What's your favorite last line in a movie?

[ButterflyBlood]

It's probably one of these for me:

Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part. - Se7en
No. It's for me. - The Lives of Others
I'm finished! - There Will Be Blood

[edbermac]

1. The ending of Some Like It Hot

Which I won't reveal if some haven't seen the movie.

[MiddleFingerMom]

4. Absolutely.

[rrneck]

2. D'ya think there's any chance of it?

The Lion in Winter

[Recursion]

22. Wonderful movie

Though I always mix up Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton in that and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

[mysuzuki2]

3. "It's Chinatown Jake"

Closely followed by " Oh God, oh God ooohhhh....!" Don't ask about the latter.

[hibbing]

5. The one I don't know what was said..

Hi,
Off the top of my head I'm going with the last scene in Lost in Translation where Bob whispers to Charlotte and you can't make out what he says to her. Leaves the mind open for imagining what it is.

Peace

6. “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

[Mr.Bill]

7. Bridge On The River Kwai

Can't remember if the last line exactly, but:


"Madness."

[Incitatus]

8. "Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid."

Caddyshack

[Auggie]

24. One of the funniest

and one of the most unexpected last lines ever

[pinboy3niner]

9. “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

And like that-–poof-–he’s gone!”

[blogslut]

10. Speaking of Hemingway

I never read his unfinished book, Islands in the Stream, but I saw the film in the theater and stayed to see it again. The last line lives with me and I have no idea whether or not it is a direct quote from the author:

"I know now there's no "one thing" that is true. It is all true."

[lastlib]

11. "My God--it's full of stars!!"

[Graybeard]

12. The Thing (1951)

'Watch the skies, everywhere! Keep looking. Keep watching

the skies!'

Or The Blob (1958) They take it to the Arctic and drop it.

"Well at least we've got it stopped.'

'Yeah. As long as the Arctic stays cold........?.........'

[Aristus]

13. "As you wish..."

[charlie and algernon]

14. "I hope." Shawshank Redemption

"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. "

[hamsterjill]

28. One of my favorite movies of all time!

n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

15. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

[HappyMe]

18. Yes! That's mine too.

[dr.strangelove]

16. dr.strangelove is great, but I think The Maltese Falcon

I have always loved the film. Bogart's Sam Spade was the first Bogart role I ever saw, and I knew immediately why America fell for this great actor. The line is, "The stuff that dreams are made of." It is Sam Spade's answer to a cop holding the (fake) Maltese Falcon and asking "It’s heavy, what is it?"

In Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick's greatest film IMO, Peter Sellers played three roles (almost four) but none as great as the man who inspired me to pick my screen name many years ago.
"Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!"

[Paladin]

17. "Forget the Alamo." --- "Lone Star"

The final line from "The Lives of Others" is a close second, as far as I'm concerned.

[Bertha Venation]

19. surely not my fave but the only one I can remember

Silverado

Scott Glenn: You may make a farmer yet.

Kevin Kline: I got a job.

[Initech]

20. "Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

[Recursion]

23. "A new understanding between friends" "I was cured alright"

That's a great ending

[IrishEyes]

25. The Apartment

It is one of my favorite films.


C.C. Baxter: You hear what I said, Miss Kubelik? I absolutely adore you.

Fran Kubelik: Shut up and deal...

[Lil Missy]

26. "I'm having an old friend for dinner" n/t

[nirvana555]

27. I love the "I hope" lines. Shawshank Redemtion is in the top five of my fav. Movies n/t

[Demo_Chris]

29. "Eliza? Where the devil are my slippers?" My Fair Lady

[mythology]

30. For me it's the voiceover at the end of American History X

It feels a bit like cheating because it's more than just a line though. But for me it speaks to how on my best days I aspire to live. To let go of my baggage, of the sins that haunt me (not that I was ever a neo-nazi, but the general concept).

So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'
