Movies your family quotes the most

Any time someone asks how much money someone needs we always quote Eddie from Vacation: About $52,000.

And I passed out Jelly of the Month Club certificates one year at work to several folks (myself included) but no one in management when raises/bonuses sucked.

OH YES. @bearpanther Max Fisher

" My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. My safety’s Harvard."

" Also, you’ll find a pair of safety glasses and some earplugs under your seats. Please feel free to use them.’

D was tempted to use this line for her senior recital.

Alright, I really need to see these Jane Austen movies. I am a HUGE fan of her books but have been negligent on the movie side.

And just to make sure this one gets included:

There’s a love bite on your neck…Your life is going down the toilet!

As they say in “Moonstruck”, "Andiamo…

Godfather “It’s not personal… , it’s strictly business”.

Bull Durham “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains”

Bull Durham “I’m just happy to be here, hope I can help the ballclub”

Risky Business “Sometime you just have to say what the ****”.

Risky Business “In a sluggish economy, never, ever **** with another man’s livelihood.”

Blues Brothers “We’re putting the band back together”

Blues Brothers “We’re on a mission from God”

Field of Dreams “If you build it he will come”

Star Wars “May the force be with you”

Ten Commandments “So it shall be written, so it shall be done!”

Animal House “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor”

Terminator “I’ll be back!”

“These are not the droids you are looking for.” I am not sure I even need to say what movie, but for anyone who has missed it, Star Wars. :slight_smile:

@atomom I’ll bite.

This is one of my personal favorite parts of the tour. Please say hello to our residents, Pedro and his wife Inez. Inez has a clay pot that she seems very proud of. She has carefully detailed it with lots of paint and glaze. And Pedro is working on an “adobe.” Can you say that with me? “Adobe”.

Really, Y’all have been my favorite tour group ever.

Cool Hand Luke (Obviously, “What we have here is a failure to communicate”)
Elf (“You sit on a throne of lies!”)
O Brother Where Art Thou? (“R-U-N-N-O-F-T”)
The Muppet Movie (too many to list)
Raising Arizona

For TV, it’s most often King of the Hill.

@guidedbywire, yes to Raising Arizona:

The whole recidivism exchange at the parole board; “her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase”; “you go back in there and get me a toddler!” “Don’t tell his mama that, it’ll break her heart!”, “mind his little fontanel!”, “Don’t cut yourself, Mordecai”, “you get that diaper off your sister’s head!”

" Blues Brothers "We’re on a mission from God "

I used that line in my high school yearbook and my mother got upset :wink:

I found that movie very funny at the time

" Orange Whip ? Orange Whip ?

@musicamusica, I can’t remember ANY lines from that movie. H can quote it extensively. We saw it together. Go figure. :slight_smile:

I have to admit that I’e been guilty of uttering the Arnie “I’ll be back” many times. :slight_smile:

@LostTexan Once I had the most golden opportunity to quote Mean Girls and I missed it. My husband is part Mexican, but he doesn’t really look it. Nonetheless, he has a very common Mexican last name. Once a friend said, “So I gotta ask, if you’re Mexican, then why are you white?” What I should have said was “Oh my God (friend’s name), you can’t just ask people why they’re white!” but I didn’t realize the missed opportunity until a day later. :frowning:

As is obvious, Mean Girls is on my list. Also, Dodgeball, Elf, Men in Tights, Pulp Fiction, A League of Their Own, The Breakfast Club, and A Christmas Story. Also, a special shout out to two movies in particular: Army of Darkness and The Ref (which are a shade darker than a lot of the movies noted here). Notable quotes include “This is my boomstick!” from Army of Darkness. Also from The Ref “Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! The corpse has the floor!” and “Grandma’s chewing through her gag again.”

The thing I quote more than anything else though is definitely Firefly (TV, obviously). Namely, when confused: “She understands. She doesn’t comprehend” and when making a mess while eating “My food is problematic.”

When I have not heard from D2 for days- used in a text message- she totally gets it.
‘sanka- you dead mon?’ I usually use alive instead of dead though. It’s from Cool Runnings.

From some Austin Powers movie - “Get in My Belly!”

Rudy “I can do it, coach”

Airplane! “Roger, Roger”

And for those The Princess Bride fans - there’s a cute book by Cary Elwes about the making of the movie. It also contains stories contributed by a lot of the other actors. It’s called “As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride”.

  1. From Meatballs with Bill Murray, a movie about raging teen hormones and coming of age at summer camp.

Wealthy snotty kids at Camp Mohawk are on brink of winning the big competition over the cut rate kids at Camp Mohawk and lead advisor Bill Murray gives them an inspiration speech the night before the finals ultimately leading a chant where they are all in unison screaming…

It just doens’t matter !
It just doesn’t matter !!
It just doesn’t matter !!!

Of course all the “loser” kids deliver in the end, and they win, probably because the pressure was taken off of them to do so.

Still a great movie.

  1. Finding Nemo Just keep swimming, just keep swimming (Dory)

Has to be a tie between Airplane and Animal House.

“I’m lookin’ for a man named Joe Kidd.” Villain Robert Duvall in ‘Joe Kidd.’

“You gonna git your mind right.” The prison captain in “Cool Hand Luke.”

“I got the motive which is money and the body which is dead!” Chief Sam Gillespie in ‘In the Heat of the Night.’

Also from ‘In the Heat of the Night’…

“It would give me a world of satisfaction to horsewhip you!” “My father used to say that. He even did it a few times.”

“Virgil? That’s a fancy name…what do they call you up north in Philadelphia? They call me MISTER TIBBS!”

This is a fun thread! I might have to post more than once.
