Keep in mind that this survey compiled responses from the British public (which explains alot of the foreign films and also how popular movies get their due; yay no silent films!).

"No Luke, I am your father" at anything other than 1 = fail.

**The_Meach** · 26 Jun 2007, 09:46 PM

SW was the only series to have more than one scene but how the Death Star blowing up is higher than "Obi-Wan never told you about your father," is really puzzling.

**MechDeus** · 26 Jun 2007, 09:49 PM

12: The Deer Hunter: The prisoners play Russian roulette

That's the only scene from that movie I've watched, just because I happened to come across it while flipping channels and then kept going when it was over.

I'm also glad a Baz Luhrmann film made it on there.

Call me when they include porno's.

**Will** · 26 Jun 2007, 11:49 PM

Why they don't have Roddy Piper and Keith David beating the fucking shit out of each other in They Live......I don't know.

That line is from The Empire Strikes Back.

The most famous lines from A New Hope are: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." and "May the Force be with you." I'm surprised those didn't beat out the Death Star blowing up.
