Col. Nathan R. JessepJack Nicholson's infamous "You can't handle the truth" line in A Few Good Men has topped a poll of the most memorable movie quotes.

The uttering quickly became a movie favorite after Nicholson barked the line at Tom Cruise in a courtroom in the 1992 film. Second in the poll was "These go to eleven", from 1984's This Is Spinal Tap, followed by Marlon Brando's "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" from 1972's The Godfather.

Rounding out the top five was Tom Cruise's "I feel the need, the need for speed" from Top Gun in 1986, and "Go ahead, make my day" from 1983 Dirty Harry movie Sudden Impact.

The top ten is as follows:

1. A Few Good Men 1992 - "The truth? You can't handle the truth."
2. This Is Spinal Tap, 1984 - "These go to eleven."
3. The Godfather, 1972 - "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
