A very few number of films are blessed with multiple lines and/or dialogue that stick in the mind and often become a part of everyday speech. Casablanca is probably the all time champion here but Chinatown, One Eyed Jacks, On the Waterfront, and Sunset Boulevard all come to mind.

Termonator III actually has a number of funny lines by the new governor...

Good ones. I had forgotten about both in terms of the lines.
I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

Oops... you probably just meant the American movies...
Why do you say that? I have many memorable non-American films in my collection.
It is hard to imagine the lines from the foreign films making it into the American life.Any examples? I can't think of one.
Those lines usually resonate much better in the local cultures.
Which is why none came to mind in listing my examples. But of course that doesn't mean that there aren't many, many truly great films from all over the world.
Of course that doesn't mean that, but your question was about films that contributed memorable lines to the culture.
!Si! And nice thread in progress re this from the usual suspects...
