I'm pretty confident I can recite Happy Gilmore from beginning to end.

"stay out o fmy way, or you'll pay - listen to what i say"

"why don't I just go eat some hay, i could make things out of clay or lay by the bay, i just may - what do you say?"

classic!

Well, not to date myself too much, but back in junior high school my friends and I used to go to midnight showings of The Breakfast Club and recite the entire thing. We had our own little "Rocky Horror" type rituals for it...

Other stuff...mostly things people have mentioned.
Various Monty Python:

"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

"We are now no longer the Knights who say Ni.
We are now the Knights who say... "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing! Z'nourrwringmm!""

Stan: But I want to be a lady! I want to have babies. You have to call me Loretta.

Then, of course, there are the Airplane and Naked Gun movies...

"Well, it's a big pretty white plane with a red stripe, curtains at the windows, wheels, and it just looks like a big Tylenol!"

"I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.

Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it."

"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day."

"I'm sorry I can't be more optimistic, Doctor, but we've got a long road ahead of us. It's like having sex. It's a painstaking and arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens."

And Jim Carrey's movies...

""No, excuse me. There's no tag on this. Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five.

I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five.

That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. She's baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough."

"The pen is blue, the pen is blue, the goddamn pen is blue!"

"I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.
Harry: I was thinking the same thing.
Lloyd: That John Denver is full of s---, man."

There are dramas I really like too...but isn't it funny how must people listed comic movies? Those are the ones we remember best, it seems...

I could start reciting Sophie's Choice if you want, but I don't think I could pull off the accent.

matt.

whew. Looks like i picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

Curtis say can't hang say seven up!

Airplane 2:
Before boarding a plane:
"Nervous eh?"
"A little"
"Is this your first time?"
"No, I've been nervous before."

BLAZING SADDLES...

The single funniest line of all time:

"Hey where the white women at?"

(If you haven't seen this movie, you owe it to yourself. Some would call it racist, but really it just shows how ridiculous racism is.)

"Excuse me while I whip this out"

"You shifty n****... they said you was hung!"

"Well they was right!"

My favorite lines!!! *ROFL*

I love the "hung" lines because most people don't get them... I certainly didn't pick it up the first few times I saw the movie (of course, I was about 10 for my first viewings... back them it was all about Mongo punching the horse!)

Written by Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

Kinda puts it into focus, don't it?

matt.

Yeah, when you realize where it came from, it diffuses any racism that some (not myself) try to find.

When you watch the movie, I think it's pretty clear what jokes were written by who, you know?

Gene Wilder was all about the non sequitor, off kilter kind of jokes, and Richard Pryor - like his standup - was poking fun at racism, while at the same time shoving it in the face of people who pretended to be sensitive to hide the fact that they're just closet racists (as, honestly most people really are, black, white or whatever) and Mel Brooks' humor was the glue, the classic bits that held all of it together.

matt.

Actually I believe in the Mel Brooks commentary on the DVD he says that he wrote most of Sherrif Bart/Cleavon Little, and Richard Prior wrote Mongo... so it definitely wasn't all Prior writing Sherrif Bart and Mel Brooks writing the random jokes and Jewish humor (although he must have written the Yiddish-speaking Indian chief, that still cracks me up).

Really? wow that's interesting.
