With Val Kilmer's passing, DH and I have been quoting Tombstone more that usual, but hands down this is the movie that we quote the most often.
What about you?

The first one I thought of is Sergeant York. There's a number of things from that movie we say. I just asked my husband what movie he thought we quote the most. The first one he thought of is The Quiet Man. We do know a lot from that one, but I think we throw around more lines from Sergeant York.

Storks, The Emperor's New Groove, The Hunt for Red October, and Star Wars all make nearly daily appearances in our home. But we are always quoting some movie or other!

Nacho Libre ("when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room"), My Big Fat Greek Wedding ("Why you want to leave me?!?"), Clue ("Long story short ... TOO LATE"), A Christmas Story ("Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!"), Napoleon Dynamite ("Whatever I Feel Like I Wanna Do, GOSH!"), Silence of the Lambs ("It rubs the lotion on its skin"), Monty Python ("I'm not dead yet!" and "I am not the messiah ... he is! he is the messiah!" and "The peasants are revolting" and "It's just a flesh wound" and "Bring me a bucket!" and "First the spankings, then the ... (IYKYK)") ... and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ("OKLAHOMA! OKLAHOMA! OKLAHOMA!" and anything involving Ruprecht), and Mel Brooks movies like Young Frankenstein and History of the World Part I and Blazing Saddles...
But even more than that, we quote stand-up comedians. Brian Regan ("The yellow one is the sun!" and "Take luck!" and "Score a goal unit basket") and Gabriel Iglesias ("Cause you can smell it!") and Mitch Hedberg ("No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah." and when something drops, "it has achieved its maximum flavor potential") and Ron White ("Diamonds ... that'll shut her up" and "It fell off, it fell off, it fell THE F#$! OFF" and "Drunk in pub-lic" and "Well, I've got a place to f%$! your sister").
My in-laws have a game they play on long car rides they call the quote-off. Someone picks a movie, and then they say a quote from the movie, and the next person has to come up with a different quote from the same movie, and they keep going around the car until they've exhausted the quotes they can think of. And then they pick another movie and start over again. Apparently "A Christmas Story" and "Elf" are the two they can stretch out the longest. Silly, wholesome fun. :)
my son quotes Step Brothers and The Other Guys.

Monsters Inc has been on heavy quoting lately. "If it doesn't open, it's not your door" is a personal fave of mine. We even sing "put that thing back where it came from or so help me..."

I don't know which ones I would quote the most, but it's a lot of 80s movie quotes, particularly from John Hughes films.
My biggest habit lately is singing lyrics to songs when someone says something that's a lyrical line or close to it. I think it's a bad habit. I don't believe it's truly appreciated. LOL

Sooo many movies & TV shows! Lots of Disney & Pixar because those were on repeat when the kids were little, especially Cars, Monsters Inc, and Robin Hood. Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre are oft quoted as well!

Angie reminded me of Monty Python. We quote all those movies all the time.

So fun, we have tons of others we quote, but Tombstone hands down works it's way into our conversations the most often.
