Movie quote meme

[pat]

Grabbed from griffen:

Pick 20 movies that you love. Pick one (or a few) of your favorite lines from each and post them in your LJ. As people guess, strike out the ones that have been guessed correctly.

Extra points if you can tell who said it, and more bonus points if you can tell me why it's on my list. Have fun!

[Edit: Yes, I know a lot of these quotes were easy. I picked movies I loved, and I for the most part, I picked my favorite lines, even though I could have picked other, more obscure ones. And I note no one is trying to gues who said the lines -- why not? ]
