So, just thought I'd start up some fun around here.

What is one of your favorite one liners.

Whether it defined the movie, started a trend, or was the genesis of an inside joke that lasted a decade, what are some of the best one liners in film and / or TV.

So to start the ball rolling, I love Highlander.

Great film, with the greatest fantasy/action one liner of all time.

There Can Be Only One!

Or any of R. Lee Ermy (Gunnery Sargent Hartman's) lines in Full Metal Jacket that start: "I know you're dumb Private Pyle, but do you expect me to BELIEVE...??"

In all the military movies ever made, and of all the military movies that will ever be, there will never ever EVER be a better basic training scene than Full Metal Jacket.

R. Lee Ermy broke the mold on Drill Sergeants. Incredible performance.

Seriously, my favourite Gladiator quote is one of Crowe's lines:

"The time for honouring yourself will soon be at an end...Highness."

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is a world of sarcasm in that pause and Crowe delivers it perfectly. He deserved the Oscar for those twelve words alone.
