An aside:
Many good lines in movies come from the books from which they were adapted. This makes me hesistant to give the movie the credit, but I suppose the movie is what made the lines memorable.

The lines:
Princess Bride is full of great quotes. One of my favorites is:
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."

I can't believe that not even one Cohen Brothers quote made it onto the list. I) could list many off the top of my head. I'll just stick with The Big Lebowski:

"You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. "

"Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. "

"That rug really tied the room together."
