One of the most memorable things about movies, and tv, is dialogue. You can go to your grave knowing all of the best lines of cinema.
Who hasn't spent hours in parking lots of bars, drunk, replaying the dialogue of the classics of Hollywood?
A film can look look gorgeous, but the words, the words make it all come together. Maybe I'm biased.
Great dialogue and memorable quotes are what keep us coming back. Our chance to relive, reenact and be a part of the story.

The Hobbit
"Honestly out of all the hobbit quotes this one from the movie, not the book, gives me the greatest swelling of emotions:"
"Galadriel: Mithrandir, why the halfling?"
"Gandalf: Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? I don't know. Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage." ~ cowabungaboogaloo
