"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pear Harbor?!?!?!"
"The unauthorized use of force is authorized in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers."
You missed Wayne's World!

You missed Wayne's World!
Or any movie with Ahhnold or Clint Eastwood.
It could almost be a Field of 64 type question.
i thought about that, but the whole thing seemed to smack of effort. damn! the breakfast club!
Where's friggin Big Lebowski??
There's a beverage here.. man!
Write in for Full Metal Jacket, you grabasstic piece of amphibian shit.
GIMME BACK MY BABY, YOU WARTHAWG FROM HELL!
(go Raising Arizona!)
In the Pagan world, there is no more quotable film than Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
"And what else can you burn apart from witches?"
"More witches!"
"God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids."
Dr. Strangelove is my most quoted movie, followed by the Magic Christian.
Python, no contest. There are so many great lines in that movie you can't count 'em all.
"Message for you, sir" and, "Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who." are favorites
"It's only a flesh wound!" "Ni!"
Python definitely has the most quotable lines.
Four fried chickens, and a Coke.
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die. "
"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
"As you wish"

The most quotable movie are Blazing Saddles and Airplane, but Tombstone is also very good.
42?
Oh, no, not again.....
DON'T PANIC!
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die. "
"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
"As you wish"
"Inconceivable!"
I think Fight Club should be replaced by Pulp Fiction.
"What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
AH, yes, bluecuracao is right. Pulp Fiction pwnz hard.
'the one that says Bad Mutha'FUCKAH on it!'
Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know...
Another regularly-quoted movie that didn't make thing list:
"I know kung fu"
"Show me."
Great thread!
I quote Pulp Fiction a lot, as well.
PS I believe you have my stapler
"What ees eet like to keel a man?"
"Have fun storming the castle!"
Ghostbusters is probably mine, followed by Clueless and The Wizard of Oz (because it's ubiquitous). I'm more likely to quote from sitcoms or stand-up routines though, because I see them more often.
- Madder than Mad Jack McMad, thicker than a whale omelette
- Spraying your belly with sticky white love piss, its's just a saga now, okay-cokey pig-in-a-pokey
- Garlic? Bread?, t'internet

Agree with Blazing Saddles... I use that more than anything.
Though I have never used the one that gets in my head... "The sheriff is a DONG!"
"Its twooo, its TWOOOO!"
AH, yes, bluecuracao is right. Pulp Fiction pwnz hard.
'the one that says Bad Mutha'FUCKAH on it!'
"Say WHAT again!" I have said "Look at the brain on Brad" to people.
I'm more likely to quote from sitcoms
"chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie"
Most quotable has to be Seinfeld, even though I'm not a huge fan.
I love Murray's line in Ghostbusters, with that smirk on his face "No human could stack books like that."
Trivia: from what movie is this quote:
"Easy peasy japanesy"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.;)
And if you add TV shows, after eighteen years there's a good chance that you're quoting the Simpsons every day, though maybe not deliberately.
In the Pagan world, there is no more quotable film than Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
"And what else can you burn apart from witches?"
"More witches!"
My favorite quote from that movie is "I fart in your general direction".

Hey!, no fair hijacking threads!
umm...
Tora! Tora! Tora?:o
Sorry! I just knew there are a lot of fans of this movie here in Cellar Land, so I thought I'd throw that in!
It's Shawshank...that line always sticks with me.
I hafta say I'm surprised at a couple that weren't on the list.
Maybe I'm weird but a LOT of Star Wars (the first three episodes) lines come to mind:
"Do or do not. There is no try."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters."
"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are finished."
"I don't care what you smell, you big oaf!"
"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
"What a piece of junk!"
And I bet the MOST quoted would have to be Terminator:
"I'll be back!"
How could you have neglected that one?

