2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
Odd. I love that movie to the point where I name my computer "Hal" or laptop "Sal" but I would not have picked out that quote as one of the greatest quotes of all time.
"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"
Once, I even replaced all of the Windows sounds with 2001 movie sound clips.
I though I was being original when I named my computer HAL,never used the SAL name though.
(Interesting bit of trivia: The phrase "My God, it's full of stars" was not a part of the film 2001, but was a part of the novel. In the novel, the "star gate" monolith was found on the surface of Saturn's moon Japetus (or Iapetus), rather than floating in space near Jupiter. As Bowman flies over the monolith, it suddenly changes from a towering slab to an infinite tunnel. As this happens, he utters the final phrase: "The thing's hollow! It goes on forever, and... oh My God, it's full of stars!")
My favorite actor in the sequel was John Lithgow. He played the scientist Dr. Walter Curnow, who built the Discovery.
“I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that Dave.”

That line gives me chills every time!
At our house, we have CPU’s called Hal, Sal and laptops Floyd and Chandra.
Not sure but I think its: “I’m afraid I can’t do that Dave” in response to “Open the pod bay door, Hal.”
