We love movies. They entertain, enthrall, and educate us on topics ranging from the real to the surreal. Every so often there comes a movie that not only dominates the box office, it also becomes a part of popular culture. Some movies live on through a famous line of the script, so that more people know the quote than have actually seen the movie.
Spoken by Martin Brody after the mammoth great white shark almost takes off his arm, this line qualifies as both comic relief and massive understatement! (Jaws)
"....It's a space station." The ominous statement from Ben Kenobi set us off on an adventure that spanned dozens of planets and 30 years. The quote has been used by geeks, bloggers, other movies and even news articles about the space program. (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope)
We all have moments when we want to be like Rhett Butler and tell someone we really don't care about their problems--but few of us could pull it off with the panache of Clark Gable! (Gone With the Wind)
The anguished cry from Ty Thorn in the 1973 science fiction flick has become a catch phrase far more popular than the movie itself. A variety of soylent products have made cameos on TV shows such a The Simpsons and Futurama. (Soylent Green)
Parting words and a wish for luck, this phrase was spoken by several characters throughout the Star Wars trilogies, though perhaps never as touchingly as when Han Solo--a Force agnostic at best--said it to Luke before the assault on the Death Star. (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope)
Nice list of one liners. I remember most of these famous one liners.
