I gotta go with The Godfather - but don't take my word for it...

 

 

Joe Fox (Tom Hanks): The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli.' What day of the week is it? 'Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.' And the answer to your question is 'Go to the mattresses.' You're at war. 'It's not personal, it's business. It's not personal it's business.' Recite that to yourself every time you feel you're losing your nerve.

Airplane.

Awesome thread. Many close ones here. I'll go with Airplane as well for a contemporary film. So many great quotable movies tho. Or perhaps the naked gun movies.

Star Wars

Lots of great mentions in this thread already.

 

I'll throw in:

 

Cable Guy

Billy Madison

Spaceballs

 

Almost every single line, in all three of those movies, is quotable. And not in an annoying Borat/Austin Powers catch phrase way.

Jaws

Star Wars

Transformers the Movie(animated)

Planet of the Apes

Back to the Future

 

My choice...the "old original" classic....Gone With The Wind..."Frankly my dear..I don't give a damn"

Can't believe dumb and dumber hasn't been mentioned yet

You just mentioned it. :D

 

Here's a couple more good ones:

 

Ghostbusters

 

The Blues Brothers

Posted

Wizard of Oz

 

Casablanca

 

Great call on Casablanca. The one thing that bugged me is that Bogie never said Play it again, Sam. I have no idea how that came about, as a quote.

 

But, it doesn't mean a hill of beans.

If there's ever a remake (which if there was it would be pure blasphemy) then might as well have Bogie say that famous yet imagined line, play it again Sam.

The Outlaw Josey Wales.

 

Many people I've encountered from all over the US, quote lines from it. Not so much as 1-liners, just classic lines from a classic movie.
