"Poll Suggestion:" The Greatest Opening Line
An opening line often defines the following impression you get from one single quote in the beginning of the movie and that’s because it’s essential to make it memorable.
Which one do you favor the most?

conan 1982
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

There is already a very similar poll:
https://www.imdb.com/poll/4rIL-VSrsd0/
You could perhaps make your poll a "Part 2" and remove the overlapping options?
Also, I don't think it's necessary to have spoiler tags for the opening lines, but that's your call.

The opening line FROM Patton in the movie is great: About dumb bastards dying for their country, but technically, the fist line is "Be seated"
