What movie quotes do you routinely use in everyday life, and when/where?

  1. "Lock the doors." "And hope they don't have blasters." Luke and Han's helpful advice to Threepio in Star Wars. Useful when: locking doors.

  2. "Ignore the bird. Follow the river." The High Aldwin's advice after the bird goes in the wrong direction in Willow. Useful when: moving in the direction of a river. Comes in handy much more frequently now that I'm in Iowa.

  3. "Have a popover, froggy." Aunt Taminella stuffing Robin's face full in The Frog Prince. Useful when: eating or serving popovers.

  4. "Polite chuckles." / "Thunderous applause!" / "Loud cheers!" Featherstone's instructions to the crowd in The Frog Prince (a very quotable movie, obviously). Useful when: ordered or expected to do anything audience-like.

  5. "Only fools are positive." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." Batty and Zack in FernGully. Useful when: someone says "I'm positive." Unfortunately, very few people seem to know the whole routine, though my sister used to catch on quick.

  6. "Someone oughta open up a window." "No, no, no! Too many flies!" John Adams and Congress in 1776. Useful when: opening or complaining about someone opening a window.

  7. "69, dudes!" Bill and Ted's favorite number. Useful when: encountering the number 69.

  8. "I must think. Think, think, think." The dog attempts to think in Tale of the Bunny Picnic. Useful when: attempting to think.

  9. "Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns!" Shang singing in Mulan. Useful when: getting down to business. Must be said with exactly the right inflections and the Huns part can trail off, ie LET'S get DOWN to BUSIness to deFEAT the Huns.

  10. "Right, frog." Fozzie in response to Kermit in The Muppet Movie. Useful when: anyone has just told you to "bear left."
