Movies are a huge part of our culture. No matter what they are about, they can cause a wide range of emotions. However, there are some movies that stand above the rest and will go down in history as all time classics. A big reason why many movies are remembered forever is because they have memorable quotes.
Just think about it, in all of your favorite movies there are at least a few lines that you can recite off of the top of your head. This applies for both old and new movies. For example, many people remember the classic Gone With the Wind for its treasured quotes. Rhett uttering the words “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” as Scarlett stands tearfully in the doorway is etched in everyone’s mind who has ever seen that movie. Another old time movie that is remembered largely because of its outstanding lines is Casablanca. One of the most memorable lines from Casablanca occurs at the end of the movie when Rick says “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Movies from the past few decades are also remembered for their unforgettable quotes. One movie that is loaded with unforgettable lines is Scarface. The most iconic line from Scarface is undoubtedly “Say hello to my little friend!” which Tony Montana uttered as he was under attack. Even movies released within the past few years are already quoted regularly. One such movie is 300. “This is Sparta!” was yelled by King Leonidas as he kicked a Persian messenger into a well. This line will undoubtedly keep the movie 300 alive forever.
In my opinion, if a movie is to be remembered forever and be considered a classic, it must have at least one memorable quote. After all, if the movie has no unforgettable quotes, how can it be remembered?
