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.

Monty Python Quest for the holy grail.

Every character, every scene

[–] damdy@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Billy Madison

No milk will ever be our milk.

If peeing your pants is cool then consider me Miles Davis!

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.

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?

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

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] mub@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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"

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

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.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This is the proper answer.

"Would I lie??"

Definitely! “Now Lonestar you see why evil will always triumph…because good is dumb.”

Also, dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

I'm not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That rug really brought the room together.

I see you’re not a golfer.

Mind if a do a J?
