Harold Ramis was a gold mine for this.
Stripes:
"That's a fact, Jack."
"Lighten up, Francis"
"some really serious ________"
"oooooooh" with the hand gesture when the black guy responds to Francis.
Ghostbusters:
"_____ is toast"
"Don't cross the streams"
"dogs, cats - living together."
Caddyshack: basically the entire movie.

Ginourmous is WWII British military slang. It was also used in Transformers: The Movie in 1986 in a line ad-libbed by Jazz's voice actor, Scatman Crothers.

The term "Nerd" wasn't really in use until Happy Days.
Invented by Dr. Seuss in If I Ran the Zoo.

I'd heard people using it long before the movie came out. Art Bell mentioned his "bucket list" quite a bit on his show.

They also had people using phrases like "sit on it" and "up your nose with a rubber hose" in the 70s, from what I can remember.
