Unforgettable Movie Quotes

alt text

Movies, as a visual medium, depict events onscreen rather than describe them. The dialogue however, plays an important “role” in a movie as there are emotions and ideas and jokes that only words themselves can express.

That’s why the history of movies is as much the history of their words as their pictures. Name any favorite movie you have and odds are the first things that come to mind are as much its treasured lines as its breathtaking visuals.

Sometimes a character in a movie utters a line so brilliant, so quotable, that it becomes part of our collective vocabulary forever. Movies can be an escape from reality or an inspiration. We often relate to the characters, situations they’re presented with, or words they speak. And many famous quotes have originated from movies.

Today, these movie quotes would have been called as having gone “viral”.

Check out the movie quotes and test your memory to see how many you remember.

Every age has its visionaries who leave, in the wake of their genius, a changed world--but rarely without a battle over exactly what happened and who was there at the moment of creation.

"The Social Network" explores the moment at which Facebook was invented - through the warring perspectives of the super-smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception.

The movie moves from the halls of Harvard to the cubicles of Palo Alto to capture the heady early days of a culture-changing phenomenon in the making - and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart.

In the midst of the chaos are Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), the brilliant Harvard student who conceived a Web site; Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), once Zuckerberg's close friend, who provided the seed money for the fledgling company.

"The Godfather" is that rare motion picture that satisfies the visceral desire for sensational entertainment, the emotional need for affecting drama, and the intellectual drive for art. Born from a mass market potboiler about the Mafia by an author desperate to make a few bucks, the resulting film version is one of the great American films about family - brought to life with vivid direction and craftsmanship and some of the best actors ever to appear on screen.

The movie premiered fifty years ago, on March 14, 1972 and has since remained atop many all-time favorites lists, with a profound impact not only on Hollywood, but on popular culture around the world. Francis Ford Coppola’s sweeping masterpiece about the Corleone family gave the world quotable lines and indelible images, a total package of a film that is essentially perfect from start to finish.

The film opened to blockbuster business and became a landmark, inspiring two sequels, imitations, book sequels, a computer game, parodies, and more cultural references and quotable dialogue than nearly any movie of the last half-century.

Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is a British scholar who occasionally suffers from bizarre hallucinations of demonic beings. During a trip to Istanbul, Alithea purchases an antique bottle, and accidentally unleashes a Djinn (Idris Elba) that was trapped within it.

The Djinn offers to grant Alithea three wishes, so long as each one is truly her heart's desire, but Alithea argues that wishing is a mistake, accusing the Djinn of being a trickster.

In response to her accusation, the Djinn proceeds to tell her three tales of his past and how he ended up trapped in the bottle. The Djinn tells the story of the Queen of Sheba, his cousin and lover, being wooed by King Solomon, who imprisons the Djinn in a bottle to keep Sheba for himself.

The Djinn's second story centers on Gülten, a young concubine in the palace of Suleiman the Magnificent. After finding the Djinn's bottle, Gülten wishes for Suleiman's son, Mustafa, to fall in love with her and subsequently wishes to bear his child.
