The greatest final movie lines of all time. Number seven will amaze you! (is that click-baity enough?)

 Movie dialogue can be revelatory. It can be weird and otherworldly.  It can be funny, or hyper-realistic. It can be downright bad. When dialogue works, it makes the entire movie work.  nice.  And sometimes a single line can upend the entire way we feel about the movie. In fact, some movies are nearly dominated by their final line. 

For your enjoyment, as far as This Couch Thing is concerned, these are the greatest final lines of movies of all time.
