“You’re making it worse” (Monster’s Inc.), “What would you do with a brain if you had one?” (Wizard of Oz), “This is a tasty burger” (Pulp Fiction)
Some honorable mentions from Joe vs The Volcano include: “I am not arguing that with you.”, “I have no response to that”, “I’m a flibberdajibbit!”, and “It looks fake. I like it.”

And of course there’s “Just keep telling yourself; it’s only a movie.” But that was an ad for The Last House on the Left and not an actual quote.
I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

There another Nicholson one from “Wolf” that I reminded me of a few women I dated in college:

“You know, I think I understand what you’re like now. You’re very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you’re beautiful, but you want them to be interested in you because you’re you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you’re not very interesting. You’re rude, you’re hostile, you’re sullen, you’re withdrawn. I know you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath but the only reason anyone would bother to look past all that is because you’re beautiful. Ironic, isn’t it? In an odd way you’re your own problem.”
