Only thing I can think of isn't from a movie but, "No soup for you".
I haven't checked on the list yet, but I was wondering about the rules last night. Some of the movies obviously have numerous memorable lines, but in some cases, not all of them need to be mentioned.
For example, it was obvious that they would use "May the Force be with you" (which is spoken by numerous people in one form or another), but in sci-fi circle (or I should say, at cons or in game rooms), I hear more variations on "Use the Force, Luke" the MtFbwy.
As for "Casablanca", that film is loaded with quotable quotes. A newbie might think the film was one giant cliche until informed, "No, this is the film were all those lines originally came from."
"Round up the usual suspects." "I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- ..." (the rest of the line doesn't matter, that's the part that's overused).
Okay, I'm off to list the list and the rest of this thread.

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

Old western from the sixties that I cannot recall.
"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
That said, what the hell is "Plastics"? What does that mean? Why is it Number 42? Look down at Number 63 -- "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me." Hello!! *Everyone* knows this line.
Sheee-it. When I think "plastics" in a movie, I think "It's a Wonderful Life", but probably only 'cause I've seen it 400+ times.
Which reminds me: Where are "Zuzu's petals?" One of the most-watched movies of all time and they couldn't find a single line worth mentioning? (I'm wondering what the full list of nominees was.)

Clark Griswold: Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

Shalom.
Where's "When the chips are down and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go in there and win one for the Gipper."?
Not only is that a well-quoted (and parodied!) line, but it named an actor for life, who if I'm not mistaken, went on to do some other important things (and make a few more important quotes while he was at it!)

Harry: Alright, I'm standing on the street corner and Mrs. Grey there comes up and propositions me. She says if I come home with her, for five dollars she'll put on an exhibition with a Shetland pony.
Mrs. Grey: If this is your idea of humor, Inspector...!
Examiner: Alright, what are you trying to do here Callahan?
Harry: I'm just trying to find out if anybody in this room knows what the hell law's being broken- besides cruelty to animals.
Idiotic.
