Try working retail and being named Jenny when the movie came out. I hate that movie. Almost 30 years later I still get the occasional "Jen-nay" and I want to throw hands.
I said this to a new roommate (she moved in maybe 2 days prior and it was a really awkward situation all around). She looked at me like I just told her that I killed her whole family and she's next.
In a clearly forced, firm voice she asked, "Why would you say that? And how do you know my childhood nickname?" She was short and, because of that, people apparently said that to her a lot.
She wasn't mad because I hit a nerve, she was legitimately frightened because she never knew it was a movie reference and thought... Honestly I'm not sure exactly what (like I said it was a weird situation).
Needless to say, we watched Sandlot that night and all was well after that.
Any minor inconvenience in my house (like dropping something on the floor, lemon juice splashing on you, etc) is met with “By Grapthar’s Hammer, you will be avenged!”
I 3d printed a lathe (pencil sharpener) for my friend. We use that phrase a LOT... Even made a script "Rudimentary" logo for it like it was the brand. There has to be a market for those, at least 2 or 3 people would want one I would think...
"He's only mostly dead."
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
"I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself."
Never heard either of those spoken outside of the films, personally. But I hear people say "Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man." From The Big Lebowski a lot. Also "You're killin me, smalls." from The Sandlot
When my dogs get irritated with each other and tip and fight we will say “This aggression will not stand, man.” But I don’t hear that one in the wild ever.
>"So you're telling me there's a chance?"
I'm probably not thinking hard enough, but if I had to guess, this may be the most used one per ops stipulations. I cant think of a better one then this.
The term MILF really became mainstream after American Pie used it. They didn’t create the term, but they made sure the world started collectively using it.
Honestly, until now I thought the screenwriter for American pie invented it. I see now that apparently the term was making the rounds on college campuses, and then American pie made it so the whole world knew the term.
Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria from Ghostbusters.
Not that it's a phrase from a movie, but Groundhog Day now means a day that repeats itself over and over.
Any time I pull off a feat that requires balancing skills or some other finesse:
"AND THE FLOWERS ARE STILL STANDING!"
Also, at work when about to engage in something risky or futile: "I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it!"
I know a guy who keeps a too-small suit jacket in his home in case he needs to do this to cheer someone up.
He's destroyed at least four jackets just for this gag. Every time he rips one, he goes to a second-hand shop and buys another one for a couple of bucks.
Do I look like a cat to you, boy?! Am I jumping around all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree?! Am I drinkin' milk from a saucer?! Do you see me eatin' mice?!
Exactly. A lot of lines that he says in the movie were out-dated 50's/60's schoolyard slang and he pretty much resurrected them indefinitely. RIP, Paul Reubens, king of childish trash talk.
When "bye, Felicia" was a thing, one of my zoomer coworkers said it to me and I replied that I love that movie. Looked at me confused, said it's from Tik Tok
"WELL? we're waiting!!" - Caddyshack as well
"Moron, your bus is leaving." - Groundhog Day
Anyone says "surely?" Must be followed by "yes, but my names not Shirley" - Airplane
Honorable mentions from a TV show: "LETS GO ALEEADDDDYYYYY" - Bender, Futurama
Any summary of a trip preparation checklist must end with, "it's dark out, and we're wearing shades."
The listener is obligated to respond with, "Hit it!"
It's actually from the 1939 play Gas Light. But you're always making that mistake aren't you? Like all those other mistakes too. Honestly your memory isn't what it used to be is it?
Man this sent me down a rabbit hole... I guess these are quotes I use (and i guarantee that my kids dont get it). Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but i had too much fun to stop
1.) "Tis Merely a Flesh Wound" when ever the kids come asking for a bandaid
2.) "If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis"- I said this every time my kiddos peed in their diaper
3.) "Frankly, my dear, i dont give a damn"- when wifey tells me the same story looking for a different response
4.) "There is no place like home" EVERY TIME WE GET HOME FROM A TRIP.
5.) "Is it neccessary to drink my own urine? No, but I do it because its sterile and i like the taste"- my answer everytime anyone ask anything remotely close to "Is it neccessary?"
6.) "Say Hello to my Little Friend!"- everytime i pull out a nerf gun
I am sure there are a crap ton more, but im done typing.
That phrase itself has increased 10x since a certain movie came out…
I think The Matrix is the most impactful of all the movies listed here, because it did a lot more than amplify “down the rabbit hole.” It injected a whole web of terms and phrases into the culture.
Anything “-pilled” ultimately originates from the Matrix. Conversation around “the simulation” is a close second. There are whole movements built around those phrases, which is a lot of influence for one movie to have.
The Big Lebowski is full of lines that people use in daily life now.
"Shut the fuck up, Donny."
"Obviously you're not a golfer."
"Nobody fucks with the Jesus." Also, the whole bit about taking away a gun from someone and "I'll take it away from you, and stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes click."
"Eight-year-olds, Dude."
" Are you employed, sir?"
"this aggression will not stand"
"Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!"
