And a few lines before that, "You read a book?!"

There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
If we're quoting Spinal Tap surely I can quote Ghostbusters.
"That was your plan? 'Grab her!'?"
Okay, so, she's a dog.
You're gonna endanger us. You're going to endanger our client, the nice lady who paid us before she became a dog.

I can't even.

Yes, very quotable movie.

and of course,
"There is no Dana, there is only Zool."
Plus the million innuendoes associated with being the Keymaster of Gozer.

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!"
"No human being would stack books like this."

"Yes, it's true. This man has no dick."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
See, the thing is, I've never seen Ghostbusters and thus don't recognize a single one of those quotations (except for "who ya gonna call?") They may be awesome, but I'd expect to recognize most of the "100 greatest quotes," even from movies I haven't seen.
Example: I've never seen Gone with the Wind, but "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" I recognize. Never seen Apocalypse Now, but "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!" yeah, heard it. Never seen, what, Scarface? But "Say hello to my little friend" I've heard. Guessing there's quotes from The Godfather and The Godfather II I've heard, too. Et cetera.
This is why I haven't quoted most of High Fidelity, which has my favoritest quotes of all time. I could, though, if you guys want.
Hmm. This post sounds more didactic than I intended. I probably shouldn't post it. But I'm going to anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They may be awesome, but I'd expect to recognize most of the "100 greatest quotes," even from movies I haven't seen.
I'd say there's a difference between "greatest" and "most recognizable"

Me, I'd say Gris is making me feel old.
