This is slightly in response to defndum's earlier post
C'mon, there is no more quotable movie than 'The Princess Bride'... probably the one movie I have gotten more people into than any other
Reiner's triumph
"You mean you wish to surrender to me?... very well, I accept"
Follow Ups:
this long of a list and no one has mentioned Buckaroo Banzai, Army of Darkness, or Young Frankenstein?!~~!
A few examples from Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3):Ash:
Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; retails for about one hundred nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!
-----Ash: Hail to the king, baby!
-----Bad-Ash: I'm bad Ash and you're good Ash. You're a goody little two-shoes. You're goody little two-shoes, goody little two-shoes... hahaha.
Ash: Good? Bad? I'm the one with the gun.
-----Evil Sheila: You found me beautiful once.
Ash: Honey, you got real ugly.
-----Demon Woman: I'll swallow your soul!
Ash: Come get some.
-----Evil Sheila: I may be bad, but I feel good.
-----Ash: Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.
Demon Woman: Who the hell are you?!
Ash: Name's Ash . . . housewares.
~~~~~Ash: Yo, she-b*tch. Let's go.
~~~~~Ash: Give me some sugar, baby.

the hockey players are all sitting in a bar drinking beer and doing shots and one of the players(patrick Swayze) offers up a toast....to hockey, thank god there's still a sport left for average size white guys.
Growing up playing and still playing the game I was really able to appreciate that line!
because all truly great movies have great scripts. Some of my favorites:Actually, almost any line from Casablanca makes a great quote:
I was misinformed.
I stick my neck out for nobody.
Round up the usual suspects.
I'm just a poor corrupt official, make it 10,000 francs.Rick: My gun's pointed straight at your heart.
Reneau: That's my least vunerable spot!Here' looking at you, kid.

Soldier: Why does it have to be us?

Memorable Quotes from
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
Mike Damone: I mean don't just walk in. You move across the room. And you don't talk to her. You use your face. You use your body. You use everything. That's what I do. I mean I just send out this vibe and I have personally found that women do respond. I mean, something happens.
Mark Ratner: Well, naturally something happens. I mean, you put the vibe out to 30 million chicks, something is gonna happen.
Mike Damone: That's the idea, Rat. That's the attitude.
Mark Ratner: The attitude?
Mike Damone: Yeah! The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Damone: Look at you: member of the honor roll, assistant to the assistant manager of the movie theater. I'm tellin' ya, Rat, if this girl can't smell your qualifications, then who needs her, right?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: This is U.S. History, I see the globe right there.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad Hamilton: [dumping out cold fries] I shall serve no fries before their time.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: Aloha, Mr. Hand.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Damone: I can see it all now, this is gonna be just like last summer. You fell in love with that girl at the Fotomat, you bought forty dollars worth of fuckin' film, and you never even talked to her. You don't even own a camera.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Damone: You are a wuss: part wimp, and part pussy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The "five-point plan"]
Mike Damone: First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Spicoli has had a pizza delivered to class.]
Mr. Hand: Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
Jeff Spicoli: Learning about Cuba, and having some food.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: [driving and stoned] People on 'ludes should not drive.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[After Spicoli wrecks Jefferson's car.]
Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill you and he's gonna kill me, he's gonna kill us!
Jeff Spicoli: Hey man, just be glad I had fast reflexes!
Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna shit!
Jeff Spicoli: Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?
Jefferson's Brother: First he's gonna shit, then he's gonna kill us!
Jeff Spicoli: Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: No shirt, no shoes, no dice.
Brad Hamilton: Right. Learn it, know it, live it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Spicoli, talking on the phone, hits his head with a shoe.]
Jeff Spicoli: That was my skull!! I'm so wasted!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stacy Hamilton: When a guy has an orgasm, how much comes out?
Linda Barrett: A quart or so.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Businessman: It says one hundred percent guaranteed, you moron!
Brad Hamilton: Mister, if you don't shut up I'm gonna kick one hundred percent of your ass!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Spicoli: So what Jefferson was saying was "Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too." Yeah?

Most of the guys I know can quote all of gunnery sargeant Hartman's dialogue....along with that of the Vietnamese prostitute.
Sgt. Hartman: How tall are you, private?
"Cowboy": Sir, five foot, nine, sir!
Sgt. Hartman: Five foot, nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that highSgt. Hartman: Were you born worthless piece of shit, or did you have to work at it?
Sgt. Hartman: You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece.
Sgt. Hartman: Are you a Peter-puffer?
Sgt. Hartman: Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?
Sgt. Hartman: It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress.
Sgt. Hartman: Pyle, you climb obstacles like old people fuck.

Treasure of the Lost Sierra - "We don't need no stinking badges."Taxi Driver - "Are you talkin' to me?"
E.T. - "E.T. phone home."
The Wizard of Oz - "We're not in Kansas any more."
The Shinning - "Here's Johnny!"
On the Waterfront - "I could have been somebody, I could have been a contender."
Wizard of Oz -There's no place like home.
geoffkait,An excellent list.
"We don't need no stinking badges was given an homage too in "Blazing Saddles" by a Mexican bandit in the line of hired guns.
Another from "BS": "Where the white women at?"
Another good "W of O": "I'll get you my little pretty and your little dog too!" Aside: Interesting isn't how Toto was so central to "The Wizard of Oz. If it weren't for running away to protect Toto, she would never have been caught in the tornado in the first place. Now there's a future PhD. dissertion subject!

It is a far piece from a doctoral dissertation, but last year in my Advanced Comp class, our professor had us write a paper that ripped up a self-published book called "The Oz Factor", which compares characters from the Wizard of Oz to common personality types. Some of the author's comparisons are pretty big reaches!
My favorite is when one of the characters sees Mongo and says,
"Mongo! Santa Maria!"
nope
GWlvrns,There is so much memorable dialogue, but there are some phrases that are recognized even by the middle ground of movie enthusiast:
Gone With the Wind: "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn."
Casablanca: "Here's lookin' at you kid", "Round up the the usual suspects", "You played it for her, you can play it for me."
To Have and Have not: "You know how to whistle don't you Steve. You put your lips together and.. blow."
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: "Who are those guys?"
Love and Death: "I have an ulcer and my doctor says death is the worst thing for it."
Bridge on the River Kwai: "Madness!"
Apocolypse Now: "I love the smell of naplam in the morning. It smells like..victory." "Terminate- with extreme prejudice."
Citizen Kane: "Rosebud."
All about Eve: "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be bumpy night."
Ninotchka: "You're very talkative."
Shrek: (Looking at a castle in a lake of molten lava): "Sure it's big, but look at the location." (needing to kill the dragon) "It's on my to-do list."
"The Importance of Being Earnest: "To lose one parent is unfortunate, to lose both looks like carelessness."
Sunset Boulevard: "I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille."I can't really pin down a single movie with the most or best known quotes- I guess in those terms it would have to be a film version of Hamlet!" But "Casablanca" does have quite a few memorable lines.
Also, it is more typical I think that the kind of heightened writing of American movies produces punchier quotes and this kind of catch phrase than foreign movies I can think of.
Cheers,
Bambi B
