Most quotable movie

What about Real Genius?

Let’s just take a step back. No, I was wrong, I’m sorry, take a step forward. Now, take a step back. Step forward. Back. And then we’re cha-cha-ing!

*It’s a moral imperative. *

*Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Susan: A girl’s gotta have her standards. *

*I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, “… I drank what?” *

*Would you qualify that as a launch problem or a design problem? *

*It’s coming? Ha! It’s not even breathing hard. *

Well, this really puts a perspective on things…:wink:

“We’re on a mission from God.”

“Well, then I guess you’re up shit creek!”

“Excuse me, do you have a Miss Piggy?”

“Got my Cheeze Whiz, boy?”

“How much for your wife? The little girl? Sell me your children!”

“I hate Illinois Nazis!”

“Orange Whip?”

“1060 W. Addison? That’s Wrigley Field.”

“Oh we got both kinds, Country and Western!”

“No sir, the Mayor no longer dines here. Uh, he’s dead, sir.”

“We’ll take four fried chickens. And a Coke.”

“It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
-Hit it!”

From A Clockwork Orange… (some adapted for social use)

What’s it going to be then? There was me and me droogies, we were in the Korova milkbar making up our razzodocks what to do.

It would sharpen ya up and make ya ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

Can ye spare some cutter, me brothers?

Men on the moon and men circlin’ round the earth and ain’t no attention paid to earthly law and order no more.

Come and get one in the yarbles, if thou hast any yarbles, thou eunuch jelly thou.

Those are just from the first twenty minutes.

“Can’t you see this horse loves me?”
“I had a gal do that to me, iIt didn’t make her my wife.”

“What’s all this, then?”

“We’re gonna give you a fair trial, followed by a first class hangin’.”

“Calvin Stanhope. But my mother used to call me ‘Slick’.”

“Now, I don’t wanna kill you, and you don’t wanna be dead.”

Too much fucking perspective.

Has anyone mentioned Aliens yet?

No love for The Outlaw Josey Wales?

Get ready, little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast.

Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.

When I get to likin’ someone, they ain’t around long.
I notice when you get to dislikin’ someone they ain’t around for long neither.

Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?

We thought about it for a long time, “Endeavor to persevere.” And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

I didn’t surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender.

There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life… or death. It shall be life.

Dyin’ ain’t much of a living, boy.

This boy was brought up in a time of blood and dying and never questioned a bit of it. He never turned his back on his folks or his kind. I rode with him… and I got no complaints. The blue bellies will give ya a better burial than I can, boy.

How did you know which one was goin’ to shoot first?
Well, that one in the center: he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin’ hurry. And the one second from the left: he had scared eyes, he wasn’t gonna do nothin’. But that one on the far left: he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move.
How 'bout the one on the right?
Never paid him no mind; you were there.
I could have missed.

I’m an Indian, all right; but here in the nation they call us the “civilized tribe”. They call us “civilized” because we’re easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years.

Most of the quotes come from comedies around my friends. I think probably Anchorman or 40 Year Old Virgin are the popular ones at this moment.

55 posts before we got Ghostbusters? You people are sick. Sick!

Some of the answers in this thread are… peculiar.

It’s pretty much faded from the forefront public consciousness now, but I can think of few movies that were, at their height of popularity, more quoted and more referenced by lots of people and in lots of contexts than the Austin Powers movies.

I came in to say this, but now I realize The Wizard of Oz blows it away, and Casablanca has got to be right up there.

Honorable mention to Rocky Horror Picture Show, but a lot of people don’t get the references, and anyway, some of the most memorable lines and things the audience says to the screen–not sure that should count.

I’ll throw in the black keys for free.

Fix the cigarette lighter!

Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don’t fail us now!

No ma’am. We’re musicians.

This is glue. Strong stuff.

Yeah I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. How it was so immensely popular and I didn’t know a single person who didn’t like the movies. A year after Goldmember, everyone just forgot about them. I never hear any mention of them at all anymore.

Aside from the couple of posts referencing Casablanca, the rest of all y’all are horribly misinformed. I mean, I knew significant portions of that movie’s dialogue years before I’d ever seen the show! If that doesn’t make it the most quotable, nothing does.

This place is full of vultures, vultures everywhere!
You must remember this/A kiss is just a kiss/A smile is just a smile/ The fundamental things apply/As Time Goes By
Yvonne - “Will I see you tonight?” Rick - “I never make plans that far ahead.”
I like to think you killed a man. It’s the romantic in me.
Strasser - “What nationality are you?” Rick “I’m a drunkard.”
We all try. You succeed.
I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray; you wore blue.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Ilsa - “Was that cannon fire, or was it my heart pounding?” Rick - “Ah, that’s the new German 77.”
Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time.
Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Lazlo, or were there others in between? Or aren’t you the kind that tells?
It will take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca. And the Germans have outlawed miracles.
Such much?
I suggest that you ask your wife.
You’l have to think for both of us, for all of us.

And so on.

I’ve been using “Mother pus bucket!” because I teach HS, and when my Frustrated Language center kicks in and starts using what I’ve heard others use, I have something to change to halfway through.

This week I heard two girls only half-jokingly use “pus bucket!” I’m sure they got it from me. I don’t think they know where it’s from.

My personal vote is for Groundhog Day. I saw this again recently with others, and had to stop quoting along with it so I wouldn’t be a pain. There’s so much!

What About Bob?

Good morning, Gil!
Dr. Marvin? Dr. Leo Marvin?
I’m in mourning for my lost childhood.
Your dad’s…kind of fun.
Baby steps!
I’ll be quiet…I’ll be peace!
Mmmmm…mmmmmm…mmmmmm!
If I can fake it, then I don’t have it.
[singing]Your death therapy cured me, you genius!

Quoting movies is pretty much routine for me and my husband – if it weren’t for movie quotes, I sometimes wonder if we would have any conversation at all! In addition to many of the abovementioned movies, we find **Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid **to be a source that often supplies the perfect phrase:

“Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?”
“Who are those guys?”
“Next time I say let’s go someplace like Bolivia, let’s go someplace like Bolivia!”
“The way I figure it, we can fight or we can give. If we give we go to jail.”
“If they ask us to stay, we’ll leave.”
“I won’t watch you die.”
" hock a lugie, spit, bingo!

Et cetera. Plus you can sing Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head!

How about Fargo?:

Where is pancakes house?

I need unguent.

Oh for Pete’s sake, he’s fleeing the interview!

I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper.

Ooh, I think I’m gonna barf. Well, that passed - and now I’m hungry again.

Oh! How could I have forgotten that one!

Especially since I’ve been known to use it from time to time…:wink:

In our house it is Trading Places:

“is dat your purse?”
“can’t we have both?”
“as you might find in a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich”
“what is ya? ignorant?”
“in Philadelphia, it is worth fifty bucks”
“all because of this terrible, awful Negro”
“one dollar!”
“sure, he went to Harvard!”
“turn those machines back on!”
“the phone…in the limo…is busted”
