When I was younger, I used to annoy my friends by spouting quotes of “The Breakfast Club”- as we were watching it.
That and “Raising Arizona”.

I hope this helps.
Pulp Fiction
I honestly don’t know how many times I’ve seen it. I’ve owned it on VHS for 10 years.
Pulp Fiction
Mallrats
All the original Star Wars films
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
If I had a copy of The Big Lebowski, I’d watch it everyday, all day. Fortunately, I don’t!
Ahhh yes, let me add Pulp Fiction, can’t believe I forgot that.
And someone mentioned The Lion King, which reminded me of one I should probably be embarassed of. I bet I could quote 90-95% of Aladdin.
I never really had a favorite movie that I watched over and over until Lord Of The Rings came out. So I’m starting anew with
yeah, we want meats!
Legend
Darkness:Blix,are you not the most loathesome of my goblins? Is your heart not black and full of hate?
Blix: Truly,Lord. Black as midnight,black as pitch. Blacker than the foulest witch!
Blix:Higher higher, burning fire!Making music like a choir!
Oona:Am I not sweet?
Jack: Sweeter than bee pollen on a summer wind…that’s just more faerie glamour. Human hearts don’t work that way.
b]Oona**:What care I for human hearts?!?!? Soft and spiritless as porridge! A faerie’s heart beats fierce and free!
Lilli:Do you speak their language?
Jack:They express only love and laughter. Dark thoughts are unknown to them.
IDBB
Me too! I was a latchkey kid who was alone in the house all day during the summer. The VCR would replay my favorite movies over and over and over.
*Gone With the Wind, Ferris, Star Wars, Dirty Dancing, Lonesome Dove, The Princess Bride, Ghostbusters, Better Off Dead, Big, * and, oddly enough, * Patton. * These were my summer babysitters.
Princess Bride (“I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.”)
Godfather I (“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.”)
Rocky Horror Picture Show ("Say goodbye to…all of this… goodbye all of this! and hellooo… to oblivion hi, oblivion, how’s the wife and kids?)
The Man Who Would Be King (“I wish you many good lucks!”)
Mallrats (“Fly Fatass, fly!”)
Desperado (“Carolina… did I remember to thank you? I will.”)
Threesome (“I hate the taste of sperm.”)

Shawshank Redemption: “The Count of Monte… Crisco.” “That’s Cristo, you dumbshit.” “By Alexandrey… Dumbass. Dumbass!” (pause) “Dumas. Have you read that? You’d like it. It’s about a prison break.”
Apollo 13: “So, uh… hit it, Freddo.”
Monty Python and the Holy Grail: “What else floats?” “Errrrr… very small rocks?”
Lilo and Stitch: “Oh, ‘Stitch’ isn’t a real name… iiiin Iceland. But here it’s good.”
“Jailbreak? Maybe we ought a file that one under “Educational” too!”
Thanks for the tips on Empire of the Sun, folks. I’ll look into it - but things are going to be tight here until Summer financial aid comes in (and after as well, but not quite so bad), so it’s not in the cards at the moment. I’ll snag a copy eventually.
A Clockwork Orange
Perhaps ** The Godfather ** - “He’s a businessman. I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
Or ** Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb ** - “You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room!”
Priceless
I forgot to mention, of course, Bring It On. I can quote an embarassing amount of that movie
One of my talents is to be very good at memorizing movie lines (and song texts); I usually pick a lot up on first screening and then reinforce the memories on second screening, and then they’re there, cast in iron. So my list would be way too long, but the following come to mind:
Spaceballs. One summer I watched this once a day, and soon memorized the entire script. I hadn’t seen it for at least a year when it happened to be on, and I found I could still predict every single line with 100% accuracy… until Pricegal told me to stop or eat boot.
Star Wars IV, V and VI. Of course.
The Big Lebowski, the most quotable movie of all time.
Top Secret. Underrated film.
The Young Ones, Black Adder, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Bottom and an infinite amount of other TV series.
Anything by ZAZ, Mel Brooks (well, admittedly not the more recent ones) or Monty Python.
I have to stop sometime, so I will now. But never challenge me in a movie quote game.
I know most of Ghostbusters by heart - and so does my Dad. It leads to some interesting conversations.
Beetlejuice.
Best movie ever. Seen it so many times I’ve lost count.
Macbeth.
Damned good movie. Who wrote that? Have to check that out.
