There are a lot of famous move quotes, with many being used in day to day language.
Which ones do you like to use and for what purpose.
For example; 'That's no moon. It's a space station. ' Often used when referring to something larger than expected.
Or when thinking of NP&E, 'You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious'.

Any better?

"Lets get the hell out of here!" (said in the same manner as Tuco in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly") when I'm leaving the pub, office, supermarket car park etc

From Predator.

It's, 'dug in there like an Alabama tick' when I'm faced with a windscreen stuck in with No Nails.

TV not movie, but I keep an old spare phone in the car with a PAYG Sim.

I have to use it every 6 months to keep it alive so text "POLLOS" to my main phone.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat" from Jaws can be adapted to various occasions where an item that someone has prepared for a situation turns out to be grossly inadequate

I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Any task you're not comfortable with. In fact, anything you don't want to do.

"English, motherfker, do you speak it?" from Pulp Fiction when somebody isn't making any sense

"That's what it is" from the hotel scene in Beverly Hills Cop when Axel is pretending to be a reporter, when confirming why something isn't working.

"Get the fk outta here!" from BHC again.

"Get to ze chopper" from Predator. For no reason other than I like it really.

"Let's make like a tree... (and get outta here)", Back to the Future.

Loads of others. I'm quite sad aren't I?

'A hole is a hole is a hole.'

When digging/drilling any hole.

Also, from the same film, when someone says 'you're late!'

I always reply, 'one day I won't come at all.'

Exit pursued by bear.

I think Hot Fuzz has given me mine, although paraphrased Police are always "Policeman Officer" and when asked my birthday the response is always "every year".

"Punch it chewie" when I've finished assign tasks to a colleague.
"tis but a scratch" when I get hurt
"st, rollers" when I see a police car
