OP specifically asked for a random line but everybody's posting carefully selected lines.

Mmm no clue what movie this is from.

That's kind of the point though, isn't it?

If I were to post with "Extend the plank!" there's a near zero chance that even fans of the movie, or even the franchise, I'm thinking of will get the movie right. If I instead say "Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise" a normie might guess Star Trek, a true nerd and fan of the franchise will peg that instantly as from Star Trek Generations

Edit: That said, there are several lines in this thread that aren't necessarily only recognizable to fans or people familiar with the movie, but instead just pop culture references.
