Re: Most Quotes
Movies only. Great quote films. Comedy tends to lends its self to quotes. Some I forgot. GlennGary Glenn Ross, The Shawshank Redemption, Swingers, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Clerks, Young Frankenstein.

Re: Most Quotes
1. Spinal Tap2. The 40-Year-Old Virgin 3. The Life Aquatic 4. Monty Python's Life of Brian 5. Time Bandits
I can't tell you how many times I've used John Cleese's "thank you very much" line as Robin Hood from "Time Bandits" or Michael Palin's "The problem! It's the problem! I must have fruit!" In fact, "Time Bandits" probably wins the prize for the movie I've quoted most in my life.

Re: Most Quotes
I think it's absolutely no coincidence that Monty Python crops on the lists here as often as they do. And guess what? The Pythons appear on mine too (though I'm more of a mainstream Holy Grailer than Life of Brian, love them both though I do). 1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (which part? my favorites: "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" or "let's not go to Camelot, tis a silly place" or "I'm not dead yet" or "She turned me into a newt....well I got better" or or or) 2. Bridget Jones' Diary (my personal fount, my favorite is by Shazzer, but she's the one who likes to say f**k a lot so...) 3. Clue - ("flies are where men are most vulnerable...that's right!"...."flames, flames on the side of my face...") 4. Spaceballs - ("I'm surrounded by ***holes!!" or "you're right, and when you're right you're right, and you - you're always right!") 5. Back to the Future - (so many from "Great Scott" to "This is heavy" to "I am your density") My runner ups: I know you said no TV, but I gotta throw Flying Circus in there, because I always say, "And now for something completely different" and Friends (so many so many). In movies: The Princess Bride ("have fun storming the castle!"); Dogma (I like quoting Alan Rickman the most); Finding Nemo (I like quoting Dori most); Field of Dreams (for your inspiration); Forrest Gump (too many)...and probably others, but those were off the top of my head.

Re: Most Quotes
Oh, I remember a time when I used to quote "10 Things" a lot. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, so it's kind of dropped from memory, but I believe "I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby" has popped up once or twice in conversation.

Re: Most Quotes
Short Circuit! I was just testing out Netflix view online feature the other day for the first time. I was browsing and watned to watch something I'd already seen before. I saw Short Circuit and remembered seeing it as a kid. Holy shit this is one of the most retarded movies I've ever seen! I will admit the Indian guy had a few good lines though. And Ally Sheedy is pretty hot.
