Favorite movie ads - one-liners

Every now and then the advertising people hit on a memorable line to promote a movie. A few of my favs:

"Be afraid ... be very afraid" (The Fly)

"The coast is toast!" (Volcano)

"The good news is - your dates are here. The bad news is - they're dead!" (Night of the Creeps)

What are some of your favorite movie advertising lines?

I kind of like the one for Auto Focus.

"A day without sex is a day wasted."

(Shame that I am pi$$ing my life away by that standard. )

Its a DVD Movie ad but...

"Who da' man? Yo-da man!"

God that is so awful it hurts. Oh, was this favorite movie ad one liners...

"just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... You can't get there."

Man, what movie tag line was that? I loved that one.

(Edit) Blood Beach (1981)

That's my all-time favorite.

I also liked Predator 2 (the line, not the movie):

He's in town...with a few days to kill.

Rejected tag line for 12 Monkeys (really!): "The future of the world is in the hands of a man who has none."
