All three Lord of the Rings movies, which I found slightly irritating.

None of the Star Wars movies name check themselves.

EDIT: Thought of a few more:

Star Trek VI - The Klingon general uses the phrase "The Undiscovered Country"

Star Trek VIII - The phrase "first contact" is used several times, and Zephram Cochrane utters the phrase "Star Trek"

I thought that "star trek" line was added in for chuckles.

I liked the scenes in "Star Wars" and "Out of Africa" where they say the title.

"I'm just so sick of these star wars."

"I hate this traffic, I just can't wait to get out of Africa."

Where did they mention Star Wars?

Also, in Lord of the Rings, each title sticks out for me...

Anubis, that reference was about as serious as the Palpatine line left in the special edition:

"We must guard against a revenge of the Jedi!"

"To kill a mockingbird is a sin"

Even though that book/movie never showed Homer how to kill a mockingbird.

And ...

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" used that line effectively right at the end of the picture.

It's a skit from the Upright Citizens Brigade. A character bets that he had the titular line in a bunch of movies where the title is never said. His proof is video taped footage of himself, inserted into the film.

happy endings where the massager talks to lisa kudrow about giving his clients a happy ending.

16 blocks where the detective tells bruce willis he has a couple hours to go 16 blocks.

Am I the only one who chuckles when this happens in movies?

I used to go !ding! whenever it happened when I'm at the movies, but it ticks my girlfriend off.

That's the first thing that popped up in my mind. It's probably the worst line in the film, in my opinion.. it just seems so forced.

UCB was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread...

My daughter and I give each other a knowing UCB-inspired nod anytime a character in a movie utters the titular line.
