Movies are pretty much our lives, they can’t be made without us and we can’t live without them, as my old uncle used to say the whole time “Movies are not memorable, their lines are”, he was absolutely correct, when you meet one of your friends and you go like “remember that movie, the one with the guy hanging from the….” and your friend says “yeah, the one when the guy SAYS….” it’s all about the lines baby! forget the movies, so here are the top 10 most memorable movie lines.
[10] “Wax on, wax off.”
Mr. Miyagi, The Karate Kid — 1984
The Karate Kid was one of the reasons to go to the movies in the ’80s. It tells the story of a new kid in town, Daniel (Ralph Macchio), who is tormented by rich karate aficionados. In order to confront them in a tournament, the kid gets tutored by a handyman, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita). The old man teaches Daniel that the heart and mind are more important than fists. One day, he has the kid wash cars, telling him to “wax on” with one hand and “wax off” with the other. In the end, Daniel realizes that washing cars served as karate practice.
[9] “Yippee-ki-yay, mother*******.”
John McClane, Die Hard — 1988
Christmas Eve should have been a quiet night for New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis), but he is forced to take action when terrorists take over the Los Angeles high-rise building where everyone — including his wife — is partying. Despite being barefoot and inefficiently armed with a gun and his wit, McClane is forced to use explosives to dispatch bad guys targeting a police armored car. After dropping his bomb, McClane says this line, in reference to the cowboy he’s been compared to.
[8] “My precious”.
Gollum, The lord of the rings : The return of the king–2003
That Gollum character just creeps me out every time I watch this movie, it’s like pure evil or something, the movie is about The former Fellowship of the Ring while they prepare for the final battle for Middle Earth, meanwhile Frodo & Sam approach Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring, at a moment of weakness the ring just becomes too tempting to Gollum and he just wanted to keep it to himself but still Frodo and Sam faced him with a heart and bravery of a giant in the body of a hobbit 
.
[7] “I’ll be back.”
The Terminator, The Terminator — 1984
Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bankable movie star, he was The Terminator, a killing machine sent back through time to kill a woman (Sarah Connor) who will one day give birth to the leader of a future human rebellion against robots. Ah-nuld says these three words in a police station after a cop tells him he’ll have to wait to see the woman. He does come back moments later as he had promised, but this time he drives a car through the wall. Schwarzenegger movies are always known for their crazy explosions and catchy one-liners.
[6] “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump–1994
Tom Hanks is Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him, simply one of the greatest movies Tom Hanks acted in, it was great fun watching this movie, just makes you think that anything is possible if you just work for it and The world will never be the same once you’ve seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.
[5] “The force will be with you, always.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars — 1977
Set in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars is about Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), a young man on a mission to save Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from Darth Vader. Along the way, Luke discovers that the father he never knew was once a valiant Jedi warrior. Consequently, he finds himself an old Jedi Master who teaches him to harness the mystical force that makes the Jedi so powerful. Urged on by Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) with this line, Luke Skywalker manages to fight and defeat the evil empire.
[4] “The name’s Bond, James Bond”
James Bond, James Bond series — 1962
Everyone’s favorite British secret agent will forever remain 007. He’s got the gadgets, the babes, and the panache to save the world in style. Whenever he introduces himself for the first time, whether to a new conquest or an evil foe, he uses this line. No matter which actor has portrayed the character over the years — Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, or Pierce Brosnan — this line is always expected and underscores the suaveness of the ultra-cool secret agent.
[3] “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
Michael Corleone, The Godfather — 1972
The Godfather is certainly one of the most influential American movies ever made. It deals with the youngest child of a New York Mafia family, and his transformation from respectable man into ruthless gangster, to preserve the family business and avenge his father being attacked. This line is spoken by both Marlon Brando (as Don Vito Corleone, he says “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”) and Al Pacino (as Michael), as further proof that whoever uses the threat of violence during negotiations will prevail.
[2] “Adrian!”
Rocky Balboa, Rocky — 1976
Certainly one of the best sports movies of all time, Sylvester Stallone stars as a struggling boxer whose dream is to one day have his shot at a big fight. When he finally gets a chance to fight the heavyweight champion of the world, he ends up losing the bout. But he goes the distance and manages to make shy Adrian (Talia Shire) fall in love with him. When he screams his girlfriend’s name at the end of the movie, we know he’s experienced his own victory, and life couldn’t be any sweeter for Rocky.
[1] “This is Sparta!”
King Leonidas, 300–2006
There is nothing better than the smell of a manly movie at any time of the day, who can miss a movie where the King of Sparta is leading his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world’s first democracy, oh and not to mention, saying “This is Sparta” while shoving someone down a well is pretty awesome.
