Never seen it
I was going to say Life of Brian, also extremely quotable
It took growing up to get it, but I love the scene where the peasant is explaining to King Arthur that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is a terrible basis for a system of governance.
I think this is the correct answer, at least in English language.
From the top of my head in roughly the right order:
Tis but a flesh wound You're father smells of elderberries We want...a shrubbery Watery tarts throwing swords at people is no basis for a government She turned me into a newt On second thoughts, it's a silly place Bravely bravely ran away You have to know these things when you're a king you know

The Princess bride, no question!
Inconceivable!

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.
Galaxy Quest
LOL. "Let's get out of here before one of those things gets Guy." Cracks me up every time.

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.
