'Big Miracle' movie quotes include some of the best lines of dialogue from this 2012 film starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski.

If you spot your favorite 'Big Miracle' quote on this list, vote it up -- and if you don't see your fave listed, definitely add it!

The 'Big Miracle' true story really is amazing: In 1988, three California gray whales became trapped under miles of solid ice off the Alaskan coast near the remote town of Barrow. Over several weeks, incredible efforts were made to save the whales, and the effort, dubbed "Operation Breakthrough," was an international one. 'Big Miracle' also stars Kristen Bell as reporter Jill Jerard, Stephen Root as (fictional) Alaskan Governor Haskell, Dermot Mulroney as Colonel Scott Boyer.
