Universally the most quotable movie has got to be the Princess Bride (Example A).
Among my little circle I think Napoleon Dynamite wins.
What would you say is the most quotable / quoted movie?

I don’t think this would really count at a “movie” but it is a dvd. Around here at ZHOP we quote lines from “Brian Regan: I walked on the moon” all the time.

Char and Jesse said:
Char: In my family it has to be That Thing You Do. The most quoted line being “You’ve got to be quick, you’ve gotta be quick with me.”
Jesse: Princess Bride is the one that I have quoted the most in my life, but Star Wars is also very quotable. Most Quoted Lines: “You miserable vomitous mass…” “Warthog faced bafoon.” “To the pain!” and the famous “It’s possible, pig.” Interjection by Char: Jesse has three brothers.

I love The Princess Bride, but I’ve got to also put The Sandlot (”If you were thinkin’ you wouldn’t have thought that!” and “For-e-ver!”) and Monty Python and The Holy Grail out there. “She turned me into a newt! . . . A newt? . . . I got better.” (note: must be read in British accent)

Holy Grail! Excellent. I think my favorite quote is the Holy Hand Grenade and the swollow. And I just so happen to have MP3s of those blurps, here and here.

I think the most quotable movie is Tombstone. “I’ve got two guns… one for each of you!”

For a while at school it was Lord of the Rings… specially since it was filmed here… my classmates could sit there for hours reciting back and forth entire sections of the script… and if they had the visuals to prompt them, they could pretty much quote the entire thing.
Me and my friends don’t really have quotable movies… we don’t tend to watch them very much… tho we did watch Cars the other night at our monthly leadership meeting…

Moonstruck! There are some great lines in there….a few for your amusement:
Ronny Cammareri: I love you.
Loretta Castorini: [slaps him twice] Snap out of it!
——
Rose: I just want you to know no matter what you do, you’re gonna die, just like everybody else.
Cosmo Castorini: Thank you, Rose.
——
Cosmo Castorini: I can’t sleep any more. It’s too much like death.
——
Cosmo Castorini: I don’t like him.
Rose: You’re not going to marry him, Cosmo. Do you love him, Loretta?
Loretta Castorini: No.
Rose: Good.
[She looks at Cosmo]
Rose: When you love them they drive you crazy because they know they can.
——-
Loretta Castorini: Did you tell her we’re getting married?
Johnny: I’m waiting… I’m waiting for a moment when she is peaceful.
Loretta Castorini: Well, don’t wait until she’s dead.
——
Rose: How’s the mother?
Loretta Castorini: She’s dying. But I could still hear her big mouth.
——
Johnny: In time you will see that this is the best thing.
Loretta Castorini: In time you’ll drop dead and I’ll come to your funeral in a red dress!
—–
Ronny Cammareri: You’re gonna marry my brother? Why you wanna sell your life short? Playing it safe is just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. You waited for the right man the first time, why didn’t you wait for the right man again?
Loretta Castorini: He didn’t come!
Ronny Cammareri: I’m here!
Loretta Castorini: You’re late!
—–
Rose: Do you love him, Loretta?
Loretta Castorini: Aw, ma, I love him awful.
Rose: Oh, that’s too bad.

Among my circle of influence (my kids), the latest animated fav. “Eat more cookies kids, anything that tastes this good HAS to be good for you!”
Between Randy and I, “FREAKS”, a 1930’s cult classic.
“Google, gobble, google, gobble, we accept you, one of us!”

I must really be out of it. I had to go rent Princess Bride b/c I’ve never seen it before. It was pretty weird. A bit on the Holy Grail side mixed in with SNL. Samantha & I have been quoting The Pink Panther lines… I want to buy a hamburger! It sounds pretty cool with our American accents…. Zee veather iz very nice today.

In my family it’s:
-While You Were Sleeping: “These mashed potatoes are so creamy…”
-Ratrace: “We’re zooming!”
- And the old Budweiser commercial (white boy “wassup?” commercial) “What are you DOING?!?!”
With friends and the onething team:
-Brian Reagan: “You too!” “Can life get better? I submit that it cannot!”

Well personally, i just love the muppets treasure island.
Billy Bones: Beware lads! Beware.
Jim Hawkins: What, the one-legged man?
Billy Bones: Aye. But also, beware runnin’ with scissors or any other pointy object. It’s all good fun, until somebody loses an - Ahhhh!
Rizzo: I’ve gone way beyond afraid. Right now I’m somewhere between bedwetting and a near death experience.
Rizzo: You know, the ocean. The big blue wet thing.
And of course Monty Python.
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn’t vote for you.
King Arthur: You don’t vote for kings.
Woman: Well how’d you become king then?
[Angelic music plays… ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Classic.
