List is from the Beeb, I omitted some of the less popular ones as the poll would be too large/diffused. Gave people three choices to make it interesting. Also state any which aren't mainstream for the purposes of GAF to judge.

 

[kunonabi]

I drink your milkshake - There Will Be Blood

 

[Patrick S.]

"Why so serious" is the only one I've ever heard in real life. I say "Wakanda Forever" whenever I'm saying goodbye to my son, and I use "You shall not pass", too, all the time.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

"You can't win!"

Adrian to Rocky at the top of the stairs.

 

[Mistershine.]

 

[Dusktildawn48]

"You shall not pass" is literally my favorite movie scene ever so I'll go with that. Ian McKellen is a international treasure.

 

[epicnemesis]

I find the lack of Anchorman quotes disturbing.

 

[Armorian]

 

[QSD]

I find the lack of Anchorman quotes disturbing.

Well, that escalated quickly

 

[Reality Czar]

Voted Gandalf. Watching those movies was like living inside of a Led Zeppelin record.

 

[HarryKS]

Too bad it came out in 1998.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

All of those in the OP suck. Hella overrated.


"Ya never had me, ya never had your car"

 

[AV]

Too bad it came out in 1998.

The funny thing is, the writer overheard Snipes say that on set and thought it was so cool, he just had to write it in, even though Snipes argued because it makes zero sense for him to use it when he does.

 

[Alright]

 

[Oberstein]

 

[EverydayBeast]

This is Sparta is a real good one

 

[Dark Star]

 

[MrS]

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint

 

[Aesius]

"You motorboating son of a bitch!"

"60% of the time, it works every time"

 

[DGrayson]

great poll. I cant vote for Spiderman because to me this is a quote from the 60s (I wasnt alive then just saying this is a spiderman comic quote, note a movie quote).

I voted for Nemo and LOTR

 

[Evil Calvin]

You missed one:

Uh Oh. Sounds Like Somebody’s Got A Case Of The Mondays! --- Office Space​

 

[*Nightwing]

But my real personal favorite I love to randomly sing out loud out of context:

 

[T8SC]

Any of these.

 

[Reality Czar]

"Why so serious?" is a good one. We are living in an irony-poisoned future for sure.

 

[Evil Calvin]

“Well, I Wouldn’t Say I’ve Been Missing It, Bob.” --Office Space​

 

[pesaddict]

 

[Julius Ibidus]

I drink your milkshake - There Will Be Blood

god yes.

and, "What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?"

two movies that came out the same year. a great year for cinema...

 

[Ownage]

 

[showernota]

My vote goes to:

 

[The Hamburglar]

Too bad it came out in 1998.

The goat. Isn’t pg enough for the masses though.

Why so serious is cringe as fuck

 

[AJUMP23]

My vote goes to:

The delivery of this line gets me every time. So good.

 

[Last Prime]

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."

"I'll be back."

 

[epicnemesis]

What’s shocking is the lack of iconic movie lines in the last 20 years. The 80s and 90s were full of great one liners.

Nothing comes close to a “yippie kayee motherfucker” or “hastalavista baby” or even a “get to the choppaahhhhhhhh”

 

[Bonfires Down]

 

[Robot Carnival]

I voted for Gladiator, Dark Knight and Taken. woulda throw my vote to Castaway too but only 3 votes allowed. all the lines are very iconic to be honest. but a lot of them were originally from books and stuff so I feel I can't really give the vote to them.

 

[SinDelta]

 

[Mobilemofo]

Ezekiel 25:17 isn't on the list. I don't vote.

 

[Prison Mike]

Ezekiel 25:17 isn't on the list. I don't vote.

21st century only unfortunately

 

[Kamina]

 

[kimcorecoba]

"Did not know who it was fuckin' with" - riddick (pitch black)

 

[INC]

Why so serious is forever cemented in history

Maybe John wick, 'a fucking pencil'

Holy shit thats Jason bourne!

 

[Stitch]

None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!

- Watchmen

 

[waquzy]

"I don't do nothing for nobody for nothing"

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Just a couple rich dudes havin a good time

 

[Baradox]

 

[Baradox]

 

[KiNeMz]

 

[Arkam]

For me it’s every other line from The Life Aquatic.

With every other line in Stepbrothers as a runner up.

Theres literally a list of iconic quotes right in the OP and that's just skimming the surface. How can you say there haven't been any?

 

[elcapitano]

Off the top of my head I feel there are way too man Super hero movie quotes here.

That said I'm struggling to think of others.

What's in Box comes it mind but that's 20th.
