10 Best Comeback Lines In Cinema History

1. "You Can't Handle The Truth!" €“ A Few Good Men (1992)

You want the number 1 comeback line in this list? You want the top comeback line!? Well, here it is; I€™m not going to make a fuss about it. I think you€™re entitled to it. And I don€™t have the same hidden temper that Colonel Jessup does. In A Few Good Men (1992), Lt. Daniel Kaffee finally finds justice, teasing an answer out of Jessup in the courtroom, but Colonel Jessup goes down swinging. When Kaffee asks for the truth, Jessup insists he can€™t handle the truth! It€™s a massive haymaker followed by a number of jabs in the brilliant speech that follows. Of course, while Jessup wins this battle, he loses the war because of it. Like I said, sometimes it€™s better to keep your mouth shut. The setting, the set up, and the delivery of this line contribute to make this the best comeback line in the history of cinema. Everything about it is unforgettable. The scene pulls the audience in and it culminates in this brilliant comeback line. It€™s the climax of the film; it€™s the peak of the film€™s intensity, so it deserves the spot at number 1. Call these the top 10 comeback lines in cinema history. I€™m serious, so don€™t call me Shirley. They are big! So let me know: does your list sound anything like this? If you don€™t agree, that€™s, like, your opinion, man. But I€™m writing here. So if you can€™t handle this list, frankly, I don€™t give a damn. How do you like those apples?
