Dead Poets Society (1989)
World's Greatest Dad (2009)
Malcolm In The Middle (2000-2006)
As you scroll through the list, you'll realize that some of these might make you laugh, some might hurt your heart, and some might even remind you of someone you loved. That's the power of words as they can even rekindle the most passionate emotions within you.
Now, to understand more about such magical quotes and the impact they have on people, Bored Panda got in touch with Rishaya Palkhivala—a writer and filmmaker—for an interview. We spoke to her about how often people enjoy quoting dialogues from their favorite movies. She said, "Quoting movies goes beyond the enjoyment of the film, in my opinion.
"Quotes that stick are ones that have a deeper connection and evoke a strong emotion, which could be applicable in your own life. Though now that I think about it, my most quoted quote is simply something that is highly usable in conversation, so catchy quotes can also be quite popular," she added.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
He had one of the best monologues on the park bench too.
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Back when the Joker and Robin went to the same high school...probably Gotham High lol
Rick And Morty (2013 To Present)
Rick and Morty didn't make that quote up though, it was allegedly coined by John Lennon.
Quotes from compelling stories can have a powerful impact on the audience, even motivating them to make a change. When we asked our expert about how movies and TV shows help us communicate during a time when we are increasingly polarized, she mentioned how, unfortunately, a lot of films in India at the moment are doing the opposite: intentionally creating division.
"The medium of film is most conducive to communication with the masses. Traditionally, we would all go into a theatre together and watch a film as a collective experience. Laughing and crying together—with unknown people—is an exercise in connection itself. Hopefully, more movies will be made with the intent to evoke feelings of communal harmony and togetherness," Rishaya expressed.
Spirited Away (2001)
Ratatouille (2007)
Vampires Suck (2010)
When we asked Rishaya about her favorite quote that she finds herself using over and over, she mentioned one from the Bollywood film Lagaan (2001), "Whatever it is, it's good".
Rishaya noted, "It's a highly quotable quote for me, though I don't think anyone realizes it's a quote! In the movie, when a British woman, Elizabeth, introduces herself to the Indian cricket players, they are unable to pronounce her name, and a guy says this line. I found the scene funny and the line very easy to use in daily life, so it must be my most quoted quote."
Loving Vincent (2017)
Before Sunrise (1995) × Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)
A Dog’s Purpose (2017)
Now I have to see this. Give me "the art of racing in the rain" feels. I also need to see the movie based on that book still.
We had some fun with Rishaya while concluding the interview, and asked her to use one quote to characterize 2024 and how it went for her. She mentioned a quote from another Bollywood movie, Om Shanti Om:
"Just like the movies, our life also turns out to be alright in the end, a 'Happy Ending'. And if it's not good, it's not the end, friends, there's still a part of the movie left to unfold!"
Personally, even I love this quote, for it definitely sounds like something to keep in mind when our lives turn hopelessly miserable.
The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Optimistic side: Birds born in a cage seeing birds outside think flying is freedom. :)
Moonlight (2016)

Now, I would like to end with my favorite quote by Dumbledore from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel, "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."
Breaking Bad (2008-2013)
Friends (1994-2004)
Tbh, adopting this perspective on anxiety and depression has become one of the most useful coping skills for me. If I can just just wait out the feelings, they'll eventually pass and everything usually turns out okay.
Central Station (1998)
On The Beach At Night Alone (2017)
La Casa De Papel (Money Heist) (2017-2021)
Such a stupid translation of the title. Imagine translating "Paper House" to "stealing shít".

Thanks to DennyS (denzoren) you have a bunch of them. You can also click on the small caption under the picture to get the answer.
Load More Replies...It occurs to me that I have not seen a movie in years. Didn't recognize most of these.
These are not great movie quotes. Some are from TV shows. The “ expert” has made some student films.
I agree. Most of these were really trite, or only moving in the context of the show, but not great for quoting.
Load More Replies...I like the line from The Red Violin "what do you do when the thing you always wanted, so perfect, just comes?" Underrated movie in my opinion
Not particularly impressed. I can think of dozens of quotes I found more impactful than most of these.
What happened to "Shut up, you had me at 'Hello'."? From Jerry Maguire.
This list was like a box o' chocolates. I didn't know what I was gonna get. (or which tasty favourites would be missing)
