Yeah, he seemed nice enough, but there was always this underlying feeling that he was batsh*t insane

Most of the memes on this list are from iconic films. You’ll see references to Star Wars, Dumb and Dumber, and Dominic Toretto, Vin Diesel’s character in the Fast & Furious franchise. But what makes a movie a classic? 

Even experts like Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz couldn’t come up with a precise definition. However, one of his personal criteria is that a film should leave a lasting impact on a person beyond the immediate viewing.

Mankiewicz’s second criterion is that the film should have some degree of cinematic importance, and he used the 1939 film Gone With the Wind as an example. Although he personally didn’t like the movie, as he told CNN in an interview, Mankiewicz recognized how it changed the face of cinema at the time by pioneering technicolor.

Many would likely agree that a classic film has stood the test of time. Jaws, Citizen Kane, Pulp Fiction, The Breakfast Club, and Back to the Future are common top-of-the-head examples. Mankiewicz agrees, but he has a caveat. 

“There are some movies that have simply stood the test of time. [You have to ask], does it hold up as a great piece of art?”

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this message would have been better from Clippy?

Mankiewicz pointed out an important fact: the passing of time can shift our appreciation for a film and whether or not we define it as a classic. The general public didn’t accept Scarface when it premiered in 1983. 

Critics slammed the movie for its supposed “gruesome, misogynistic, racist, and nihilistic” nature. However, it is considered a cult classic that’s been a goldmine for quotable quotes.

The teletubbies always gave me the creeps. I mean, there are humans behind those dresses, and they act like weirdos. Nightmare fuel.

Dazed and Confused drew flak for being a “stoner film” upon its release in 1993. It also didn’t help that it failed to make bank, earning only $8 million from a $6.9 million budget. 

As years passed, the movie slowly grew fandom. To this day, it is considered a favorite among many who enjoy the coming-of-age genre. And the critics agree. Alright, alright, alright.

Since this list has several references to Star Wars, let's dive into some lesser-known trivia. Here's one: Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, wore bleached-out blue jeans with the back pockets removed. 

In a social media post in 2019, Hamill stated he was proof of creator George Lucas's statement describing Star Wars as "the most expensive low-budget movie ever made."

Hamill's co-star Carrie Fisher concurred in an interview with BBC in 1977. According to the late actress who portrayed Princess Leia, the producers only spent $3 million on special effects despite having a $10 million film budget.

You can tell a lot about a person by what they mean when they say they love "Rocky!" My father, bless his heart, thought my friends and I went out at midnight in lingerie to see Stallone boxing.

I'm sorry, but there is not a Universe where Tim Curry is not Frankenfurter. I was dating a woman, not for a very long time when another friend got us a ticket to see the live reenactment of Rocky Horror at the NYC theater where, according to legend, it became popular. I was loving it, but I wasn't clueing into that my girlfriend was out of her comfort zone. Way out out of here zone, she was clutching my arm pretty tightly. Then she had to go to the restroom which everyone could see was packed. She told to wait right at the EXACT same spot for her to return. She came back, quite flustered and told me there was a Man! in the restroom, wearing only lingerie! putting on makeup! I replied, "Of course, that's Frankenfurter". I got a really good look from here and we broke up soon after that.

Fans know C-3PO and R2-D2 as droid tag-team partners. However, the actors who portrayed them didn’t get along. Kenny Baker, who played the latter, described his co-star Anthony Daniels as a “rude” person who “doesn’t mix at all” in a 2014 interview with Hollywood.com.

The feelings are mutual. In a 2022 interview with Express, Daniels claimed Baker badmouthed him to the point that people started believing it. 

“Kenny decided that he wanted to say unkind, unpleasant, rude, hurtful things. It got worse and worse.”
