“People will say we’re in love!” Hannibal Lecter to Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs, a reference to a song lyric in Oklahoma!
“You have no idea!” Jeremy Irons’ evil lion character in The Lion King, referring to a line the same actor spoke as Klaus von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune.
Just a slight aside: since hearing Danny Devito as Philoctetes repeat the “Hey! I’m walkin’ here” line in the Disney Hercules movie, I have been trying to remember where I’d heard it before. So thanks for laying that to rest.
My favorite use of the line was in Forrest Gump when Lt. Dan yelled it from his wheelchair.
Re: “No matter where you go, there you are.”
I’ll need a cite for this, please. It’s been ages since I read anything Confucian, but I don’t recall anything like that among his works.
“Can we do that again?” --spoken after a car chase that’s gone badly wrong, or a plane crash, or some similar transportation mishap (Calvin & Hobbes on the sled, etc.)
“{He/she/it/something terrible} is behind me, isn’t {he/she/it etc.}” The monster, the boss the speaker’s just been dissing, to a person who’s facing the speaker and whose face may or may not have just revealed that Something/someone bad is back there.
And did “You keep using that word; it doesn’t mean what you think it does” come from a movie (if not, it should have) or is it just an SBDMB cliche?

It comes from The Princess Bride, a quote by Inigo Montoya. When the dude keeps saying “Inconceivable!”
Actually the exact quote, I think, is "You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means. "
The Princess Bride. Inigo says it to Vizzini after about the millionth time Vizzini cries, “Inconceivable!” The actual line is, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Said in a Spanish accent.
I love that movie.
(on preview) Yeah, what LorieSmurf said.
I’ve also been trying to remember whether Shatner said in Star Trek IV when he was walking in (then)present day California. I guess I’ll have to rent the movie…
(Wonder if it’s on DVD?)
Sorry - mine was to **tdn **re: “Hey! I’m walkin’ here.”
Confucius? I was thinking of the other wise sage, Yogi Berra.
Was also said by Wesley Snipes as Miss Noxzeema Jackson in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
“Hey, I’m walkin’ here!”
Also said in at least one of the Back to the Future movies. Given the way they go, probably in all of them.
<Buzz Lightyear2> You killed my Father!
<Zurg>No Buzz <dramatic pause> I…AM! your Father!
<Buzz2> NOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Rex knocks Zurg off the elevator, as he falls, Buzz leans over the edge as Zurg falls and says mournfully…]
<Buzz2> Father…
when Buzz2 is playing catch with Zurg and says “farewell” to Buzz1 he uses the Vulcan hand salute (Live Long and Prosper)
and of course the Spaceballs classic…
<Dark Helmet> I am your father’s, brothers, nephew’s, cousin’s former roommate
<Lone Starr> What does that make us?
<D.H.> Absolutely Nothing, which is what you are about to become
and not a reused line, but just funny, and begging to be reused…
<D.H.> now you see that Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb!
Including The Naked Gun, which I’m surprised you didn’t point out. I believe the version there was “The problems of two people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, but this is our hill, and those are our beans.”
Also often used from Casablanca is the famous final line: “This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
And two other lines towards a film’s close often reused for parody’s sake are “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” and “There’s no place like home.”
Cheating a little, on the Buffy TV show I can remember at least one instance where a character quoted a movie line, specifically Xander saying in reference to the great size of a demon, “We’re going to need a bigger boat.”
