What movies have you memorized most?

Major League

Kudos for the first person who posts which movie I quoted. :slight_smile:

Great film, and the only one I think I could say I’ve ever memorised - I reckon I could write down the script with a fair deal of accuracy.
So many favourite lines…
“Are you the farmer?.. we’ve gone on holiday by mistake!”
“Put on the gloves. Don’t attempt anything without the gloves!”

Apocalypse Now & Goldfinger would be the two I could most easily recite.

But throw in my two boys and we’ll give you a pretty good run on every episode of Futurama

mm

Who is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? I can literally dictate all of Barbara Harris’ lines (I had a bit of fixation). Now I think about it I could recite her lines from Plaza Suite too*.

Along less creepy lines

Aliens should this have the record for quotable lines?

Mystery Men “We’ve got a blind date with destiny - and it looks like she’s ordered the lobster”

The Incredibles getting there through sheer repitition. No Capes!

*and other movies too embarrasing to mention.

Oh yeah, I forgot this one!

“I wish I had a million dollars … HOT DOG!”

Holy Grail

Young Frankenstein

Princess Bride

My Cousin Vinnie (in fact I referred to something in lab yesterday as being “dead on hmmm accurate”)

Nobody has mentioned Ghostbusters? I watched that movie 10,000 times when I was a kid, now whenever I see it I feel like I’ve got déjá vu.

I also know most of Evita from memory, and am prone to burst into song…
So what are my chances of honest advances?
I’d say low
Better to win by admitting my sin
Than to lose with a halo

And collectively, my husband and I corner the market on Futurama quotes.

… If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my Angry Dome! shakes fist

The Court Jester (1955), starring Danny Kaye.

They broke the chalice from the palace! And replaced it with a flagon. With a figure of a dragon.

(Close enough?)

Steel Magnolias
Pulp Fiction
The Breakfast Club
The Last Unicorn
Labyrinth

Holy Grail (“How do you know he’s the king?” “He’s the only one 'asn’t got shit all over 'im…”)
Star Wars (“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy…”)
Young Frankenstein (“Taffeta, darling!”)
Arthur (“She’d have to be a pretty big woman.”)
Animal House (“Germans?” “Forget it, he’s rolling.”)
Spartacus (“Privately, I don’t believe in the gods, and neither do you. Publicly, I believe in them all…”)
History of the World Part I (“Pipe the shit out of your house!”)
Withnail & I (“We are slowly drifting into the arena of the unwell.”)
The Wicker Man (“I assure you, we don’t commit murder up here. We’re a deeply religious people.”)
Diner (“Sinatra or Mathis?” “Presley.”)

Mine would have to be:

Blues Brothers
Big Trouble in Little China
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
The Great Santini
Ghostbusters

The Princess Bride (along with everyone else in their 30’s.)
Sabrina
My Fair Lady
How to Steal a Million (yeah, I got a thing for Audrey.)
Notting Hill

and about 3 dozen children’s movies memorized through sheer repition as they play in the background of my life. Disney and dishes.

There are lots of movies we frequently quote: Caddyshack, Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Singin’ in the Rain, Ferris Bueller, **Adventures in Babysitting ** (don’t ask). And I could recite lengthy passages from any of them.

But the top movie on my list is Animal House. My kid won’t watch it with us anymore because we know the movie too well. During the weekly grocery shop, my husband routinely pulls out a cucumber and tells me “Mine’s bigger than that.” **Animal House ** provides us with daily conversational fodder. We debate the best line, the best scene, the best visual moment . . .

Best line, by the way, is

“Sophomore dies in kiln explosion?”

The Breakfast Club
The Blues Brothers
Singing in the Rain
Guys & Dolls

Clerks.

Forgot one…Office Space (Clerks reminded me).

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory

It’s been my “when I get sick” movie since before I was in elementary school. I can say all of the lines and sing all of the songs from start to finish. It wasn’t until I got into high school that my parents replaced the taped-off-the-Disney Channel version with a real tape (pre-DVD era) as a birthday or Christmas present.

Groundhog Day. I have watched it over and over again to the point that watching it now is like reciting a mantra, which I suppose is ironic considering what the film is about. But it’s a great and under-appreciated film.
