I nominate this one. Can anyone else think of any others?
"Madness. Madness..."
Having just *really* watched it for the first time, I wasn't sure what the 'madness' was. The Doc didn't see Obi Wan do his stuff, so it wasn't directed at him. Presumably the Doc was happy to see the bridge destroyed. Was the 'madness' aimed at mankind as a whole? Oh, the humanity...

Some of my favorite ending dialogue is from Gallipoli, when Archie gives himself the pep talk his coach used to give him before he raced. I think Frank has a word or two after this, before most of the sound falls away as he screams in despair....
"What are your legs? Springs. Steel Springs. And what are they going to do? Hurl me down the track. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you GONNA run!? As fast as a leopard! Then let's see you do it!"
The ending of Gallipoli might help one better understand why The Bridge on the River Kwai ends with the word madness.
Clemenza: "Don Corleone." Godfather
Vito Corleone: "Wave goodbye, Michael." Godfather II
I cant recall the entire setup of thelast lines but the last 2 minutes of both "Snatch" and "Burn after Reading" are pretty sweet.
SOME OF THE BEST NOT MENTIONED

Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a s*** about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. 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 cleaning 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 f-ing 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 TILL THE DAY YOU DIE.
-TRAINSPOTTING-
can anyone think of the war movie with the final line "Bejesus"
or "Be, Jesus"?
this trivia question is killing me
this is gonna seem really random compared to all the others that have been posted on here, and considering its a bridge over the river quay forum (btw i've never seen it so you probably hate me) AND im shocked that first message giving clockwork orange a 5 - t deserves a little more than that..... any way, greatest last lines - 'We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile seems so long.' - The Green Mile
gd call on the trainspotting last lines - and the opening lines at tht too
