VOTD: The 100 Greatest Movie Threats Of All Time

In real life, when I'm angry with someone, I often find myself at a loss for words — sputtering incoherently until hours after the fact, when the perfect line finally occurs to me much, much too late. In the movies, though, all the characters have professional screenwriters supplying all their words for them, and are therefore much more likely to have an elegant yet terrifying threat ready at their lips the second someone crosses them.

Harry Hanrahan, also known as the guy behind The 100 Greatest Move Insults of All Time and Nicholas Cage Losing His Shit, has edited together another fantastic compilation, this time collecting the 100 Greatest Movie Threats of All Time. I don't know about you, but I'm taking notes for the next time I need to scare the living bejeesus out of someone. (It happens way more often than you'd think... kidding. I'm very nice.) Watch the video after the jump.

It's a wonderfully comprehensive video, ranging over decades and running the gamut from comedy to kids' movies to deadly-serious drama. There are tons of classics ("Say 'what' again") as well as more offbeat choices ("I'm going to punch you in the ovary"). I'd tell you my picks for the greatest movie threat of all time — or rather, the greatest movie threat that's included in this video — but every time I've selected some, I wind up remembering yet another one I really loved.
