My favorite of the movie with Lector having an appearance is Manhunter, even though his part is smaller in it.
More quotes:
"We all got it comin' kid.". Will Munny in Unforgiven
"I'd say she had marvelous judgement if not particularly good taste.". The telepathic dog Blood in the movie A Boy And His Dog, anybody who has seen it will get the joke.
"Reasoning with a woman is like eating soup with a fork.". Drive In, the phrase can also be used by women to describe men. LOL

Dirty Harry - "I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?"
Death in Venice, Luchino Visconti
Thomas Mann
“He loved the sea for deep-seated reasons: the hardworking artist's need for repose, the desire to take shelter from the demanding diversity of phenomena in the bosom of boundless simplicity, a propensity—proscribed and diametrically opposed to his mission in life and for that very reason seductive—a propensity for the unarticulated, the immoderate, the eternal, for nothingness. To repose in perfection is the desire of all those who strive for excellence, and is not nothingness a form of perfection?”
“The fruit of solitude is originality, something daringly and disconcertingly beautiful, the poetic creation. But the fruit of solitude can also be the perverse, the disproportionate, the absurd and the forbidden.”
“For an important intellectual product to be immediately weighty, a deep relationship or concordance has to exist between the life of its creator and the general lives of the people. These people are generally unaware why exactly they praise a certain work of art. Far from being truly knowledgeable, they perceive it to have a hundred different benefits to justify their adulation; but the real underlying reason for their behavior cannot be measured, is sympathy.”
“...which seemed to hover in a limbo between creation and decay...”

Casablanca (1942) is loaded with great lines...
"Here's looking at you, kid..." - Rick
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." - Rick
"Round up the usual suspects.." - Louis
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship..." - Rick
My absolute favorite bit, however, is the following scene...not a quote, exactly, but still funny as hell..

From the film Withnail and I. Littered with memorable quotes, here's a short selection:
“BALLS! We want the finest wines available to humanity. We want them HERE, and we want them NOW.”
“I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”
"All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50s each. That means we'll miss out on Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning"
"There must and shall be aspirin, or I shall die, here, on this f***ing mountainside! "
"We've gone on holiday by mistake"
