What is the most quotable movie of all time?

A friend and I were talking today about famous movie quotes and we got to wondering what the most quotable movie of all time was.

After much debate we settled on "Airplane".

I'm wondering what other movies people think should be included in the debate.
 
Office Space would probably make the list now.

Glengarry Glen Ross for the Alec Baldwin scene alone.
 
Interesting; I was just discussing quotable movies from a different perspective.

Seems to me that the '80s were a goldmine of quotable movies, and that it slowed to a trickle after that. But I also realize that it might be a matter of perspective given my age group. So the question is, what are the quotable post-80s movies, and is the quantity anywhere near comparable?

Obviously, Pulp Fiction is one. Fight Club is another.

"Hombre" might be one of them.
Hard to beat the westerns if we are talking quotable. Also check out the "Seven Men from Now"
 
To me: Monty Python & The Holy Grail.

We used to sit quoting that film endlessly in high school. It could go on for hours.
Personally, I think it's the funniest film ever, closely followed by Airplane!.

To the rest of the world: the Starwars movies. Because let's face it, those are the most quoted films ever.
 
Die Hard = most quotable movie ever. I've used many of these throughout my life:

John McClane: Welcome to the party, pal.

John McClane: [huddled in an air vent, recalls his wife's invitation] "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."

John McClane: Yippee-ki-yay, motherpoo pooer.

Hans Gruber: by the time they figure out what went wrong, we'll be sitting on a beach, earning twenty percent.

John McClane: Who's driving this car, Stevie Wonder?

Hans Gruber: SHOOT the GLASS!

John McClane: Ooops. No bullets. What do you think, I'm poo pooing stupid, Hans?

Hans Gruber: You asked for miracles, Theo, I give you the FBI.

Harry Ellis: Hans, Bubi, I'm your white knight!

Theo: [sees LAPD SWAT armored vehicle approaching] Wait a minute, wait a minute. What have we here, gentlemen? The police have themselves an RV

Harry Ellis: Hey babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Eurotrash.

Theo: [laughing as a LAPD SWAT armored vehicle is hit with a missile] Oh my God, the quarterback is TOAST!

Joseph Takagi: You want money? What kind of terrorists are you?
Hans Gruber: Who said we were terrorists

Hans Gruber: "Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho."

plus many more
 
Another for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It's a comedy, it's timeless, and it has some of the best quotes.

That and Space Balls...

Use the Schwartz!

She's gone from suck, to blow!
 
Airplane?

YOUNG BOY
Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.

LITTLE GIRL
Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.

She takes the cup of coffee from him.

LITTLE GIRL
Oh, won't you sit down?

YOUNG BOY
Cream?

LITTLE GIRL
No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.
