Muriel's Wedding: Best Quotes

After 25 years, 'You're terrible, Muriel!' holds a rightful place alongside Mick Dundee's 'That's not a knife' and Daryl Kerrigan's 'Tell him he's dreaming' as catchphrases that have entered the Australian vernacular.

But PJ Hogan's memorable script produced more than just a single catchphrase, which is made obvious in the above clip. This delightful montage, taken from the movie, contains many of the best lines and memorable quotes that elevated the film to the iconic status it holds today.

Interestingly, 'You're terrible, Muriel!', was almost cut from the film during editing when writer-director Hogan felt he'd heard it so many times it was no longer funny.

Fortunately, editor Jill Bilcock convinced him to include it and it's become so entrenched in our lexicon that Toni Collette has said she has it quoted to her nearly every day.

Muriel's Wedding producer Lynda House told the NFSA in a 2014 interview, 'The film somehow translates now just as powerfully as it did then'.
