Because imdb.com had the last line from The Winslow Boy as its Quote of the Day today, I thought I'd post my list of the five greatest curtain lines in movie history. (Possible spoilers if you haven't seen the following movies.) I was going to say that they were listed in no particular order, but I just noticed that if you put them all in a row, they seem to tell a story! Let me know what you think:

The Silence of the Lambs: "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
Casablanca: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
The Winslow Boy: "Oh, do you really think so, Miss Winslow? How little you know about men."
Some Like It Hot: "Nobody's perfect."
The Usual Suspects: "And like that...he's gone."
Eyes Wide Shut: "Fuck."
