I think good words are good words, but film being a visual and audial medium may make it easier to recall the words.

15. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.
16. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

It depends on the significance the words convey. Some are so classic that they always last no matter what. Others depend. If they are no value by themselves, then it can only be valuable through being said or in some big context.

13. keep your friends close, your enemy closer.
14. Money and friend, oil and water.

The advantage of film quotes is that they include delivery (intonation, inflection, accent, etc) and are therefore probably slightly more memorable.

11. When doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.
12. The Dude abides.
