"Here's Johnny!" (68th)

Ironically, that is a quote of a quote. It's from TV, natch.

Various Clint Eastwood movies

My favorites:

"Dyin ain't much of a livin boy"

"But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off"

[Tanniker Smith]

While those were funny lines, they're only funny in the context of Animal House. They didn't have cultural impact. On the other hand, "spontaneous" chants of "Toga! Toga! Toga!" were quite common even in my first year of high school, when most of the guys hadn't even seen the film yet.

that was from mr roberts. love that movie, great quote.

[Deguello]

"Do you mind if I shoot?"

Old western from the sixties that I cannot recall.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Some of my favorite Raising Arizona lines:

"Oh, H-I, you're young, you got your health, what do you want with a job?"

"Honey, we gotta get him a Dip - Tet!"

[BTHOtu]

"Get your stinking paws off me, you damned filthy ape."

"So let it be written, so let it be done."

Two of my favorite movies - no current actors in Hollywood come close to Chuck Heston or Yul Brenner.

[NavyCanDo]

Yea I know, I know. It was from Mr. Robets, one of my all time favorite movies. Knew I was in trouble with Mr. Roberts fans as a second after I hit the Post button.

[RMDupree]

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Airplane!

---Surely you must be joking!
---I'm not. And stop calling me Shirley.

---Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

---So, have you ever seen the inside of a Turkish prison?

There are hundreds of memorable lines in that flick. :-D

[Tanniker Smith]

"Do you feel lucky, punk?" from "Dirty Harry" should have been higher than the quote from Sudden Impact.

That's the one I was expecting. Both, I think, are equally quoted, but I'm guessing that "make my day" made a bigger cultural impact at the time. I think it shows up more often in other films and TV shows.

[Inyo-Mono]

Another great line from Tombstone

Kurt Russell as Wyatt: "You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?"

[wolficatZ]

"Why don't you knock it off with them Negative Waves! Why don't dig how beautiful it is out here. Why can't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change!"

LOL

"But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off"

OK, I'll finish it: Ya got to ask yourself one question. Do I fell lucky? Well, do ya punk?

[condi2008]

"Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."

"Give me that baby, you warthog from hell!!"

[mc5cents]

fell=feel

[Tennessean4Bush]

OMG! You are right! I had forgotten.

"Do we have clearance, Clarence?"
"Roger, Roger."
"What's your vector, Victor?"

"What do you make of this?"
"Oh, I can make a hat, I can make a broach, a teradactyl."

[knak]

Definitely! I couldn't think of the rest. LOL

[fatnotlazy]

"You must have been the tallest one in your class."

The blind hermit (played by an unrecognizable Gene Hackman) to the Frankenstein monster (Peter Boyle) in Young Frankenstein
