What is the most quotable movie of all time?

Aliens. Every second line in that film is a stone cold classic.

''Get away from her you bitch!''
''Game over man, game over''
''They mostly come at night, mostly''
''I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit, It's the only way to be sure''
''Why don't you put her in charge''
''We're on an express elevator to hell, going down!''
''That's inside the room''
''Somebody said alien, she thought they said illegal alien and signed up.
Fuck you man.
Anytime anywhere''

I could think of at least 20 more. I haven't even put an Apone quote in there.
 
Midnight Run

The film is so quotable and absolutely full of great lines, my favourite De Niro film and just a damn fine comedy action film.

"MARV! LOOK OUT!"

"I'm Agent Moseley, FBI"

"I'm gonna get some donuts"

" I CAN'T FLY! THESE THINGS GO DOOOOOWN! THESE THINGS GO DOOOOOOWN!"

"Why don't you quit it'll be cheaper for both of us"

"Is this moron number 1 ? Put moron number 2 on the phone "

"Sidney, don't you say a fuckin word or I'll stab you through the heart with this pencil"
 
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch!

King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off!

Black Knight: No, it isn't.

King Arthur: What's that, then?

Black Knight: [after a pause] I've had worse.

King Arthur: You liar!

...

Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

What makes you think she's a witch?
:
Well, she turned me into a newt!

A newt?

... I got better.

Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped.

Don't like her? What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land.

I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little *bunny*, isn't it?

Would it help to confuse it if we run away more?

And more really. And if you played D&D back in its heyday, you probably heard every one of these every session.
 
I'm usually quoting either Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz:

"Café Olé"
"You've got red on you"
"He's not in"
"It's on random"

"Morning, Angle"
"Any luck catching them killers then?"
"Yarp!"
"Don't worry Andy, it's just Bolognese!"
 
Dumb & Dumber

This guy knows. Maybe not the most famous quotable movie, but it has so many quotes in it that no movie comes close to it.

It's 2017. The only people who pick up on Casablanca references are those who live n the alleys behind abandoned Blockbuster stores.

Yeah, if you ignore the fact that the most famous Casablanca quotes are used over and over again in current movies as well. That movie is filled with some of the most famous quotes in movie history.

I think I was 9 when I first saw that film, and regularly used the phrase 'rapist wit', having no idea what it meant.

I still use it nowadays.

I'm from Finland and have lived all over Europe in the past 15 years or so, and everyone can quote that movie no matter what language they speak. You could probably list like 20-30 quotes from that movie, easy.

Affirmative
 
"Zed's dead baby"
"Mm... That IS a tasty burger"
"I don't remember askin' you a god damn thing"
"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"
"Say what again"
The entire "Royal with cheese" conversation
The Bible quote
Hell pretty much the entire film

Airplane and any Monty Python film are also good answers.

Hold onto your butts

That's a huge pile of shit

I really hate that man

Clever girl
Took me until "Clever girl" to figure out what movie this is.
 
No one mentioned Lord of the Rings yet? Surprising. It's been meme-ifyed because its quotes. Plus it has some actually stellar lines.

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
"I will not say, do not weep, for nat all tears are evil."
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
"A red sus rises. Blood has been spilled this night."
"Not all those who wander are lost."
"I cannot carry it for you, but I can carry you!"
"My friends. you bow to no one."

"You can't simply walk into Mordor."
"Fly you fools."
etc.
 
You already said it

Predator

That or Commando
"Let off some steam Bennet"

Whatever it is it'll be a movie with Arnie in it. He is probably the most quotable actor of all time

This post is spot on.

Commando I'd say, I can quote the entire movie while watching it.
 
For me it's La Classe Américaine

I can have whole discussions with people just by using quotes from this.
"Il est déjà 9 heures ?"
 
Aliens.

Game over man
We're in some real pretty shit now man
It's game time
How can they cut the power man they're animals?
Get away from her you bitch
How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
They mostly come at night, mostly
Did IQ's just drop sharply whilst I was away?
I hope you're right, I really do.
Lets rock!
Eat this!
Fuck'n A
They can bill me
Not bad for a human


Yeah, it's Aliens.

Also a worthy mention of any Arnold movie. Predator, Commando & both Terminator movies in particular.

As for The Big Lebowski? Can't remember a single quote from that bore fest.
 
Amici miei.
or
Non ci resta che piangere.

or something Monty Python or Monty Python-ish like a Fish called Wanda.
or the Big Lebowski


oh no wait, scratch that.

Most quotable movie of all time is obviously Gone with the Wind

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"
"I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over."
"How do I look?" "Awful. Just awful"
"Why, all we have is cotton and slaves and arrogance."
"I love you" "That's your misfortune."
and the most quoted quote ever
"tomorrow is another day"
 
Friday, Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting have to make up the top three. I'd say T2 and make it four but all of its lines are so cliche that nobody quotes them anymore.

Other good choices: Princess Bride and anything from Monty Python.
 
Star Wars in terms of fans being able to actually remember quotes. There are almost certainly people who can quote the entire movie verbatim. Even the most mundane lines have been parodied or beaten into our brains via pop culture osmosis.

Pulp Fiction is a more personal one. Even the scene where Vincent and Jules interrogate those guys has more quotable lines in it than most movies.

And if you put them together...

Yeah, someone listed a couple of quotes from Pulp Fiction and more than half were from that scene alone.
 
Kung Pow is my personal most quoted movie

"That's a lot of nuts!"
"You go that way.. I'll go home"
"My nipples look like milk duds"
"I am bleeding, making me the victor"
"Again with the squeaky shoes!"
"Pay no attention to (colleagues name), we trained him wrong... as a joke"
"Weeooo"
"Mmmm.. memento"
[nodding head up and down] "No I do not understand"
