The thread on Oscar Wilde made me think of some of the great lines in literature and in the movies. Perhaps I'm showing my age but the dialogue on some of those old TCM movies was really great, and none greater than "Casablanca" which is so stuffed with miracle one-liners and snappy dialogue it's no wonder it tops so many polls.

My personal favourite:
Lister: "Maybe we should drop the defensive shields?"
Kryten: "A superlative suggestion sir, with only two drawbacks: one, we don't have any defensive shields and two, we don't have any defensive shields. I know that, technically, that's only one drawback, but it was such a big one I thought I'd mention it twice"
