"I made him an offer he couldn't refuse." (alternate: "Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.")

"Rosebud."

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

"Nobody's perfect."

"You know how to whistle, don't you? Just put your lips together and blow."

"I coulda been a contender!"

"...I'm Batman."

"I don't drink...wine."

"There's no place like home."

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"

"I think I broke his ******* neck, I think he broke his ******* neck, See I told you I broke his ******* neck! (over the PA) I think he broke his ******* neck!"

" I like to watch."

"Get your paws off of me you damned dirty ape!"

"The sow is mine!"

Just for the hell of it I'm going take my right foot and wap you on that side of your face and you know what? There isn't a damned thing you can do about it."

"There's no crying in baseball!"

I'm sure these two appear due to English preferences - you'd definitely not see them in an American poll:

3. "What's it all about?" - Alfie (1966)
7. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - The Italian Job (1969)

This one's a mystery to me - maybe the flick's really big in the UK?

6. "No one puts baby in the corner" - Dirty Dancing (1987)

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

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

"I am big! It's the pictures that got small."

"I'm king of the world!!"

"Fasten your seatbelts--it's going to be a bumpy night..."

"Yo, Adrian!!"

"Who are those guys??"

"They're heee--ere..."

"Help meee! Help meeee!"

"Say hello to my l'il friend!!!"

"I think what we've got on our hands is a dead shark."
