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.
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.
Makes sense, but it still seems like all the recognizable ‘quotes’ mentioned are quotes the movie used, and not ones that are came from the movie itself, to the point where it would only be in very specific context where anyone saying them would be quoting Aliens.

It’s a dry heat
Nuke it from orbit
There goes our salvage guys
You got the duty, open that bag

Game over man, game over!

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.
“Get away from her you bi tch”
The “dry heat” line comes from Hudson when they first go into the reactor/nest and they’re looking around, just before the attack.
