My favorite from Duck Soup borrowed from IMDB
Rufus T. Firefly: Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Mrs. Teasdale: Why, he's dead.
Rufus T. Firefly: I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
Mrs. Teasdale: I was with him to the very end.
Rufus T. Firefly: No wonder he passed away.
Mrs. Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Rufus T. Firefly: Oh, I see, then it was murder. Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.
Mrs. Teasdale: He left me his entire fortune.
Rufus T. Firefly: Is that so? Can't you see what I'm trying to tell you? I love you.

Read somewhere that Margaret Dumont, Groucho's foil in many of the movies, was entirely clueless about the humor and couldn't understand what everybody was laughing about.
.......and Midnight Cowboy (I think maybe Dustin Hoffman's best)
He was understated in True Grit?Wayne is too melodramatic in The Searchers. I prefer the more understated performance in Red River, Quiet Man, True Grit, etc.
Point and match.
Searchers would be my pick for best western ever.. and best performance by the Duke. Quiet Man is a RomCom.. a very great one.. but hard to judge acting there. Red River.. another great one for John Wayne.. and really, the two movies could be linked... Wayne plays an older man in RR.. about the age he ends up being in Searchers. The two characters have a lot in common... emotionally.
I would have had Seven Days In May on that list.
The scene with Burt Lancaster and Fredric March is unforgettable.

Great to see that someone else loved Bridge on the River Kwai. That scene at the end where Alec Guinness (long before Obi-Wan) realizes what he has done is one of the great scenes of all-time.
Good god, man (@RU848789 ),
It's a movie thread and you just screwed it up.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Your obvious response should have been, ""Surely you can't be serious!"
To which (and I am sure everybody will get this this) @Knight Shift will retort with the only correct reply.
Don't call me Shirley.
What's my prize?
And I was dead serious.
Roadhouse will be a classic in the 22nd century. Patrick Swayze. Ben Gazzara. Sam Elliott.
Only partial credit as the correct line is...
"I am serious and don't call me Shirley."
And the line I like from Roadhouse is this one..."Be nice. Until it's time to be not nice."
