Movies stay with us. Whether you like comedies, dramas, historical epics, or musicals, films tend to leave behind moments that live rent-free in our heads long after the credits roll — for both good and bad reasons. One sign that something has truly stuck in our memory is the extent to which it spreads on the internet.
The Instagram account @funniestmoviememes23 captures all of those iconic scenes, characters, and lines from people’s favorite productions, and if you aren’t familiar with everything referenced here, maybe it’s about time you expand your watchlist.

You mean Mikey didn't best the fratteli family and find one eyed w*****s ship to be remembered as a gardener visiting a mountain
I paid for a Cameo from Sean Astin for my husband's birthday. It is glorious! He weighed in our discussion on Samwise vs. Rudy as his more defining role. He told us that "Rudy was the Samwise of football"...and agreed with us that Bob (Stranger Things) deserved better. Best gift I ever gave my husband! The video sent to us was about three minutes long and very cool that he joined our discussion :)
I wear glasses. But films have lead people to think that when I take them off extravagantly, it's all s*xy and stuff. Personally I have no idea, but it is a superpower only people with glasses have.
Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, and David Corenswet all have that superpower.
Load More Replies...Usually if I take my glasses off (or my contacts out) its really just an hour of my kids asking "can you see this" or "how many fingers am I holding up" and I'm just stumbling around yelling for my husband to make sure I don't brush my teeth with hemorrhoid cream
A poll of 2,000 Americans conducted by Talker Research found that, on average, they believe they’ve watched their favorite movie 38 times, with Millennials leading the pack at an estimated 50 times, followed closely by Gen Z at 49 times.
Forrest Gump has been named the all-time favorite movie most often (17%), ahead of The Wizard of Oz (15%) and Titanic (15%).
The 1994 animated, coming-of-age story The Lion King (15%) ranked fourth, and the classic romantic drama Dirty Dancing (15%) rounded out the top five.
Harrelson seems like a genuinely decent guy, almost like he's trying to make up for that other Woody in Hollywood - and no I don't mean the one from toy story..
He spread anti-vax conspiracy theories during covid.

Load More Replies...I memorized my ICQ number by singing it to the tune of this song until I remembered it. I too feel old XD
Load More Replies...Okay. I'll bite. Does 5309 have a significance, or is it just funny for being random?
It's an old song. Go to YouTube and search 8675309 or click the direct link in my reply to this.
Load More Replies...However, different generations are into different movies. For example, Shrek is a staple for Gen Z, along with Toy Story (25%) and the newer, now-classic Avengers: Endgame (24%).
Despite premiering before they were even born, the Jurassic Park series was also found to be popular with youngsters (16%).
They also like the Harry Potter series (15%), though it’s slightly more appreciated among Millennials (16%).
I know im not the only one that heard that in his voice lol, we all did
Very concerned about global warming the bear lobby.
Load More Replies...According to the survey, a little more than one-third of Gen Z (34%) believe the soundtrack can make or break a movie.
Almost three in five (56%) even admit that their all-time favorite movie could be categorized as a guilty pleasure.
Oil comes from marine microorganisms. Coal comes from plants. Dinosaurs don't have much to do with either.
If a Stegosaurus can live about 85 mio. years to meet a T-Rex he also could survive the last 66 mio years until now with no problem
I love my video games, but Halo was not that great. It was good enough. But it did get console gamers into shooters. Doom, Quake and Half-Life were all subjectively better, and all revolutionary. Halo just made it work on a controller.
Halo was more than just the shooting, though. It was the use of storytelling(direct and environmental) and music that made it stand out.

I feel your pain. Mr Auntriarch said it was too big for our kitchen
Load More Replies...I have something similar, but it has holes in the back for pens/pencils.
And the same people who designed everything without safety rails. I loved when they pointed that out in The Mandolorian
Load More Replies...Probably the same genius that placed the shield generator for the hangar on the outside at the CIS ship at the start of Episode 3
OMG!! I had never put that together. Touche Qui Gonn, Touche. That is why you are a master and I still a padawan. I failed my trials lol
Millennials also believe they can recite almost half of their favorite movies by heart (48%), compared to Baby Boomers, who average about 23%.
This may be because a little more than a third of Millennials rewatch their favorite movie either daily (12%), a few times per week (12%), or once per week (11%), while a fifth (19%) of Baby Boomers only indulge every few months.
Taking things a step further, the average American believes they could watch their favorite movie three times in a row without getting sick of it, with Gen Z averaging five times.
Exactly. Slow and low roast rib is cooked properly, this is how it looks
Load More Replies...Looks really good! Throw the steak back on a really hot grill for about three minutes and dig in.
It's prime rib. It's supposed to be that color. It's perfectly prepared. Putting it on the grill is treating it like a sirloin
Load More Replies...THIS is a perfectly done prime rib! (I like my regular ribeyes and mignons mooing too so...)
Colloquialism, Matt. It's just a colloquialism.

