Las palabras con las que Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) le dijo adiós a Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) en el final de Lo Que el Viento se Llevó lideró el ranking de las 100 Mejores Frases del cine estadounidense, elaborado por el American Film Institute (AFI).

"Que la Fuerza te acompañe", Harrison Ford en Star Wars.9. "Abróchense los cinturones. Va a ser una noche con turbulencias", Bette Davis en La Malvada.10. "¿Me estás hablando a mí?", Robert De Niro en Taxi Driver.
Entre el centenar de frases la película Casablanca tuvo más menciones, con seis frases (entre ellas "Siempre tendremos París". La elección más antigua fue dicha en 1927 por Al Jolson: "Esperen un minuto. Aún no han escuchado nada", en El Cantante de Jazz (N° 71). Y la más nueva fue "Mi tesoro" (85), palabras de 2002 de Gollum en El Señor de los Anillos: Las Dos Torres).
