This thread, regarding probably my all-time favorite film, got me to thinking about other movies I can quote from to the extent of annoying family and friends. So, which movies are you constantly quoting from? And relatedly, which movies have you seen the most times?
I have seen Blazing Saddles and Airplane! easily over 30 times each, and I can just about recite each movie from beginning to end. In a close third place would be The Blues Brothers.
I went through a phase where I watched Wayne’s World every day for an entire summer, so I know that pretty much by heart. I’ve also seen The Fellowship of the Ring enough times to be able to quote along with it too.
I can recite just about every line from:
[ul]
[li]Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail[/li][li]The Princess Bride[/li][li]1776[/li][li]The Wizard of Oz[/li][li]Young Frankenstein[/li][li]Singing In the Rain[/li][/ul]
Clue
Princess Bride
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Meaning of Life
Blazing Saddles
History of the World Part I
Young Frankenstein
LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Zefferelli version of “Romeo & Juliet”, which at one point I could recite almost front to back. It’s a perfect edit of the original play, which, like most Shakespeare, was insanely overwritten. Not EVERYONE has to have 20 minutes of expository speechifyin’ Bill, 'specially when we just SAW what they’re explaining!