They're just relieved when the sword isn't making irrefutable points or cutting comments. Swords, however, are lousy at golf due to an incurable slice.
Load More Replies...SPOILER ALERT. When it comes to specific movie moments, a poll of 2,000 UK adults found that the most emotional scenes of all time are considered to be:
- Titanic (1997) – “I’ll never let go, Jack”: Rose clings to Jack in their freezing final moments in the Atlantic (67%).
- The Lion King (1994) – Mufasa’s Passing: Simba pleads with his father to wake up after the stampede — pure heartbreak for generations (59%).
- The Green Mile (1999) – John Coffey’s Execution: “I’m tired, boss…” — a gentle giant’s final moments leave everyone reeling (39%).
- Forrest Gump (1994) – Forrest at Jenny’s Grave: Forrest shares his love and pride with Jenny, pouring his heart out in a quiet, devastating moment (36%).
- Schindler’s List (1993) – “I could have done more”: Schindler breaks down with guilt, mourning the lives he couldn’t save despite saving hundreds (35%).
Weed is sometimes called Mary Jane. Most people assume Shaggy is a pothead who always has the munchies.
Load More Replies...It's because the highschool has initially agreed to let them film the movie there, but then backed out at the last second causing chaos
Yeah, this is what happens when you s***w over creatives. My horrible ex boss is now a villain in one of my novels.
It's such ridiculous BULLSHІT they're censoring SCRЕW. Like, a fսcking SCRЕW you can get at every fսcking HARDWARE STORE. Good job, BP censors, real fսcking good job.

Load More Replies...Interestingly, the survey also found that almost half (47%) of Brits watch more than five hours of movies on their phone every week, with over a quarter (26%) admitting to streaming at work. I guess scrolling memes doesn’t even count after that!
I don't want this to sound weird, but I want a Wookie with a life debt too. I don't know if I could get them enough exercise in my flat though. On top of that, they don't exist, so that's a bit of a problem.
I think you might be the only one who considered it a kink, in any sense. To each, their own, my friend ;D
Load More Replies...We were going to do a fundraiser for school and our English teacher had gotten permission for us to do it at her church, so she is describing where in town the church is.. and one of my classmates loudly says, Oh! You mean the Dolly Pardon church?! Because it had 2 large shaped domes 😂. Teacher was slightly mortified - please don't call it that she said 😂. I will never be able to drive by it without thinking of this.
In my town we have the K-Mart church, because it is behind where the K-Mart used to be.
Load More Replies...Ah, I remember this place: the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. It's only about a 45-minute drive south from where I live XD I used to see it every time I'd drive down to San Diego. It was closed down in 2013 and is in the process of being decommissioned. I always said they should remove all the nuclear bits but leave "Southern California's Most Famous B00bs" intact XD (They were not intentionally made to look like ta-tas - a sphere is actually a very structurally strong shape, and the ventilation shafts had to be put directly on top because, well, hot air rises.)
My Dad belonged to the San Onofre surf club. I remember when the plant was being built. At low tide, we would sometimes hike past the it to get to south beach.
Load More Replies...I like the fact they are introducing to the new series a character that was born biologically a wizard but identifies as a witch.
Nah malfoy would be snape and harry dumbledore! Ron could be Filtch haha his prance run is hilarious. We need Ginny, Longbottom, Luna too!
Where in the 'water fight rules' did it say the water had to be a certain temp? Frozen water bombs are totally legit.

I asked Google for the chemical formula of sodium hypobromite and it said "NaBro"
NaBrO. The capitalization is very important; without it, it doesn't even look like a chemical formula.

