  • Chopping Mall - “Where shopping will cost you an arm and a leg!”

    The Lift - "Take the stairs. Take the stairs. For God's sake, take the stairs!!!"

  • Haha, love 'em.

  • Edward Scissorhands- "His story will touch you, even though he can't."

    Dead Snow- “Ein, zwei, die!”

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail- "Makes Ben Hur look like an epic."

    Armaggedon- "Earth. It was fun while it lasted."

    Dazed and Confused- "See it with a bud."

    American Pie- "There's something about your first piece."

    Silent Rage- "Science created him. Now Chuck Norris must destroy him."

    Alien 3- "The bitch is back."

    Machete- "They just fucked with the wrong Mexican."

    Jurassic Park- “An adventure 65 million years in the making.”

    True Lies- "When he said I do, he never said what he did."

    40 Year Old Virgin- "The longer you wait, the harder it gets."

  • Here are a couple suggestions off the top of my head. They're simple but memorable.

    "Inception" - "Your mind is the scene of the crime."

    "Ratatouille" - "He's dying to become a chef." (That one may work better when paired with the one-sheet art.)

  • The Royal Tenenbaums - "Family isn't a word. It's a sentence."

    Alien vs Predator - "Whoever wins...we lose" - well they were right

    Black Christmas - "Last Christmas, you gave me your heart… now I want your eyeballs"

    The Fly - "Be afraid. Be very afraid."

    Jaws 2 - "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…"

  • Have to agree with Adam's suggestion of "The Fly."

  • Good suggestions. Keep them coming.

  • I second Dead Snow's “Ein, zwei, die!", better than the film.

  • This Is Spinal Tap: "Does for rock and roll what 'The Sound of Music' did for hills."
    Mars Attacks: "Nice Planet. We'll take it."
    Chicken Run: "Escape or die frying"

  • Crank 2: "He was dead....but he got better"

  • Army of Darkness - "Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas."
    Buffalo Soldiers - "War is hell.... but peace is fucking boring" (sums up the theme of the movie quite nicely I think)

  • KILL BILL VOLUME II: The Bride is back for the final cut.
    ED WOOD: Movies were his passion. Women were his inspiration. Angora sweaters were his weakness.

  • THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE II: 100% medically inaccurate.
    NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: If Nancy doesn't wake up screaming, she won't wake up at all.

  • Temple of Doom: "If adventure has a name... it must be Indiana Jones."

  • PINK FLAMINGOS: "An Exercise In Poor Taste"
    GREMLINS: "Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous."

  • HOME ALONE: "A Family Comedy Without The Family."

  • Updated. Sorry I haven't been able to get a chance to update this. Keep it coming. :)

  • THE MONSTER SQUAD: "You know who to call when you have ghosts. But who do you call when you have monsters?"
    BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 2: "Getting back was only the beginning..."
    HIGH ANXIETY: "A Psycho-comedy."
    HALLOWEEN: "The night HE came home!"
    THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: "Who will survive and what will be left of them."

  • GODZILLA : "Size Does Matter!"

    RAMBO: "Heros don't die.....They just reload!"

    FORD FAIRLANE: " To his clients, he's the world's greatest Rock-and-Roll detective..To everyone else he's just a dick!"

    GHOSTBUSTERS: "Who you gonna call?"

    PHYCHO: "The classic story of a boy and his mother".or
    "Check-in, Relax, Have a shower"
    One more:
    THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY: "Love is in the hair!"

  • OK: a couple more:
    PREDATOR 2: "He's just in town with a few days to kill"
