F is for Famous Lines

The AFI's list of the Top 100 Movie Quotes is out. Divorced from their movie's title, how many of them can you place? (It's like a massive version of the movie quotes game we were playing a few months ago.)

Er, if I were to answer it'd probably be cheating, since I actually watched most of the AFI special when it aired a couple of days ago. :D And good grief, don't ask questions like "What are your favorite movie lines" --- you KNOW that way leads to madness. And endlessly long lists.

"Soylent Green is people!" doesn't give away the name of the movie at all, eh? :)
