The Crying Game, of course.
Is Gone With the Wind (the movie) known for more than burning a backlot set and a swear word?

When I first read the book, I was still young enough (13) to get off on that scene. It’s a lot more icky now, of course.
Quick, name a passage from Handel’s Messiah that isn’t The Hallelujah Chorus.
Few people have heard Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells” beyond the part that was used as The Exorcist theme.
“Karn Evil 9” by Emerson, Lake & Palmer is by far their most epic song, but most people have only heard the radio edit that starts with “Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends…” Come to think, most people probably don’t remember anything beyond that.
We like sheep!
The sentence “It was a dark and stormy night” from Edward Bulwark-Lytton’s 1830 novel “Paul Clifford” is much parodied, especially in the “Peanuts” comic strip.
Seriously, who could forget Boy George’s rendition of the title song?
She don’t eat meat but she sure likes the bone. 
To almost everyone Five Easy Pieces is the sandwich ordering scene.
Sex with sheep is fun! No, wait, hang on. I think I have this mixed up a bit.
Most people don’t know the name or lyrics of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple, but the guitar riff is unforgettable.
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining: “Here’s Johnny!” You can count the blood gushing out of the elevator, if you want to.
Mr. Burns: That’s odd. Usually the blood gets off at the second floor.
Anyone in the US over the age of 8 can recognize Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein monster, or Bela Lugosi as Dracula, but I’ll bet not a lot of people have actually seen the iconic Universal films all the way through.
Layla by Derrick and the Dominos would have been long forgotten if not for the jam at the end.
Well, I think “All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.” is really memorable, including the wife flipping through the pages.
“What does God need with a starship?”
Beat me to it! I’ll add “For unto us a child is born,” in which Handel tells us he hired a really good lawyer. A wonderful counselor.
Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. Most people know the opening theme, and that’s it. It’s the Also Sprach Zarathustra of the piano repertoire.
Even people who have never seen *Aliens *know the only way to be sure. Der Ritt der Walküren (The Ride of the Valkyries) is mostly associated with Apocalypse Now, or one of its homages and not the opera, and Kilgore’s “I love the smell of napalm in the morning” has become a much tortured meme.
And speaking of Wagner - most people won’t think about Lohengrin when they hear “Treulich geführt”.
And, btw, “Winter is coming”.
Pulp Fiction has several, but I’d go with the hypodermic needle.
Does anyone here remember Blake Edwards’ SOB? It really felt like the movie was built around Julie Andrews exposing her breasts.
