The Blues Brothers
Memorable quote: "Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD." - Jake Blues

Chasing Amy
Memorable quote: "Since most of these people are cheering for the home team, I'm going to root for the visitors. I'm a big visitors fan. Especially the kind that make coffee in the morning before they leave!" - Alyssa Jones

Clue

Memorable quote: "I asked for a car, I got a computer. How's that for being born under a bad sign?" - Ferris Bueller

Heathers
Memorable quote: "If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host." - Veronica Sawyer

Léon (The Professional)

Office Space
Memorable quote: "Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements." - Peter Gibbons

The Producers
Memorable quote: "Shut up, I'm having a rhetorical conversation." - Max Bialystock

Say Anything
Memorable quote: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." - Lloyd Dobler

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Memorable quote: "Remember what the MPAA says: horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words! That's what this war is all about!" - Sheila Broflovski

Swingers
Memorable quote: "You got to get on with your life. You've got to let go of the past Mikey, and when you do, the future is beautiful." - Rob

When Harry Met Sally...
Memorable quote: "The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe you're either (a) not at home, (b) home but don't want to talk to me, or (c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it's either (a) or (c), please call me back." - Harry Burns
