    My favorite ending line isn't even spoken. It's Walter Matthau, at the end of 1974's "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." He's just closed the door on a suspect, hears a sound, and gives a look as he opens the door again. The look he gives tells you he's solved the crime and the rest is just details. It's the most creative last ten seconds of a movie ever, and my favorite closing line.
    I also loved the final line in the Clint Eastwood movie "Unforgiven." Again, it is not spoken, but is presented in written form, with a quiet guitar motif playing over a scene of Clint Eastwood removing his hat and paying his last respects to his buried wife: "Some years later, Mrs. Ansonia Feathers made the arduous journey to Hodgeman County to visit the last resting place of her only daughter. William Munny had long since disappeared with the children... some said to San Francisco where it was rumored he prospered in dry goods. And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition." The last spoken line is pretty good too: "You better bury Ned right. You better not cut up nor otherwise harm no wh*res. Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of b!tches."
    I agree with others who mentioned Princess Bride's "As you wish," spoken by Peter Falk to his grandson as the movie closes. As a man with 11 grandchildren, that one pulls at my heartstrings every time.

      You've conflated the opening and ending. The ending goes: You just listen to the Pork-Chop Express and take his advice on a stormy night, when the lightning's crashin', the thunder's roarin', and the rain's comin' down in sheets thick as lead. Remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says "Gimme your best shot, pal. I can take it."

    Glad "King Kong" made the list. Loved it since I was 12. Watched it plenty of times during my time in middle school. Saw the Peter Jackson remake in theaters and loved it so much. Loved "Casablanca" since middle school as well.
    Another honorable mention: "Tomorrow is another day." from "Gone with the Wind".

    1933’s ‘King Kong’ is still one of the best Hollywood movies ever made.
    “It was beauty who killed the beast.”
