We guys, and some girls, love to quote classic movies. By now you have probably already seen or heard about how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar embarrassed himself on Celebrity Jeopardy last Thursday night. If you haven’t seen it or don’t know what we’re talking about, see this clip:

The major embarrassment for Kareem was not that he claimed to be whom the question was about. The real shame is that he himself delivered that famous line while playing “Rodger Murdock” in the movie Airplane!. So in honor of Kareem, we give you the Top 15 Most Quotable Movies complete with some of the most memorable lines and clips from the movies. (By the nature of the movies, some quotes and video clips contain language that is NSFW. Proceed with caution.)
Goodfellas
Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies… Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I’m free the next morning…. Thirty-two hundred dollars he gave me.

I would have been dead…

I am sure I will get quite a few comments and emails questioning why a certain movie was left off the list and why a particular one was included. Keep in mind I had originally intended to only do 10 movies but expanded it to 15. Leave your suggestions for those movies left off the list in the comments section and we’ll put together a part II soon.
