Mine vote would have to go to Hannibal Lecter's: "I'm having and old friend for dinner." in Silence of the Lambs. Laughed my arse off when I heard that.

Too many pop to mind to pick one, so...

"Laugh it up...Fuzzball." - Empire

"Not that I condone socialism. Or any other ism for that mater. I don't believe in isms, an ism in my opinion is not good. I quote John Lennon. I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me. And he should know, after all, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus and it still wouldn't change the fact I don't own a car." - Ferris

"Gentlemen, there will be NO FIGHTING in the War Room!"
"OK, but if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you are going to have to deal with the Coca-Cola company." - Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Like I said, too many to name....

From "The Prophecy" :

--
Thomas :

Did you ever notice how in the Bible when God needed to punish someone .. make an example, or whenever God needed a killing .. he sent an angel. Have you ever wondered what a creature like that must be like? Your whole existence praising your God but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?


---
Gabriel :

I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mammas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the soul out from little girls, and from now to kingdom come the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

---

Catherine:
Oh my God!

Lucifer:
God! God is love .. I don't love you.

---

and so many more.
Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion - Steven Weinberg.

"SIlence! ... legume" Crank from The City of Lost Children
"Good Morning." The entire essence of Hannibal Lechter boiled down to one line. Oooo. Chills.
"I remark that. Innit? Yeah? Innit the truth? That's the truth, boy, I tell ya. Innit?" Jon Montegna to William H. Macy in Homicide.
"Perhaps someday I could tell you the nature of evil. Would you like that?" Same film.
"So. What've you done for me lately?" Millers Crossing.

Some Sci-Fi classics:

"I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
-- 2001
Not so much the line, but the way it's delivered


"What the hell is this ?!"
-- Alien
Again, it's the delivery

"Der Uzi nine-milimeter"
"..und a phased plasma rifle in der 40-Watt range"
-- Terminator

"I've seen C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate; attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
-- BladeRunner
So evocative, and yet nobody ever explains what these things are

...but surely...

"This could be the begining of a beutiful friendship "
-- Cassablanca
