In the original The Terminator:

Mexican Gas Station Attendant: "[The boy] says a storm is coming."

Sarah Connor (squinting into the distance, thinking, as we are, of the future destruction of civilization): "I know."

How about Full Metal Jacket:
“I’m So Happy That I Am Alive, in One Piece and Short. I’m in a World of Shit, Yes. But I Am Alive. And I Am Not Afraid.”

Or Psycho:
"I'm Not Even Gonna Swat That Fly. I Hope They Are Watching. They'll See. They'll See and They'll Know and They'll Say, 'Why, She Wouldn't Even Harm a Fly."

 

[DesertDan]

The Thing From Another World
"Keep watching the skies."

The Thing (1982)
"Why don't we just wait here a little while....see what happens."

The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King (The book and the movie)
"Well, I'm back."

On a different note, probably my all time favorite film, "How Green Was My Valley". How amazing was Roddy McDowell in this?

Haha! Yes! I love yelling this. No one seems to know what movie it's from, but I think it's one of the funniest lines in all cinema history. Well, at least coming from Heston anyway.

The list in the article linked in the OP is a good one - I'd quibble with A Clockwork Orange, though. For all the film has some nice bits, it is fundamentally flawed less by its badly dated visuals, more by the fact that it omits entirely the epilogue from the book, thus missing a vital chunk of the satire. I've been told the american publishers of the novel also cut the epilogue in order to provide an upbeat ending - don't know if this is an urban myth, though.

"Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast."

 

[DesertDan]

"Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

They missed one of the great final lines. This one is from Bridge on the River Kwai:

"Madness, madness"

Alta, about a million years from now the human race...will have crawled up to where the Krell stood....in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again...like a beacon in the galaxy. It's true, it will remind us...that we are, after all, not God.

This is Ripley, W564502460H, executive officer, last survivor of the commercial starship Nostromo signing off. (pause) Come on cat.

"Now we are free. I will see you again. But not yet, not yet...."

"Auntie Em -- there's no place like home!"

A River Runs Through It
Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
