Toss up from the same movie:

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

OR

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

From Silence Of The Lambs-
Lecter- “He covettssss. That is his nature.”
I loved Hopkins’s delivery of that line
(the whole scene of Starling’s final face to face meeting with Lecter is fantastic).

I read through this whole thread, and I don’t think anyone has mentioned these-

Animal House- Dean Wormer- “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

Bluto- “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!”

2. “Louis, I think this is the beginning of
a beautiful friendship”
3. “C’mon Jake, it’s Chinatown”
4. “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to
be a bumpy night”
5. “What we have here is a failure to
communicate”
6. “Was beauty that killed the beast”
7. “But you are in that chair, Blanche”
8. I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”
8. “I coulda been someone, a contender”
9. “I don’t nuthin’ ‘bout birthin’ babies”

I like the variation of it in The Running Man-
Arnold- “I’ll be back.”
Richard Dawson- “Only in a rerun.”
Speaking of "Running Man" quotes, i think my fave of that film is

"Hey Killian! Here is Subzero.....now...just plain zero."

Followed by

"We should have taken a trip to Hawaii."
"I had the shirt for it but you fucked it up."
"Jesus Christ!"
"Guess again."

From The Apartment- the doctor has just revived Kubelik from her suicide attempt.
The doctor, to Baxter- “These cases are harder on the doctor than the patient. I ought to charge you by the mile.”
Wilder was a fantastic writer.

Yes the “Jesus Christ/Guess again” line cracks me up too.

I'm sorry if this has already been cited as I've not read the entire thread.

My favourite is from MAGNUM FORCE:

A man's GOT to know his limitations.
