    Robert De Niro's line "You talkin' to me?" from Taxi Driver is the top film catchphrase of all time, according to a group of UK cinema managers.
    The nationwide poll of Odeon managers put Sean Connery's "The name's Bond, James Bond", from Dr No, at number two.


    TOP TEN FILM CATCHPHRASES
    1. "You talkin' to me?" - Taxi Driver (1976)
    2. "The name's Bond, James Bond" - Dr No (1962)
    3. "What's it all about?" - Alfie (1966)
    4. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" - Gone with the Wind (1939)
    5. "We're gonna need a bigger boat" - Jaws (1975)
    6. "No one puts baby in the corner" - Dirty Dancing (1987)
    7. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - The Italian Job (1969)
    8. "May the force be with you" - Star Wars (1977)
    9. "Show me the money!" - Jerry Maguire (1996)
    10. "Yeah baby, yeah!" - Austin Powers (1997)

    Valid list or would you have included some other lines? Me, I'd have to have "Say hello to my little friend!" (Scarface) and "All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don't break 'em for no-one!" (also Scarface).

    Who the hell has heard of #3? I never have. And it certainly isn't very memorable. Crikey. #7 ain't much better, either. As you might say...these blokes are a bunch of wankers. ;)

    Here's a few they missed:

    "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning." - Apocalypse Now

    "Phone home" - E.T.

    "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!!!" - Network

    "Houston, we have a problem." - Apollo 13

    "Yo, Adrien!" - Rocky

    "Wax on, Wax off" - Karate Kid

    "There's no place like home." - Wizard of Oz

    "Love means never having to say you're sorry." - Love Story

    "No points for second place." Top Gun

    "Aaaaaalrighty then." - Ace Ventura

    "Run Away!" - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    "Somebody messes wit me, then I'm gonna mess wit him." - The Untouchables

    "I'm not trying to seduce you. Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" - The Graduate

    "Damn them! Damn them all to helllllll!!" - Planet of the Apes

    "Not by my cold dead hands." - 10 Commandments

    "Excellent!" - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

    "Here's lookin' at you, kid." - Casablanca (I think)

    "Cuz I got no place else ta go!!!" - Officer and a Gentlemen

    "I'm your worst nightmare." - Rambo

    "Who ya gonna call?" - Ghostbusters

    "I think I'm gonna hurl!" - Wayne's World

    "Run Forrest, Run!" - Forrest Gump

    "They're heeeeere." - Poltergeist

    "This town needs an enema!" - Batman

    ...and of course...my personal favorite...

    "Me so horny! Me love you long time." - Full Metal Jacket

    -----

    God I kick ass at this. Wouldn't it be great if I had a worthwhile talent? Ya know, something useful?

    Oh hey, you just offered my life some form of entertainment for about 10+ seconds. Isn't that useful enough? ;)

    Nice phrases though. How about the following:

    "I'll be back"

    "Hastala vista, baby"

    "Game over man, game over!"

    "You're one ugly mother f****r"

    "NNNooooooooooo!" - Starwars, Luke moaning when he discovers that Vader is his father.

    Etc, can't think of anything else as catchy right now. I'm sure they exist by the hundreds though.

    Death Rabbit - "The Italian Job" and "Get Carter" are two of England's best loved movies - and the scene about blowing the doors off is regularly voted one of their favourite scenes and is often parodied in comedies and TV commercials. Hence their shock when American remakes of these classics came out in the last couple of years.

    "Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, punk." Dirty Harry

    "Smells like...victory" Apocalypse Now, the love quote is so much better with its continuation.

    What about "it's alive... ALIVE!" from the Frankenstein movie.

    I also love "I ain't got time to bleed" in Predator.

    And "It's a queen. She'll breed. You'll die." from one of the Alien movies.

    First one to come to mind is... "You want me to shoot the cook?" from Once Upon a Time in Mexico...

    (Which was followed by the wonderful "No, Ill shoot the cook; my cars parked out back anyway")
