We have fun using words and partial quotes out of favourite movies in family conversation. For example
"What kind of (man/person) are you?"
"A *dangerous* one!" said just like Brendan Fraser in "Dudley Do-Right"
"Americans!" said like Jonathan Hannah in "The Mummy"
"(He has) a name, and it's a boy's name too!" as in Mulan
"Nothing Shocks me, I'm a scientist" (Indiana Jones in the "Temple of Doom")
These are what come to mind right now. I might post more if I remember later. Anyone else use quotes and quote snippets like this?

Here is a small selection of quotes I use a lot. Sad thing is, almost all of them are before my time.

Awwww! I'm gonna get you, string! (Cat, Red Dwarf)
The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite, would you like a toasted tea-cake? (Toaster, Red Dwarf)
Advance and attack. Attack and destroy. Destroy and rejoice. (The Daleks,Doctor Who)
While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?! (Miracle Max, The Princess Bride)
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! (French Knight, Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
Just a flesh wound. (Black Knight, Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
Run Away! RUN AWAY! (King Arthur, Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
I lost. I lost? Wait a minute; I'm not supposed to lose! Let me see the script! (Robin, Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
I can see! [WHAM!!] Nope, I was wrong. (Blinkin, Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
I don't know what to do! I can't make decisions! I'm a president! (President Skroob, Spaceballs)
Ah! Dessert... Chilled Monkey-Brains! (Dinner Guest, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)
"X" never, ever marks the spot. (Indy, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. (K, Men In Black)
No, Elvis is not dead. He just went home. (K, Men In Black)
Time to save the world again? (Bryce, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider)
Give my regards to King Tut! (Jack O'Neil, Stargate)
Nothing? Nothing! Nothing, tra, la, la? (Jareth The Goblin King, Labyrinth)
Don't go that way! Never go that way! (The Worm, Labyrinth)

That's all for now, but I'll probably have more later.

Two Weeks! (Arnol Scharzenegger, Total Recall)
I wear tuna fish sandwich (from the comedy routines of Steve Martin)
Put the bunny back in the box (Nicholas Cage, Con Air)
What we've got here is failure to communicate (Captain, Cool Hand Luke)
Sometimes I just think funny things (Dudley Moore, Arthur)
It's so small, they recently had the whole country carpeted (Dudley Moore, Arthur)
Oh, you're a hedge! (Dudley Moore, Arthur)
I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this! (Steve Martin, The Jerk)

And the same as Dragonkin, I'll probably think of more later.

Clara Sue!

One of my favorite movie quotes of all time:
And I don't need one other thing, except my dog... I don't need my dog. (Steve Martin, The Jerk)

heehee

Happy Happy, Joy Joy (Ren and Stimpy)
We actually use that as a locator if we're out in the woods and get separated, or something of that nature. One of us yells "Happy happy" and we wait for the "Joy Joy" response.

Hello, Computer (Scotty from Star Trek IV, and yes, I talk into my mouse when I say it.)

Monty Python:
And there was much rejoicing
Any part of the following, or all of it: Three shall be the number that thou 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.
Nooo, noooo. No, Ni, Ni.
A moose once bit my sister.

Sadly, only Monty Python quotes are coming to mind, and I run a dangerous risk of actually typing out the entire script to Holy Grail, so I'll go away and ask my husband what other movies I quote a lot.

LOL, I had to ask my husband the same thing!

I was watching a show on cable of the 100 funiest movies of all time and it was mentioned that The Jerk with Steve Martin is a movie upon which you base whether you could be friends with someone depending on if they liked it or not. There are so many great lines from that movie.

And others that I thought of that I use:

As you wish, Westley, The Princess Bride
Inconceivable, Vizzini, The Princess Bride
That's all I'm saying, Tiny E, From a Saturday Night Live sketch with Nicolas Cage
It's a vegetable, Steve Martin, My Blue Heaven
Not have way, I guess, Steve Martin comedy routine
Turn to the right, Holly Hunter, Raising Arizona

Apparently my sister and I were highly influenced by the comedy stylings of Steve Martin!

