Best Last Lines in Film
 
Not sure if there has been a thread devoted to this already. If so, feel free to let this one die.

Anyway, I'm a sucker for a good ending of a movie, and one-liners usually hit home for me. Topping my list would be (in no particular order, aside from the winner):

1) THE USUAL SUSPECTS: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And then like that... he was gone."

2) CASABLANCA: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

3) MEMENTO: "Now... where was I?"

4) PSYCHO: "Why, she wouldn't hurt a fly!"

And my winner:

4) THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS: "I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner."

Memento was the first one I thought of when I read the subject. And yes, that is the last line of The Usual Suspects. Another favorite of mine:

"You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry: you will someday." - American Beauty

I think there has been a thread on this, but I dunno.

IMO, it's Casablanca, and it's not close.

The American President: "Well, it turns out I've got a rose garden."

Untouchables: "I think I'll have a drink."

Shawshank: "I hope."

Shane: "Shane! Shane! Come back, Shane!"

Last place: Eyes Wide Shut

I submit:

Baby you're going to miss that plane.
-I know.

...I just watched this though, so it was easy to come up with. I found this ending to be absolutely perfect given the previous 3 hours of the movies.

"Whores don't get a second chance" -Identity

I know it's not technically the last line in the movie but it's the last major line and it's just so good

This is the first thing I thought of, but I didn't post it for the reasons you mentioned. Amazing line though...

I also liked the ending of Saw, but I had to look it up.

"Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not anymore. Game over."
