Best OPENING Line to a Movie

Yes, in reality it's not.

But somehow that car scene up to the freeze frame leading up to that 'opening' line and youth flashback IMO serves more of a prelude of the film (recall that we the viewers don't know anything yet), hence I consider that flashback and line above to be the opening line of the movie.

At the end of the day though, and I hope we agree on this, that line is a classic.

1. Rosebud. - Citizen Kane
2. I was 12 or 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. - Stand By Me
3. Oh f**k! F**k! - Four Weddings and a Funeral
4. Hello. My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump. You want a chocolate? - Forrest Gump
5. I will tell you of William Wallace. Historians from England will say I'm a liar.
But history is written by those who hang heroes.
6. Please sir, can I have some more? - Oliver
7. The hills are alive with the sound of music. - The Sound of Music
8. There's two types of people in the world, winners and losers. - Little Miss Sunshine
9. All right, Curly. Enough's enough. You can't eat the venetian blinds. I just had'em installed on Wednesday. - Chinatown

"Call me Ishmael" (particularly the line as spoken by Richard Basehart in the 1956 Moby Dick film)
