Monty Python Quest for the holy grail.

Every character, every scene

I think this is the correct answer, at least in English language.

From the top of my head in roughly the right order:

Tis but a flesh wound You're father smells of elderberries We want...a shrubbery Watery tarts throwing swords at people is no basis for a government She turned me into a newt On second thoughts, it's a silly place Bravely bravely ran away You have to know these things when you're a king you know

Everything Mel Brooks.

Airplane!

The Producers

Blazing Saddles... etc.

So many of his movies have such memorable lines and jokes that still hold up today.

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It's a dry heat

Super Troopers

From "The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries!" to "BEARFUCKER! DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?!" almost every line in that movie is quotable and relevant to most situations.
