This seems to be shifting from movie lines that we hear people around us saying or hear or read in the media, to our favorite movie lines.

I hear "Lighten up, Francis," relatively frequently (Warren Oates as Sgt Hulka, in Stripes)

Also hear, "May the Force be with you" from [i[Star Wars[/i] pretty frequently.

Now, this might not quite fit the topic, but I use a couple of lines frequently, because they fit a situation.

For example, when I'm faced with a technical problem, and someone is shouting at me to fix it, but it's beyond my knowledge, I like to say, "Hey, I only ride 'em, I dunno what makes 'em work" (Donald Sutherland as Oddball, Kelly's Heroes).

When I have a crew working, and someone complains that someone else's task is easier, I like to throw at him, in my best Quint impression, "Hooper drives the boat, Chief" (Robert Shaw as Quint, Jaws)

Jaws is a great source of lines. We've already had "You're gonna need a bigger boat". But when someone asks if we're allowed to do something, I'll throw out "I can do anything--I'm the Chief of Police". When an attempt to do something fails, it's "Not too good, is it, Chief? Well, nothin's easy the first time". And after a harrowing experience, it's "I'll never put on a life jacket again" (both Quint). Yep, great movie, great source of quotes.

Prost!

Good ones, Wayne!

Here's another one, again, a little tangential to the theme in that it's a TV quote, and it's actually not an exact quote, but sometimes you'll hear someone say...

"Beam me up, Scotty!"

when he wants to bale on a situation.

Prost!

I often throw out, "Chill, Winston!" when someone needs to calm down a bit. And when an opportunity presents itself, one that shouldn't be missed, I use, "Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the man with the bargains has passed you by!"

"Oi! Watch your mouth in fronta th' boy!"
