WE ALL love to steal a great line from the movies.

It could be dads who nick the “I am your father” twist from Empire Strikes Back, wags who think they are the first person to echo Jaws and ask for a “bigger boat” or ladies who love to lighten the mood in a coffee shop with an “I’ll have what she’s having” giggle from When Harry Met Sally.

According to a new survey of film fans, the nation’s favourite movie quote is Scarface’s “Say hello to my little friend”.

But the research for www.Voucher CodesPro.co.uk also revealed that many of us quote a film we’ve never seen, while the second most popular dialogue in the survey is actually a misquote, with Darth Vader’s famous line “No, I am your father” most often repeated as “Luke, I am your father”.

That sits alongside the famously misremembe­red Casablance line of “Play it Again, Sam” where Bogart’s words were actually: “Play it, you played it for her, you can play it for me.”

And who hasn’t reenacted Robert De Niro’s “You talkin’ to me?” line from Taxi Driver or playfully told their other half: “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

It’s time to test your memory of the greatest movie quotes of all time. 1. “It’s a carcharodo­n carcharias.” 2. “You can’t handle the truth.” 3. “If you build it, he will come.” 4. “There’s no place like home.” 5. “Show me the money.” 6. “I’m the king of the world.” 7. “Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty...” 8. “My mama always said ‘Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’” 9. “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” 10. “If we can’t protect the earth, we’ll be damn well sure to avenge it.” 11. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” 12. “Rosebud.” 13. “Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?” 14. “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” 15. “Now these are very silly little boots, Jones. And this is a very silly little dress. And, um, these are... absolutely enormous panties.” 16. “Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?” 17. “Go back to England and tell them there that Scotland’s daughters and her sons are yours no more. Tell them Scotland is free.” 18. “Choose life.” 19. “Charlie don’t surf !” 20. “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.” 21. “There will be three. We’ll call them Tom, Dick, and Harry...If the goons find one, we’ll move into the other.” 22. “To infinity. And beyond.” 23. “Now, you’ve got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.” 24. “Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.” 25. “I am serious…and don’t call me Shirley.” 26. “Hasta la vista, baby.” 27. “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” 28. “Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me. Aren’t you?” 29. “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” 30. “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’”
