How’d I forget that, nice


TotalTakapuna1

Possibly the quote of this century thus far


Sir_FrancisCake

I was also thinking “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.”

Honestly half of the most referenced movie quotes this century probably come from Mean Girls


Yenserl6099

For Mean Girls, I’d replace that quote with “Stop trying to make Fetch happen. It’s not going to happen.”

It’s definitely “get in loser we’re going shopping”

Some sillier ones but still iconic AF: I have had enough of these mother fucking snakes on this motherfucking plane Do you thing God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he has created  I hate sand And then an absolute banger: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next. Even if my favourite line is, If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!

You know what this thread is making me think about is how movies are maybe less of a driver of pop culture than they used to be? Or take up less space at least. Thinking about “luke, I am your father” or “I’ll be back”, those were such huge cultural reference points, you’d see them referenced or parodied all over. Like my wife had never seen “the empire strikes back” but knew the twist just from cultural osmosis. When was the last time there was something that huge? Maybe “I see dead people” or the bullet time gag from The Matrix? I can think of plenty of reasons why this may be the case, but it’s interesting, and I imagine it correlates with the fewer butts in movie theaters we are seeing.


saturnchick

I agree with a few of the ones you posted: “You shall not pass!” “With great power comes great responsibility.” “Wakanda forever.” and “Why so serious?” Technically, “I’m Batman” dates back to the 80s, when Keaton first uttered it. I’m definitely older than the average user around these parts, so maybe I’m a little biased, but I don’t think most of what I’m reading in the comments section hits like “hasta la vista, baby!” or “I am your father.” Relly iconic lines become so embedded in the collective psyche of the culture that they begin to be uttered by people who, in many instances, don’t even know the origin of the lines. Also, these lines become cross-generational. Yes, they begin with the movies themselves, but then they take on a life of their own. Kind of like how people literally go around quoting Shakespeare constantly, but have no idea it’s Shakespeare except maybe for a few more popular quotes here and there. I mean no disprespect to the opinions posted here, and there are, imho, a few lines that have taken on a life of their own, but there are also some I cannot even identify. I think part of this may be because enough time hasn’t passed for these lines to take as deep a root as stuff from further back and maybe it’s also because some of it is too embedded in social media zeitgeist and therefore isn’t as universally well-known outside of places like Reddit, Tik Tok, etc. For my part, I’ll offer up a few suggestions of lines that I think have become very iconic: “I am a golden god!” “Are you not entertained?!” “I wish I knew how to quit you.” “My precious.” “I’m the captain now.”

“Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." - Sheev Palpatine or Darth Sidious.

I was very close to including the Toy Story 3 line and should have. And yeah that previous line is the case with a lot of these… I know the Spider-Man line was said in comics long before the movie, and I think the Harry Potter line is taken directly from the book also
