Treasure of the Lost Sierra - "We don't need no stinking badges."Taxi Driver - "Are you talkin' to me?"
E.T. - "E.T. phone home."
The Wizard of Oz - "We're not in Kansas any more."
The Shinning - "Here's Johnny!"
On the Waterfront - "I could have been somebody, I could have been a contender."
Follow Ups:
Wizard of Oz -There's no place like home.
geoffkait,An excellent list.
"We don't need no stinking badges was given an homage too in "Blazing Saddles" by a Mexican bandit in the line of hired guns.
Another from "BS": "Where the white women at?"
Another good "W of O": "I'll get you my little pretty and your little dog too!" Aside: Interesting isn't how Toto was so central to "The Wizard of Oz. If it weren't for running away to protect Toto, she would never have been caught in the tornado in the first place. Now there's a future PhD. dissertion subject!

It is a far piece from a doctoral dissertation, but last year in my Advanced Comp class, our professor had us write a paper that ripped up a self-published book called "The Oz Factor", which compares characters from the Wizard of Oz to common personality types. Some of the author's comparisons are pretty big reaches!
My favorite is when one of the characters sees Mongo and says,
"Mongo! Santa Maria!"
nope
