What's the film you know the most words to?

Star Wars original trilogy but that's a bit safe. Blues Brothers no problem (for some reason that escapes me I wrote the words out by hand when I was about 12). Temple of Doom with my eyes shut, especially enjoying all the Thugee dialect. I'd also go with Sting, I watched that so much as a teenager. Maybe do a Robert Shaw double and go Jaws. So much good dialogue in that, it's a miserable shame it gets reduced to "bigger boat".

Sort of related to the thread - I introduced my four year old to the Matilda film the other day. Out of the whole film she has remembered two lines -

“Piss worm!” (Nipped that in the bud early as don’t want her repeating this!)

and

”Don’t breathe at all!” (She can keep that one)

Die Hard, or A Nightmare on Elm Street for me(or maybe Ghostbusters). I used to watch them until the tapes were worn out back when I was a kid. Same with the TV show The Young Ones. I could sit and recite everysingle word from each episode, with pinpoint timing.

As a side note, Christmas Chronicles almost makes it onto the list, with the amount of time my youngest watched it over Christmas...

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Speed, Point Break - a theme here...

Probably some others too like Clue, The Goonies, Back to The Future and Shaun of The Dead.

Highlander.

 When I was about 17 my party trick was that me and my mate could do the whole of Highlander from memory, which as you can imagine was a big hit with the ladies.

I remember the Vhs of that film arriving at school and being passed around like it was porn.  Finally getting to watch it at aforementioned friend’s house when his parents were out remains a glorious memory.  

Any particularly strong spirit that does the rounds is still referred to as “ a little boom boom”
