The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)
What People Say: “Hello, Clarice…”
What The Film Really Said: " Good evening, Clarice.” Lecter does in fact say “Hello, Clarice” in 2001’s Hannibal.
If We’re Going To Get It Wrong, Why Not: “Yo, Clarice? What’s the happy haps?”
The Wizard Of Oz (1939)
What People Say: “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto.”
What The Film Really Said: " Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Yeah, it’s not far wrong, but it is wrong.
If We’re Going To Get It Wrong, Why Not: “Holy s**t, Toto! The whole world’s gone Technicolor!”

I think "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" is from "Dr. Strangelove". I saw it years ago, so I don't know if it's the same kind of mis-quotation.

Actually in 'All about Eve' she does say "Fasten your seatbelts its going to be a bumpy night." Shockingly people do get this one right :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg-ckMup6SI - youtube video of the clip

Duh! You missed the lowest hanging fruit of all: Cool Hand Luke Misqoute: What we have here is a failure to communicate! What the film actually says: What we have here is...Failure to communicate! Even though it is only one letter, it makes a big difference in the tone.
