Actually, my pick was the "General! Would you care to step outside?" line for its badassery. But all three lines in that clip are pretty good.

Just watched "Dr. Strangelove" again last night and that one is full of 'em. I love when George C. Scott's character says, on the admittance of the Russian ambassador to the War Room, "He'll see everything, I mean--he'll see the Big Board!" In fact, the whole scene is genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZV_lIwmz5E

I'm partial to John Waters film Desperate Living, particularly Peggy Gravel's response to the kid offering to pay for her broken window out of his allowance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCyMkgqY2FM In fact, the whole movie's so bad, it's great!

a line from Showgirls (I know, fish in a barrel): "You got something wrong with your nipples?...I'm erect. Why aren't you erect?" absurd and yet applicable to so much of show biz (as viewed from my spot in the flyover country)

Al Pacino has been known to chew the scenery now and then, but he's always entertaining: (From Heat) Alan Marciano (Hank Azaria): Why'd I get mixed up with that bitch? Vincent Hanna (Pacino): Cause she's got a great ass!... and you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me.

Note Melora Hardin is the girl in the BMOC clip. "Jan" from the office. She's a close friend and a fantastic actress.

A Keanu Reeves gem, made "great" by his "delivery": In Dangerous Liaisons, when Merteuil (Glenn Close) says, "Chevalier, tell us what we should think of the opera." And he replies, emphasizing the near rhyme, "Oh, it's sublime, don't you find." Just. Awesome.

Peter Sellers, as Chauncy Gardner, ripped off so many in that marvelous monotone in BEING THERE, but -- "I like to watch." -- fits this contest and our screenwriting world on so many levels... That, and President "Bobby" / Jack Warden's final line of the movie: "Life is a state of mind."

Not the best, but memorable. "yoo hoo! I'll make you famous." "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." "I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing" "“What, you want me to name someone? You want like a name? Oh, God, the pressure of a name… I got it. Cindaf**kin’rella” "Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew, Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off. (to cat) come on, cat" "I've come back for you... to remind you of something. Something you once knew..." [the top spins without end] "You're a real blue flame special, aren't you, son? Young, dumb and full of cum, I know. What I don't know is how you got assigned here. Guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?" "not so far"

The "best" line in movie history is unquestionably Ryan O'Neal's soliloquy in Norman Mailer's TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3fqR0yuWoU

Wow! Huge OFFICE fan here and I totally didn't recognize her! I think she looks better now than she did when she was younger. I guess 80s hair will do that to a person.
