I caught:
1. Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- mash potato
2. Star Wars Episode V (Empire Strikes Back) -- Luke, I'm your father.
3. Terminator -- I'll be back.
4. Jaws -- You're gonna need a bigger boat.
5. <forgot the name of it> -- You talking to me?
Additional ones I noticed:
6: They're here, they´re here - Gilbert Grape
7: I´ll make him an offer he can´t refuse - Godfather
8: Now thats a knife - Crocodile Dundee
Are there visual references as well or just lines? Not sure..
10: Stella! Stella! - Marlon Brando in Streetcar named Desire
11: I'll have what she's having - When Harry met Sally
12?: The sound effect of the guy sharpening the knife sounded an awful lot like the psycho shower scene music.
"Pay the man his money" is from Rounders
the man carrying the little boy into the dining room is a reference to Bob Cratchet and Tiny Tim (A Christmas Carol)
the painting on the wall in the living room is a Monet from The Thomas Crown Affair
and I can't be sure, but at :25, that looks like a Chucky Doll (Child's Play) in the background, left side of screen.
this is such a cool ad; time for a *promote
[edit] :17 the little boy bending his finger and a man sitting at a typewriter could be a reference to The Shining,. and the static on the TV, another Poltergeist
