There are some movies my husband and I watch again and again. We say movie quotes to each other on a daily/hourly basis. Of course this is in between caring for our three children. Often we can’t have a conversation but we can still make each other laugh with a great, well used line from some of our favorite movies.

Movie quote from Shawshank Redemption

Andy Dufresne said this to Red while sitting near a wall in the exercise area. Tommy, his “project,” was just mysteriously killed trying to escape.

“Get busy living or get busy dying”

This quote always motivates me when something needs to be done. Right or wrong, make a decision and move along!

Movie quote from Stripes

Psycho said this to his bunkmates during the introduction scene. He doesn’t want anyone touching him or his stuff.

“Any of you homos touch me, and I’ll kill you”

We have three small kids, you know the routine; he’s on my side! He’s touching me! She’s touching my stuff!! I don’t think I ever said this to my kids. Maybe, just keep your meat hooks off.

Movie quote from Forrest Gump

Forrest was narrating. He had just busted the braces off of his legs and had discovered a talent for running.

“Now you wouldn’t believe me if I told you so, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running.”

When my daughter started walking she quickly started running; she’s three now and everywhere she goes she’s running!

Movie quote from Meet the Parents

Mr. Byrnes was responding to Greg’s story about how he milked a cat while growing up.

“I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?”

My husband must have said this to me a thousand times since our first child was born…every time I was feeding a baby.

Movie quote from Major League

Eddie Harris was the has been pitcher. He was drinking a shot of alcohol that Pedro Cerrano left for his “baseball hitting” god, Jobu. The alcohol was left as a sacrifice and was in the shrine located in Cerrano’s locker.

“Up your butt, Jobu”

This one is just goofy. The way the guy said it in the movie is just hilarious. My husband cracks me up with his imitation, usually when we are driving somewhere and he’s talking to the other drivers.

Movie quote from Back to the Future

Dr. Brown was quizzing Marty McFly to see if he really was from the future.

“Then tell me, “Future Boy”, who’s President in the United States in 1985?”

“Ronald Reagan!”

“Ronald Reagan? The actor?”

I just love the way Doc brown says, the actor? It’s so timely when I think about someone in the future asking who the governor of California is. Conan? The actor?

Movie quote from Shawshank Redemption

Andy Dufrense said this with a straight face to the warden. The warden had just told him that it was unrealistic to think that he could get a new trial with new evidence.

“How can you be so obtuse?”

I’ve used this on my husband a couple of times. We’re usually arguing about something silly and I’ll break the tension with this one.

Movie quote from “Hunt for Red October”

Admiral painter is saying this to Jack Ryan when Jack is telling him that he believes that the Russians were trying to defect with their new techno submarine.

“Russians don’t take a dump, son, without a plan.”

I say this to my husband every time we are trying to hatch an intricate plan to pick up the kids, run errands, make lunch, visit the grandmas and be home in time for nap. Coordinating our schedules takes careful consideration.

Movie quote from Caddyshack

Al Czervik says this to Judge Smails when the anchor from his huge boat lands and crushes the Judge’s smaller boat.

“You scratched my anchor!”

When disaster strikes at our house, spilt water glass, broken chairs, bruised foreheads; I use this everyday. I think I said this to my husband when he backed out of the garage with the car door open….$780 later.

I couldn’t limit myself to just one from this movie! It’s such a classic with great lines and great characters. Here’s two bonus movie quotes!

Judge Smails says this to his whining son Spaulding, who’s in college.

“You’ll get nothing and like it”

Two whining kids in a gift shop/ candy store/ amusement park, need I say more?

Al Czervik let’s one go in a crowd and responds with this one.

“Hey, did somebody step on a duck?”

I have three small children and passing gas is funny. We say it even when we hear something remotely like a fart. We say this ALL the time with variations like who stepped on a duck or daddy stepped on a duck.
