My mother says "you'll both work in the store" from a Sinatra movie she can't remember the name of.

I sometimes say "round up the usual suspects" from Casablanca, and also, referring to movies like Cold Mountain and the English Patient, I like to mix up other lines as "I guess the problems of the whole world don't amount to a hill of beans compared to the desires of two little people".

I can have full coversations with friends using nothing but movie quotes...

A lot of which come from movies like Ghostbusters, Tremors, Bladerunner, Highlander, Yellowbeard, The Usual Suspects, Time Bandits, Eric The Viking, Snatch (maybe THE most quotable movie ever), Almost Famous, Indiana Jones, and on and on and on...

I used that "round up the usual suspects" line on my kids just yesterday. It's like the line from Animal Farm (I read the book but I just checked IMDb--it was an animated movie in 1954.) "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Some of the Roald Dahl stories made into film have particularly good lines. Rowan Atkinson in The Witches looking for a mouse in the cook's pants quips "I don't see much of anything."

I'm probably guilty of using "________? We don't need no steenkin' ________!" a little too often.

And the "All I need is this chair... and this remote control..." bit from Steve Martin's The Jerk.

And calling a phone a "furn" a la Peter Sellers from one of the Pink Panther movies.

It's hard to explain why, but I've had a lot of fun with my kids doing a speech from the Sopranos.

It is scary how many lines we use from movies.   Amos remined me of how many times I've used the "failure to communicate" line on my son. When the movie was on I made him (begrudingly) watch that scene.   

Use the "stinkin badges" line all the time whenever I'm asked- although I don't joke with the security gurads at my office anymore after 9/11.   Also use "round up the usual suspect" a lot and "I'm shocked, simply shocked to see that gambling is going on here" Casablanca certainly gave us a number of lines- "here's looking at your kid"

I also use the line "I have one word for you...plastics" from the Graduate.   From Arnold I use "hasta la vista baby" and "I'll be back"   You know that Arnold, Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone were making a movie about classical conductors.   Cruise was going to play Mozart and Stallone would play Beetoven. Arnold said "I'll be Bach" Sorry about that- I couldn't resist.   I use the "I'll be Bach" line at a lot of contra dances when you have a trail buddy.

So- "Here's looking at you kid, it's the stuff dreams are made of"

One of my faves is Kate Hepburn's line from The African Queen: after their little boat has capsized on the lake after everything else they've been through, they've been picked up by Theo Bikel (the German ship's captain), and he claims she's lying about their trip because it is just not possible to do -- her succinct, comprehensive "Nevahth'less" wipes me out.

And "Whatever suits you just tickles me plunb to death" from The Rounders, with Henry Fonda and Glenn what's-his-face. My hubby and I use this one often.

There have been several appropriate occasions for "This is reality, Greg", from E.T. too.

Ellenpoly is dead right. The Tarzan yell is the most widely used and enduring quote from the movies...and no one even knows how to spell it! Yet what small boy, gorilla or chimp has not pounded his fists on his little chest and yelled "AAHHH-EEEE-AHHHH-EEEEE-AAAHHHHH!!!

Those funny little noises Curly made on The Three Stooges were always popular too. Then there's "What's up, Doc?" from Bugs Bunny, named after Bugsy Siegel.

I know I haven't got the quote exactly right, but I use the following a lot (drawled by Olivia Dukakas, Steel Magnolias): "My dear, that which distinguishes us from the lower orders of the animal kingdom is our ability to accessorize." I think she also was responsible for, "If you can't say anything good about anyone, come and sit by me."

I also like that hobbit line from LOTR 1 (Merry? Pippin?) when they arrive in their first human pub and realize, "It cumz in PINTS???? !!!!!" Plus, of course, the look of complete heavenly amazement as they embrace a bucket of beer...

Oh, and "Burn rubber, Bear". (Kermit to Fonzie, Muppent Movie ... #1?)
