Thanks to @Pliny Pete for the Large Marge thread, the inspiration for this one. Looking back at Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I realized how many quotes from that movie became sayings from my childhood, some even following into supposed adulthood.

"I know you are, but what am I?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out!"
"I don't make monkeys, I just train them"

The point of the thread isn't whether or not you used these phrases, I just want to know if there are other movies out there that have given us as many or more sayings that became part of the common lexicon. Discuss.

“Smell my finger”…..My uncle Dave used this all the time, he said it was from a well known movie but I’m not sure!
 
Gump
Tombstone
Lebowski
Office Space
Fight Club

...and my personal favorite:

Full Metal Jacket
I dunno man Full Metal Jacket is too beaucoup for me

Agree with the rest of the list. Lebowski in particular makes me laugh every time I watch it.
 
Tombstone and Airplane come to mind. of course Terminator
I’m thinking Tombstone.

I’m your huckleberry.
Let go of that stud.
I’m gettin’ tired of your gas.
Go ahead boy, suck my skin wagon.
It appears the strain was more than he could bear. He was just too high strung.


I may have changed that third one a bit.
