Of all the Substacks on all the laptops in the world, this popped up on mine. And of course, I will say Casablanca—for its actual quotes, for the quote people think is there that is not, and for the fun of manhandling those wonderful words to turn them to one's purpose.
Since The Princess Bride and Casablanca are (of course) already taken (and rightfully so) I suppose Monty Python and The Holy Grail need to represent. Holy Grail, final answer.
Ah, that's easy! The Princess Bride.
Here we go @LC, @Eustace.

Haha, well done 😁👏🏻
"Duuuuude...MISTER Turtle, is like, my FATHER."
We are so fluent in Pixar in this house that I'm gonna have to go with Fabio...er, Marco...I mean, Finding Nemo.
The Godfather? Tempting.
But I'm going to have to go with The Big Lebowski
Maybe the quotability is the same, but I smile more whenever I quote the Dude.
I'm gonna have to watch that movie all the way through sometime. I've only seen selected scenes from when it used to play in the breakroom at work.
You must!
I know this is a cliche, but I envy people who get to watch it for the first time.

I'm coming in a little late, but one of the most quoted movies in our family is definitely Nacho Libre.
"Can't we just get a salad or something?"
"Do you not realize that I have had diarrhea since easters?"
"I don't want people to think you are a floosie."
"Get that corn out of my face!!"
"They don't think I know a buttload about the gospel but, I do."
"I would feel better if you were baptized..."
"Did you tell him they were the Lord's chips?"
🤣🤣🤣
Nacho Libre is my final answer.