Load More Replies...For people who don't understand: The age statement is in reference to Flynn and Rapunzel in Tangled. This brings up the much larger age gap between Milo and Kida in Atlantis.
The Beast is 21, and it seems commonly accepted that Belle is about 17, though I always thought she was closer to maybe 19, like about to go to college age.
Load More Replies...It's possible she'd previously read the books and then when watching the movies that thought clicked with her
Load More Replies...Hmm - you could try searching for "Yasuke". Wikipedia says "According to historical accounts, Yasuke first arrived in Japan in the service of Italian Jesuit Alessandro Valignano. Nobunaga summoned him out of a desire to see a black man. Subsequently, Nobunaga took him into his service and gave him the name Yasuke. As a samurai, he was granted a sword, a house, and a stipend"
And the presence of ONE black man proves what exactly?
Load More Replies...I'd just pat him on the head and tell him to move along...
Load More Replies...The movie theaters actually check you for snacks where you're at? My friend once brought an entire ice cream cake into the theater.
For how many people? There's a lot of pressure to finish that before it melts. No time clock ticking away on Milk Duds or Snow Caps.
Load More Replies...The movie theatres in my region don't give a s♥♥♥ about bringing your own snacks
I have never once been checked for snacks at the movies, even the specific Hoyts my friend said 'they always check here'. We always take cans of drink, lollies and chips in. It wasn't until my sister got older and spent her own money that we started buying popcorn at the cinema, although we always got a choc top ice cream when we went to The Astor in Melbourne, which showed double features so we bought them at intermission.
My tactic: wear a bulky hoodie and put the snacks / alcohol / whatever in the hood. Me and my friends saved a lot of money going clubbing / to the cinema, when we were youngsters 😄
I could totally see this...does anyone remember SLC Punk! a couple nights ago i was looking for a cookbook i stashed when I moved and found it along with some other DVDs I forgot I held on to..great soundtrack
YES! People always think he's just goofy, but that movie! My lord! I swear only like five people have heard of it.

I don't know about a spooky island theme park, but Jeffrey Epstein created a horror island.
Nah, the title's: "Oppenheimer 2: security clearance hearing" Delete the "2" and search online. "The hearing resulted in Oppenheimer's Q clearance being revoked. This marked the end of his formal relationship with the Eisenhower government and generated considerable controversy regarding whether the treatment of Oppenheimer was fair, or whether it was an expression of anti-communist McCarthyism. "
Load More Replies...Shades of when Joss Weedon was asked for Cabin In The Woods 2. Um, that movie ended with the entire world being destroyed so...?
Never say never. The TV show Sledge Hammer ended the first season by having the city and all the characters destroyed in a nuclear explosion. There was a second season.
Load More Replies...Had to check out the reviews. They are not kind.. :-)
Load More Replies...Oh! You mean the story of how Edward Teller accused him of being a communist and how that led to him being all but destroyed by the McCarthy witch hunt?
Oh, you dirty bird! XD (Stephen King is my favorite author, and while some of the older movie adaptations of his books are awful, Misery was quite good, IMO!)

I would say Princess Kate is already brilliant. And William has more class than to make that kind of comment.
Load More Replies...Except - in A Clockwork Orange, it was moloko plus. From the book:.it “would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.” From on-line: "There are three types of Moloko plus served within the Milk Bar; vellocet (mixed with most likely amphetamines), synthemesc (mixed with synthetic mescaline) and drencrom (mixed with adrenochrome and possibly unnamed hallucinogens). It can be served to minors because of its lack of alcohol."
What about the little kid in "Cop and a Half"..im not sure he was evil but who knows?

Load More Replies...I don't know which movie that's from tbh, but I feel like the absurdity was the joke. I'm not saying it was a good joke.
Because there will be a top tier artistic master confectioner trained in the district where people have to hunt down squirrels to not starve
I saw this in the cinema and everyone started laughing at how freaking ridiculous he looked.
Should I be the one saying it? That is representation taken a little too far.
Yeah I usually don't give a rat's äss about gender or ethnicity swaps (f.e. the outrage over Halle Bailey as Ariel was absurd), but they could've just introduced new characters and have them be portrayed by non-white actors, plus given the few who were already there more room. Alan Rickman as Snape is iconic and basically irreplaceable (Hugh Laurie might've been a good choice IMHO) and this is just a heavy handed decision. Generally, this feels just as much like a cynical, nostalgia milking cash grab as the live action disney movies do.
Load More Replies...God this tv series is going to be an embarrassing debacle, and no I'm not basing that on the "Snape is black now" thing. I'm basing it on a whole number of red flags and idiotic casting in general.
Somewhat off topic, but am i the only one who thinks the young lad who played the 1969 version kinda looks like Sigourney Weaver, at least in that shot?
From Jenna Ortega, to Ezra Miller, to Alan Rickman, to random guy who is the Cynthia Erivo of the Potterverse.

that movie was soooo bad. I hate how netflix uses real situations and markets their movies as "true story" only to change so much.
Boston's in Lincolnshire - no hills like that anywhere near the place. Don't talk to me about its recently-founded namesake over the pond. 😉
That's not even Massachusetts, never mind 10 miles west of either Boston proper or the Greater Boston Area.
Me wondering why Stranger Things lasted 5 seasons instead of 2 and I was lied to about how good it is.
Off topic, but why does Jared Leto still get roles? He's a known s*x pest, especially to younger people of every gender. The films he's in b*mb, he can't act very well except for one role he was in 20yrs ago, his band is sh*t and he's a cult leader psychopath, and very likely a paedo. Stop giving him money, Hollywood.