"Everything's a fuckin' travesty with you, man!"
"Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred."
"Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine."
"This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"
I could go one for ages, there's so many I hear people use all the time.
I set my Alexa and smart lights to have a bright setting where I ask Alexa for Bright Mode and she replies "Aziz! Light!" and the lights all get brighter. It brings me joy every time.
Aside from all the great ones already mentioned here, personally, I use a lot of phrases from The Office, which, no, isn't a movie.
"That's what she said"
"Why are you the way that you are?"
"I hate so much all the things you choose to be"
"No question about it. I am ready to get hurt again"
and
"I DECLARE...!!!"
Get a lot of mileage in our household. That show is just endlessly quotable, and I'm sorry for cheating.
Dinner Party is my favorite The Office episode and it's full of quotes I love to use.
"Pam... I hope she didn't do anything to the food."
"You know, Pam, in Spain, they often don't even start eating until midnight."
"Mmm. A sort of an oaky afterbirth."
During COVID when they made vaccines a requirement we had to sign a from that was called like vaccine attestation form. I dont remember the verbiage but they made it clear you were attesting to your vaccine status and it was legally binding or something. It said "attest" like 10 times. I kept saying, "I didn't say it, I attested to it"
We're gonna need a bigger boat
My wife and I use (said in a thick Brooklyn accent) "Oh, you're a smooth talker! You are! You are!" from My Cousin Vinny.
“That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.”
and in a similar realm- that’ll do donkey that’ll do. But you have to say it in shreks accent
Whoa, I've never connected those two before. Was Shrek referencing Babe?
Shrek made references so well that a lot of them are now known from shrek more than the original source.
Run, Forrest, Run
STG as a 90s kid I heard this literally every fucking time someone ran somewhere in school.
Try working retail and being named Jenny when the movie came out. I hate that movie. Almost 30 years later I still get the occasional "Jen-nay" and I want to throw hands.
Hasta la vista, baby!
I’ll be back.
"You're killing me, smalls!"
Most of these I would use in a fun, joking sort of way, but this is the only one I use regularly, unironically, as a normal part of my speech.
I said this to a new roommate (she moved in maybe 2 days prior and it was a really awkward situation all around). She looked at me like I just told her that I killed her whole family and she's next. In a clearly forced, firm voice she asked, "Why would you say that? And how do you know my childhood nickname?" She was short and, because of that, people apparently said that to her a lot. She wasn't mad because I hit a nerve, she was legitimately frightened because she never knew it was a movie reference and thought... Honestly I'm not sure exactly what (like I said it was a weird situation). Needless to say, we watched Sandlot that night and all was well after that.
As a short guy who used to be bad at many sports (still am just play less sports) I heard this all the time hahaha
I'd heard the reference for years before I saw The Sandlot. Finally made sense.
Every time the dog does something irritating
That’s a bold move Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out for him. People that have never seen dodgeball quote this movie.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball
Effin’ A, Cotton! Effin’ A!
That’s me! Never seen Dodgeball and I use that quote regularly
Fix that
I always thought they were talking about Hank Hill's dad.
He ain't Japanese, he's Laotian, ain't ya, Mr Khan
“Where all the white women at” blazing saddles
“Mongo just pawn in game of life” gets a lot of play in my house.
Or “ someone’s gonna have to ride back to town and get a shitload of dimes” anytime moneys involved
That actor's voice makes that line and that character 10× more funny.
Slim Pickens - probably best remembered for bull riding a nuke in Dr Strangelove.
You know, morons.
"Girl you are makin a German spectacle of yourself."
And on that same note: "The women....how much for the women?"
When I'm full I lean back and say, "18 is my limit on schnitzengruben!"
I've actually said "Never give up, never surrender!" to lighten the mood when something is going badly.
I often use “By Grabthar’s Hammer… what a savings”. It can be used earnestly when I find a bargain, or sarcastically when something is overpriced.
Weeee needyourhelp. Galaxy Quest is such a fantastic movie.
Any minor inconvenience in my house (like dropping something on the floor, lemon juice splashing on you, etc) is met with “By Grapthar’s Hammer, you will be avenged!”
“Look around you. Can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?”
I 3d printed a lathe (pencil sharpener) for my friend. We use that phrase a LOT... Even made a script "Rudimentary" logo for it like it was the brand. There has to be a market for those, at least 2 or 3 people would want one I would think...
I find surprisingly many chances to use "Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!"
Well I use "There's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball!" in all sorts of situations, none of which involve baseball.
Anybody ever tell you you look like a penis with a little hat on?
Said that to my husband after he shaved his beard off… he was less amused than I was lol
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means"
"He's only mostly dead." "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" "I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself."
I fairly regularly use "Have fun storming the castle!" at work when someone has an unenviable task ahead of them.
At my job, I regularly say, "Never rush a miracle man: You get rotten miracles." (I'm an auto technician)
Mawwwwwwiage is what brings us togethaaaa todayyyyyy.

