Three movie quotes from this date. Featuring Titanic (1997), The Wizard of Oz (1939), Apocalypse Now (1979).

Matinee

I'll never let go, Jack. I'll never let go.

Answer: Titanic ()

Winslet delivers this while releasing Jack's body into the ocean — one of cinema's great ironies. Cameron chose the line to deliberately mean the opposite of what it sounds like.

Primetime

There's no place like home.

Answer: The Wizard of Oz ()

Garland was 16 when she filmed this. The ruby slippers are silver in Baum's novel — the color was changed to showcase Technicolor. AFI ranks this closing line #23 of all time.

Midnight

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Answer: Apocalypse Now ()

Robert Duvall improvised the specific cadence of this speech. Coppola said it was the first moment he knew the film would work.
