The Maltese Falcon:

"The stuff dreams are made of".

As for Randolph Scott, ever since Blazing Saddles I thought everyone talked that way regarding Randy.

I can't believe nobody has said "play it again, Sam", or "We'll always have Paris".

Or "Do you feel lucky, Punk?"

And to avoid any conduct problems, I'll just explain, and I think you'll all know what word I mean, when I say Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid invented a new and very special way to say a certain word - the one they said when jumping off the cliff into the water below.

Mae West (various):

Why don't you come up and see me [sometime]

Goodness had nothing to do with it

Beulah, peel me a grape

W.C. Fields (various)

Godfrey Daniel!

Laurel & Hardy (also various):

Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into

And let us not forget Desi Arnaz's immortal:

You got some 'splainin' to do!

Hey, gang!
Remember that once-torrid face-slapping "fess up" scene between Faye & Jack, from Chinatown?

"she's my sister . . my daughter . . my sister . . my daughter . . . "

Well evidently Steve Soderberg thinks it's so distantly iconic, he "borrowed" it nearly in toto for a climactic scene between George & Cate in The Good German. :?
(A genre-tribute film so perfect, it's perfectly boring!)

The final showdown from [The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,[/i] including Ennio Morriconnes score. This has been parodied so many times I can't count them.

Good one from Laurel and Hardy, . . . fine mess . . . - That's definitely one of todays' idioms. And unfortunately, how true!!!
