What is your favorite movie line?

[Jeebo]

My nominee for this honor: "We're all part monster in our subconscious, so we have LAWS and RELIGION!"

That line is from near the end of the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, which, incidentally, is my favorite science fiction movie ever. When J.J. Adams (the captain, played by Leslie Nielsen), Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis) are fleeing from the pursuing invisible monster, and Adams had just figured out, with Dr. Ostrow's help, what the monster was, and Adams was confronting Morbius with that stunning realization, Morbius objected, "I'm not a monster, you ..." Adams replied, "We're all part monster in our subconscious, so we have LAWS and RELIGION!"

I cannot think of another movie line that I love more than that one. I just posted this in another thread about favorite movie endings, and that's what gave me the idea for starting another thread with this subject.

In the words of the immortal Linda Richman of Saturday Night Live fame, I've given y'all a topic, now, discuss!

6. I read Lauren Bacall's book.

The one she wrote about her relationship with Humphrey Bogart. How long ago was that? Must have been 35 or 40 years ago that that book came out. That is indeed a great line from a great movie, as are all the lines and movies nominated so far in this thread.
