There's a reason why we all smile a little inside when we hear "Your Mom goes to college" or "Samsonite! I was way off!" It's because the lines being quoted are so synonymous with the movie, that we instantly remember all of our favorite scenes. Sure, some quotes are obviously overplayed - i.e. "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refused" and "I'll be back" - but we're not going to stop using them, no matter how corny they may be. The lines are so memorable, that it's become one of those "it just had to be said" moments.
Half of the AFI's top 100 movie quotes have exceeded the popularity of the movie itself (I'm looking at you Jack Nicholson in 'A few good men'). In many instances, the lines have become household quotes that we use in every day speech. Who among us hasn't uttered the words "There's no place like home" or "Keep your friends close, but your enemyies closer." Most either don't remember where the quote is from, or haven't even seen the movie, but have heard the quote often enough to use it in every day life. (By the way, if you didn't know those were movie quotes, the former is from 'The Wizard of Oz', the latter from 'The Godfather Part II')
Below are some of my favorite movie quotes (In no particular order). Try to guess what movie they're from. Also, please comment if you agree, disagree or want to share some of your own:
1. "When this baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious S#!+"
2. "The Dude Abides"
3. "Hamburgers! The Cornerstone to ANY nutritious breakfast"/"Royale with cheese"
4. "Genius, Billionaire, playboy, philanthropist"
5. "Milk was a bad choice"
6. "You know, If my dog was as ugly as you, I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards"
7. "Yeah... well... you know, that's just, like... your opinion, man"
8. "I eat pieces of S#!+ like you for breakfast"
9. "I aint got time to bleed"
10. "Tiberius? You kidding me? No, that's the worst."
11. "Now that's what I call a close encounter"
12. "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$... and I'm all out of bubble gum"
