The Senator Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I gotta go with The Godfather - but don't take my word for it... Joe Fox (Tom Hanks): The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli.' What day of the week is it? 'Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.' And the answer to your question is 'Go to the mattresses.' You're at war. 'It's not personal, it's business. It's not personal it's business.' Recite that to yourself every time you feel you're losing your nerve. (From You've Got Mail) . Edited May 14, 2011 by The Senator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsner Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Airplane. [/thread] Awesome thread. Many close ones here. I'll go with Airplane as well for a contemporary film. So many great quotable movies tho. Or perhaps the naked gun movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Lots of great mentions in this thread already. I'll throw in: Cable Guy Billy Madison Spaceballs Almost every single line, in all three of those movies, is quotable. And not in an annoying Borat/Austin Powers catch phrase way.

bbb Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Wizard of Oz Casablanca Great call on Casablanca. The one thing that bugged me is that Bogie never said Play it again, Sam. I have no idea how that came about, as a quote. But, it doesn't mean a hill of beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 If there's ever a remake (which if there was it would be pure blasphemy) then might as well have Bogie say that famous yet imagined line, play it again Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The Outlaw Josey Wales. Many people I've encountered from all over the US, quote lines from it. Not so much as 1-liners, just classic lines from a classic movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
