Gotta go with "Casablanca":
"Play it again, Sam."
"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
"We'll always have Paris."
"I'm shocked, shocked . . . ."
"I was misinformed."
"All the gin joints in all the world and she walks into mine."
"I stick my neck out for nobody!"
CASABLANCA is like Shakespeare. Its dialogue has been so absorbed into the language that people don't even realize they're quoting it . . ..
I agree -
Casabalanca is easily the most quoted film ever. Even by people who've never even seen it before and who quote it without knowing it.
In addition to the above, there is always:
"Round up the usual suspects!"
"Here's looking at you, kid!"
"I wouldn't bring up Paris if I were you, it's poor salesmanship."
"
I'm the only cause I'm interested in."
"Might as well be frank, monsieur. It would take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca, and the Germans have outlawed miracles."
"Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time."
"Realizing the importance of the case, my men are rounding up twice the usual number of suspects."
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
"I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."
"But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."
And then there is the great intro to the movie:
"With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But, not everybody could get to Lisbon directly, and so a tortuous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up - Paris to Marseilles... across the Mediterranean to Oran... then by train, or auto, or foot across the rim of Africa, to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here, the fortunate ones through money, or influence, or luck, might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon; and from Lisbon, to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca... and wait... and wait... and wait."
This movie is absolutely immortal. No two ways about it.
