Not sure if this has been done before but was watching Jurassic Park the other day and I just love this line... what are your favs?

While challenging John Hammond about raising dinosaurs from the dead.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. [Jurassic Park] :laugh:

Eric Morecambe: "He won't sell many ice creams going at that speed!"
I always say that when an ambulance goes past with its sirens going. I say it even if I'm alone. :laugh:

Indiana Jones: "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage." Or something like that.

No no no no, this one. After Hammond mentions that even Disney had problems.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but when the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't EAT the tourists.

The perfect comeback to anyone who says that they are entitled to their opinion, from Blake's 7:

Avon: It is your assumption that we are ALL entitled to it that is irritating.

Avon's always good for one-liners and comebacks. :twisted:

There are so many great lines in Casablanca

One of my favorites is Claude Rains "I'm shocked, shocked that gambling is going on in this establishment!" - followed by a waiter handing him money, saying "Your winnings, Inspector."

Not actually one line, but it's an awesome, laconic line nonetheless from a comic that should be a TV series. Spider Jerusalem is defending a young man from a group of fundamentalists who want to stone him because said young man watched a porn film with his girlfriend. Spider pulls out his trademark weapon, and asks the fundamentalists if they know what it is. They don't, and his response is excellent:

"This is a bowel disruptor. And you are SO full of sh**." :laugh: :laugh:
