"Nobody is perfect", Some like it hot. For younger folks: In the movie Some Like It Hot, Jack Lemmon’s character Jerry is dressed as a woman and is being pursued by Osgood, who proposes marriage. Trying to end the proposal, Jerry says, "I'm a man!" to which Osgood replies, "Nobody's perfect."
I hate how Victor Fleming showed how he couldn't direct actresses any better than I could pole vault. So her delivery of that line was nauseatingly hammy. I'll bet she hated it, too.
@StefanMyrnes , watch the movie again. Rhett said that, then left. Scarlett goes over to the stairs, sits down, and remembers all the voices of the past telling her where her heart REALLY was: Tara. Then she delivers her line.
@10:25 Chris did not die in a bar fight; he died trying to break up a fight between two men in a fast food restaurant. That's an important distinction. Chris was always looked down upon and labeled by the know-nothing adults as a dead end kid, but he wasn't. He was a good kid and a peacemaker. Through hard work he rose above his troubles and found success only to have his life cut tragically short trying to keep the peace.
“Well, I’m back.”- the last line SamWise Gamgee said when he returned home to his family knowing that his life is completely different now because of the journey he went on and after bidding Frodo goodbye when he, Gandalf, Bilbo, and the elves departed to the Grey Havens, That final line gets me in tears every time and then they keep coming once they walk into the house and Sam closes the door. Making the story feel complete.
Nobody's perfect’-a line so simple, yet so iconic, perfectly captures the charm and humor of Some Like It Hot. Jack Lemmon’s comedic genius and the clever writing created a moment that transcends time, reminding us to embrace imperfections with a wink and a laugh. For younger audiences, it’s a lesson in classic cinema-proof that humor and heart are timeless.
Here are some of my personal favorites: "Son of a bitch stole my line" from A good will Hunting "In case I don't see ya, Good afternoon and good eveening and goodnight." The components of the letter in Incendies The end narration from AI "What are you thinking? How are you feeling? what have we done to each other? what will we do?" from Gone Girl The ending of Arrival The end scene from The sixth sense The end of Black Swan The closing lines of the Hours schindler's list end scene
“I could’ve done more!” Schindler’s List. That’s all I’m saying. Impactful and emotional from Liam Neeson and his Oscar nominated performance from arguably Steven Spielberg’s greatest film ever circa 1993.
I've always thought that, if they wanted to take the story full circle, they could do one that ends with Buzz and Woody (and maybe a few of the other toys) winding up at a yard sale. As the toys are being picked over, you hear a man's voice getting very excited and he buys the toys up. Then a woman says, "Andy, what are you doing? We are supposed to be looking for things for the baby," Andy replies, "I am,"
I would say if there was a Hall Of Fame for movies with iconic closing lines, they would be Chinatown, Wizard Of Oz, Back To The Future, Sunset Boulevard, and Casablanca
"I think this might just be my masterpiece." - Lt Aldo Raine, Inglorious Basterds ... how brilliant is that?!? Also (as people below pointed out), "Nobody's perfect!"
Originally Casablanca was to end with the line "Round up the usual suspects." -- that was enough for an intelligent audience to realize that the French captain had chosen the side of the allies. But since most people are not quick on the pick-up, the producers wanted the final scene above, added.

One of my personal favorites is from In Bruges: “I really really hoped I wouldn’t die.” It’s ambiguous enough to make the audience have to guess if Ray did actually die or not. But it’s also ironically uplifting, seeing that he was suicidal for most of the film, finally managing to find a glimmer of hope and redemption through his friendship with Ken and his romance with Chloe. It’s just too bad he was still in fockin Bruges :P
"I Hate Rock n Roll" spoken by Arnie's real girlfriend from Christine and with all she and their friend and everyone went through with that damned car (literally) who can blame her.
You're saying there are 14 closing lines that are more iconic than, "There's no place like home"? SMDH. I swear mojo does this kinda stuff on purpose to get comments. It worked.
It was so good I legitimately thought it was going to be at number 1 once I got to that point in the video and it wasn’t mentioned in the list beforehand. To see that Charlie Chaplin’s monologue at the end of _The Great Dictator_ isn’t even an honorable mention makes me sad…

The last line of "Ghost" will always give me chills. "The love you feel, you take it with you!". RIP Patrick Swayze
I'd add:
"After all, tomorrow is another day " - Gone With The Wind (how was this one not even on the list??)
"Nobody's Perfect" - Some Like It Hot

I was going to make a comment saying the same thing!
Where’s this, it’s perfect!
Yuppers, those two lines are legendary.
Why isn’t this there??
Cracks me up every time I hear it!🤣
I'm surprised "Gone with the wind," wasn't mentioned on here with "tomorrow is another day!"
I was genuinely expecting that to be number 1.
@@catherineholland9465I literally came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one who thought that.

Frankly my dear I dont give a damn. Best Closing line ever.
@StefanMyrnes , watch the movie again. Rhett said that, then left. Scarlett goes over to the stairs, sits down, and remembers all the voices of the past telling her where her heart REALLY was: Tara. Then she delivers her line.
My favorite is still the breathy "After all, tomorrow is another day" from Gone With the Wind.

Came here to post this. Such an important distinction.

"Rosebud"
Really? No "Nobody's perfect" line? No "Tomorrow is another day" line? Not even in the honorable mentions? Are you crazy??
What about Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day." That about sums up life even after four years of hell.
"DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"
This closing line has been referenced throughout media over the years....
Can we go to the fun side now?

‘Oh Auntie Em, there’s no place like home.’ That line from The Wizard of Oz still gets me ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢

I still can’t believe Henry Hill died a somewhat natural death.

So you're saying that "In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night." of Truman Show is not on this list??! REALLY???
It's a good closing line but I'd give it honorable mention. There are others that are more iconic.
I used the closing line from 'Ferris Bueller" as my yearbook quote in my senior year in high school!
I probably would've had the Maltese Falcon line as the #1!
The last Line from the movie: gone with the wind. Frankly my dear, i don't geven a damn. Classic
Rosebud...
Happy tuesday morning, Rebecca, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

You forgot the closing line in Wreck-It Ralph. It gets me everytime.
Leo's almost prophetic last line as Howard Hughes: "Way of the Future." hinting about his unhappy final days.
Eyes Wide Shut had the greatest last line of all time
So many great movies on this list!
That isn't Ferris Bueller's closing line.
Inglorious bastards is definitely the best
I definitely dont agree with this list. You left off an iconic last line and didnt pick a good pick for number one
"I Hate Rock n Roll" spoken by Arnie's real girlfriend from Christine and with all she and their friend and everyone went through with that damned car (literally) who can blame her.

That is not the last line. Oh! Auntie Em! I promise never to leave home again.
@patriciafeehan7732 that's not correct. They even have it in the list at #15.

"He's my brother." Princess Leia to a dumbfounded Han, meaning Luke, Return of the Jedi.

That wasn't the final line. Scarlett Ohara's line: "After all tomorrow is another day." closes out the film.
@@RhaegarTargaryen1st ahh your right I had forgotten.
What is wrong with you? The number ONE is Gone with the wind, "tomorrow is another day".
