-Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) in Revenge of the Sith, 2005
In a movie—okay, six movies—filled to the rafters with wildly overblown computer imagery, physics-defying action, headache-inducing explosions and goofy, tin-ear dialogue, George Lucas somehow managed to describe exactly the tragically perverse process of democracy twisting itself into fascism in a scant nine words. He could not have helped the world more had he chiseled them into the Capitol dome marble. (Anthony Pignataro)
