dammmmmmn you tell em! This guy means business; I wouldn’t
mess with him if I were you. Whats up guys!? I’m your host Joce and welcome
back to Top 10 Beyond the Screen. Hit that subscribe buttom while you’re here and stick
around until the end of the video where I’ll do some comment shoutouts! So, let’s be
honest here. Raise your hand if you’re the type of person who quotes tons of movies.
ME! There’s always a line in a movie that sticks out the most and people can’t help
but repeat it afterwards. That’s why today were talking about the Top 10 Most Memorable
Movie Lines Of All Time. There’s a lot of movies out there; it’s almost impossible
to pick just 10, so let me know in the comments below what your favourite movie line is. Let’s
jump in!
10) Starting off our list in the number 10 spot is the line “Say hello to my little
friend!” The famous line from the 1983 movie Scarface. Al Pacino starred in this classic
crime thriller, taking on the role of Tony Montana who stakes a claim on the drug trade
in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest
drug lord in the state, having total control on all the cocaine that comes through Miami.
And every drug lord needs a catchphrase.. his being “Say hello to my little friend”
as he pulls out his gun. This line has stuck with the audience all these years with people
now saying it in reference to many different things. You can literally take anything out
of your pocket while saying this line and people will laugh their ass off. Which is
kind of strange seeing as in the movie his little “friend” is what killed people.
But- let’s just have a sense of humour with this one.
9) Taking the number 9 spot is the classic line “Houston, we have a problem”. This
line became a classic because the story behind it was a very tragic one that people will
never forget. It’s the memorable quote from the radio communications between the Apollo
13 astronaut John Swigert and the NASA Mission Control Center. The line was said as the astronauts
communicated that their spacecraft had an explosion and is crippling their flight. Although
the line was said by actor Tom Hanks, the movie re-enacts the true events of the Apollo
13 tragedy. The line was actually said in real life during the tragedy by astronaut
Jim Lovell, who said “Houston, we’ve had a problem”. Ever since the movie came out,
people all over the world use the phrase when a problem is going on in their own life. Big
things, small things, it’s become a light hearted saying that people often turn to in
casual conversations.
8) In at number 8 we have the line “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know
what you’re gonna get”. There’s no way you thought that this one wouldn’t make
it on the list. This one comes from the movie Forrest Gump which came out in 1994. Actor
Tom Hanks is known for this iconic role. Hopefully you’ve never had to sit next to Forrest
Gump on a bench: he’ll talk your ear off for a goof 3 hours, you’ll miss your bus,
and then he’ll offer you chocolates even though you have no idea where they came from.
I mean if I’m being honest.. I’d probably take the chocolate. Forrest Gump is the one
who says the line that we all remember, but he’s actually referring to his mom’s metaphor
that she always told him. This one has stuck with people ever since they heard it in 1994;
most people start saying it when they feel like giving out fortune-cookie wisdom or corny
life advice to a friend.
7) Coming into number 7 we have the line “You had me at Hello”; the beautiful and romantic
line that left most of us girls all giddy and blushing. The line comes from the movie
Jerry Maguire that came out back in 1996. The movie follows the story of Jerry Maguire,
who was played by Tom Cruise. He was fired from his job so creates his own management
firm, to try and hold onto the athletes that he represents. But he has someone join him
on his adventure which is when we see the love story play out with Dorothy Boyd, who
was played by Renee Zellweger. Quite the duet if you ask me. Things go sour and Jerry shows
up giving Renee this big heart felt speech in front of some of her family and friends,
trying to win her back. The monologue goes on for a few minutes, pulling the audience
in of course, because it’s so damn cute. But he begins to ramble and that’s when
Dorothy tells him to shut up. Literally- she says shut up. The scene pauses for a moment
as she says “you had me at hello”. UGHHH tugging on my heart strings. She would’ve
saved him 2 minutes of talking if she just would’ve taken him back when he came in
and said hello. But then we wouldn’t have this memorable line with us still, which is
a staple on Valentine’s Day I’m sure.
6) Here we are at number 6 with the movie line “You’re gunna need a bigger boat”.
This one comes from the legendary thriller Jaws, which came out in 1975 and is none other
than Steven Spielberg’s. It was known world-wide for being such a thrill, and for making the
entire generation pause and think.. hmm.. on second thought, maybe I don’t want to
go swimming right now. The movie follows two guys named Matt Hooper and captain Quint who
offer to help Brody go out and hunt down the killer beast shark that killed a young woman
while she was skinny-dipping. How heroic of them. Heoric? Or stupid? While they are on
their hunting trip; Brody gets the first close up look at the killer shark and that’s where
the famous line comes in. After seeing the shark, stunned Brody backs into the cabin
and tells Quint “You’re gunna need a bigger boat”. With a shocked expression on his
face, cigarette clamped between his lips; it’s the perfect reaction and that’s probably
why the line still sticks around. It was a hilarious way of saying bro… this shark
is huge. The screenwriter of the movie said the line was also just as memorable on set
during filming. He said "It became a catchphrase for anytime anything went wrong — whether
lunch was late or if the swells were rocking the camera." Who would’ve known it would
be so popular.
