Moonstruck…our favorite movie. After the other post, I decided we needed to pop open a bottle of wine and watch it last night! We hadn’t seen it in 8 years…although we’ve seen it about 20 times.
We know all the lines and quote them all the time.
I love that movie too con mama !
When my daughter was finally old enough to watch the godfather she was amazed by how many things we say regularly are actually quotes from the movie.
Office Space–the whole movie is pretty much our collective mantra (not because we feel that way, but because we live our lives to avoid feeling that way.
Bull Durham
Spaceballs
Star Wars
Our family is quite gifted in using quotes from “A Christmas Story” in everyday conversation. Favorites include…
“Hey, kid”
“It’s…a…clinker…!!!”
“Don’t…bother me…I’m…thinking…”
“Your mother, your mother…oooohhhhh”
“Nah, that’s them balsams”
“Thtuck…thtuck…???”
“Sons of b****es…Bumpuses!!!”
“I like the tin man…”
Honestly, I could go on and on…
“Shiny” really Firefly, but Serenity is the movie
“These aren’t the droids you are looking for” Star Wars
“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition” Monty Python
“I’m not dead yet” Monty Python and the Holy Grail
“Play it again Sam” misquote from Casablanca
“We’ll always have Paris” Casablanca
“Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Casablanca
“You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and… blow.” To Have and Have Not
No, it’s because I’m married. I know who I am.
It’s Johnny Cammarari!
We never suspected you.
I can still hear her big mouth.
Snap out of it.
No matter what you do Cosmo, your still gonna die.
I’m not a freaking monument to justice!
I could go on and on
My DD and I were actually in NYC last week & visited Lincoln Center (home of the Metropolitan Opera). We could see the giant Marc Chagall hanging through the window that Nicholas Cage describes to Cher. We both looked at it & said in unison - “It’s kind of gaudy…”
We constantly quote Blazing Saddles:
What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin’ on here?
Excuse me while I whip this out.
Son, you’re on your own.
Oh, it’s twue. It’s twue. It’s twue, it’s twue!
Baby, please! I am not from Havana.
You use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.
I didn’t get a “harrumph” out of that guy!
Mongo only pawn… in game of life.
Now go do… that voodoo… that YOU do… SO WELL…!
Of course, you’ll have the good taste not to mention that I spoke to you.
Let’s face it. Evewything below the waist… is kaput!
Forgot about this one:
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” - From Casablanca. We usually just say the first few words, but sometimes the whole thing.
I was amazed when I first saw Casablanca at how many quotes I had heard before on Bugs Bunny!
Moonstruck (for many listed above) but also for “All day long I bake bread, bread bread”, “I love this man, but I never told him, 'cause he could never love anyone since he lost his hand and his girl”, “Clear away all evidence of her and bring me a big glass of vodka”, “Thank you! Thank you for answering my question!” “Birds fly to the stars, I guess.” “You’re a little boy and you like to be bad.”
When Harry met Sally: “I promise you, I will never want that wagon wheel coffee table”, “I am the dog? I am the dog?!?”, “Married…(folds down the corner of the card)”, “There’s somebody staring at you in personal growth”, “It’s out there.”
Working Girl: “Can’t you just once buy me a present I can wear outside of our bedroom?”, “You look nice. Traffic court?”, “Nice bunny”, “I have a head for business and a bod for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?”, “Get your bony ass out of my sight!”
Clueless: “You’re a virgin who can’t drive.” “Ugh, that was way harsh, Tai.”
Baby Mama: “I’m clean! I’m clean!”, “B****, I don’t know your life!”, “Can’t we just use a little Pam instead?”, “As a reward, I’m going to give you 5 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact”, “My girl does NOT rock!”
Say Anything: “I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen”, “Ah, look at this gentleman”, “If you guys know so much about women, why are you sitting here alone at the Gas and Sip on a Saturday night? By choice, man, by choice!”, " You must chill!"
Dh likes to quote O Brother. We all like Princess Bride and PCU.
Lots of others but I can’t think of them now!
Zoolander is probably the most often-quoted movie in our family. “I’ve got the black lung” often accompanies a cough, and there are numerous other lines that just make us laugh over & over again.
We also love to quote from Elf and Princess Bride.
We are a silly family. 
Moonstruck…can’t recall the exact lines but I love how Cher order him to eat the steak bloody to feed his blood
And also the grandfather’s lines about being confused and how he feeds all his dogs at the dinner table
and how Olympia Dukakis threatens her father in law.
The entire culture of the Brooklyn Italian Americans makes that movie such a favorite of mine. I lived in Staten Island when that movie was filmed and also Working girl so I guess I kind of related to it because of that…and although it wasn’t a movie , Madonna’s music video " Papa Don’t preach " was filmed a few blocks from where I lived and walked my baby…ah the nostalgia
A Few Good Men-will launch into a good portion of the ultimate courtroom scene, verbatim, on a whim.
