Good question. I wonder if the answer can be found anywhere, like in an almanac? Anyway, I think Oz might be the one. Although, "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn" is spoken pretty often.
Oz (the "rainbow" one, not the "don't-drop-the-soap one)

"I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."
- James Baldwin
For some odd reason The Graduate popped in my head. Oz is A LOT more logical though.

How about CASABLANCA? How often do you hear references to "Here's lookin' at you, kid", "We'll always have Paris" or "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship" or "Play it, Sam" or "Of all the gin joints in all the world, why did she have to walk into mine?" et cetera, et cetera.
And of recent movies? JERRY McGUIRE. "Show me the money", "You had me at hello", and "You complete me" are constanly being parodied on sitcomes, etc.
ive heard field of dreams mentioned a few times ("if you build it, he will come)
the show Get Smart used to use scenarios from a lot of famous old movies. i remember an episode that took place in casablanca. and then another one that was similar to the treasure of the sierra madre. one made fun of goldfinger, one makes fun of Marlon Brando's film The Wild One, one mocks bonnie and clyde, the avengers, the maltese falcon, rear window, The Great Escape and Stalag 17. there are so many more where the titles are parodies (including a spy, spy birdie).

I agree w/ Aigoo... I know I quote Monty Python all the time. Another movie quoted often - Terminator. Hasta la vista baby. Updated On: 1/15/06 at 05:26 PM
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
Conan O'Brien
Agree w Casablanca. Think about it" Woody Allen's Play IT Again" was a play & a movie. The film The Usual Suspects.(I love that quote- round up the usual suspects.)
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