5) Half way through at number 5 we have the line “there’s no place like home”. This
one comes from the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz; I’m sure we all remember this one
well. The line is said when Dorothy is wishing to get home. The Good Witch of the North,
Glinda, tells Dorothy that if she taps her magical red slippers 3 time’s and says the
phrase “there’s no place like home”; then she will be back in Kansas. So, we see
Dorothy tap her shoes, say the famous line, and return to her home with her cute dog Toto.
It always made me wish I had magical red shoes that could help me teleport. The phrase became
widely popular and was the catchphrase of the movie. The filmmakers actually took the
line straight from the original fantasy novel that the film was based off of. People now
say this phrase all the time; you can even find the quote plastered on home décor items
and picture frames.
4) Swiping the number 4 spot is the line “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and
look around once in a while, you could miss it”. Another one that could totally be written
on a picture frame. This one comes from the 1986 Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. Shame on
you if you haven’t seen this one, but if you didn’t; I’ll give ya the quick rundown.
The movie follows Ferris Bueller who has an incredible skill of cutting classes and getting
away with it. He decides to have one more day off before graduation, so he calls in
sick, “borrows” a Ferrari, and heads off on a journey through the streets of Chicago.
His school principal is on his tail though, determined to catch him in the act. The memorable
line is Ferris’ quote to live by, sorta like his motto. He likes to live life to the
fullest as we see throughout the movie. He says this classic line directly to the camera
as if he’s talking one-on-one with the audience. The quote is now legendary, probably because
it encourages people to enjoy life because it goes by fast. Or because kids felt inspired
to skip school once they saw all his success.
3) And at number 3 we have the movie line “Get busy living, or get busy dying”.
Another one that just gives you this spark of positive energy. This one comes from the
one-and-only movie The Shawshank Redemption. The iconic movie follows the story of Andy,
who is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and
her lover. On top of that he is sentenced to a very tough prison. However, only Andy
knows he didn't commit the crimes. While there, he forms a friendship with Red, played by
Morgan Freeman, experiences the brutality of prison life, adapts to it, helps the warden,
and a bunch more… all in 19 years. The memorable line “get busy living, or get busy dying”
portrays the message the movie is trying to share. Every living person is both living
and dying every day. They can either move their life in a positive direction (get busy
living), or not (get busy dying) The choice is what makes all the difference. One of the
old men in the movie, Brooks, has been in prison for so long, that he was considered
busy dying. Andy survived it all, because he was busy living. So basically, it’s another
memorable quote to remind us to live life to the fullest.
2) Swiping the number 2 spot is the line “keep your friends close but your enemies closer”.
Pretty sure we’ve all tweeted or hashtagged this at some point in our lives. The line
comes from The Godfather 2 which came out in 1974; it was the compelling sequel to the
original The Godfather. The protagonist of the story, Michael Corleone, is the one who
says this famous line. The meaning of it has caused lots of controversy because people
interpret it in many different ways. Is it suggesting that we get to know our enemies
well? Why would we want to do that? People are saying that the deeper meaning is knowing
the difference between the treatment of your friends, and the treatment of your enemies,
but not letting your enemy know. The line implies that you should treat your enemies
as you treat your friends, because you don’t want your enemies to know that they are infact
your enemies. It can be a bit confusing if I’m being honest. But it’s a tricky little
mind game that people are now famously standing by. Basically, just keep a poker face with
your enemy.
1) Taking the number 1 spot is the line “I will look for you, I will find you, and I
will kill you”. Now, I know I can’t say it in the deep raspy voice that Liam Neeson
has, but it still doesn’t change the effect this movie line has. The line comes from the
action thriller Taken which came out back in 2008. The story follows a father named
Bryan Mills, played by Liam Neeson, who is a former government operative trying to reconnect
with his daughter Kim. Every parent’s worst fear comes true, when sex slavers abduct Kim
and her friends shortly after they arrive in Paris for vacation. Kim will be auctioned
off in just 4 days, so Bryan has to use every skill he has learned to try and rescue her.
It isn’t until he is on the phone with her abductors that he says this famous line. People
became so obsessed with it; it’s now turned into a variety of memes online. The memes
have the shot of Liam on the phone but is replaced with hilarious text instead. People
are so creative sometimes.
