ATLANTA (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – You know a line in a movie is good when people still repeat it years after the film comes out.

Turner Classic Movies has compiled a list of the “10 Best Comedy Lines From Classic Movies” featuring screen gems from funny folks like Mel Brooks, Peter Sellers, and John Belushi.

Zingers that made the cut include...

  • “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room,” said by Peter Sellers in the 1964 cult classic, Dr. Strangelove.

  • John Belushi’s memorable 1978 Animal House line, “Over? Did you say ‘over?’ Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!”

  • Mel Brooks’ 1981 one-liner, “It’s good to be king,” from History Of The World, Part 1.

  • And, of course, “I’ll have what she’s having” – the infamous line from 1989’s When Harry Met Sally, right after Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in a deli.
