Favorite closing lines in a movie

[Frosty_86]

Basically what films have your favorite ending speech or just the last line of the movie sticks with you? You dont have to do a direct quote because Im too damn lazy to quote some of mine.

"Bond, James Bond"- Casino Royale
DeNiro's closing speech- Casino
Liotta's closing speech- Goodfellas
Samuel L. Jackson's speech- Pulp Fiction
"Im gonna have a drink"- The Untouchables
"One thing about Sanna Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires"- The Lost Boys
"I told you I wasnt goin back"- Heat

[ivana]

Hey, Blond! You know what you are? Just a dirty son-of-a-b-!

Don Corleone...

After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone.

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...

[Bourne101]

"I'm finished" -Daniel Plainview, There Will Be Blood

[Rawlin67]

True Romance

Alabama: Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

[Raoul Duke]

Eyes Wide Shut

Alice Harford: I do love you and you know there is something very important we need to do as soon as possible.

Dr. Bill Harford: What's that?

Alice Harford: Fuck.

[Frosty_86]

".... and then I woke up"- No Country For Old Men

[God of War]

Se7en

"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.' (Somerset in voice-over)"

Love that one among others.

[Le_Big_Mac]

"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." - Chinatown

"I was cured all right." - A Clockwork Orange

"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." - Sunset Blvd.

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads." - Back to the Future

"Mein Führer, I can walk!" - Dr. Strangelove

"How do you live?"
"I steal." - I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang

"After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I...I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I...I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this...this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken.' And, uh, the doctor says, 'Well, why don't you turn him in?' The guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and...but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us...need the eggs." - Annie Hall

"The question is have I learned anything about life. Only that human being are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter... if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that basically He's an underachiever. After all, there are worse things in life than death. If you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know what I'm talking about. The key is, to not think of death as an end, but as more of a very effective way to cut down on your expenses. Regarding love, heh, what can you say? It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that counts. It's the quality. On the other hand if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into. Well, that's about it for me folks. Goodbye." - Love and Death

"I do love you and you know there is something very important we need to do as soon as possible."
"What's that?"
"Fuck." - Eyes Wide Shut

[Iclubseals]

"I'm finished" -Daniel Plainview, There Will Be Blood

Thats one of my favourites. great choice

[FilmKing2000]

"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."

[StealAWheel7]

Now, where was I? - Memento

[Art Vandelay]

"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