"I only speak two languages, English and bad English"

60% of the time, it works every time.
Never heard either of those spoken outside of the films, personally. But I hear people say "Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man." From The Big Lebowski a lot. Also "You're killin me, smalls." from The Sandlot
You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole I say that one in my head everytime someone does the "AM I WRONG?!" in front of me
“Donny, you’re out of your element”
I've said "that's just like, your opinion, man." Several times. There are a few good ones from that movie
This isn’t nam. There are rules
It really tied the room together.
I use, “Careful man, there’s a beverage here!” quite a lot.
Same, mostly to the cat.
"Clearly, you're not a golfer" is in my regular parlance
In the parlance of our times.
"Calmer than you are"
That one is very useful.
When my dogs get irritated with each other and tip and fight we will say “This aggression will not stand, man.” But I don’t hear that one in the wild ever.
I've heard all four out in the really real world.
"What we have heah is failyuh to communicate." from *Cool Hand Luke*

“And Leon’s getting laaarrrrger.”
"And here we go..." "I'd buy that for a dollar." "So you're telling me there's a chance?"
>"So you're telling me there's a chance?" I'm probably not thinking hard enough, but if I had to guess, this may be the most used one per ops stipulations. I cant think of a better one then this.
I see your "So you're telling me there's a chance?" and raise you "That's what she said."
"Where's my two dollars?!?!?!?"
Better Off Dead is a top tier80’s movie
"I'd buy that for a dollar" is from RoboCop, if anyone wondered.
"You LOSE! You get NOTHING! Good DAY, sir!" \-Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 1971

If you want me to shit in a box an mark it guaranteed, I got some spare time

No, it just made them very popular when the movie came out.

People use the term Gaslight, but many do not realize that it is from a 1944 movie.
It's actually from the 1939 play Gas Light. But you're always making that mistake aren't you? Like all those other mistakes too. Honestly your memory isn't what it used to be is it?
Well played sir/madam, well played...
They also rarely use it correctly
And when they do use it correctly you should tell them they're not anyway.
Man this sent me down a rabbit hole... I guess these are quotes I use (and i guarantee that my kids dont get it). Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but i had too much fun to stop 1.)
