Billy Madison should surely be up for consideration as well, particularly the infamous game show host speech:
Note the “last decade.” Billy Madison came out in 1995.
God damn inflexible liberal definitions of “time” and “facts”! Can’t you let me have my moment?
Old School left quite the quote-fest in its wake.
Napoleon Dynamite would have to be a contender.
I’ll second this nomination.
i would think it’s way more quoted than anchorman. the kids, they lurvs that jon heder guy.
Wedding Crashers would also have to be up there. Second the vote for Old School.
I’ve seen “Wedding Crashers,” “Old School” and “Napoleon Dynamite” and I can’t think of a quote from any of them off the top of my head.
In my house, it’s “Dude Where’s My Car” (“I said brown”) and “Idiocracy” (“I like money”).
I see the idiocracy “you talk like a fag and your shit’s all retarded” quote everywhere.
The “Leave me alone – ‘baitin” pops up frequently (as a joke) with my colleagues during office hours.
It falls just outside the “decade” criterion, but Big Lebowski (1998) deserves strong consideration for Most Quotable.
Yes, if you reach back 12 years you’d hit the twin juggernauts of The Big Lebowski and Office Space whose quotability crush anything that has come since.
For this decade I’d say Idiocracy is the winner with Supertroopers a distant second.
wow, i’d nominate the big lebowski for the most quoted movie of the last three decades, and i believe that would include caddyshack, but i’m too lazy to look up the imdb page to find the exact date.
Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
What’s that line from The White Ribbon…
[...] “I'm Kind of a Big Deal” : Lawyers, Guns & Money [...]
Assuming we’re ignoring Lebowski, I still don’t think Anchorman is the most quoted, at least in the UK. If I had to guess it would be Napoleon Dynamite, but other contenders are Shaun of the Dead and, recently, In The Loop.
Oh, yeah. “You’ve got red on you” and “a slice of fried gold” are well ahead of anything else remotely recent in my house.
Anchorman, like Wedding Crashers and The Hangover, was one of those recent “funniest movie ever!”s that I didn’t enjoy at all.
I do agree, however, that “I’m kind of a big deal” was probably the most quoted single line of the last ten years (f’reelz; go to all your cheesy associates’ MySpace pages and look at their “About Me” sections). “I’m rich, bitch!” and “I’m Rick James, bitch!” are probably what I heard second most, and goddamn was I sick of bad Borat impressions before the fucking movie even came out.
I love…Lamp.
Office Space and Lebowski definitely won the 90s. I’m comfortable with Anchorman in the top 3 for the Zeroes.
Those of you arguing against Wedding Crashers were obviously far too old to catch the college age male demographic, by far the biggest movie quoters.
“MA! THE MEATLOAF!”
“Rule 76, no excuses, play like a champion.”
“Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye.”
“You motorboating son of a bitch! You old sailor you.”
“The painting was a gift, Todd, I’m taking it with me.”
“You shut your mouth when you’re talking to me.”
Just another example of you ivory tower liberals out of touch with the common people
OH! Not to mention
“Erroneous! Erroneous on both counts!”
Motherfuckers are ALWAYS quoting Persepolis.
I know. Gets old.
I haven’t seen most of these movies and would be curious as to how often people are quoting stuff I don’t recognize.
BTW, Austin Powers was huge in the 90s.
This decade, I’m trying to build up “Difficult Difficult Lemon Difficult” but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Hard to say, because I haven’t seen Anchorman. In general, though, I wouldn’t trust AICN if they told me that water was wet.
I have to admit that a week doesn’t go by without someone in my house saying “milk was a bad choice.”
And it still cracks me up every time.
Why limit yourself to the last decade, people?
I guess there is no love for .
That should have read: “I guess there is no love for ‘Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.’”
Maybe I’m old but then so is my entire office judging by this. I still hear more “Office Space” than all the ’00s put together.
Well, it falls out of the decade old requirement, but in my day we quoted Caddyshack a lot. But hell what do I know, we also used tie an onion to our belts cause it was the fashion at the time.
Hell, old timer, Caddyshack‘s got nothing on Horse Feathers for quotability.
Keystone Kops were great and they wrote the wrote the quote out for you
lol! actually, speaking of horsefeathers, i was just quoting the mirror scene from duck soup the other day to my 5 year old niece.
Sixty percent of the time, people quote Anchorman every time.
