In order to take he title of "Most Quotable Movie", said movie must have been seen by more than a handful of dedicated fans. So if a movie has he tag "cult classic" or "under the radar hit", then it's not the most quotable or all time.
It's Casablanca, period. Nearly every damned line in he film is quotable.

Maybe in a few more decades it will be "Pulp Fiction"...

The Room is the most quotable film of all time. Leave your stupid comments in your pocket.

I think among modern films I’d go with Die Hard. Personally I also frequently quote 80s comedies such as The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller.

klawrencio79Rey KahukaPiggybacking on the the mention of Tombstone here and the troubled production history discussion on another thread, I thought it was worth mentioning that Tombstone was thought to be a disaster by the studio, and the held back the release because there were so many issues during production. The screenwriter was making his directorial debut and was apparently flailing. He wanted to shoot only wide shots and wouldn't do any close ups for fear that the studio we recut his vision later; and instead of being recut by the studio he was instead fired like a week into shooting. They say that the only scene shot by the original director is when Wyatt, a sickly Doc, and the rest of his new gang meet Charlton Heston on the prarie and ask if they can bring Doc there to rest and convelesce. According to Kurt Russell, in the meantime between the firing and finding a new director they carried on shooting and he assumed the task of directing. Then George Cosmatos was brought on to finish, but Kurt Russell was already entrenched in the job of directing, and Russell made a deal with Cosmatos that he would allow him to take the credit and wouldn't reveal who the real director was until he died. He died a few years back, and it seems Kurt Russell was comfortable enough to out Cosmatos for taking credit for a job he didn't do. If we believe the story, that is. It begs the question of why Kurt Russell never directed after that, because he did a pretty damn good job especially taking on a production that was falling apart (in this case Val Kilmer seems to have been on better behavior than on the other movie we discussed, but that's still not easy), and he's been on film sets for probably as long as any working professional in Hollywood. I was a kid when the movie came out, so I never knew about any of those issues. I just knew it was one of the first westerns I ever saw and certainly one of the first I ever really liked. Ultimately, I think it was a modest box office success, garnered a decent critical response, and is generally fondly remembered as the better of the competing Wyatt Earp movies that came out in the same year. Not bad for a movie that the studio thought they'd have to bury and neglect to screen for crtitics.

Yeah the stuff with Russell is odd, there doesn't seem to be a reason for him to make up the story though. It's amazing how many big name (or at least well known B listers) actors show up in Tombstone, hard to believe a film with that much talent in front of the camera could be such a mess behind it. I saw the 12:30 AM showing of Tombstone on New Years Eve (the kind of thing you do when you're 16 I guess), it was a blast then and it still is today. I love both Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, despite being very different films, the former a pure shoot 'em up and the latter more of a character study.

But yeah, they thought Tombstone was a bomb and you can see where it is disjointed in parts. It has this weird, Jason Priestley/Billy Zane thing, with a 10 minute play in the middle of it that really means nothing, a completely shoved-in love story with Dana Delany (which I know was true to Wyatt Earp's story but felt completely inorganic to the movie), and then it becomes just a murder spree in the last 15 minutes. Apparently Stephen Lang was also plastered while filming the entire thing, which makes his Ike Clanton character more hilarious than anything. As an aside, I always love when the "heroes" of the movie just go around and mercilessly murder anyone and everyone who is even associated with the bad guys without any regard for due process of any sort. Cobra is hilarious in this regard.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. And after the spanking, the oral sex! What... is your favorite color? Red. No! Blue-

There's Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Fight Club. There's probably many I'm forgetting where nearly every line is a great quote in and of itself.

No, I didn't know about "Surfing in Nebraska" reference. Although after getting your reply I searched for location of Nebraska and it seems to be a landlocked state. I thought while rafting happens in rivers, surfing only happens in oceans. Guess I was wrong. I myself don't know swimming so don't believe I can do any of those things.

Cobra is hilarious in this regard. Perhaps more than any other story, vigilantism is celebrated outright in any retelling of Wyatt Earp's life. He's an American god, almost literally. I think in many ways Wyatt Earp is the embodiment of Manifest Destiny and eventually US foreign policy. Take advantage of an opportunity, insert yourself as a 'peace keeping force,' make up the rules as you go along and break them when they don't suit you. "Hey, I'm just here to make money. Everyone get in line or there will be trouble. Oh you want to fuck with me? I will murder all of you!!!" And I say this with a smile on my face when I should really be deeply disturbed. Don't even get me going on Cobra! Hilarious flick! He rams a dude's car because he doesn't like where it's parked. The guy rightfully comes over to ask WTF, and Stallone just rips his shirt and walks away. Imagine how that scene plays with audiences in a post-George Floyd world.

Based on googling the phrase it appears the term 'Surfing in Nebraska' means that someone is acting like an idiot, presumably because one cannot surf in a state that is nothing but corn fields. I think 5150 refers to the police code for being committed to an asylum? That's also what Google told me. So maybe that's the connection.
