Greatest Last Lines in Movie History - The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) Discussion

[–] AnywhereJack 16 years ago

Has anyone noticed that a good 60% of the lines quoted on this thread are not the last lines from their respective movies.

Anyway, totally hilarious ending narration to Half Baked:

"Now don't get me wrong. I love weed. I LOVE IT! But not as much as I love pussy. The End."

"You doin' some of dat bad sideways business?" ~ Australia

I haven't read the whole thread and am going to pretend nobody has mentioned this line - if I'm correct and nobody has, you should all be ashamed;

'After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone.' - Keyser Soze/Verbal; The Usual Suspects

For that matter, if you know the ending, then the first lines are the best
'Keyser Soze: How you doing Keaton?
Keaton: I can't feel my legs... Keyser.'

I think many people have cited this before but it's just so memorable, the editing, the dialogue, the images.... from the Usual Suspects, my choice:

"And like that... he's gone."

The full situation:

Steve McQueen is a sailor caught in a battle in China before WWII. He's the last guy in his troop and he's been mortally shot. Before he dies he speaks a line that must be similar to what all dying soldiers and sailors think:

"Ma, I was home! What the HELL happened?!?"
