BEST LAST LINE EVER?
Irrespective of the film, doesn't have to be a favourite or any good, which one do you think has the best last line of dialogue?
Personally, love the last line from 'Dr Strangelove' (which is also a great film).
As Strangelove miraculously rises from his wheelchair
Strangelove: "Mister President, I have a plan....MY FUEHRER, I CAN WALK!"

There is the classic ending line of "Some Like it Hot".
Jack Lemmon has been hiding out from gangsters by dressing in drag. Joe E. Brown thinks he's a beautiful woman and, after romancing him, proposes marriage. Lemmon is explaining to Brown why they can't get married. He uses all kind of excuses about his bad habits and bad past and Brown keeps saying that it doesn't matter. Finally Lemmon pulls off his wig and says, "I'm a man."
Brown nonchalantly replies "Nobody's perfect."

1900/Novecento: The two main characters are Olmo, a socialist peasent, and Alfredo, a padrone. The ending is when Italy has been retaken from the fascists by communist partisans. They decide to let Alfredo live, with the logic that they want to kill the padrone, but not Alfredo, for Alfredo is living proof that the padrone is dead. Then, the new government orders to turn in their weapons, which they do grudgingly. Alfredo goes up to Olmo and says the last line of the movie: "The padrone's alive."

"1900" has so many great lines. Sterling Hayden as the peasant Leo Dalco has some of the best:
Could this be what they call socialism? All the rich out there sweating, and the poor folks lying under a tree, flat on our backs.
Leo: Olmo, you're a lucky boy.
Olmo: Why?
Leo: Why? It took me 73 years to see a landlord working.
Leo: Does the league tell you that we'll end up eating the grass from this ditch, that we become evil, really evil, does the league tell you all this?
Strike Leader: Yes, the league understands. The league is for us. We can fight back with the league and I'll show you how. The strike is on.
Peasants: The strike is on, the strike is on, the strike is on, the strike is on..
Leo: You know I like this song.
There is also the incredible scene where the fascists are executing peasants.
Man: Temesio, does God exist?
Temesio: No.
Man: Atilla does that bastard Mussolini exist?
Attila: Temesio, does il Duce exist?
Temesio: No, il Duce doesn't exist.
Attila: Kill him.
(Temesio is shot)
Man: Attila, neither do you exist, Attila.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind.
Casablanca also has some good lines - my favorite is probably "round up the usual suspects",, although "I'm shocked, just shocked" is also a great meme.

Woody Allen to Diane Keaton after they're just had sex for the first time ("Annie Hall"):
"That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing."
And from "Manhattan":
Isaac Davis: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Y'know, I read this in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, y'know, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them.
Party Guest: There is this devastating satirical piece on that on the Op Ed page of the Times, it is devastating.
Isaac Davis: Well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.

I'm giving in to my weakness. These are all from "Anne Hall."
Alvy Singer: Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.
Alvy Singer: I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Annie Hall: Sometimes I ask myself how I'd stand up under torture.
Alvy Singer: You? You kiddin'? If the Gestapo would take away your Bloomingdale's charge card, you'd tell 'em everything.
Alvy Singer: Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love.
Alvy Singer: I'm so tired of spending evenings making fake insights with people who work for "Dysentery."
Robin: "Commentary."
Alvy Singer: Oh really? I had heard that "Commentary" and "Dissent" had merged and formed "Dysentery."
Allison: I'm in the midst of doing my thesis.
Alvy Singer: On what?
Allison: Political commitment in twentieth century literature.
Alvy Singer: You, you, you're like New York, Jewish, left-wing, liberal, intellectual, Central Park West, Brandeis University, the socialist summer camps and the, the father with the Ben Shahn drawings, right, and the really, y'know, strike-oriented kind of, red diaper, stop me before I make a complete imbecile of myself.
Allison: No, that was wonderful. I love being reduced to a cultural stereotype.
Alvy Singer: Right, I'm a bigot, I know, but for the left.

Then there's "Reds."
Emma Goldman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0822972/): I think voting is the opium of the masses in this country. Every four years you deaden the pain.
Eugene O'Neill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/): I'd like to kill you, but I can't. So you can do whatever you want to. Except not see me.
Eugene O'Neill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/): If you were mine, I wouldn't share you with anybody or anything. It'd be just you and me. We'd be the center of it all. I know it would feel a lot more like love than being left alone with your work.
Eugene O'Neill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/): You dream that if you discuss the revolution with a man before you go to bed with him, it'll be missionary work rather than sex.
Louise Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000473/): I'd like to see you with your pants off, Mr. Reed.
John Reed (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/): Louise, I love you.
Louise Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000473/): No, you love yourself! Me, you FUCK!
Max Eastman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001346/): I'll walk you home.
Emma Goldman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0822972/): Why? I won't hurt anyone.
Eugene O'Neill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/): Jack dreams that he can hustle the American working man, who's one dream is that he could be rich enough not to work, into a revolution led by *his* party.
John Reed (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/): All right, Miss Bryant, do you want an interview? Write this down. Are you naïve enough to think containing German militarism has anything to do with this war? Don't you understand that England and France own the world economy and Germany just wants a piece of it? Keep writing, Miss Bryant. Miss Bryant, can't you grasp that J. P. Morgan has loaned England and France a billion dollars? And if Germany wins, he won't get it back! More coffee? America'd be entering the war to protect J. P. Morgan's money. If he loses, we'll have a depression. So the real question is, why do we have an economy where the poor have to pay so the rich won't lose money?
John Reed (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/): Look, what does a capitalist do? Let me ask you that, Mike. Huh? Tell me. I mean, what does he make, besides money? I don't know what he makes. The workers do all the work, don't they? Well, what if they got organized?
Louise Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000473/): Would you rather I not smoke during rehearsal?
Eugene O'Neill (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/): I'd rather you went up in flames than crush out your cigarette during a monologue about birth.

Just remembered. Though few of you will know of this movie. It is called "Valter Defends Sarajevo" It was an old Yugoslav partisan movie and it is my favorite movie ever.
In the end when the German commander is leaving the city he says "After all this time I didn't know who Valter is, but now when I am leaving I know." (other German officer) "You know where Valter is?! Tell me now!"
And finally the Commander says "I will show you him....Do you see this city? THIS is Valter."
or in German..."Das ist Valter!"
I tried to translate it my best but it is in German so I read the subtitles and translated it from Serbian. Either way this is a very popular movie and really portrays the anti-nazi struggle in cities in Yugoslavia heroically.
Here is a link to that infamous scene:
