Let’s set the stage. Rain is pouring down, and two people are arguing – you know how people do when it’s literally dumping buckets of rain. Hopefully, we can borrow those buckets for our tears, because this scene from The Notebook got us good.
The quote is said near the end of the film when the audience finally knows the twist. This quote is from none other than Fight Club. It’s about the narrator’s depression and the prevalence of capitalism. Tyler represented freedom (coming in the form of beating the snot out of other guys). We realize we broke the #1 rule of the club.
Did this one trick you up! Some people’s first thought is “Casablanca,” but nope! This one is from Gone with the Wind. Scarlett finally admits that she loves him, but Rhett is tired of her crap (and he doesn’t give a damn). This is when he’s finally able to admit that to her, and it took a long time for him to reach this point.
This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in cinema history. Marlon Brando's character is lamenting over the fact that he could've been something as his conscience weighs on him. He thinks about how his life could've been different instead of being “a bum.” On the Waterfront is iconic.
Casablanca is a love story to remember. In the film, the line was originally adlibbed. It worked so well, that he decided to use it twice. Talk about talent! Tell you what, we’d be glad to see Ingrid Bergman there with us!
This line was one that made us realize how tough Clint Eastwood really was – or at least younger generations. When you threaten this man, he stands there and tells you to come after him. You won’t like the result. The movie? Sudden Impact.
Jennifer Grey had the nickname “Baby,” and she was super talented – like, amazingly so. When they try to sideline her, Johnny Castle steps in and says this famous line. In Dirty Dancing, you don't put your most talented people in the corner.
Said by Robert Duvall, this is a line that has been remembered for decades. After all, the movie came out in 1971! Apocalypse Now was a harrowing look at war and the effect it has on soldiers. This quote is said just after a bunch of bombs were dropped near soldiers, and the LT begins his story.
This film was a huge success and skyrocketed a lot of careers. The line is spoken by two actors, Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. This particular scene from Jerry McGuire made the movie, and it never gets old.
This one is easily one of the most iconic lines in all of cinema history – although, which line on this list isn’t?! It was the one that forever made you hiss after hearing “fava beans” or “Chianti.” This one is from Silence of the Lambs! Hannibal always did scare the jeebies out of us.
When pushed to the breaking point, have you ever wanted to scream something profound? Nothing will ever be as profound as this line from A Few Good Men. Apparently, this line was actually ad-libbed! We wouldn’t expect any less from Jack Nicholson.
Yeah, we’ll have what she’s having too. When Harry Met Sally is a hilarious romance. This deli scene changed the way we talk about the most intimate act between a man and a woman. It also made us wonder what that old woman thought she was having.
You know, as we grow older, this line becomes truer and truer. Life really is like a box of chocolates. Mama always knew the right thing to say. It’s the most famous line in Forrest Gump, alongside “Run, Forrest! Run!”
“I see dead people” was a shuddering line that was delivered by little Haley Joel Osment. No one else could’ve done a better job because he just has a Sixth Sense about these things. Get it? Sorry, that was a lame joke.
This line is hard to watch for a number of reasons (although, the play, a Streetcar Named Desire, isn’t much easier). The scene comes when Stanley has physically beaten Stella, and she’s escaped upstairs to her friend’s apartment. Stanley goes outside and yells his wife’s name, half-drunk and half-dressed.
Would you believe this line is actually misquoted, even in the movie? Apollo 11 was referencing the actual historical line told to ground control when there was an accident aboard Apollo 13. The actual line is “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Close, but no cigar.
This line is spoken by Tom Hanks in a League of Their Own. Evelyn was called over and chastised. She started to cry, and Tom Hanks’s character spat out this infamous quote. When another teammate commented on it, he just repeated the line.
So, this one should be easy to guess. Half of the title is in the line itself. The quote is from Love Story, Originally, the line read, “love means not ever having to say you're sorry.” It was pretty smart to change it.
Mrs. Robinson! The guy is young enough to be your kid. Er – well, either way. This line is from The Graduate. Dustin Hoffman certainly got an eyeful in this movie. It’s one he’ll never forget.
This film had a million and one-liners you could pull from it. Airplane is still one of the best comedies out there, and we’ll fight anyone that says otherwise. This is one of our favorites. We’re serious, and don’t call us Shirley.
We get what this quote is trying to say, but the giant ape had airplanes shooting at him. At minimum, it’s a culmination of both the airplanes and the beauty. This line is from the original (and rebooted) King Kong films.
Now that Robin Williams has passed, this movie makes even the toughest of men cry. He was one of the best actors and comedians we’ll ever see, and this movie proves it. Dead Poets Society is one of our favorites.
This one is pretty true whether you’re referring to a bunch of kids in detention or adults. The Breakfast Club is one we all grew up with, but we have some questions. Did John Bender go back to his abusive dad or did someone do something about it?
Talk about hot and steamy! Everyone may not love this film, but it became one of the highest-grossing movies in history. Titanic made us all jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio (or maybe Kate Winslet) as the pair fall in love.
These are wise words to live by. Braveheart was the story about Scottish leader William Wallace. This was him leading his country during the First War of Scottish Independence. Gotta say, Mel Gibson was an excellent choice.
You just don’t mess with Liam Neeson. It doesn’t matter what movie he’s in, he’ll kick your butt and send you home crying to your mama! This line from Taken proves it and became a meme for how terrifying Liam Neeson truly was.
It’s hard to pick out one line from The Princess Bride that should be on this list. “As you wish” was close, mostly because it still makes us weak in the knees. Then there’s “INCONCEIVABLE!” (but we don’t think that word means what we think it means).
So, we all should’ve seen the whole Darth twist considering his name is name literally translates to Dark Father, but Star Wars was still amazing. If you’re wondering, this one is from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Funny enough, this iconic line was adlibbed. There was no real set when the crew was filming Midnight Cowboy. When Dustin Hoffman nearly got hit, it was in real life. He spat out this line, completely in character, and continued the scene as if nothing had happened.
This line hit home for many people. Life isn’t easy, but it’s a lot better than what RentBoy and his crew get into. Even at the end of Trainspotting, RentBoy choosing life and a future (and that really big television).
