Tommy. Yes, I sing it. All of it… Either original album or Ken Russell version. Greatest housecleaning music EVAR!
Monty Python (inclusive,) RHPS (of course,) How To Get Ahead In Advertising, Tapeheads, LA Story, Up In Smoke, Clerks, Dogma, Pulp Fiction, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Sirens, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, that’s all that’s on the top of my head.

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.

“Once again the eyes of a nation turn to this…TIN-Y LIT-TLE VILL-AGE IN WES-TERN PENN-SYL-VAN-IA…BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH…”
I love that film.
Disney’s Robin Hood.
“Taxes, taxes! Beautiful, lovely taxes! AH-ha! AH-ha!”
“If you don’t mind my saying so, you have a very loud thumb.”
The Maltese Falcon. “Keep on riding me and they’re gonna be picking iron out of your liver.” “The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.”
**Bedazzled **(Peter Cook and Dudley Moore version). “Up we go sisters, leaping to the sky, nearer to heaven, let us fly.”
The 39 Steps. “Gentlemen, please! You’re not at home!”
The Lady Vanishes. “It’s always been my contention that the Hungarian Rhapsody is not their national anthem.”
Rear Window. “Tell me what you saw, and what you think it means.”
To Have and Have Not. “What are you trying to do, guess her weight?”
I could watch these over and over again. And there’s always something new. Sigh, life is good.

I’ll join the very deep end of the pool it seems with
Princess Bride &
Star Wars (the original trilogy of course)
I’m very amazed that I’ve only seen Aliens mentioned once, I could without doubt sit down with this movie on mute and provide all the dialogue pretty damn near word perfect.
Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
South Park:BLU

Twice (me and McNew). I’m surprised too, we’ve had entire threads made up of Aliens quotes. And The Breakfast Club gets more mentions than Repo Man?

The Princess Bride
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Blues Brothers
Ferris Beuler’s Day Off
Blazing Saddles
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Muppet Movie
P.C.U.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Better Off Dead
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Stir Crazy
The Bird Cage
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Aliens
Stephen King’s The Stand (TV Miniseries)
I’m sure there are several others that I quote regularly that I’m not thinking of at the moment. I might try to post more after some coffee. Coffee! COFFEE NOW!
Zoolander
Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves (I don’t care, I love it!)
I can recite Friday and The Last Dragon in my sleep.
I’m especially fond of quoting The Last Dragon.
“Just direct-a your feets-a to Daddy Green’s Pizza!”

Coming to America is one of those movies that I have to watch whenever it comes on and can recite everything (including the “she’s your queeeeeeeeen to be…” song) like catechism. My favorite lines will always be “He got Gillligggggaaaaaan off the Island!” and the one I quote most often when frustrated with friends, “Fuck you! Fuck you! And fuck you! Who’s next?”
[/QUOTE]
“Ooooh, that’s nice. What is that? Velvet?”
As for the OP:
Spinal Tap
Sixteen Candles
Valley Girl
Most of mine are the usual suspects:
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Aliens
Star Wars
Ghostbusters
The Princess Bride
and I’ll add
The Crow (“Victims. Aren’t we all?”)
There are tons of others that I can quote extensively from if something triggers me, but those are the ones I think of most readily.

When I was a kid, we had video discs (not laser discs–the old vinyl-and-stylus LP-type videos) of several Star Trek episodes. My favorite was “The Trouble with Tribbles”, and I was known to quote big chunks of it and to mouth along with the lines while watching it. One day, my family got me to sit with my back to the TV with the volume turned down, and speak the dialogue as it played. I spoke every line, complete with accents and inflections, no more than a few seconds off from the on-screen delivery.
The Big Lebowski. Put it on again and again until unintentionally memorized. Perhaps the funniest picture ever. At least, bowling picture.
etc.
Enter The Dragon; my kids and I can spend an hour throwing dialog back and forth on that one and it’s parody by Weird Al. “This is Han; he’s tough and ruthless. This is Han’s driver, he’s rough and toothless.”
[QUOTE=olivesmarch4th]
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.

Damn beaten to it…
When someone asks you if you are a God…you say YES!!!
Dana: I want you inside me…
Dr Venkman: …it sounds like there is at least two of you in there already.
Ok, lets pretend I don’t know anything about architecture, metallurgy, chemisty, physics, etc, and try that again.
