This is a TV show, but one of my kids tries to describe something to us that is completely non-sensical, MH and I say "Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you want to see?"
(From Seinfeld, where they published Kramer's number as the MoviePhone number and he tries to provide the movie times to callers.)

The kids, of course, have no idea what we are talking about.

My mom threatened to kick me, my brother and my dad out of the house when we turned basically every dinner together into a Seinfeld quote-a-thon. 

[Saudade]

I quote Drop Dead Gorgeous daily as well as Little Miss Sunshine

My other favorite is: “ This horse is a diabetic!!!”

[dontlook]

“Shut your mouth when you’re talking to me”- wedding crashers
Said whenever H and I don’t like whatever the other is saying.

My brother and I like to quote the Fugitive to each other a lot - "I don't care" said in Tommy Lee Jones's voice and "I.don't.bargain."

Haha, me and H never watched The Fugitive together but we both loved it as kids. If I see orange peels I say "we're eating oranges and making ID's". I need to watch that movie in my adulthood.

"I'd like to take his...face...off" from Face/Off with Nicholas Cage. I don't know how I manage to work that into regular conversation, but it has becoming a running joke with our group of friends that I do, often. It took several uses of it for my bff's dh to question me on what it was from, and when the rest of us realized he had never seen the masterpiece that is Face/Off we made him watch it. And then the next Christmas, I gave a Nicholas Cage flip sequin pillow as my white elephant gift.

Ha, I was coming in to say this. That and “I wish the lord would take me” (Tony’s mom in The Sopranos)

YES! Love it. I probably watch that movie once a year, at least. It's a comfort movie for me.

So many

Billy Madison is a household fav
"Stop looking at me, Swan" - anything/body looking toward anyone for an awkward amount of time
"Snack-pack! You're the coolest!" Said about anything one of us gets from the grocery store that the other really enjoys
"He called the shit poop"
My H calls me Devil Woman

Talladega Nights "There's a cougar in the car!" We say it about our cat being anywhere funny

Not a movie, Friends. "You ate my sandwich?!?!?!?"

Off the top of my head

[mags]

"Put the candle back" Young Frankenstein

"You can't handle the truth" A few Good Men

"Yippee ki ay, Mother fucker" Die Hard

[beerlover]

No idea why but at least once a year my brother or I will text each other "they're turning the ship around. They're taking us back to Germany." - from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Not a movie, but we also use "why don't you go purify yourself in the waters of lake Minnetonka?" from Chappelle Show.

This post inspired me to put it on. I cannot believe how old everything looks!

so many of the quotes in this thread. The “I like the baby one!” When he’s praying to baby Jesus. “He was a man!!”

Indiana jones - “no ticket”

Everything Mel brooks, bill murray (all of cadyshack - I don’t think the heavy stuff is going to come done for a while”). And ones others said - were big in quote. The ones that really get us are the odd movies others don’t quote like 12 angry men. Apparently that Seven “what’s in the box? line gets quoted by dh and all his work colleagues in their homes.

ETA: Mom says "Alrighty then" from Ace Ventura all the time, haha.  And Dumb & Dumber is heavily quoted - ' so you're sayin there's a chance!'  My kids quote it now too, which is so funny from 7 yr old DD.  When something dies of an unnatural cause we tend to say "yeah, he was pretty old..."

Love saying "baby steps...." from What about bob. DH and I can also speak universally in show/movie quotes.  And often think of the same ones for situations.  We usually joke that the next step is divorce or murder/suicide b/c we've gone as far together as we probably should.

I don't know MARGOT - Christmas vacation
You'll shoot your eye out - Christmas Story
Are you too good for your home? - Happy Gilmore
Penguin! I see what's goin' on around here - Billy Madison

[basilosaurus]

Half of blazing saddles. I blame my dad who always quoted it.

I carried a watermelon (dirty dancing) is probably the one that's least understood. It comes in handy surprisingly often.

A few already mentioned like you're killing me smalls and we're gonna need a bigger boat

You're turning violet, violet. I can't right now think when and why I use this, but I know I do.

[Waytob]

So many from the 80's its hard to pick one

MH and I use "Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave" from Madagascar alot
"Say hello to my little friend" - Scarface - whenever I have to get the pup in the bath, brandishing a shampoo bottle
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley" - Airplane (every time I watch it I always find a new giggle)


A few good men and Top Gun for sure

[lavenderblue]

The two I use most frequent are probably:

"You're killing me smalls" - Sandlot
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness" - Annie

She was great for that

Livia: Why does everything have to have a purpose? The world is a jungle and if you want my advice Anthony, don't expect happiness. You won't get it. People let you down and I'm not naming any names but in the end you die in your own arms.
A.J.: You mean alone.
Livia: It's all a big nothing. What makes you think you're so special?

"Two weeks" from the Money Pit

[tacokick]

Oddly both of mine involve Pugsley from the Addams Family movie.

As I get up and come downstairs after everyone else “where’s the party?” and when the dogs are curled up on their bed she “looks like a little entree” .

Sometimes when someone asks "Is everything alright?" I can't help but answer "Yup, two corpses, everything's fine!" (Clue)
