I recently watched Quigley Down Under again after not having seen it in awhile. I love all the funny, witty dialog in this movie. I still find myself chuckling over some of it several days later.

What movies do you like mostly because of the dialog or one-liners in them?

Snatch
Swingers

Lots. Usually comedies from the 80s like Tootsie (just check Bill Murray's speech in the movie for an example) or Back to the Future (lots of moments, the Ronald Reagan thing for instance).

On recent movie, I guess Cameron Crowe stands out as one of the best dialogue writer still alive.

While they are probably two of my favorite comedies period, Spaceballs and The Naked Gun are just overflowing with quotes that I steal every day.

"A way out west there was a fella...fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski."

and just about every damn line after that...

Chevy Chase's rant to his family about "whistling zipadee-doo-dah out of their assholes" in Vacation gets my vote.

The Breakfast Club is the ultimate example of this. The entire movie is funny dialogue between 6 or 7 people.

A few that come to mind:

The House of Yes
When Harry Met Sally
Steel Magnolias
Annie Hall
Auntie Mame

Vacation
Christmas Vacation
Blazing Saddles

Office Space

"umm, yeeah"

Airplane for me. Never get tired of it...

"Look Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again. There's just no stopping in a white zone."

I will go old school for Philadelphia Story. The dialogue and delivery in that movie are freaking great.

Pulp Fiction
Grandma's Boy
Trading Places

Casino mostly for Joe Pesci's lines and violent outbursts.

For me, Dumb and Dumber = most quotable movie of all time. Office Space has great quotes too.

Marx Brothers Movies. Surprisingly, I'm not there for the "storylines" or the long-ass piano and harp solos.

Lots of the movies mentioned, plus

Caddyshack
Ghostbusters
Some Like it Hot
Back to School

Snatch.

I can almost recite the entire movie word-for-word.

I think it would be harder for me to find a movie I like that doesn't have funny dialog or quotes I like.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

So I Married an Axe Murderer is one of my favorite movies of all time simply due to the quotable dialogue.

I thought I was the only one! "You're a hooker!"

Also:
Rushmore
The Royal Tennenbaums
Get Shorty

"I gotta pee out of my ass!" That one had me rolling.

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

I agree with pretty much all of these, and there are a great many more classics my friends and I find ourselves quoting. But recently we've been dropping lines from The Departed left and right.

A particular favorite that has become a perenial:

"Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself."
