What quote from the movies do you often use?

Asked by Skaggfacemutt (9820points) February 23rd, 2012

Every family or group of friends have some quotes that have become an “inside joke” between them.

My granddaughter and I often use quotes from “It’s a Mad Mad World”:

“he just went sailing right out there!”
“I cawnt see”
“let me make you an old fashioned the old fashioned way”

The girls at work love the movie “Overboard” and often say:
“everyone wants to be me”
“I’m a short, fat slut”
“give my regards to Schwartzman and Heinliken”

What movie quotes has become part of your conversation?

a loose quote: “The greatest con ever pulled was when your ego tricked you into believing it was you.”

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”

“Why, why, why do you persist!?”

“Because I choose to.”

“We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world”

“As you wish.” The Princess Bride has become a stape in my house, so this one is used a lot in conjunction with Inigo’s famous quote. Oh, and pretty much every line from My Cousin Vinny can be shoehorned into everyday conversation around here.

And for the sake of being cheesy and motivational to my friends, I’ve been caught using the last lines from the original Willy Wonka on more than one occasion.
“But Charlie, don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted.”
“What happened?”
“He lived happily ever after.”

speaking of Princess Bride…

“Inconcievable!”

“I don’t think you know what that word means.”

“HARRY, ITS MARY!” “PICK EM UP!” – Both from Dumb and Dumber. I say “Harry, It’s Mary!!!!!” when I’m super excited. But only to people who I know know what its from otherwise it’s just awkward.

@Kardamom That reminds me of the most used “Wizard of Oz” quote; “I’ll get you and your little dog, too” and from Dumb and Dumber, (which is said after naming off a list of things that are going wrong in your life) “and our pet’s heads are falling off!”

@cprevite I love Monty Python’s Holy Grail. How could I forget “I’m not dead, I feel fine.”

cookieman's avatar

@Skaggfacemutt: Oh yeah, Monty Python movies (and the TV show) are full of great quotes…

“I fart in your general direction”

“How do you know she’s a witch?”
“Well, she looks like a witch.”

Kardamom's avatar

@cprevite And don’t forget:

“She turned me into a newt!”

“I wave my private parts at your aunties!”

“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”

“But father, I don’t want any land. I want to siiiiiiiiiiiiiing!”

“Nie!”

“It’s only a flesh wound.”

“That parrot is pushing up daisies, he is an ex-parrot.”

“Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean? Say no more.”

“I’m a gynocologist, I’m on my lunch hour.” (response to a man noticing another man “wearing” a Scotsman with a kilt, on his head)

“I’m sorry, this is abuse.” (said to a man who mistakenly thought he was in the department of arguments which was down the hall.)

“Welcome gentle Sir Knight, welcome to the Castle Anthrax. Yes, oh, it’s not a very good name.”

And this long, but awesome quote:

“First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once at the number three, being the third number to be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

I use lots of quotes from different movies and shows. It all depends on what sparks the thought. Some of my favorites are….
Seinfeld “No _______ for you!”
The Sandlot “You’re killin me, Smalls”
Rocky Horror Picture Show “Damn-it Janet!”
Young Frankenstein “Now do over here” (Or was that Transylvania 6–5000?)
The Man With 2 Brains “I don’t need nothing but this ashtray… and this_____….. and this _____”
I also love Monty Python “run away!”... “tis but a scratch”... “nudge, nudge, wink, wink”... “i’m not dead yet!”

It’s actually more common for me to quote from songs. If someone says something that sounds like a line from a song, I will continue the lyric.

digitalimpression's avatar

Almost any line from the best (and most underrated) Treasure Island movies of all time starring a much younger Christian Bale and Charlton Heston.

This is gonna be long… I randomly quote a lot of movies all that time…

“You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good.” -Men in Black.

“Don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day.” -Napoleon Dynamite.

“This rates about a 9.0 on my weird-shit-o-meter.” -Men in Black.

“Wow. I wish I could speak Whale.” -Finding Nemo.

“One morning I shot an Elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.” -Animal Crackers.

“If I’m not back in five minutes… Wait longer!” -Ace Ventura Pet Detective.

“I’ll teach you anything. Don’t eat me.” -The Longest Yard.

“What do tigers dream of when they take their little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit? Don’t you worry your pretty striped head, we’re gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed. And then we’re gonna find our best friend Doug, and then we’re gonna give him a best friend hug. Doug, Doug, oh, Doug, Dougie, Dougie, Doug, Doug! But if he’s been murdered by crystal meth tweakers, then we’re shit out of luck.” -The Hangover.

-“What do you mean, Mace?” (Big Top Pee-Wee)

-Pronouncing “a” like in “cat” when referring to a single object; allusion to “I don’t even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.” (Wayne’s World)

-“You must be Larry!” (Said in a funny voice and used in a context of victory. Source unknown, my dad says it and we know it’s from a movie but I’m not sure what!)

@sliceswiththings I love when Peewee throws the egg salad sandwich over a mountain loololollol.

Oh yeah, I quote Peewee a lot too, I forgot. ITS NOT FOR SALE, FRANCIS. or “AAAAAAAAAAAANDY!” “Don’t you worry bout them, they just superstitious”

cazzie's avatar

Come to think of it, we use a lot of references from kids movies, because we watch them with our kids (in both languages.). When I was preggers with Little Man, I called him ‘Squishy’ like what Dory says in Finding Nemo. Now that we moved out to the ‘burbs and have an amazing view and loads of space we say, ‘A fish can BREATH out here.’ and you’d have to see the movie in Norwegian to get the Hei, Hai! joke we use. (Hei means Hi, and Hai means Shark and it sounds really funny when Dory says it in the movie because both words sound the same.) Also, that big shark named Bruce is called Brusk in Norwegian, which is REALLY FUNNY, because brusk means cartilage in Norwegian.

From A Bugs Life, we love, ‘Do I look stupid… to you?’ and ‘Look at me! I am a beautiful butterfly!’. and ‘They come. They eat, They leave.’

“Lightbulb” from Despicable Me
“Hello Gorgeous” from Funny Girl
“Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile” from How To Train Your Dragon
“Bye Elmo!” from Finding Nemo

I also quite often sing “in the military style” in the baby elephants voice from The Jungle Book.

My brother and I used to be able to quote Dumb and Dumber pretty much word for word!

We often imitate the way Jim Carrey says “owwwie” in several of his movies.

@deni Yessss finally some who gets it! There’s SO much Pee-Wee in my family’s vocab, even down to recreating the “Neeauoo” that Francis gives with a wrinkled nose when Pee-Wee suggests that what Francis might want for his birthday is a “new brain.”

@sliceswiththings hahah my family too! One time at a tattoo parlor I saw a design that one of the artists had drawn for a tattoo he was going to give himself…it was a snake wearing a vest rolling a donut. From then on I swore that if and when I got a tattoo, that would FOR SURE be what it is!!!

sliceswiththings's avatar

@deni Ohhh so good. Going to google that and try to find an image to send my brother!

cazzie's avatar

@flutherother somewhere in my memory I recognised that quote and could see Rutger Hauer in my head. Awesome scene. Thanks for reminding me.

@Brian1946 Of course. Silly me.

I don’t use movie quotes that often in speech (I’m really more of an idiom fan), but I do seem to punctuation more than my share of internet banter with Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?.
