Can't be one of the most famous. Too many people get it wrong.

Can’t be the most famous. I don’t even know what movie it’s from.

Casablanca is an old movie.
Wizard of Oz is an old movie.
Many many more people young and old have see The wizard of Oz.


I think “your killing me smalls” is definitely one of them, and it’s a special one b/c the sandlot is not a movie everyone has seen, but both girls and boys know that line.

Another one not mentioned
“To infinity, and beyond”

Inspired by this thread, I asked one of my classes of high school kids how many had seen The Godfather. Zero. I asked how many have seen The Wizard of Oz. All but a couple.

I’m not saying TWOO is the greatest movie of all time (it’s not among my favorites), but I do think it’s the most iconic, most famous, and most watched. It’s like the Empire State Building of movies. Many skyscrapers are taller than the ESB but none are more famous.

Off the top of my head:

You’re killing me smalls

Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn

Play it Sam

We’ll always have Paris

Here’s looking at you kid

My family disappeared

I feel the need, the need for speed

Good morning vietnam

Say hello to my little friend

Do I feel lucky, well do you, punk

We’re gonna need a bigger boat

You talking to me?

Nobody keeps Baby in a corner

I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse

Never go against the family

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate

I’m Spartacus

I see dead people

Not being nitpicky, but it's actually "You're going to need a bigger boat," which I think has a tiny bit of significance (vs. "We're") because it shows Brody's deference to Quint as the one in charge - which wasn't a good thing.
