Most used movie quotes


British movie website, My Films recently conducted a survey to find the memorable movie quotes most used in real life. Over 2 000 people responded, and this was the final Top 10:

Top 10 Movie Lines We Use The Most
1 "I'll be back." (The Terminator)
2 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." (Gone With The Wind)
3 "Beam me up, Scotty." (Star Trek)
4 "May the force be with you." (Star Wars)
5 "Life is like a box of chocolates." (Forrest Gump)
6 "You talking to me?" (Taxi Driver)
7 "Show me the money." (Jerry Maguire)
8 "Do you feel lucky, punk?" (Dirty Harry)
9 "Here's looking at you, kid." (Casablanca)
10 "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." (Dirty Dancing)


Of course, this got me thinking about the movies that are most consistently quotable - single films that are crammed with memorable lines you just love to whip out at parties and appropriate moments in day-to-day life. I thought I'd make this an every-so-often feature, as these films come to mind. And, of course, suggestions are also welcome.

Anyway, to start things off, here's one of my favourite quotable flicks:

Zoolander



The following quotes are sucked off the IMDB:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller): I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry Zoolander (Jon Voight): Damnit Derek, I'm a coal miner, not a professional film or television actor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: Moisture is the essence of wetness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel (Owen Wilson): Are you challenging me to a walk-off... Boo-Lander?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel: Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: I'm not an ambi-turner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: What? Are you here to tell me what a bad eugoogoolizer I am?
Matilda (Christine Taylor): A what?
Derek Zoolander: A eugoogoolizer... you know one who speaks at funerals.
Derek Zoolander: Or did you think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogooly was?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: At the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, we teach you that there's more to life than being really, really good looking.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel: They're *in* the computer?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mugatu (Will Ferrell): The man has only one look, for Christ's sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matilda: I became...
Hansel: What?
Matilda: Bulimic.
Derek Zoolander: You can read minds?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: Why do you hate models, Matilda?
Matilda: Honestly?
Hansel: Yes.
Matilda: I think they're vain, stupid, and incredibly self-centered.
Hansel: I totally agree with you. But how do you feel about male models?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel: I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mugatu: Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mugatu: It's that damn Hansel! He's so hot right now!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mugatu: Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel: Listen to your friend Billy Zane, he's a cool dude!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry Zoolander: I just thank the Lord she didn't live to see her son as a mermaid.
Derek Zoolander: Mer-man!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small...
Derek Zoolander: I don't wanna hear your excuses! The building has to be at least... three times bigger than this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: I think I'm getting the Black Lung, Pop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hansel: I guess you can dere-lick my balls cap-E-tan.
Derek Zoolander: I can Dere-lick my own balls, thank you very much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mugatu: Do as you are trained... AND KILL THE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: How bout I answer your question with another question; how many abo-digitals do you see modelling?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Zoolander: Look, I gotta go pee, but I'd really like to continue talking about this conversation when I come back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brint, Meekus, Rufus: Orange Mocha Frappuccino!
