Most quotable movies: The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons Movie is the most recently released movie to feature in the "Most Quotable Movies" series on this blog.

I'll admit that the first time I watched The Simpsons Movie, I enjoyed it, but ultimately couldn't view it as anything more than an extended episode of the TV series.

However, having now seen the film 4 times since its cinema release, I've grown convinced of its comic genius. The Simpsons Movie is damn funny, combining hilarious sight gags, one-liners, wisecracks and some very taunt scripting. I'm actually very disappointed that The Simpsons Movie wasn't nominated in the Best Animated Film category at this year's Academy Awards. D'oh! Big mistake, Hollywood.

Anyway, here are some of the highlight quotes from the movie:


---------------------------------------------------------------------
President Schwarzenegger: I was elected to *lead*, not to *read*. Number Three!

Montgomery Burns: Well, for once, the rich white man is in control.

Homer Simpson: Thank you, Boob Lady!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA Passenger: Look, we can't keep stopping at every "sop", "yeld", or "one vay" sign!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Home Simpson: D'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHME!!!!!
