25 Most Memorable Lines in 2002 ( not in order of preference )
(lifted from us.imdb.com)

1. Devil’s Backbone
Narrator: “What is a ghost? An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over? An instant of pain perhaps? Something dead which appears at times alive. A sentiment suspended in time... like a blurry photograph... like an insect trapped in amber.”

2. Spider-Man
Aunt May: You're not Superman, you know!

3. Panic Room
Meg: [on loud speaker] Get out of my house!
Sarah: Say Fuck!
Meg: [on loud speaker] FUCK!
Sarah: Mum! "Get the fuck out of my house"!
Meg: [on loud speaker] Get the FUCK out of my house!

4. Gosford Park
Mrs. Wilson: I am the perfect servant - I have no life.

5. Minority Report
[John rolls a ball across the 'scrubbing' surface. Before it falls off, Danny catches it.]
John Anderton: Why'd you catch that?
Danny Witwer: Because it was going to fall.
John Anderton: You sure?
Danny Witwer: Yeah.
John Anderton: But it didn't. Because you caught it. The fact that you stopped it from falling doesn't mean it was going to fall.

6. Signs
[To Merrill]
Father Graham: You just have to ask yourself what kind of person are you. Are you the type that sees signs? Sees miracles? Or do you think that people just get lucky? Maybe there are no coincidences.

7. Sexy Beast
Don: Yes, yes, yes, yes!



8. A Beautiful Mind
Alicia: How big is the universe?
Nash: Infinite.
Alicia: How do you know?
Nash: I know because all the data indicates it's infinite.
Alicia: But it hasn't been proven yet.
Nash: No.
Alicia: You haven't seen it.
Nash: No.
Alicia: How do you know for sure?
Nash: I don't, I just believe it.
Alicia: It's the same with love I guess.

9. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Aunt Voula: What do you mean he don't eat no meat!!? ... That's ok I make Lamb.

10. Unfaithful
Connie Sumner: Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life.

11. Lilo & Stitch
Lilo: Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.

12. Apocalypse Now Redux
Civilian: Terminate with extreme prejudice.

13. About A Boy
Will: I'd be the worst possible Godfather. I'd probably drop her on her head at her christening. I'd forget all her birthdays until she was 18. Then I'd take her out and get her drunk. And, let's face it, quite possibly try and sleep with her.

14. About A Boy
Ali: [Shouting] She's not keen on him! She's keen on me!

15. Road to Perdition
John Rooney: There are only murderers in this room! Michael! Open your eyes! This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.

16. Changing Lanes
Gavin Banek: Sorry, better luck next time.

17. Red Dragon

19. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: The 20th Anniversary

20. The Eye
Dead boy: Big Sister, have you seen my report card?

21. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Dumbledore: It is not our abilities that tell us what we truly are ... it is our choices.

22. Gangs of New York
Amsterdam Vallon: Lord, place the steel of the Holy Spirit in my spine and the love of the Virgin Mary in my heart.

23. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Gandalf the White: And I come back to you now -- at the turn of the tide.

24. Insomnia
Det. Ellie Burr: A good cop can't sleep because he's missing a piece of the puzzle. And a bad cop can't sleep because his conscience won't let him.

25. Shallow Hal
Rosemary: Hal, do me a favor and stop saying that I'm pretty and that I'm not fat, ok? Cause it makes me uncomfortable.
Hal: umm, ok. Do you have a problem with compliments?
Rosemary: Look, I know what I am and I know what I'm not. I'm the girl who, you know, gets really good grades and who's not afraid to be funny. And I'm the girl who has a lot of friends who are boys and no boyfriends. I'm not beautiful, ok, and I never will be. And I'm fine with that. But when you go around saying I'm something that I'm not, it's just, it's just not nice.
