This one's not a competition, it's just for fun. I saw David Gerrold try this on his Facebook page, and there were HUNDREDS of responses--and sure enough, I knew most of them, even the movies I'd never seen.
Just come up with an iconic movie line, or several of them: each one should be so well known that it's instantly recognizable to everyone, even people like me who haven't seen all that many of the movies mentioned in the other thread.
I'll start:
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."
"I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find that gambling is going on in here!"
"Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania station?"
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
That should be enough to give you an idea of what I mean.
GO!

The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon!
You see, George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?
What a swell party this is!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Well, for that matter, I'm sure there must be other movies which contain the word "Rosebud"...but everyone knew which one you meant when you quoted that one word, Bill.
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."

This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world. It can blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky?
A man's got to know his limitations.
Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot.
Actually I believe the first quote is from the first one in the series, Dirty Harry....
ETA:
"Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot."
"When you have to shoot...Shoot! Don't talk"-
(That's from The Good the Bad And The Ugly... Clint made a lot of flicks with well known quotes...you could probably do this game for a long time just using quotes from his movies...)
