Most quotable movies of all time?
Peter Ronaszeki
What are your most quotable movies of all time?
This is in the sense of which movies do you find yourself spouting lines
from at the drop of a hat? Personally I'd definitely have to go for:
ALIENS
DESPERADO
ARMY OF DARKNESS
Honorable mentions:
ROBOCOP
PREDATOR
STAR WARS TRILOGY
SPACEBALLS
GHOSTBUSTERS

Don't remind me! I'd probably still find the film funny if it hadn't
been bludgeoned to death by people quoting (and more often misquoting)
it to me ad nauseam over the past eighteen years or so.
I watched the film again for the first time in ages about a year or so
ago, and I don't think I laughed once. And to think that I spent most
of my teens thinking it was the funniest film ever made...

Inconceivable! If you watched the movie alone, then that's what your
problem with thinking it is not so funny now.
It is a movie best seen with a group! Much funnier that way--trust me.

I'd put all the Python films down as highly quotable, although HOLY
GRAIL is certainly the film I here quotes from most often over here,
mostly along the lines of:
'Nee, nee, nee...' (repeat ad nauseam.)
I'd also like to put forward:
'The Princess Bride' ('As You wish'/My name is Inigo Montoya....)
'Back to the Future' (Roads? Where we're going, we don't NEED, roads.)
'Ferris Beuller's Day Off'(Too numerous tooo mention.)
Also, i can't beleive that nobody has mentioned Casablanca? Or was that
just too obvious? Mind you, everybody gets that 'Play it again' line
wrong.

Is it most quoted by me, personally, or by people in general? Because if it's
the latter, I should think CASABLANCA would be very high on the list.

There were two of us, we reacted the same way, and we both agreed the
film (which we both previously thought was hilarious) had been wrecked
by endless streams of people quoting pretty well all the dialogue (and
for the most part quoting it badly). And of course the bits that
aren't quoted endlessly are the bits that weren't funny to begin with.
It's unlikely *any* film would survive that!

Yeah, can't believe I didn't think of "...Holly Grail" -- but I'm
astounded that no one, including me has mentioned "Wizard of OZ" yet.
I'd bet that it's the movie most quoted by the general public...
"Who rang that bell!"
"...and your little dog, too!"
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
"She's dead -- you've killed her."
"Oh Toto, there's no place like home!"
and of course, what might be the most overquoted movie line ever...
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto."

film twice, and I can rattle off the entire "unladen swallow" thing, the
bit from "Sssh-tunk! Message for you, sir" to "Terribly sorry, terribly

David, your mention of the seminal 1948 movie The Naked City deserves comment
and kudos, among your more contemporary choices. Director, Jules Dassin;
screenwriter, Albert Maltz; cinematographer, the immortal William Daniels;
stars, Barry Fitzgerald and Howard Duff, among many others....We should all be
so lucky to see this lovingly made film about crimefighting in New
York City....also inspired a cool t.v. series.

When I was in college, we played a drinking game along these lines.
You go around the room quoting from a movie. If nobody gets the
reference, you drink. Of course, longtime players would always use
the same quotes since the other players will have it driven into their
heads after a while. My first few rounds always included the
following:
Animal House (Refuse to quote sober)
Princess Bride (I am not left handed/I do not think that word means
what you think it means)
The Untouchables (You send one of his to the
morgue/Enthusiasms...Enthusiasms/Yes there is violence in Chicago, but
not by me and not by any I employ, and you wanna know why? Because
it's not good business.)
Risky Busines (Sometimes you just gotta say...)
Silence of the Lambs (Pity about poor Catherine, tick-tock, tick-tock)
I'm sure there were other obvious winners, but those were the ones I
usually used. The Princess Bride ones never failed.

The lines *I* have most found myself quoting is the hilarious dialogue

The greed speach was borrowed from another source. Perhaps it was
taken from a speach by Warren Buffet or some similar corporate
takeover artist.
Besides, all of the movies in the posted list are easily
beaten in "most quotable" aspect by such classics as:
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
The Wizard of Oz
2001

Although I didn't really like the movie, there are some interesting
quotes from Top Gun that I seem to use a lot:
"We are way low on gas, Mav."
"I crack myself up."
"I feel the need, the need... fer speed." (I use it contrapuntally: it
came to mind when Jason Patric was shooting up in Rush, and when I'm
trapped behind a slow-mover on the highway. Which also begs for,
"People on ludes should NOT drive," from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.)
My girlfriend does wonderful accents and voices, and two of her best
are:
"I'd say it's dead-on balls accurate. It's an industry term." (My
Cousin Vinny)
"Oh, it was just ghastly!" (Auntie Mame)
Then, back in the SF genre, there is the wonderful Real Genius:
"I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said: 'I drank
what?'"
"Vhy are you vearing zat toy on your headt?"
"Because, if I wear it anywhere else, it chafes."
"Listen, if there's anything I can do for you -- or, more to the point,
TO you -- let me know, okay?"
"Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?"
"Not right now."
"A girl's gotta have her standards."
"Before we begin, may I compliment you on your footwear." (This quote
is VERY useful in many circumstances, particularly business.)

Here are my choices:
Pulp Fiction (a major favorite of mine)
Taxi Driver (DeNiro's one-liner)
The Godfather (Brando's one-liner)
Forrest Gump (Hanks)
The Empire Strikes Back (for the fun of it! :))
Gone With the Wind
Casablanca (a classic)
The Maltese Falcon
The Terminator and T2:Judgment Day (for obvious reasons)
If I've forgotten anything else, just write back and tell me what you
people think. Thanks!

Did anyone mention the "The Godfather"
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse"
"Either your signature or your brains will be on the contract"
" I don't want my brother to come out of that bathroom with just his
dick in his hand"

There's actually something memorable out of Ford Fairlane? I can't
seem to recall anything from the film...
