Walter Mitty - describing someone who lives in a fantasy world (book first though obviously).
Rain Man to describe someone a bit like Nicey
Deliverence to describe someone who's a bit backward/redneck
Brokeback, someone straight who's turned gay
Stepford in reference to someone who is a bit robotic/doesn't have a mind of their own
All from title's though, not really the same as bunny boiler.
from TV - jumping the shark - when something happens on screen that is ridiculously unlikely and has virtually nothing to do with the plot.

"Get off your horse and drink your milk"
Ok, not a catchphrase, at least a quote commonly attributed to John Wayne but never spoken.

Not from a specific film, but to 'Bogart' a joint...

"Don't cross the streams"
Except that probably is actually a quote. And it isn't really a commonly used phrase, except in mens' wall-type urinals.

Again:
"Friend of Dorothy". Gay slang. After gays idolisation of Judy Garland, specifically her role in the Wizard Of Oz.
"Jump The Shark" Not after a movie, but TV. After scene in later episode of Happy Days. Phrase describing any desperate attempt to keep ailing audience.
Later, but similar: "Nuke the Fridge". After Indiana Jones scene. Now means any film series that gets ever worse, ie "Fast And Furious 8 will seriously nuke the fridge."
All idioms originating from movies/TV. Not quotes.

Catch 22 is the only one that sort of fits- even though it's a book. Wierd how Fatal Attraction appears to be the only film that's spawned a saying

Hold up, I've lost the thread here. A phrase from a movie is still basically a quote isn't it? How can it be a phrase but not a quote?
