My absolute all time favourite: the last line from Bridge on the River Kwai.

"Madness...madness"
.
truly great movie, but I thought it was one of the worst-delivered lines in the history of the movies.
I would go with just about anything Will Holden said, though - the Ugly American that he plays (in every role) is my all-time favorite act in the movies.

How about: You give me powders, pills, baths, injections, enemas; when all I need is love.

Another gem from Vyvyan...

John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.
Russell Ziskey: Well I got the sh%t kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

"When did food become medicine? We just used to take pills. You ate normal food: bangers and mash; chip butties; chicken vindaloo. Then when you're ill the doctor would give you proper medicine made from proper chemicals."

This movie may have been stated already, but there are quite a few nice quotes in It's a Wonderful Life.

I specially like "All you can take with you is that which you have given away".

"Did he fire six shots, or only five?"
I've watched it a number of times and I can only count four. That means that #5 would be under the hammer and #6 would be quite visible from the front. When he drops the hammer it would have "blown the crook's head clean off".

Not letting reality intrude, the lines are still good: "Do ya feel lucky, punk? - Well, do ya?"

"Right! Eddie comes in... Takes off his coat... Body odour... Takes off his hat and sits down to eat his tea... sees the [suicide] note... Sees me [with head in oven]... Shock!... Rescue, rescue, rescue, rescue... Remorse, remorse, guilt, guilt, guilt... Whirlwind of self-loathing... And Eddie buys me a drink! Fiendish!"

Richie: I do favour the intelligent bird myself. It's sexist to like the good-looking ones, you know.
Eddie: Is it?
Richie: Yes, it's very unfashionable. You have to have an intelligent one these days. I saw it on Kilroy. They had half a studio of lookers and the rest were, um... intelligent: short hair, glasses, homemade earrings.
Eddie: What was the issue?
Richie: Well, I couldn't quite work that out. But the point was that you're supposed to do it with the ones you don't fancy.
Eddie: Who gets to breed with the lookers then?
Richie: Nobody, just the sexists.
Eddie: Are they on the lookout for sexists? How does one join?

My favorite quotes come from two very different Katharine Hepburn movies

Oh, we're going to talk about me again, are we? Goody.

I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children.
