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
Nuke it from orbit
There goes our salvage guys
You got the duty, open that bag
Mostly
The top two are obviously familiar, but certainly wouldn't attribute the first one to that movie. I don't think I've ever heard the next two phrases used or remember them from the movie, and never heard anyone use 'mostly' as a reference from that movie.
Maybe it's an insider thing
The "Mostly" thing is the most famous quote from Aliens.
The movie quote for "its a dry heat" is from Aliens but I think it is a common phrase used in places like Arizona.
I probably didn't pick the most well known ones, but watch the film (which is always worth doing) and you'll see.
