Pretty much any 15 minute segment of The Big Lebowski.
This is the only movie I quote regularly, and I think I've quoted every single line at one point or another.
"Calmer than you are", "mark it zero", "that's marvelous", and "I am the walrus" being the all-time leaders, lately "You mean...coitus?" and "say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, at least it's an ethos" have been getting the most burn lately.

Lately I have been throwing around "phone's ringing, dude" a lot. I actually said to my wife last week while driving, "calmer than you are", went right over her head.
Yeah, these need to be joints you actually use in the world.
Great Movie Quotes is a whole other thread.
On the Fish Called Wanda tip someone mentioned above, I used to yell out "dis -a-POINT-TED!" a lot back in the day.
"You're out of your element, Donnie!" is another one I try to work in from Lebowski, sometimes with the person's name in place of Donnie's.
I tend to drop the classic "We're gonna need a bigger boat" when the situation requires something bigger or better. (no pasue)
This one's subtle and always just for myself, but I'll say "Not fast enough," which is Neo from the Matrix after he gets tagged while trying to dodge agent bullets. I'll say it after someone pays a compliment but I thought it could be better.
From Friday: "You got knocked the F*ck out, man!" "Deeeeyyaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmm!" and both my wife and I have been known to say "Don't go in the bathroom for 35, 45 minutes!" after, well, you know.
And one I would like to be able to use often in real life, "I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum." They Live

I don't know how it came up in conversation the other day, but somehow a friend of mine worked in "Janet Jackson? Looked more like Freddie Jackson!"
(loudwizard's avatar-related) don't get me started on Spinal Tap.
"What could be more black and answer is, none more black"
"Don't touch it. Don't even look at it."
and often with my brother (who's a musician) i'll bust out "the saddest of all keys, D minor."
And one of my favorite lines from the Warriors is when that dude from the Orphans yells "We're gonna RAIN on you, Warriors!" It's too bad those guys go out like bitches because that's such a great line. I don't say it per se, but I try to use the phrase "rain on" with that meaning whenever I can.

So Ive had to break out "There is no Dana, only Zul" from time to time.
Pretty cool huh

Jamie-Lee Curtis to Dan Ackroyd in "Trading Places", now me to #1 Son, every day.
It's funnier when he uses it on me. He's six.
sigaret? - I know.
ditto
also
"Well, the world needs ditch-diggers too." and "Looks good on you, though!"
Lately I have been throwing around "phone's ringing, dude" a lot. I actually said to my wife last week while driving, "calmer than you are", went right over her head.
"Do you have to use so many cuss words?"
I also drop this from time to time:
"It just goes to show that just because someone is really really good-looking, doesn't mean they can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."
"Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict drug regimen to uh...keep my mind limber."
"you know, Dude, I dabbled in pacificism once. Not in Nam, of course."
you can't beat that shit.
"Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax..."

"Nooooot" - can only be used sparingly since it gets old real quick. Usually used in reference to something I didn't miss.
"She try to do a rape on me."
"Sexytime" - this pops up all the time. Can describe just about anything.
The hand motions that accompany "sexytime" are sometimes funnier than saying it.
And if there's enough people familiar with it, a rousing chorus of "Throw the Jew Down The Well" usually gets laughs.
It's a call and response, though.
Someone needs to respond with "Waving the f*ckin' gun around??!!??"
I'd like to tet some of you all's Lebowski gangsta. F*ck w/ me.
"Is there a Ralph's around here?"
I think of how I can work in either of these whenever I hear or see the word 'receptical'.
Unfortunately, the "Ralph's" reference is missed on anyone who has never lived in the West.
"8 year olds, dude."
"I'll stick it up your ass and pull the trigger till it goes.... CLICK."
"What could be more black and answer is, none more black"
"Don't touch it. Don't even look at it."

"I'll tell you what we're gonna have to do."
"what?"
"jazz odyssey!"
This is fun to whip out on digging trips
Sir, this is a mortuary... not a rental house.
"This is not Nam, Smokey... there are rules."
the most useful quote from Caddyshack, especially for parents, is "you will get nothing and like it!"
I use that quote a lot.
"Elihu?? Will you loofah my stretch marks??"
