SO hard to choose, so I'm going to pick 2...

First, "Maltese Falcon."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp7130Bjec4

Second, "The Untouchables."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0RLyxP13o

Hardly definitive, but these are two that jumped out at me.

It's not a very famous movie quote, but one of my favorites is a line Penelope Cruz's character, "Sophia", says in the movie "Vanilla Sky": "Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around."

I think it has to be from The Shawshank Redemption:

Red: narrating Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of s--t and came out clean on the other side.

Though the key phrase "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" is at the end of this ''Network'' clip, I have all been fond of Peter Finch's entire rant. It is too bad he received his Oscar posthumously

Two answers as well:

- "I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue" from Airplane!

- "A gun rack? A gun rack? I don't even own 'aah' gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate me owning a gun rack?" from Wayne's World

Okay, someone has to do it:

''Gone With the Wind''

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a d***!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ7z6hpO57c

Had to do it. Southern roots, and all. I'd be remiss if I didn't include this one.

Miracle Max: "Don't rush a miracle man. You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."

Somewhat better than "Inconceivable!", followed up by "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." All from "The Princess Bride."

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Its a bit long, but still the only quote to ever give me chills... Russel Crowe's I Am Gladiator...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFexTO3Dbu0

P.s. Althought Mathew McConaughey's "I love high school girls" is a classic...
