Wasn't "I'm king of the world" by the bad boy himself James Cagney while holding off the 'coppers' from on top of an oil tank (something like that)...?
"Thankyah-vurah much" - Can't you just hear Elvis say it?
"It could be worse... it could be raining" - Marty Feldman in 'Young Frankenstein' (that's "Frahn-ken-shteen")
"If I held you any closer I'd be behind you" - Groucho Marx
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning" - Robert Duvall in 'Apocolypse Now'
Edit:Sorry, Juan... I took back your mantle piece and leave you with this: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

Righto, Musick! Give that man a see-gar! and a Lewinsky to go with it >That wasn’t the first time that line had been used in a movie. Many years earlier, in a classic Warner Brothers gangster movie [ "White Heat"] tough guy Jimmy Cagney, being chased by police, stood on top of a burning tanker and screamed, “Look at me, ma –I'm the king of the world!"< Just before, I believe, he was blasted to bits by the coppers' machine-gun bullets (it was a short-loved reign). But ashkually®, it was evidently none other than Alexander the Great who first used the phrase (albeit in Classic Greek), "King of the World."

In fact, I do believe that it is I you are mantling with this line, given that I was the first person to mention it in this thread.

Well, I thought about mentioning it after vbq's post, but I was by no means the only one mantled in that post, and did not want to be the only one raising a fuss about it. You, on the other hand, are family, so the gloves are off. We do sincerely hope you enjoyed the show, and remember, no matter who you are, and what you do to live, drive and survive, there still some things that make us all the same.

Well, there's one line I was really 'spectin' one of our Southern Belles to come up with (and especially our pseudo-Southern Belle late of Atlanta ). It just happens to be the closing line from what many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time. The film was even cited earlier on this thread, and by an Upunderer yet! thanks, Max!  "After all, tomorrow is another day..." --Scarlett O'Hara, Gone With the WindBtw, sjmaxq, this quote, according to Bartleby's, is from both the book and movie. However, the Clark Gable quote, "And, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," was tailored for the film by the screenwriter: >The Columbia World of Quotations. 1996. NUMBER: 40050 QUOTATION: I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.... I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t. My dear, I don’t give a damn. ATTRIBUTION: Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949), U.S. novelist. Rhett Butler, in Gone with the Wind, vol. 2, pt. 5, ch. 63 (1936). In the 1939 movie (screenplay by Sidney Howard), the final words of Rhett’s farewell to Scarlett O’Hara are “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” with the emphasis on “give” to soften the impact of the “damn.” The Columbia World of Quotations.

Well, I rest my case, triumphantly. I was RIGHT. The book's version, at least according to your source, IS different to the movie's. The word "Frankly" does not appear in the passage from the book, (again, in your source, I've never read the book, or seen the movie), which makes my assertion that the famous quote is specific to the movie absolutely correct.

And the cartoon world is fair game since they were originally shot as cinematic shorts before migrating to the small screen. So...
