Most quotable has to be Seinfeld, even though I'm not a huge fan.

I love Murray's line in Ghostbusters, with that smirk on his face "No human could stack books like that."

Trivia: from what movie is this quote:

"Easy peasy japanesy"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think this line's mostly filler.

And if you add TV shows, after eighteen years there's a good chance that you're quoting the Simpsons every day, though maybe not deliberately.

My favorite quote from that movie is "I fart in your general direction".

Sorry! I just knew there are a lot of fans of this movie here in Cellar Land, so I thought I'd throw that in!

It's Shawshank...that line always sticks with me.

I hafta say I'm surprised at a couple that weren't on the list.

Maybe I'm weird but a LOT of Star Wars (the first three episodes) lines come to mind:
"Do or do not. There is no try."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters."
"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are finished."
"I don't care what you smell, you big oaf!"
"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
"What a piece of junk!"

And I bet the MOST quoted would have to be Terminator:
"I'll be back!"
How could you have neglected that one?

I won't be able to come up with a list all at once. However two movies that get quoted a lot in our house:

Ghostbusters:
Ok so, she's a dog.
Yes it's true. This man has no dick.
Dogs and cats -- living together.
Are you the Keymaster?

My Cousin Vinney:
Does that thing come turbocharged?
A quick in and out procedure.
Oh yeah, you blend.
Hey, hey there little Yankee boy.
Dead on balls accurate? It's an industry term.

The only thing from My Cousin Vinny that made it into our office conversation was "Yoots," as in "two Yoots?"

We just always call Monkey Hall the "Yoot Center."

Given the demographic mix, Monkey Hall as a nickname for the local juvenile detention facility is not sufficiently politically correct, and has fallen into disuse. The change of the name to M. County Youth Center is also responsible.

Yes, especially the lecture on the difference between Nazis and Nihilists.

True, I mean I'm sure everyone on the Cellar has at some point gotten way too drunk at a party and yelled out 'me so horny', um, right?

Just as an aside, I know the person who Ahnuld delivered that line to in the movie. He is a contractor in Fresno now and he designed and landscaped my back patio, but he also used to do a lot of stunt work and pyrotechnics for the movies. According to Dennis, they had fits with the way Ahnuld was delivering the line because he sounded unconvincing with his heavy accent. Of course, everybody knows how the Terminator does "come back" and runs over Dennis, trapped behind the desk in the police station. He'll have free drinks for the rest of his life with all the behind-the-scenes stories he can tell.
