**Super Troopers**! License and registration… chicken fucker! Say car Ram-Rod. It is? Time to stop now? Mac? The lice hate the sugar. You’re not Mexican? Do I look like a cat to you boy? Am I jumpin’ around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE? How you feelin’ there, Mac? Good enough… to fuck… your mother! What are you going to do with ten million dollars, and you can’t say buy the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bear… uh… bearfucker, do you need assistance? It’s really funny, Cap! It’s Afghanistanimation. There was a time when we’d take a guy like you in the back and beat you with a hose. Now you’ve got your God-damned unions. Cap’n… you know I’m not a pro-union guy. ---

I know it’s going to be an outlier, but _[The Castle](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826/)_ gets a lot of airtime in our house: Hows the serenity? The faster you go, the more you see. You could open a shop! This is going straight to the pool room. He’s dreaming!! The whole vibe of the thing. Dad reckons fishing is 10% brains and 95% muscle, the rest is just good luck. ---

_Heathers_. “Hey Ram, doesn’t this cafeteria have a ‘No Fags Allowed’ rule?” “Well they, uh, seem to have an open door policy for assholes though, don’t they?” “Grow up Heather, bulimia’s so '87.” “Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?” “If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn’t be a human being. You’d be a game-show host.” “Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count.” “Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Theresa?” “My son’s a homosexual, and I love him. I love my dead gay son.” “Wonder how he’d react if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse.” “Football season is over, Veronica. Kurt and Ram had nothing left to offer the school except for date rapes and AIDS jokes.” ---

I came in here to mention _Fletch_, but I see that **woodstockbirdybird** beat me to the punch. Back in my college days in the late 80s/early 90s, my friends and I would quote from it constantly. A few of my favorites not already mentioned: “Well, now _I_ know that and _you_ know that, but somebody’s bucking for a promotion. Must be that pederast Hanorhan…” “You know I came this close to buying this place. Then I found out Hopalong Cassidy killed himself here. Bow and arrow. Very weird.” “What are you, doped up now?” “Don’t talk to me like that, assface. I don’t work for you yet.” “Ah - love what you’ve done with the garage. Must’ve cost you hundreds.” “Utah? What’s that?” “It’s wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You’ve seen pictures.” “Sugar, Mr. Poon?” “No, never, never.” “What kind of a name is Poon, anyway?” “Comanche Indian.” “C’mon, Frank. Say yes. I’ll buy you some new deodorant.” “Now, Marvin, you and your wife, Velma, are currently alive?” “Boy, what in THE hell is the matter with you?” “Look - defenseless babies!” (confused dog sound) “Oldest trick in the book.” “Here you go. Apply the difference to next month’s balance. And keep ten dollars for yourself, get yourself a nice piece of ass.” ---

_Withnail & I_ We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now! I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze. I want something’s flesh. Then the fucker will rue the day! I mean to have you even if it must be burglary. There is, you’ll agree, a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ oh, so very special about a firm, young carrot. Mmmm, excuse me I feel like a pig shat in my head. We’ve gone on holiday by mistake. The greatest decade in the history of mankind is coming to an end and as Presuming Ed here has so consistently pointed out, we have failed to paint it black. ---

**Fandango**. Gawd I love this movie and in large part because of the quotables… You mooned my parents? They’re from new Jersey, Phil. They’ve seen butts before. You are the most irresponsible person I have ever met. Well, somebody had to be. Where’s your car? You’re drinkin’ it! There’s nothing wrong with going nowhere, son. It’s a privilege of youth. Well, we’re not youths anymore, Peter Pan! (Waggener announces he’s getting married) Does that mean I get my fondue set back? You called your wedding off after talking to her dad? She looks fast Truman. Yeah, it’s the stripes! Then she had her utopian tubes removed. No, that’s fallopian darlin’. Fallopian? Them’s books of the bible silly… first and second fallopians! They’re airheads Gardener. Bimbos. Little girls with little brains. Well we’re not trying to expand their MINDS Phillip so don’t get picky on me. So what do you boys want to do now? Are ya eighteen? Only if it’s neat. Well, it felt like a snake. No, no, no… it felt like a rattler. We could see the Donkey Lady! We could get diseases. So, boys, what’ll be for breakfast? Barbecue? (Dry heaves) Or chili? (Vomits) Chili it is! Where are we? The ass of nowhere. Quick son, we need you to be an apostrophe. Oh, hey, I gotta tell you about my dream. You’re gonna get into this man. This is great. No, really, you see like the one thing I wanna do before I join the cosmos is to hang glide off of Mt. Everest. Yeah, but wait, this is the best part - NAKED That’s one small step for a Groover, boys… one giant leap for weenie-kind! Angels! Como se llama yo mama… ---

Another vote for _Casablanca_, although here in the UK lots and lots of quotes from Monty Python (films and TV show) tend to arise in everyday conversation, at least among quite a high percentage of the population. I don’t think _Spinal Tap_ is the most quotable movie, but **‘…goes all the way up to eleven’** has to be one of the most quoted and referenced lines in movie history. Also, while I do occasionally meet someone to whom Python references mean nothing, I’ve never met _anyone_ who doesn’t get the ‘goes up to eleven’ reference. ---
