The criteria of this list confuses me. It seems a few movies, such as Wizard of Oz and Casablanca, are only on the list because of one line. If that's the case, A Few Good Men undoubtedly deserves to be on the list.

The entire Anchorman and The Big Lebowski movies are quotable.


I truly believe that A Few Good Men, Caddyshack and Talladega Nights should be on there.

"He's cute, ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit of Mississippi leg hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg, and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants if you know what I mean. A word of warning though: If he does lay into you, it's best to just let him finish."

The problem is the criteria. When I think "most quotable" I think of how many great quotes a movie has. Wizard of Oz has 2 or 3 quotes. I wouldn't consider it a quotable movie no matter how often "no place like home" and "we aren't in Kansas anymore" is said.

"You have to answer for Sonny."

"I thought I had all you guinea hoods locked up!"

"It's an old Sicilian sign. Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."
