    In the original The Terminator:

    Mexican Gas Station Attendant: "[The boy] says a storm is coming."

    Sarah Connor (squinting into the distance, thinking, as we are, of the future destruction of civilization): "I know."

    How about Full Metal Jacket:
    “I’m So Happy That I Am Alive, in One Piece and Short. I’m in a World of Shit, Yes. But I Am Alive. And I Am Not Afraid.”

    Or Psycho:
    "I'm Not Even Gonna Swat That Fly. I Hope They Are Watching. They'll See. They'll See and They'll Know and They'll Say, 'Why, She Wouldn't Even Harm a Fly."

    On a different note, probably my all time favorite film, "How Green Was My Valley". How amazing was Roddy McDowell in this?

    Haha! Yes! I love yelling this. No one seems to know what movie it's from, but I think it's one of the funniest lines in all cinema history. Well, at least coming from Heston anyway.

    The list in the article linked in the OP is a good one - I'd quibble with A Clockwork Orange, though. For all the film has some nice bits, it is fundamentally flawed less by its badly dated visuals, more by the fact that it omits entirely the epilogue from the book, thus missing a vital chunk of the satire. I've been told the american publishers of the novel also cut the epilogue in order to provide an upbeat ending - don't know if this is an urban myth, though.
    If in doubt - overdress.
