And that got me started on lots more:

I can't tell you that. It's classified.

It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

It's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison?

Alright, give me a Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.

And of course, the most memorable of all:

"You ever seen a grown man naked?"

Peter Graves was quoted years later saying that he thought the censors would shut down movie production over that line. Ironically, it was the little girl's line about taking her coffee black that was usually removed in the TV versions.

My favorite from "Casablanca" is "I was misinformed".

I can't believe no one has mentioned the classic, usually accompanied by an image:

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Ever notice in Blazing Saddles the guy whose face is the map of Ireland says; “The Ni66ers and the Chinks can stay, but we don’t want the Irish”. They bleep out Ni66ers. But “Chinks” is okay?!!!!

Don’t be so gloomy. After all it’s not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.

My two favorites for that movie.

"Oh your in charge. Well I got news for you, Dwayne. From up here, it doesn't look like you're in charge of jacks**t."
"You listen to me you little a**hole.."
"A**hole? I'm not the one who just got butt!@#%ed on national TV, Dwayne. You listen to me jerkoff. You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Quit being part of the effing problem and put the other guy back on."

“What are you doing in Casablanca?”

“I came here for the waters.”

“But we are in the middle of a desert!”

“I was misinformed.”

Wow, Blazing Saddles is a whole new source of quotes:

Go do that voodoo that you do so well!

Excuse me while I whip this out.

Oh, it's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue!

What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin' on here?

And the most famous of all:

"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"

This one is sometimes attributed to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. But while it's clearly what Mel Brooks was parodying, it was a little different. And the Blazing Saddles line is what everyone remembers.

Don’t forget...”We mock what we don’t understand”...one of the greatest lines ever...or...”Shoot straight you bastards”.

I've never forgiven Lucas. He promised a Triple Trilogy which equals NINE not six!

AH

Houston, we have a problem.

This one was part of history before it was in the movie ... kinda like "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind".
