(M12P03) Famous Movie/Book Quotes & Catch Phrases

I was talking to a group of people in their 20s and 30s and was astonished and disappointed at how little they knew about literature.

 

So we played "The Famous Movie Quotes," which disappointed me even more. They did not know that many of them came from books, not movies.

 

Anyway, let's combine them: What famous movie or book quotes do you know? I will start with a few famous ones. You cannot repeat what others have said, or you lose. Oh, and no Harry Pottery spell stuff. 

 

  • - Live Long and Prosper. (Star Trek)
  • - May the Force be with you. (Star Wars)
  • - There's no place like home. (The Wizard of Oz)
  • - Elementary, my dear Watson (Sherlock Homles)
  • - Beam me up, Scotty (Star Trek, although no one every said that)
  • - It's alive, it's alive! (Frankenstein)
  • - We are not in Kansas anymore. (The Wizard of Oz)
  • - To infinity and beyond! (Toy Story)
  • - You had me at ‘hello.’" (Jerry Maguire)
  • - Well, nobody's perfect. (Some Like It Hot)
  • - Nobody puts Baby in a corner. (Dirty Dancing)

    I'm absolutely terrible at pop culture references, but I'm glad I knew several of those. 
    How did "Beam me up, Scotty" become a thing if it was never in Star Treck?

    I guess it works the same way lies do. One lies, keeps on saying it, and ends up believing that their own lies are true now. Someone began to say, "Beam me up, Scotty," and now the entire community is brainwashed. :)
  • Frog is wrong. (Seinfeld)
    The jerk store called, they're all out of you! (Seinfeld)
