1. May the force be with you!
Heard for the first time in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 1999, the quote made it through as being the best representative of the movie.
2. Hasta La Vista, Baby!
If you’re into futuristic, robotic Sci-Fi, there is no way in earth the sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger saying „Hasta La Vista, Baby!” won’t wake up beautiful memories of rental tapes.
3. I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse
Leaving the Sci-Fi realm, we’re shifting focus towards one of Ford Coppola’s best movies: The Godfather. While the movie is a masterpiece of cinematography, it also pack valuable life lessons. Specific for the Mafia head, Don Corleone, the reply resonates everywhere.
4. Why so serious?
Yes, the Joker makes the list without a second thought. It has been said that Heath Ledger (the actor playing Joker in Batman movie) dedicated his heart and soul towards becoming as insane as possible, to fit the role. The result is mesmerizing.
5. Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t do something
Probably one of the most successful movies in showing that a dream needs to be fought for, Pursuit of Happyness reveals a hard life lesson. Will Smith aced the speech of what’s known as „The Basketball scene”.
6. It’s not about hard you hit, it’s about…
Rocky Balboa, the series that inspired me personally to keep moving forward. Within the 2006 edition, Sylvester Stallone has a dialogue with his in-movie son, providing a great description about life.
7. Say hello to my little friend!
We’ve been running through classics all the way, but Al Pacino starring in „Scarface” is something one should watch at least two times. Because you can’t really get to fully catch everything from the first try; there are just too many details. It all ends with Scarface’s little friend, the tommy gun.
8. English motherf***r!
Action, sarcasm, more action, comedy and a story to twist your head a little – that’s what Pulp Fiction is all about. Samuel L. Jackson rocks an afro haircut while John Travolta follows along brilliantly. The quote? Well, you know it very well.
9. I will find you, and I will kill you.
Starring Liam Neeson, the Taken series shows the dedication of an ex-spec ops father hurdling to save his daughter, his wife, and then himself from a gang of Eastern european drug dealers. The monologue on the phone is probably the most representative scene of the first movie.
10. I’m just getting warmed up
Al Pacino’s Oscar winning acting in the „Scent of a Woman” is without a doubt an incontestable prize. Also, the speech held near the end makes you stop doing anything else but listen and take notes.
