"Soylent Green is people."
Mockery aside, the film was incredibly prescient: It predicted the rise of recycling, global warming, assisted suicide, depletion of food supplies, genetic engineering of food, the loss of the middle class, urbanization, the corporatization of farming, reduction of printed matter.. You'd almost think old Chuck was a leftie.

The baby carriage scene from The Untouchables is pretty popular. As is the horse's head scene, and the opening scene (Don Corleone being asked for favors) from The Godfa

All good lines, but the all time done, re-done, over-done, scene is the hallway in a hotel/mansion/haunted house with several doors with folks coming and going in increasingly impossible patterns.
I've noticed it in earlier and earlier films and really wondered about the
original. Must be an early silent. This particular scene is probably one
of the first uniquely film scenes. Man

... which reminds me of the "Do I feel lucky?" speech and "Go ahead, make my day."
And since my brain just won't quit once I get started, let me add:
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"

The MOST repeated scene in recent years, HAS the be the use of "The Clapper."
It seems like every comedy movie has that scene, but it still gets a laugh.
