I have lots of favorite dialogues, but these are all I could think of right now. I will add more next time:
❖❖ "People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy." - Bruce Wayne (Batman Begins)
❖❖ "You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident." - Alfred (Batman Begins)
❖❖ "But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed so you'd be spared your pain." - Ducard (Batman Begins)
❖❖ "Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better." -Rachel Dawes (Batman Begins)
❖❖ Commodus to his father Marcus before murdering him (Gladiator):
Marcus: Are you ready to do your duty for Rome?
Commodus (smiling): Yes, father.
Marcus: You will not be Emperor.
Commodus (smile turns to bewilderment): Which wiser, older man is to take my place?
Marcus: My powers will pass to Maximus to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a Republic again.
Commodus: Maximus?
Marcus: My decision disappoints you?
Commodus (fighting back tears): You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues – wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, Father. Ambition, that can be a virtue when it drives us to excel; resourcefulness; courage, perhaps not on the battlefield but there are many forms of courage; devotion, to my family, to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then, it was as if you didn’t want me to be your son.
Marcus: Oh, Commodus, you go to far.
Commodus (through tears): I search the faces of the Gods for ways to please you... to make you proud... and I can never do it. One kind word -- one full hug where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight -- would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is it in me you hate so much? My eyes are your eyes. My hands are your hands. All I have ever wanted was to live up to you. Caesar. Father.
Marcus (kneels in front of Commodus, arms raised): Commodus, your faults as a son is my failure as a father.
Commodus: Why does Maximus deserve what I could never have? -- Why do you love his eyes over mine? -- I would butcher the whole world -- if you would only love me!
(he then murders his aging father)

❖❖ "I knew a man once who said, 'Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back. " - Maximus (Gladiator)
❖❖ "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." - Vito Corleone to Johnny Fontane (The Godfather)
❖❖ Michael Corleone to Kay (The Godfather):
Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?
