Films that "created" phrases or terms
Are there any films that have had huge influence on language? I understand that Cipher's comment in Matrix ("Buckle up your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye bye") comes from the Wizard of OZ (which I have never seen).
Are there films that either coined or promoted certain phrases/expressions/terms?
