does Indian fighting have to do with this conversation?" "Indian fighting is good experience for our kind of conversations!"

As long as there are sidewalks you have a job? I'm sorry but that sounded like top 10 material to me.

In the 1950s Groucho Marx hosted a long running TV gameshow called You Bet Your Life. Once he had lady contestant who he discovered had 15 children prompting Groucho to ask "how did that happen?" The lady replied "I guess I just love my husband" which prompted one of his most brutal quips... "Lady, I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth every now and then."

Don: Meet the greatest actor in the world! I'd rather kiss a tarantula! Lina: You don't mean that! Don: I don't? Joe, bring me a tarantula. - Singin' In the Rain

Groucho Marx in the movie, "Horse Feathers": "Why don't you go home to your wife? I'll tell you what, I'll go home to your wife, and outside of the improvement she'll never know the difference."

I see Gone With The Wind, I clicked

I think Groucho Marx is the absolute best! Duck Soup is my favorites but The Cocoanuts is pretty good and hardly ever seen.

"I asked it of Julius Caesar. I demand it of you", Cleopatra.

How can you miss all the sick burns in "The Lion in Winter?" Henry and Eleanor spend the whole movie sniping at each other. For example; E: What would you have me do, give up, give out, give in? H: Give me a little peace. E: A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now there's a thought.

I love Gone with the Wind. It’s my favorite movie on my list. I wouldn’t leave my movie behind.

Gone with the Wind is my favorite book and movie. I know this is not a popular opinion, but I always feel so sad for poor Scarlett at the end of the movie.

Hollywood was quite a thing back during the days.

Joan Blondell has a great one in footlight parade!

I'm so glad yall included a precode movie! I love "Babyface." My favorite precode movie is "Red Headed Woman" with Jean Harlow and Una Merkel. In one scene Jean's character sees that Una's character is wearing her pajamas and tells her, "shake out of those right now. I'm too important to sleep informally. What if there should be a fire?" Then Una shoots back, "you'd have to cover up to keep from being recognized!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's my all time favorite classic movie come back

Katherine Hepburn is iconic

Love what ida said in Mildred pierce

Women had better roles in pre-code films, grittier and more realistic. The sanitization of the 1950's did a lot of damage to women's representation in movies regarding parts for actresses, especially older ones.

Rhett Butler was or is a BOSS

Great lines! The one from The Women is classic. Joan Crawford has other ones, but the one from Flamingo Road about how hard is to get rid of a dead elephant, was real shade to Sydney Greenstreet.

Some of these were actually funny as heck

In 42nd Street Ginger Rogers playing a chorus girl says to another chorus girl that she's arguing with: "Too bad about your mother, not having any children!!!"

The Fountainhesd. At a cocktail party after the villain has destroyed Howard Roark's career, "What do you think of me now.?" Roark: "But I don't think of you."

One of my ultimate fave movie comeback (even if it’s not from a classic movie) is from A Walk to Remember: “Dean: If there is a greater power, why is it he can't get you a new sweater? Jamie: Because, he's too busy looking for your brain.”

My fav: "If you want to shoot shoot, dont talk" by tuko in good bad and ugly.

OMG. you’ve definitely nailed it. IDK how you managed to whittle it down to just 10. But you did get some of the BEST ones

I need a part 2 of this. I am going to use all of these in my conversations now
