Movie Quotes You Actually Quote In Real Life Situations

[MadMonk]

Granted it's fill in the blank but I have to guess a few people around here use "Um yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in to work on Saturday morning. If you could do that for me that would be greaaaat, yeeeeaaaaah", which is from Office Space.

We've used that so much in our office it's now generally loathed. That and one coworker doofus keeps doing the "Mike Mike Mike Mike...guess what day it is?" on Wednesdays. That's getting real old, real fast.

However, whenever you get a cryptic error message that makes no sense, you are free to exclaim "PC load letter? What the hell does that mean?" to vent frustration.

"The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!" - The Jerk
Such a great ice-breaker between me and my then-new boss (I miss her).

Because of my keen foresight and wicked comedic timing (not), I actually got somebody with the "The Hospital? What is it?" comeback line from Airplane!. Got laughs from the people who understood the joke, but an icy stare from the person who'd stepped into it.

How did I possibly forget:
"BACK! To The Future!" (?)

"What is your major malfunction, numbnuts??!!" -- Full Metal Jacket, usually yelled at another driver.

Once in a while (when I can see it's a family member calling) I answer the phone with, "This is Buddy the Elf. What's your favorite color?"

[Jeepnokc]

"What is your major malfunction, numbnuts??!!" -- Full Metal Jacket, usually yelled at another driver.

Although I don't use the line but also from Full Metal jacket "this is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for shooting and this is for fun"

[OKCDrummer77]

Once in a while (when I can see it's a family member calling) I answer the phone with, "This is Buddy the Elf. What's your favorite color?"

Not a movie line, but I sometimes like to answer with "Go ahead, caller. I'm listening" from Frasier.

What? No Casablanca quotes at all? I'm shocked!

That's exactly what I was going to post. "I am Shocked - SHOCKED - that..." I find myself using it a lot.

edit to say Casablanca is one of my top 3 movies. What a classic.

DEAN WORMER!!! (are you like on "Double Secret Probation"? or just undercover?)

Here's one that I drop from, time to time, if the situation merits:
"Waiter . . . There are [snails] on her plate. You'd think that in a fancy restaurant like this--especially with these prices--you could keep the [snails] off the plates!"

[ThomPaine]

Or... "Let's splurge! Bring us some fresh wine."

That movie is great.

I quote a lot of movies. But quotes I actually use IRL...

When the kids ask if we're there yet - "Almost there. Stay on target."

No, and don't call me Shirley.

Careful man, there's a beverage here.

8 year olds, Dude.

Umm yeah, I'm gonna need you to...

I aint got no weapon.

Winky Dinky ho cakes. Ho's gotta eat too.

Regarding the "I'm Shocked - SHOCKED - to find out..." from Casablanca, JUST NOW on CNN, Sen. Marco Rubio is saying that the European leaders are just showboating about being upset at the NSA spying, because they already knew, it's for domestic consumption etc. etc. He then said, "You know, I'm SHOCKED to find out there's gambling in Casablanca." There you have it just today on CNN. I wonder, if we really paid attention, how often people use movie references in everyday life, on TV news, etc.?

[RadicalModerate]

I'm shocked that I haven't paid attention to that . . .
On the other hand . . . "I was born a poor, black child . . ." (Steve Martin, The Jerk)

And another IRL quote:
"Well ain't this place a geographical oddity . . . Two weeks from everywhere." (Coen Bros. Clooney Character)

and honestly . . . in certain situations . . .
"I don't want FOP . . . I'm a DAPPER DAN man."

Now you guys are taking my language. A good friend of mine and I talk almost exclusively in 80's movies quotes. I do it so much I don't even know what are my original thoughts and what came from the movies anymore. I use negative ghost rider a lot but my favorite is "what in the wide wide world of sports is going on here. I hired you people to try and get a little bit of track laid..." I cut it off there. I also say "...and that's when the big bucks start rolling in".

...and don't get me started talking like Forrest Gump because that can go on for an hour.

[RadicalModerate]

"I think I'm going to start watching Spanish Television in case the non-dubbed version of 'Forrest Gump' is shown. So I can learn how to say 'Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get' in a more culturally diverse and sensitive manner."
(The Walter Character. "The Even Bigger Lebowski" [a.k.a. "The Dude II")

Spoken just before "Shut The F*** Up, Donnie." b.t.w. =)
(another IRL movie steal, except I don't know any real-life Donnies)
