You may not realize the significant impact that movies and Hollywood likely hold over your life. Some individuals claim to be immune to the sway of mainstream media and popular culture, though in truth, this is quite challenging. Nearly everyone today is familiar with Britney Spears, for instance. Just as with pop culture celebrities, films affect us in subtle ways. Often, the most memorable elements of any movie are the lines spoken by the characters. Kids exchange these between classes, colleagues banter with them around the water cooler, and they become so embedded in our culture that even those who haven’t watched the movie can quote it as well as those who have. While some of these quotes have little significance — for example, the misquote “Luke, I am your father” that everyone recognizes — others hold their own distinctive value. So, we’re setting out to spotlight those quotes that can be described as “awesome” and “unforgettable”. Without further ado, here’s our compilation of 25 remarkably memorable movie lines!
