Among the many pleasures of ?The Avengers? is its sharp writing, which includes such lines as ?Hulk, smash,? said by Captain America to the Hulk, or when Hulk says of Loki, ?Puny god.?

Only time will tell if any of the lines from ?The Avengers? will enter into the realm of popular culture in the way that ?Hasta la vista? (from 1991?s ?Terminator 2?) or ?Show me the money!? (from 1996 ?Jerry Maguire?) did. The mega hits in recent years haven?t produced many memorable lines. Do you remember any from ?The Dark Knight? or any of the ?Transformer? films? How about any of the ?Harry Potter? films, or even any of the ?Lord of the Rings? films, let alone anything from the ?Twilight? series.

What are some of the more iconic movie lines out there?

In the photo gallery above are some of the more iconic movie lines of all time.
