Best Last Lines

[chartered streets]

Sorry I haven't been here in a while: I have been in France for two weeks.

Anyway, what are your favourite last lines (lines that close movies)?

Here are some of mine (SPOILERS, I suppose):

SOME LIKE IT HOT - "Well, nobody's perfect"*

THE APARTMENT - "Shut up and deal"*

GONE WITH THE WIND - "After all, tomorrow is another day"

MONSTER'S BALL - "I think we're gonna be all right"

SUNSET BLVD. - "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr Demille"*

CASABLANCA - "I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE - "I was cured all right"

There are probably hundreds that I missed.

*Billy Wilder was great at last lines and closing scenes. I wonder what his last words were...

[BadCoverVersion]

I do like the closing Monologue in Trainspotting...Not a line...but I hope it counts!

So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaing up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you.The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.

My Pick is the last line of Se7en
"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, the world is a fine place, and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part"

[VicVega]

From Dusk Till Dawn: "I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fuckin' bastard."

[CheekyShepherd]

I rather liked the final words from The Shawshank Redemption

"I Hope"

[notchreturns]

I like the last line to Manhattan...

"Everybody gets corrupted. You have to have a little faith in people."

Also, Being There...

"Life is a state of mind."

[el_distorto]

"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom. Forever."
-Braveheart

"You met me at a very strange time in my life."
-Fight Club

"I hope."
-The Shawshank Redemption

"Earnest Hemmingway once wrote the world is a fine place and worth fighting for... I agree with the second part."
-Se7en

"Didn't I promise you fireworks?"
-Independence Day

"Welcome to the new world, sir..."
-The Hunt for Red October

"If this is Christmas I gotta see New Year's."
-Die Hard

"Too bad she won't live... but then again who does?"
-Blade Runner

"They'll keep fighting... and they'll win."
-Starship Troopers

"I'm Spider-Man!"
-Spider-Man

"When people ask me whether or not Michael Sullivan was a good man I always tell them the same thing... I'm his son."
-Road to Perdition

"Keep kicking."
-Jaws

"You don't know what I talking about, I'm sure. But you will someday."
-American Beauty

"This confession has ment nothing."
-American Psycho

"In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening and good night."
-The Truman Show

"Begun this Clone War has."
-Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

"The sky is blue, water is wet and Satan Clause is out there and he's getting stronger. Be prepared. That's my philosophy... be prepared."

[The Other]

American Beauty

"If this is Christmas I gotta see New Year's."
-Die Hard

</font>

This reminds me of a great last line in Go

"So, What are we doing for New Years??"

[Shizzle]

Actually, This is a very famous line, everyone has heard it. And most people have seen the movie.

"I'll make him an offer he refuse"

Also, when Micheal is talking to his wife at the wedding and says, "...And he assured him it was either his signature or his brains on the contract..."

And Lets not forget "Just to show you I'm not a hard harted man...She was beutiful. The finest ass I ever had..." Or somthing like that. The Godfather is full of classic lines. And when Luca Brasi is talking to Don Coleone...well you know.

And the line of "Luke, I am your father" Is classic.

I did like the line with Yoda in AOTC.

[charliebobo]

"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown"

[Cyclonus]

"This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

(Alien 3)

[Reigh Kaufman]

'Now, where was I?'- Memento

[TheFrost]

"I SLEPT TOO LONG!!!!!" - Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness (apocalypse ending)

[Dmxkilla99]

Pulp Fiction:

VINCENT

I think we oughta leave now.

JULES

That's probably a good idea.

ALSO, THAT QUOTE THAT THE KID SAID AT THE END OF AMERICAN HISTORY X IS AWESOME, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT WAS?

[ColinM]

I know I sound like a broken record when I constantly say Casablanca in every Best Of thread, but that movie certainly owns this category with "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

My other choices were also already previously mentioned: Some Like it Hot ("Well, nobody's perfect"), The Apartment ("Shut up and deal") and The Shawshank Redemption ("I hope"). You've also got to love American Beauty's ("You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure, but don't worry. You will someday.") and The Godfather's (With the guys kissing Michael's hand and saying "Godfather").

[urbanlegend23]

Can't believe no-one has said this...

Nicole Kidman: There's one thing we have to do now.
Tom Cruise: What?
Nicole Kidman:...Fuck.

EYES WIDE SHUT - A great line to end a great movie and a great career.

he was talking about Stanley Kubrick, who died a few days b4 production wrapped

[KcMsterpce]

"Can I dream?"
"Yes honey. We both can." - "Aliens"

"Now - Where was I?" - "Memento"

"Hail to the king, baby." - American "Army of Darkness" ending (but I like the other one more overall)

"This confession has meant nothing." - "American Psycho"

DING - the last sound in "Say Anything" is perfect.

"Shut up and deal." - "The Apartment"

- KcMsterpce
PS - Strangely enough I look back at other quotes and almost all of these are accounted for. So those who have NOT seen these movies; SEE THEM! HAHAH

[flowrchild]

"I Came!" - Happiness

[[SD] Bob Plisskin]

Tombstone: Tom Micks wept

Escape From L.A.: Welcome To The Human Race

Desperado: Just incase; it's a long ride to the next town

&lt;OB&gt;

[Weapon X]

"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: With great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift. It is my curse. Who am I?......I'm Spider-Man!"
Spider-Man

"The unknown future speeds toward us like a highway at night, but for the first time I look at it with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."
Terminator 2: Judgment Day

"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn. People die. But real love lives forever."
The Crow

[Hannibal21]

CASABLANCA - Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

GONE WITH THE WIND - After all, tomorrow is another day.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - I was to think of these days many times, of Jem, and Dill, and Boo Radley, and Tom Robinson. And Atticus. He would be in Jem's room all night. And he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.

SUNSET BOULEVARD - All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up.

SOME LIKE IT HOT - Well, nobody's perfect.

EYES WIDE SHUT - I do love you and you know there's something very important we need to do as soon as possible.
What's that?
Fuck.

[zeppelin]

A Clockwork Orange: "I was cured alright."
Raging Bull: The "I coulda been a contenda" speech
Eyes Wide Shut: "Fuck."
Chinatown: "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
Sunset Blvd.: "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille."
Casablanca: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Some Like it Hot: "Well, nobody's perfect."
The Usual Suspects: "And just like that, he's gone."
Full Metal Jacket: The voice-over of "My thoughts drift back to erect nipple wet dreams about Mary Jane Rottencrotch and the Great Homecoming Fuck Fantasy. I am so happy that I am alive, in one piece and short. I'm in a world of shit... yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid." over the soldiers singing the Mickey Mouse song.

Also the last line of Rosemary's Baby is something to the effect of "You are the mother, aren't you?" or something like that, was it not? All I remember is the last line was a really good one.

And one more: the last words of 2001: A Space Odyssey are HAL 9000 singing "Daisy," even if it does occure about 25 minutes before the film actually ends. So technically, those are the last words in the film.
