Monty Python Quest for the holy grail.

Every character, every scene

Never seen it

[-] kittenzrulz123 5 points 3 days ago

I was going to say Life of Brian, also extremely quotable

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 9 points 3 days ago

I thought the last scene was a bit of a cop out.

It took growing up to get it, but I love the scene where the peasant is explaining to King Arthur that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a terrible basis for a system of governance.

[-] damdy@lemm.ee 17 points 4 days ago

I think this is the correct answer, at least in English language.

From the top of my head in roughly the right order:

Tis but a flesh wound You're father smells of elderberries We want...a shrubbery Watery tarts throwing swords at people is no basis for a government She turned me into a newt On second thoughts, it's a silly place Bravely bravely ran away You have to know these things when you're a king you know

What is it?

It's a vehicle with wings large enough that it can fly, but that's not important right now.

"Surely you can't be serious."

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

The Princess bride, no question!

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 4 points 3 days ago

Inconceivable!

[-] DrainKikoLake@lemmy.ca 52 points 4 days ago

The Princess Bride!

Any other answer is... inconceivable

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago

I have several ol' reliables:

Grandma's Boy: "high score? What's that mean?"

Snatch: "when you're in reverse, things tend to come from behind ya."

Tombstone: "i got two guns, one for each of ya."

Big Lebowski: "he's a good man Jeffrey. And thorough."

There's more, but those are probably my most quoted.

That would be the 1985 master piece Clue

Ghostbusters:

Back off man - I’m a scientist
Listen! You smell something?
What about the Twinkie?
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Yes it’s true, this man has no dick
Ok, so… she’s a dog
When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!
Aim for the flat top!
Cross the streams

…and much much more

'Get her!'--that was your whole plan?

Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

Aw man, I shot Marvin in the face.

You know what they call a quarter pounder in Paris?

And you will know that I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Everyone's got guns round here. Like who? Farmers, Farmers mums.

Also, dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

I'm not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.

Super Troopers

From "The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries!" to "BEARFUCKER! DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?!" almost every line in that movie is quotable and relevant to most situations.

[-] scotts@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Well dude, we just don’t know.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It's a dry heat

Nuke it from orbit

There goes our salvage guys
