Don't know if this subject has been brought up before (probably has), but here it goes...
Are there any lines or catch phrases from movies that you use in your daily life? If so, please share.
Myself, I use two:
"Nag, nag, nag!" from the Clint Eastwood movie The Gauntlet. I find myself saying this anytime I get nagged.
"You were left on the doorstep by gypsies" from The Godfather: Part II. Fredo says this is what his mother told him, and he almost believes that to be true. Well, I also use this line to describe somebody who may be very different from their family members (including my own family).

I used to use "I'M Walking HERE" back when I lived where there was actual traffic.  |

I use a lot of them. Here are only a few off the top of my head right now. I use them mostly on my friends who would get the references. Mostly.
"Hey, there's no birthday party for me in here." - Fast Times at Ridgemont High
"Mother Sulla never raised such a foolish child." - (paraphrased from) Jeremiah Johnson
"This is a story you'll tell your grandchildren. And mightily bored they'll be!" - A Bridge Too Far
"Get busy living or get busy dying." - The Shawshank Redemption
"It's good to be the king." - History Of The World: Part One
"I fart in your general direction." - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
"Shut up, you American! You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk..." - Monty Python's Meaning of Life
"Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?" - Flash Gordon
"Bring me... the bore worms." - Flash Gordon
"You can ACT LIKE A MAN!" - The Godfather
"Great bolshy yarblockos to you!" - A Clockwork Orange
"That's life, boy. Gettin' and losin', losin' and gettin'." - The Yearling
"The Pawnees could take no more..." - Little Big Man
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." - 2001
"Sieg Heil! You're our kind of people." - Contact
"Thank you, Father Godwin. You're the watchdog of my fury." - The Vikings
"I saw Bigfoot once." - Close Encounters of the Third Kind (used to express disbelief)
"Well. There it is." - Amadeus

I speak almost entirely in movie quotes with my two brothers.
It’s actually pretty impressive, but bordering on sad how many quotes we use.

"Way she goes" - Trailer Park Boys
"I need a vacation" - Terminator 2
"Got 'em, got 'em, need 'em, got 'em" - Howie Mandel singing about baseball cards in "Little Monsters"
"Let off some steam, Bennett" - to my water pipe
"I know kung-fu" - from "The Matrix" if my wife wakes me up from a nap
"Asshollllliyamio" - "Ace Ventura"
"Let's just build a fire and sing a couple of songs" - Paul Reiser from "Aliens"
"No ticket" - from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, every time my wife makes me kill an insect that has gotten in the house
"Open your mind to me" - a la Kuato from "Total Recall" before I give my dog a treat
"The size of a tangerine" - Michael Caine from "The Dark Knight" when I describe the treat I'm giving my dog.
"Like a doll's eyes" - I actually do a lot of Quint's speech from "Jaws" if I'm talking to the dog while hanging my laundry
"You are entering a world of pain" - from "The Big Lebowski" just recently as I was attempted to be tricked by my wife into 'chickenless' chicken tenders. They were actually pretty good though.
"When two cats can't groove" - Tim Meadows impersonating Sammy Davis Jr. in "Wayne's World 2" all the time in pretty much any conflict I encounter in life.
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" - "Happy Gilmore"
"Well, how the turntables..." - Steve Carrell as Michael Scott on "The Office."
"I have such sights to show you" - Doug Bradley in "Hellraiser", typically to my wife if she makes me drive when we go out
"Hold on to your butts" - Samuel L Jackon from "Jurassic Park", same function as above
"Life finds a way" - Jeff Goldblum from "Jurassic Park" anytime anything goes wrong and I'm asked questions
"He's my dog, I'll do it" - "Old Yeller" every time I do my morning shot of Apple Cider Vinegar...which is good for you, but tastes horrible
"It's afraid!" - Neil Patrick Harris in "Starship Troopers." I occasionally yell this if my dog takes a crap (which I always pick up) within sight of a neighbor doing something outside.
"I'm sailing!" - "What About Bob" anytime I'm on a boat, which is somewhat frequent due to my work.
"You gave up on life didn't ya?" - "Team America"
The entire stairs monologue from "The Shining."
"Live long and prosper" - an obvious one
"Hey man, there's a beverage here" - "The Big Lebowski" (I can go for weeks speaking only with quotes from that movie)
"IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT PENIS BREATH!" - the best line of all time from the great movie "E.T."
I've been a mimic my entire life. Wife is totally opposite, and my library of quotes drives her insane. Have compared (in great detail) replacing the garbage disposal to fixing the flux capacitor. I speak exclusively to my dog in movie quotes, mostly to my wife in the same way, and sneak them in (like the meow game from "Super Troopers") my professional life when I ever see an opening.
My personal favorite is asking a colleague if they are working on commission and telling them they made a big mistake. ("Pretty Woman")

I tend to say these to myself when no one is around:
"That's the way Pop wanted it. ...It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart!" - The Godfather: Part II
"I woke up in a great mood. I don't know what the hell happened." - Fast Times at Ridgemont High
"I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part." - Animal House
"And then depression set in." - Stripes
"You put me right off my fresh fried lobster, do you realize that?" - MASH (1970)
When I'm in a hurry and driving towards a stoplight that's green, I sometimes say: "Stay green, Ponyboy." - paraphrased from The Outsiders

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." - 2001 I use that one too. I also use "Your staff is too long, you're digging in the wrong in place" from Raiders of the Lost Ark and "These aren't the droids you're looking for" from Star Wars.

I can't recall the exact quote or even if it's from a movie, but I often reply with a variation on "It's just an awful rumor" out of embarrassment when a coworker passes along an overheard compliment about me.

"It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage." - Raiders
"Game over man, game over!" - Aliens
"So let it be written, so let it be done" - The Ten Commandments
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue." - Airplane
Others, but those are the ones I'm thinking of right now.

I just remembered another one I use to say a long time ago:
"I crap bigger than you!" from City Slickers.
