One of our shared favorites is: "Big gulps, eh? ............Welp, see ya later."
And randomly we say "Your mom goes to college" (if you can tell me what movie this is from, I will seriously applaud you) A favorite from Seinfeld that is completely random is "woah, that's a lot of potatoes" "I like that boulder. That's a nice boulder" (replace boulder with whatever we're talking about. This is from Shrek)
"Your mom goes to college" is from Napoleon Dynamite.

We pretty much only communicate in movie quotes.
"Your mom goes to college" is a common insult here too. When we're meal planning "Honey, you think KFC's still open?" "Hallelujah, holy shit, where's the Tylenol" "Yeah, well, you know, that's just your opinion man."
OMG, we have so many. H knows Ferris Bueller & Shawshank by heart, so he'll quote those all day.
"And proud we are of all of them" "She kidnapped herself." "It really tied the room together"
etc.
I hope this link works. Someone left a talking big lebowski key chain in my H's work vehicle and my kids ended up getting a hold of it. Their favorites to repeat are, "the dude minds, man" and "careful man, there's a beverage here". The 3 year old saying this never gets old. www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PLG2001
My husband regularly says "help is on the way, dear." I don't know why that quote from Mrs doubtfire has stuck in his head. He says that every time I yell to hurry after a huge spit up or a diaper explosion.
"That wouldn't be TODAY" from Groundhog Day. They used it for having hot water. We use it for basically everything. Actually we quote that movie a lot!
Ghostbusters, too. "Ghostbusters, what do you want?" "I've quit jobs better jobs than this."
DH is a movie quoting machine. I am not so much unless it's an 80's or Disney movie.
I'm trying to think of it, but I don't think I know that one. Maybe because I'm from the west. Then again I'm drawing a blank on any Canadian TV movie from then that I would have seen.
Also not from movies or TV but I use quotable quotes from sports press conferences a lot. * Why do we play? You Play to Win The Game. Hello? You play to win the game. * Playoffs? PLAYOFFS? * They are WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE. * We're just talking about Practice, man.
No clue. The only bad Canadian TV movie I can think of is Under the Piano. Eating spaghetti with Uncle Vinny!
Ok, ok, no one is going to get it! It's from Plague City: SARS in Toronto - the CTV movie about the SARS epidemic. The previews were shown on CTV ad nauseum for a while and featured a sick patient saying in a desperate tone, "I've made...a terrible mistake..."
I wouldn't have figured this out...ever. I was trying think about local current events at the time and drew a blank. My current events at the time featured Richmond Row. I kind of recall the commercial though. Or it's over of those fake memories now.
The Love Actually thread reminded me of movie lines that become jokes for no particular reason.
DH and I go around saying "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" quite often. No idea how that became a running joke.
We use the fields medal a lot too. And also from GWH - if we were gonna (whatever), we should have done it a half hour ago. We got snacks now! - you give me your six cents now, and I'll put you on a plan Rent-A-Center style. - I swallowed a bug - fuck you and your Irish curse - you're SUSPECT
H is from NH and can do a solid Boston accent, so it's extra fun. I am pretty sure I quote Heathers all the time without even realizing it anymore. Also Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, and Early Kevin Smith.

"What is this? A centre for ants?"
"____ is really, really ridiculously good-looking."
"Ma! The meatloaf!"
"DS is 'in a glass case if emotion.'"
"We're going streaking!"
"You're my boy, Blue."
Also the bunk beds/room for activities, the Home Depot/BB&B previously mentioned, and anything and everything from Christmas Vacation and Napoleon Dynamite.

lol, no wonder when I googled it when I was stumped, nothing came up!!!
I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, ___!
___ is for closers.
___ really tied the room together.
We're coming to get you, Barbara (omg, all the time. I had to restrain myself from putting the video in the post where @vicmo said her name is Barbara)
TV: "I made a huge mistake." I say this ALL THE TIME but only like 5% of people know where it's from.
PIVOT.
What am I, a farmer?
I was in Starbucks the other day, and the dude in front of me was flirting with the barista. I was tapping my foor being annoyed because I just wanted to get out of there, and he told the girl his name was Warren. So I almost announced "I don't feel the need to explain my art to you, Warren." But I didn't. And THEN he went into this convoluted story about how his name wasn't actually Warren, yadayadayada, and I almost yelled "your name isn't fucking Warren!!" But realized everyone there was probaly born after that movie came out. Sigh.
Oh and I quote Reality Bites a lot. You'd be amazed at how often "you look like... A doily" can be used in context.
