    I'm sure these two appear due to English preferences - you'd definitely not see them in an American poll:

    3. "What's it all about?" - Alfie (1966)
    7. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - The Italian Job (1969)

    This one's a mystery to me - maybe the flick's really big in the UK?

    6. "No one puts baby in the corner" - Dirty Dancing (1987)
