Clue was absolutely amazing.
I agree wholeheartedly! "1+2+2+1..."
(That said, in truth, I'm reasonably sure that there have always been great movies and terrible movies; the great ones tend to stick around while the terrible ones tend to be forgotten. Thus we have large volumes of great older films while being blitzkreig'd with modern movies of varying skilled craftsmanship. Thus we have a very inherently skewed view of movies: "older is good, newer is often crap" - it's a kind of confirmation bias. Like older tv shows.)
I think a chunk of it may be that the type of comedy being done in Clue and (to give another example) Ghostbusters -- the deadpan style of many of the gags -- just isn't something you see much anymore. It may be a change in what appeals to the audience, it may be nostalgia adding a rosy glow. Clue is still awesome.
To throw another one out there...
"You don't normally see that kind of behavior in a kitchen appliance..."

Star Trek: First Contact
One of the better ST movies: "And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."
Perhaps my all time fave.

You kind of gave it away there Readerbreeder, Ghostbusters.
Actually, Ghostbusters 2, but close enough for gov't work.
Another...
W: It's a big house, we'll divide it up! You stay in your half, I'll stay in mine!
A: That is such a dumb idea. Sometimes it amazes me you ever passed the bar.
W: I'm sure it does, you've never passed a bar in you life.
A: You are so much less attractive when I'm sober.
W: Thank goodness it's not that often.

Venkman says that in the first right after Dana describes the Hell Hound in the fridge.
Maybe when they have the goop in the toaster and get it to "dance" when they play music? Maybe?... It's been too long for me to make any good guesses about those two. :)

@Fallen Mage and Te'Shen: Actually, you're kind of both right... I realized with your descriptions that I was conflating the two scenes in question. The quote from the toaster scene in GB2 should probably read something like "You're my favorite Christmas boutique gift item!"
And Te'Shen, The Money Pit is correct.
Another... This is one of my favorites from this movie. I think it's the bibliophile in me.
E: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. ------, but I am proud of what I am.
R: And what is that?
E: I... am a librarian.

RP: Who wants to go down the creepy tunnel inside the tomb first?
If i am not mistaken this or something very similar is in National Treasure.
Lets go to the small screen:
D: "I have the media. I have the guns. I have the government."
N: You know what I have? I have a 24 year old genius with a smartphone and a problem with authority. You really never stood a chance.

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick!

[This is a voiceover at the beginning of the film] "Times were good in America. There was plenty of everything: jobs, security, laughs. America was in great shape, except for the President, William Howard Taft. Was *he* a porker. At 310 lbs. he weighed as much as Teddy Roosevelt and half of William McKinley. Immigrants poured into the country from all over the world looking for a better life for their children. And over 97% of them settled into a 2-block area of New York City."

1: "You, sir, remind me of someone I met during the extraordinary case of the Manchurian mambo."
2: *****, can I have a word? [pulls him aside] "I believe you mean the Manchurian mamba."
1: "Mambo, mamba. What's the difference?"
2: "Oh, very little, other than one is a deadly poisonous snake, and the other is a rather festive Caribbean dance."
1: [beat, then turns back] "It was a night like any other, when I heard a knock on my door. I opened it, and there were these Manchurians, doing a rather festive Caribbean dance."
...
"I'm going to give you some bullets; try not to shoot yourself. At least, not until I give the signal."
...
1: "Oh, he was very religious. Always quoting from the Psalms."
2: "Ah yes, the Psalms. One of my favorite books! The, uh, Bible, isn't it?"2)
"I can curse if I want to! Damn, damn, hell, damn, tee-tee, poo-poo!"
...
"'I ride alone?' Rex, you're the most un-alone man I've ever met!"
...
"I'll have a glass of warm milk."
[bartender glares]
"Give me a sarsaparilla."
[bartenter glares]
"Look, is this one of those really tough bars?"
[bartender nods]
"Give me a tall glass of warm gin with a human hair in it."3)
"I hate her crooked teeth. I hate her 1960s haircut. I hate her knobby knees. I hate that cockroach-shaped splotch on her neck. I hate the way she smacks her lips before she talks and I hate the way she sounds when she laughs... I HATE THIS SONG!"
I'll bump these some fresh quotes from these three movies, in case anyone new is looking:
1)
S: "I believe your father was abducted."
L: "Abducted? By whom?"
S: "Abductors!"
2)
1: "You missed? How could you miss?"
2: "We've never fired these guns before, he's at least fifty yards away, there's a definite cross-wind, and we've got the sun in our eyes!"
1: "...Just shoot, OK?"
3)
V: "...lately, your work performance seems to be... a little bit off."
T: "I'm not following."
V: "Okay, here's something that you wrote last week: 'Roses are red, violets are blue, f*** you whore.'"

I'm an animator and I found a movie clip that I enjoyed so much I just had to animate a scene to it. Lots of emotion and difference in tempo. Movies good too of course.
Brother 1: "I'm your older brother, ______ ,and I was stepped over!"
Brother 2: "It's the way pop wanted it."
Brother 3: "It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect! "
And for fun,
"No one makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!"

Here's a bit of an obscure one - shouldn't be for any sci-fi fans.
"Used to be okay down here, you know that? Used to be you could walk down here any time. Go out on a Saturday night with just brass knuckles, nothing else. Maybe a piece of wood or something, piece of pipe, you know what I mean? Nowadays, you need a gun, all the time.
F***ing bunch of s*** what these people are doing to the f***ing world."
