Movies & More: Great Sci-Fi Lines

If the command “Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!” is one of the all-time memorable taglines for a sci-fi film, it’s hardly the only one. Following are few of my favorites. See if you can guess the origins of each. 1. “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” 2. "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.” 3. “The ship will automatically destruct in ‘T’ minus five minutes.” 4. “I’ve just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It’s going to go 100 percent failure in 72 hours”/Dan Webster, Movies & More. More here.

Question: What is a favorite sci-fi movie line of yours?
