TV/Movie Quotes that are part of our culture now

Yappi

Go Buckeyes
These should be quotes that people who have never seen the movie but may use in a conversation because everyone will understand it's meaning.

Some examples:
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat.
My mama always said, Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.
 
 
I was thinking the other day, Dodgeball is littered with quotes like this.

"Ouchtown. Population you bro"
"Bold strategy Cotton."
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood".
"ESPN 8, the Ocho"
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"

So many... Certain films are chock full of quotes and can actually stand alone in this category: Wizard of Oz, Godfather, Caddyshack, Pulp Fiction, to name a couple.
 
"Dying ain't much of a livin, boy"

"Go ahead, make my day"

"I made him an offer he couldn't refuse"

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning...it smells like victory"

"I drink your milkshake"

ha, so of course I put Dodgeball on.


"All players must be vaccinated before play begins."


Also, how could I forget:


"Hold your phone, she's got a cannon!"

"He doesn't have any balls Cotton!"

"They better chickity-check themselves before the riggety-wreck themselves Cotton."

"Good Luck Peter, I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever."

"Thank you, Chuck Norris!"

"Joanie Loves Chachi!"

"Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton"

"Pepper needs new shorts!"

"F'nA" Cotton! F'n'A!"


I feel like "Bah-bah-bah Ballseye!" doesn't get used enough. Jason Bateman is just gold in this.

There's no place like home. How'd I forget that one?

Others I know I've used.

You talking to me?

Win one for the Gipper.

What do you mean I'm funny?

Love means never having to say you're sorry. Yeah, didn't work.

You'll shoot your eye out. A Yappi board standard.

Casablanca has some older ones. Probably the top two are:

*Play it again, Sam.

Here’s looking at you, kid.



Granted, they’re dated and no longer part of the current vernacular but there are a few more very well know ones:

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We’ll always have Paris.

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

Round up the usual suspects.


*actually misquoted but inspired the Woody Allen movie title named after it...actual quotes were Play it, Sam & Play it once, Sam. Play it again, Sam was uttered once in the movie, but not by Rick.
 
A couple of my favorites I left out on my earlier post

"Alright, alright, alright."
"You know what I like about high school girls? I get older and they stay the same age."
"Watch the leather, maaaan."
