Star Wars.
Not even close.
I recently rewatched the prequels with a friend and we quickly decided to count the number of scenes/lines that are used as memes and reactions.
Don’t remember of the top of my head, but it was in the triple digits.
Star Wars is absolutely quotable on a minute by minute basis - if you like the meme culture around it : ^)
At this point, it’s easier to count the prequel lines that haven’t become memes.

That would be the 1985 master piece Clue

Flames! Flames on the side of my face!
Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!
You don’t need any help from me, sir.
That’s right! …
Replying to myself to give The Sopranos an honorable mention!

To make a long story short…
Too late
Communism is just a red herring!
Lot of red flags
I’m going home to sleep with my wife!
Also, dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
I’m not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.
Is there really a line which isn’t quotable in this movie?
That rug really brought the room together.

Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!

A lot of quotes from the Batman Dark Knight have become pretty common lingo or at least widely recognized, like “not the hero we deserve but the one we need” or “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” or even “some people just want to watch the world burn” or “it’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message”, maybe also popularizing the whole “immovable object vs unstoppable force” etc.

I have several ol’ reliables:
Grandma’s Boy: “high score? What’s that mean?”
Snatch: “when you’re in reverse, things tend to come from behind ya.”
Tombstone: “i got two guns, one for each of ya.”
Big Lebowski: “he’s a good man Jeffrey. And thorough.”
There’s more, but those are probably my most quoted.
Mean girls
