Wizard of OZ has several:
Not in Kansas anymore.
Yellow Brick Road.
No place like home.
The man behind the curtain.
Melting (as in to freak out over something, although this oddly became colloquialized long after the film's release).

This reminds me of the phenomenon of every body saying “the wild, Wild West” when before that movie/song it was only “the Wild West”

Not a movie but the term "spam" for junk email, text messages, and phone calls comes from a Monty Python skit.

stop trying to make Fetch happen.
people usually don't even refer to whatever they're critiquing. they just say fetch.

he created eyeball, eyesore, eyewink, he did a lot with the eyes.
Dawn was a verb, he was the first to use it as a noun. "The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers" Before than it was used only as a verb, It dawned on him that he was early.
He was also the first to use elbow as a verb.
