Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies. Shawshank
“I’ll be back” Schwarzenegger in The Terminator.
“Bing!” Ned Ryerson character in Groundhog Day
“Oh, now I understand.”-- in the exact intonation that Mrs. Phillips uses in the A&E Pride & Prejudice, after understanding that Mr. Collins wasn’t disparaging her apartment when he compared it to the small summer breakfast room at Rosings.
Ditto to Princess Bride and Godfather quotes (and sometimes Ghost)
from Butch Cassidy:
“You just keep thinking, Butch, that’s what you’re good at”
“Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?”
from “The Magnificent Seven”
“If God did not want them to be shorn, he would not have made them sheep.”
“There was a time I would have caught all three.”
and either the beginning or the end of the joke Steve McQueen says to the old man:
“Reminds me of the story of the man who jumped out of a ten story building…
on the way down people kept hearing him say, ‘So far, so good…so far, so good.’”
From TV, “How I Met Your Mother” quotes
This is a great thread. We do lines…every day. Too many movies to list. One of our favorites is My Cousin Vinny…“Oh it’s encouragement you want???..” We also had no broadcast/stream TV for about four years but complete sets of DVDs for That 70s Show, MASH, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Seinfeld. Talk about rich line fodder.
My cousin Vinny ( many lines but these two the most)
“Mrs. Riley, and only, Mrs. Riley”
“Identical!”
Xmas vacation. ( I think we know it line by line)
“And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?”
“I wasn’t talking to you”
Squirrelllll!
“And I’d like to get something for you, something real nice”
“Get me someone and get me someone else while I’m waiting”
" he is holding out for a management position"
“Fixed the Newel post”
“Look kids, a deer!”
Jurassic Park
" Clever girl"
“Hold onto your butts”
" Dodgson, we’ve got Dodgson here"
" we spared no expense"
“Must go faster”
“It’s a unix system. I know this”
And many many more…
in Moonstruck, did you know the other guy in lots of the bread making scenes down in the oven, was the real owner of the bakery? The looks on his face crack me up.
@lje62 …that would be. “Old Man, if you feed my food to those dogs one more time, I’m gonna kick you until your dead.” I don’t think there is one bad line in that movie.
No, we don’t want OATMEAL! Yes, Mrs. castarinni, I would love Oatmeal.
The obvious Butch Cassidy one: “Who ARE those guys???”
And how did I forget Airplane and Holy Grail???
Also on the list of quoted movies in our house (along with many of the above)
The Jerk
One Dollar…and NINE CENTS
I don’t need anything else…Oh I need THIS, this chair, this remote control, and this paddle game…

Went to dinner with some vegetarians last night and remembered my fave!
“WHADAYA mean you don’t eat no meat?”
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My kids always said they lived in a musical–we could sing a song that fit most any situation.
“They’re BAACCKKK!..” Poltergiest.
We quote A LOT of Mean Girls-
- “Oh my God, Karen, you can’t just ask people why they’re white.”
- “Nice wig, Janis. What’s it made of?”, “your mom’s chest hair!”.
- "She doesn’t even go here! "
- “I’m sorry that people are so jealous of me… but I can’t help it that I’m so popular.”
- “Say crack again.”
- “That’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets.”
- “Is butter a carb?”
- “My grandma takes her wig off when she’s drunk.”
And of course Legally Blonde-
- “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands, they just don’t.”
- " Don’t stomp your little last season Prada shoes at me, honey."
- “It has come to my attention that the maintenance staff is switching our toilet paper from Charmin… to generic. All those opposed to chafing, please say “Aye”.”
- “She could use some mascara and some serious highlights, but she’s not completely unfortunate looking.”
“I’ll be back.” “Hasta la vista, baby” (The Terminator - the former is usually said before disappearing in the bathroom for a few minutes 
)
“Shopping is my cardio!” (Sex in the City - although this one is from the show, not the movie)
The Princess Bride, of course.
But also Bill Forsythe’s Local Hero. (“Shoot him down. Shoot to kill.”)
And H is fond of quoting There Will Be Blood.
@NJSue, kudos to you! Definitely the best version ever! (With the best Darcy.)
@consolation : “I drink your milkshake”! (There Will Be Blood) Just used that line last week at work.
Just remembered some good ones from Sense and Sensibility (another movie we’ve watched at least 20 times):
“I’ll winkle it out of you!”
“Try.” and “If only you would stop.” (both from Hugh Laurie’s Mr Palmer, and must be said in a very annoyed monotone)
Sometimes we just like to yell out “Willoughby?!” like Kate Winslet.
And this one comes up often, since H is a surgeon:
Max Fischer: I like your nurse’s uniform, guy.
Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer: O, R they?
(From Rushmore)
I try to use O R they? at least once a week, but the set up has to be right. Never gets old!
“The bread pudding is extra runny tonight” - from National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation. (Usually said by one of us at a bad restaurant).
Ours is Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. I can’t even start putting down all the quotes we constantly use. The entire script, pretty much–we have it memorized. If you haven’t seen this movie, you should!
bearpanther: We also love Sense and Sensibility and know it by heart. Another Hugh Laurie/Mr. Palmer line: “We’ll do nothing of the sort.” Very small role, very few lines. But perfect seething annoyance at his insufferable wife.
From Fanny: “I am the soul of discretion. . .I can assure you, I am as silent as the grave.”
“Oh, a cottage! How charming. A little cottage is always very snug.”
A couple Alan Rickman/Colonel Brandon lines: “The air is full of spices,” and “Give me an occupation. . .or I shall run mad!”
We also quote Casablanca a lot. And Napoleon Dynamite.