...
Don't forget "Don't get cocky, kid"
I won't be able to come up with a list all at once. However two movies that get quoted a lot in our house:
Ghostbusters:
Ok so, she's a dog.
Yes it's true. This man has no dick.
Dogs and cats -- living together.
Are you the Keymaster?
My Cousin Vinney:
Does that thing come turbocharged?
A quick in and out procedure.
Oh yeah, you blend.
Hey, hey there little Yankee boy.
Dead on balls accurate? It's an industry term.
The only thing from My Cousin Vinny that made it into our office conversation was "Yoots," as in "two Yoots?"
We just always call Monkey Hall the "Yoot Center."
Given the demographic mix, Monkey Hall as a nickname for the local juvenile detention facility is not sufficiently politically correct, and has fallen into disuse. The change of the name to M. County Youth Center is also responsible.
Where's friggin Big Lebowski??
There's a beverage here.. man!
Yes, especially the
lecture on the difference between Nazis and Nihilists.
Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
Write in for Full Metal Jacket, you grabasstic piece of amphibian shit.
True, I mean I'm sure everyone on the Cellar has at some point gotten way too drunk at a party and yelled out 'me so horny', um, right?:worried:
I've done that without being drunk, rich.
And I bet the MOST quoted would have to be Terminator:
"I'll be back!"
How could you have neglected that one?
Just as an aside, I know the person who Ahnuld delivered that line to in the movie. He is a contractor in Fresno now and he designed and landscaped my back patio, but he also used to do a lot of stunt work and pyrotechnics for the movies. According to Dennis, they had fits with the way Ahnuld was delivering the line because he sounded unconvincing with his heavy accent. Of course, everybody knows how the Terminator does "come back" and runs over Dennis, trapped behind the desk in the police station. He'll have free drinks for the rest of his life with all the behind-the-scenes stories he can tell.
My last two years in HS was HELL because of Napoleon Dynamite.
"Your mom goes to college"
"I love technology"
"Its a liger, a tiger and a lion with magical powers"
Oh GOD I hate that movie.
Oh GOD I hate that movie.
Me too. Me too.
It's funny. But maybe I think that because I have awsome numchuck skills.
Vote For Pedro!
"I'll be Bach."
"I'll be Haydn."
"I can Handel that."
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Tonight I was reminded of the quotability of Forrest Gump.
Where's friggin Big Lebowski??
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!Just a personal quotable that has infested (!) my world: Guess it?
(of course with attempted Scottish accent)
"Head! Its like an orange on a toothpick!"
"Go! You've stayed your hour!"
"...the Colonel with his wee beady eyes! He puts an adictive chemical in it that makes you crave it fortnightly!"
"we have a piper down. repeat. A piper is down."
That's from Austin Powers
close..but no rolled-leaf incendiary pleasure stick.
It wasn't Austin Powers? was it So I married an Axe Murderer?
Casino Royale (the original one with David Niven & Peter sellars)
That's not a knife!....This is a knife.
the knife thing was Hogan in Crocodile Dundee......
where did the phrase 'the usual suspects' (the film of that name paid homage to it) come from?
One of those noir films...probably had Bogart in it. ;)
One of those noir films...probably had Bogart in it. ;)
Obviously the decline of Western Civilisation has begun.
From Casablanca:
Captain Renault: Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.
Another quotable movie:
The Thin Man
Nick Charles: The important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.
---------------
Reporter: Say listen, is he working on a case?
Nora Charles: Yes, he is.
Reporter: What case?
Nora Charles: A case of scotch. Pitch in and help him.
-----------------
Marion: I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you.
----------------
Nick Charles: I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune.
Nora Charles: I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.
Nick Charles: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.
There are SO many, but Harvey had some of the funniest quotes ever, though I know I don't use them as personal quotes:
Elwood P. Dowd: Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
Dr. Sanderson: Think carefully, Dowd. Didn't you know somebody, sometime, someplace by the name of Harvey? Didn't you ever know anybody by that name?
Elwood P. Dowd: No, no, not one, Doctor. Maybe that's why I always had such hopes for it.
[COLOR="black"]Elwood P. Dowd: [/COLOR]You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections.
Another movie came to mind, Arsenic and Old Lace:
Reverend Harper: Have you ever tried to persuade him that he wasn't Teddy Roosevelt?
Abby Brewster: Oh, no.
Martha Brewster: Oh, he's so happy being Teddy Roosevelt.
Abby Brewster: Oh... Do you remember, Martha, once, a long time ago, we thought if he'd be George Washington, it would be a change for him, and we suggested it.
Martha Brewster: And do you know what happened? He just stayed under his bed for days and wouldn't be anybody.
Both of those movies costarred Josephine Hull, who was one very funny lady.
OK, one more classic flick: Pocketful of Miracles:
Junior: She's like a cockroach what turned into a butterfly!
Joy Boy: I ain't gonna marry her! An' y'know why? 'Cause my wife don't like it when I go around marryin' people! She's funny that way!
Butler: Nobody arrives first, sir. They all arrive last.
Oh man, I love Arsenic and Old Lace.
Oh man, I love Arsenic and Old Lace.
Ibram, you are wise beyond your years. I have trouble finding people my age (41) who have seen any classic movies! Bravo!