Oh, that's a good one. "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." When I woke up from having my appendix out, the nurse was asking me all the questions they ask to make sure you're coming out of the anesthetic OK. She said, "What's your name?" and I answered, "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." She laughed out loud and said she thought I'd be just fine.

Suprise, suprise, Star Wars geek says dorky Star Wars stuff! (all the time!)
I won't go too far into it, because I can respond to just about anything using SW quotes....
My favorite things to say are,
We seem to be made to suffer, its our lot in life (C-3PO)
Goodness gracious me! (C-3PO)
There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser (Han Solo)
... I'm in it for the money (Han Solo)
I do hope he doesn't try anything foolish (Obi Wan)
(This bounty hunter) is my kind of scum, fearless and inventive (Jabba)
Die Wanna Wanga? (Bib Fortuna)

...I'll stop now!

Heh. I say "Stay on target" a lot. And "These are not the *insert whatever I'm talking about* you're looking for."

Oh gosh you've reminded me of a bunch more I use! Yes and I had to ask my husband too!'
'there was much rejoicing' (Python), or after a big dinner, 'just a little after dinner mint?'

'You can't handle the truth' I use a LOT,
Jack Nicholson in a Few Good men, yup.

'These are not the. .x. you're looking for'and 'don't point that thing at me' and 'I've got a bad feeling about this' and 'my kind of scum' and of course'I felt a disturbance in the force' . all Star Wars.

Best from Princess Bride these days is Vizzini's warning to Wesley "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia..." but lots of great lines from that movie especially "Rodents of Unusual Size .. I don't think they exist..."

I'm back! Here's more, as promised.

Yes Mr. Lister, Sir! Ee, ee, ee! (Lister, Red Dwarf)
Sir, she canna take much more ah this! Y'll shake 'er apart! (Scotty, Star Trek: Original Series)
Tea, hot, Earl Gray. (Picard, Star Trek: Next Generation)
Of course not, silly, you're a boy! (Kira, The Dark Crystal. I usually address that one to my boyfriend.)
Prophets don't know everything! (Kira, The Dark Crystal)
It's a very Russian ending. (Ivanova, Babylon 5)
Indeed. (Teal'c, Stargate: SG-1. Always said with a suitably grave face.)

I also constantly use the "Classic Blunders" speach that Yaarbiriah mentioned along with "Inconcevable!"

Yet again, more later.

Man, I never realized how many movies quotes we use in our lives. Here's a few more I thought of:

This means something. Richard Dreyfuss, Close Encounters of the Third Kind
These goes to eleven. Christopher Guest, This is Spinal Tap

'can I come in?'
'it's too perilous!'
'I can face the peril!' (Python)

Most of mine have been covered here already--funny how we all say the same things.

I do have quite a collection of oft used Star Trek quotes (tv and movie ). The most common one being "I choose the danger". Fits so many situations.

I'll probably have to revisit this post periodically to add more but off the top I'd have to say:

Oooh, that DOES sound good... (Waiting)
Run Forrest, Ruun (Forrest Gump)
What a maroon (Bugs Bunny cartoons)
You can't catch the wind; Is this a musical table?; This is one of those pro-acid, anti-smoking houses; I have a considerable blind spot; (all from Flirting With Disaster)
I love you more than my luggage (Steel Magnolias)
and tons of Seinfeldisms and Arrested Development quotes (though they don't count here)

.........more to follow I'm sure

Okay, here's some more,

I like it alot (Dumb & Dumber)
It's not a tumor! (w/Austrian accent) - (Kindergarten Cop)

LOL I'm back again, remembered more. Dinner the other day husband brought meat loaf to the table. Teenage daughter and I said, independently 'meat loaf.. that is a tender subject' (Rocky Horror). Husband winced and said 'Let us NOT go there, it is a silly place' (Python, Grail)

Other oft quoted Rocky Horror lines:
"'OK'??!! we can do better than that!"
and 'time is fleeting','antici.....pation'

we are bad! lol
