“You want the truth, you can’t handle the truth”. That has to the the top 5 all time famous movie lines up there with “luke I am your father”.

A few good men was on BBC America tonight. Anytime I see it on I’m glued to the tube.

I believe the exchange goes like this:

Vader: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."

Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."

Vader: "No, I am your father."

But no, I don't think "You can't handle the truth" is the most famous movie line of all time - or even close to it. It may not even be Jack's most famous line. "Here's Johnny!" has to be up there somewhere.

The “I’m gonna rip out your eyes & piss in your dead skull. You fricked with the wrong marine!” Line?

Yes. Yes it is.

All great lines.

Most would claim that’s the top one from Star Wars but I’d say the most quoted is simply

“May the Force be with you”

Just to add something new to the thread, from Wizard of Oz

“Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore”
“There’s no place like home”

I actually agree. "You can't handle the truth" might be the most popular line of all-time. Just familiar and iconic. Almost thirty years old.

Other stuff like E.T. phone home, need a bigger boat, offer he couldn't refuse, Play it Sam, I don't give a damn, smell of Napalm in the morning, etc...all great, but I say Jack owns the title for now.
