"Luke, I am your father!"

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

"I can't let you do that, Dave."

And amusingly it's not "Luke", it's "No, I am your father"! One of the most commonly misremembered quotes in film history.

True, i went of memory. It's been a long time I've seen the movie.

First I know, second and third I don't have a singel clue and the fourth I have heard but I can't place it.

Second is Trainspotting and third is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Fourth is Batman (the one with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson). It's Joker's line.

That explains it, while I haven't seen it. I'm in enough Batman circles to have heard it somewhere.
