I really wish Lionhead would release the Black and White series on Steam, or at least some kind of digital distribution platform. If there was any RTS I got into, that was it. :)

Nevertheless, Molyneux initially persisted, and the poor modelers working at Lionhead had to create the creature's morphable schlongalong. "The artist that modeled it ended up going completely insane. [He] threatened to knife me ... absolutely true story. He went on to found Media Molecule. Chap called Mark Healey."
If this article doesn't prove Molyneux is insane nothing will.

Absolutely, positively wrong sir.

Holy Grail.

There are many people that have the entire movie memorized. I have trouble not saying most of the movie as I watch it. Every time I've seen it in the theater most people are saying large portions of the movie. The last time I saw it there were small inflatable cows, swords, and real coconut halves given out to play along with the movie.

Also I'm not a Rocky Horror fan, but with all the sing along showings of that, it's gotta be #2. Holy Grail is just more likely to be thrown into everyday conversation or even have entire conversations comprised of lines from the movie.

Yeah, for sure. Holy Grail and Princess Bride are near the top of that list.

I can only think of a couple lines in Groundhog Day that are in the common vernacular.

Clerks and Lebowski, same idea, a few lines that have cut across into everyday life, but like Hobie said, there are some flicks that people can quote start too finish.

Airplane
Casablanca
Forrest Gump

Start to finish? It has quotable moments, but there's a lot of narrative...
