How and when was "Houston, we have a problem" relegated to being a movie quote?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
Apollo 13. Kevin Bacon misquoted what was actually said. The real Swigart said, "Houston, We've had a problem", whereas Bacon said, "Houston, we have a problem". Therefore the second one is a real movie quote as it was never said by the original astronaut.

Well, to be pedantic (and thereby risk being attacked by idiots in Pompey) he actually said "Houston, we've had a problem here", but it's that meiosis that's famous, no matter how it's misquoted. Actors in movies don't make history (or do anything else useful, for that matter); real people do.

Can I add to the pedantry by saying that Tom Hanks spoke the line in the film and not Kevin Bacon :D

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Mm. Good film. I quite liked:
Father Janovich: Why didn't you call the police?
Walt Kowalski: Well you know, I prayed for them to come but nobody answered.Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."

"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. See, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now, if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it." Followed by 6 gunshots.

No Pulp Fiction?
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?
No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead N***er Storage"?
Jules: I want you to go in that bag, and find my wallet.
Pumpkin: Which one is it?

How in the universe did "Open the pod bay doors HAL" get in but "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave" didn't?
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is.

I'm afraid they couldn't do that, Henry.

Very very strange - I was just thinking about why they missed this movie when I saw your post. My favourite from this movie are the last lines - Vincent: I think we should be leaving now. Jules: Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

My favorite; "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." Casablanca had a lot of entries, was a memorable movie.
