Well, if we can expand our scope to include movies made prior to 1990 (slight exaggeration, I know), we get the. coolest. line. ever–case closed.

“This is my family, I found it all on my own. It’s little… and broken… but it’s still good. Yeh, it’s still good.” - _Lilo and Stitch_

I’d fault _Casablanca_ for having one old line after another except that the lines originated in the film.

I call dibs on your extra points, **DAVEW0071**. Now you’ve got me saying “Top. Men.” over and over to myself in a bureaucratic accent.

(Just don’t ask what a bureaucratic accent is.)

One of my (many) favorite lines has to be:  
\*Conan, what is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!

That is good.\*
