Monty Python Quest for the holy grail.

Every character, every scene

I think this is the correct answer, at least in English language.

From the top of my head in roughly the right order:

Tis but a flesh wound You're father smells of elderberries We want...a shrubbery Watery tarts throwing swords at people is no basis for a government She turned me into a newt On second thoughts, it's a silly place Bravely bravely ran away You have to know these things when you're a king you know

It took growing up to get it, but I love the scene where the peasant is explaining to King Arthur that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a terrible basis for a system of governance.

Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!

You don't need any help from me, sir.

That's right! ...

Everything Mel Brooks.

Airplane!

The Producers

Blazing Saddles... etc.

So many of his movies have such memorable lines and jokes that still hold up today.

Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

Aw man, I shot Marvin in the face.

You know what they call a quarter pounder in Paris?

And you will know that I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Is there really a line which isn't quotable in this movie?

Ghostbusters:

  • Back off man - I’m a scientist 

  • Listen! You smell something?

  • What about the Twinkie?

  • Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

  • Yes it’s true, this man has no dick

  • Ok, so… she’s a dog

  • When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!

  • Aim for the flat top!

  • Cross the streams

…and much much more

Super Troopers

From "The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries!" to "BEARFUCKER! DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?!" almost every line in that movie is quotable and relevant to most situations.

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It's a dry heat

Nuke it from orbit

There goes our salvage guys

You got the duty, open that bag

Mostly

The top two are obviously familiar, but certainly wouldn't attribute the first one to that movie. I don't think I've ever heard the next two phrases used or remember them from the movie, and never heard anyone use 'mostly' as a reference from that movie.

Maybe it's an insider thing

The "Mostly" thing is the most famous quote from Aliens.

The movie quote for "its a dry heat" is from Aliens but I think it is a common phrase used in places like Arizona.

I probably didn't pick the most well known ones, but watch the film (which is always worth doing) and you'll see.

"Get away from her you bi tch"

The "dry heat" line comes from Hudson when they first go into the reactor/nest and they're looking around, just before the attack.

Makes sense, but it still seems like all the recognizable 'quotes' mentioned are quotes the movie used, and not ones that are came from the movie itself, to the point where it would only be in very specific context where anyone saying them would be quoting Aliens.

1

I have several ol' reliables:

Grandma's Boy: "high score? What's that mean?"

Snatch: "when you're in reverse, things tend to come from behind ya."

Tombstone: "i got two guns, one for each of ya."

Big Lebowski: "he's a good man Jeffrey. And thorough."

There's more, but those are probably my most quoted.

A lot of quotes from the Batman Dark Knight have become pretty common lingo or at least widely recognized, like "not the hero we deserve but the one we need" or "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" or even "some people just want to watch the world burn" or "it's not about the money, it's about sending a message", maybe also popularizing the whole "immovable object vs unstoppable force" etc.

He called the shit poop!

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I recently rewatched the prequels with a friend and we quickly decided to count the number of scenes/lines that are used as memes and reactions.

Don't remember of the top of my head, but it was in the triple digits.

Star Wars is absolutely quotable on a minute by minute basis - if you like the meme culture around it : ^)

At this point, it's easier to count the prequel lines that haven't become memes.
