Favourite movie lines

Gladiator said:
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.


Must say I have always liked this line, not original in any way, but a great line, well delivered.

"I wanted to see exotic Vietnam, the jewel of Southeast Asia. I, uh, I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture, and kill them."

PRIVATE JOKER in Full Metal Jacket (1987)
 
the opening lines from once upon a time in the west. but you really need to watch the full intro for effect with 10 minutes of tension building
