30 Quotes From Movies That Are So Memorable And Powerful That This Facebook Page Had To Share Them
At the beginnings of cinematography, there was minimal text in movies, which took the form of cards between shots. It is more usual now for the movie to have conversations throughout its whole duration and sometimes what the characters say really sticks with us and makes us reflect on ourselves, or it's so funny that we can’t stop repeating it in real-life situations.
There is a Facebook page that collects these movie quotes that are meaningful or relatable called The Best Movie Lines. Nearly 2 million people follow this page, so we picked some of their favorite ones for you to enjoy.

The Princess Bride (1987)

"Its quotes". "It's quotes" means "it is quotes".

Sometimes what's being sold is contentment. Not happiness, you can't buy happiness. But things that make the pain worth it. Having people you love in your life is painful, because when they hurt, you hurt. Living to make the world a better place is painful because you're more aware of the inequalities and hurt that goes on daily. Saving lives is painful because you can't save everyone. Those pains, and so many others from building muscle to learning a new skill to caring for another being - I think they're worth it

Whenever I'm really depressed I remind myself of this quote and the Grandpa's quote " Who says life is fair?"
Jason Marin 3 years ago
One thing about the movie confused me. Why did Westley say Buttercup was lying when she said that she "loved more deeply then a killer like yourself could ever dream."? Buttercup did love Westley very much and didn't love Humperdinck at all so how is that a lie?
Miriam L 3 years ago
Because at the time, he has no idea that she's not willingly marrying Humperdinck or that she mourned Westley for years. He thinks that she's forgotten him, or can't possibly care as much about anyone as he cares about her. So she wasn't lying, but Westley thinks she is and doesn't get proof of the truth until Buttercup finds out who she is and literally falls off a mountain for him.

Confession - I've actually never seen this film. But I've seen so many quotes / memes & scenes from it that i think i know at least 90% of the dialogue.
The Facebook page was created in 2012 and 10 years later, it has accumulated an audience of almost 2 million people. The page shares screenshots of movies with the movie quote in the subtitles, movie memes and short videos of the most memorable movie scenes.
The movies range from serious dramas to anime and there are some quotes from TV series as well. In the comments, people like to share their own favorite lines from a movie in a post and they like to discuss the topic of the quote.

Nothing wrong with staying put when you're lost, how else are people supposed to find you? People think they'll find themselves somewhere they've never been, but all they're doing is changing who they are and confusing that for who they've always been. You can't "find" yourself. May as well try to lick your own elbow. What do you have to prove?
Movies are often a great subject for discussion because they give us material to reflect on our own lives and our relationships with others. Similarly to books, movies offer an escape from reality and provide us with experiences that maybe we wouldn’t get in real life, but for many people, it is more enjoyable than books as it is in an image form.
While it is a hobby and a nice relaxing way to spend the evening, there are even more hidden reasons why people like watching movies besides the entertainment part. Associate Professor of Psychology at Columbia College Chicago Rami Gabriel, Ph.D explains that this activity is what makes us part of a society: “Over the last 80 years, cinema has become a reliable, effective medium for telling stories. In other words, cinema is a preeminent mode for the generation of participation in the myths of our times. The emotional intensity of the ritual, of contact with mythology, is what draws belief, salience, and importance into the encounter.”

While movies are definitely enjoyable, they are quite beneficial as well. ABC Everyday points out that movies help us learn and shape the way we view our world. Films might be so impactful that they can cause people to take action to change some societal norms that are wrong. One of the examples Weforum gives is the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow, which raised awareness on climate change, as a Yale University study showed.
Movies often show the difficult choices people have to make or tragic events they experience, so they become a sort of therapy, because people who have experienced trauma can relate to the character and be inspired to push through. And even though films often touch us on a personal level, it is also an art form, so by watching it, you are participating in a cultural phenomena and appreciating the way the film was put together.

This! No offense, old timers, but I have always firmly believed that respect is ALWAYS earned, NEVER given. Thing is, it's not hard. Just be nice, do your best, and practice patience. No one's perfect, but we are all capable of being the best versions of ourselves and learn along the way.

Respect for the elderly fosters moral fiber in the rest of a society. Caring for the aged and week, understanding we all get old and need help, allowing ourselves to grow old with dignity instead of plastic surgery. Less crime against the elderly and those in poor economic and other situations (homeless, hungry, vulnerable).

Jason Marin 3 years ago
Every time I hear somebody saying, "You need to learn to treat your elders with respect.", I find myself fighting the urge to say to that person, "Well, if you want respect, then you have to earn it. Respect is not something you think should immediately be given to you just because your older then somebody else."

So someone who has long since earned the respect of his peers and many others as he travels through life. Suddenly has to start again just because a newcomer appears? Some people might just think, "sod the newcomer, I just can't be bothered with his like anymore."

Isn't being nice, being polite, following rules, not lying, using etiquette being respectful? I'm not saying that anyone should bend over backwards for someone that is a jerk just because they have a special title or attribute, but a few kind words can take you a long way even with jerks because occasionally a jerk was just our first bad impression of an otherwise nice person having a bad day. Sometimes it's just selfishly easier to be polite rather than confrontational. Again, I'm not saying we need to hurt ourselves or enable bad behavior but sometimes its just easier/faster to give a modicum of respect to get what you need from someone. (I think, "Who knows, maybe they got the wrong impression of me, maybe I can warm their steely heart." HA!) Being polite to strangers and acquaintances, to listen, or help with even minor things every once in a while can make a big difference.

Not all movies have the same artistic value or are as impactful as others, so some might be less enjoyable to watch and you may not experience the same benefits. Therefore, you want to choose the best one so as not to feel like you’ve wasted your time after.
People on the IMDb forum gave a couple of tips on how to do that. They suggest watching the trailer, checking how it is rated on IMDb, reading some reviews, or asking your friends for recommendations. Look up who was the director of a movie you really liked and watch their other works, or if you know an actor and know they get roles in quality movies, look up which other movies they had a role in.
Or you could read through this list and if a phrase really resonated with you, chances are, the movie will not disappoint either. Let us know if you've watched any of these movies and if you liked them as much as the quote. Also, we would like to know what your favorite movie lines are, so leave them in the comments!

That's actually the opposite of love. I've never understood why people think love is pain. It's not, that's the opposite of love. Love is caring, kind, patient, understanding, compromising, gentle, and thoughtful. It is hate that is pain, unkind, rough, impatient, ignorant, and unthoughtful. If you are experiencing any of those things with someone, that is not love at all. That is the exact opposite of it, which is hate.

I've been saying this, or something similar to it, for years and people often take it as a depressing thing. I love that I'm essentially a mythical creature in some of my friends' lives, where even their significant others are unlikely to meet me. If I died right now and no one remembered me, that'd be okay. I lived.
