Hah ! A wide range of answers here. Many I thought of (most of lizacarlson's list) and a few I totally forgot (I'll be back, luke I am your father") etc. Awesome stuff. I guess it depends on our age and what we have seen. What about

"Yo Adrian, I did it!"

I have to say though, there are few lines that can be quoted that almost every person would know. The terminator lines are like that but only if you use the accent I think.

Gone with the wind, Casablanca, The Sixth Sense, and the Star Wars Line are the ones that seem to be that definitive. Great answers, I am a movie buff so I know them all so far except (I'm ashamed to say the When Harry Met Sally Line and the Reese Witherspoon line in Freeway). Thank you all. and to everyone else, let's keep them coming.
