What Is the Most Famous Movie Line?

[c.d.]

Well we have certainly had a lively discussion on what is the most famous movie scene and I thank every one for participating. Lots of different opinions and lots of great scenes.

Now the question is what is the most famous movie line? I'm going to say hands down "Here's looking at you, kid" from Casablanca.

What do you think?

Could be, c.d. Although..."Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Hi Maurice,

That line has to be a contender no question about it. But I would argue that that line is famous because it is the last line of the movie whereas the here's looking at you, kid line defines the movie if that makes any sense.
