Movie Quotes

Everyone knows that the best part of an action movie is the one-liner. You know, the famous catch phrase that the hero utters before or after his big scene? That is unless you’re Arnold Schwarzenegger, then you get about ten memorable quotes per film. As any action adventure movie fan knows, not all one liners are created equal. For every “say hello to my little friend” you’ve got an eye rolling “stick around.” That’s why we’ve put together this list of famous catch phrases from action films, so you can vote on which is the best, and which bad one liner needs to get off our plane.The one thing that every action movie worth it’s salt has to have is an acerbic one-liner (and action we suppose). If you have to sit through a 90 minute feature film full of exploding helicopters and you don’t get to hear your oiled up hero say something like, “thar she blows,” or, “he should’ve took the train” then you’ve wasted an hour and a half. You’ll immediately recognize the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-movie-quotes-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous movie quotes</a> on this list, because even if you haven’t seen the film that the catch phrase is from, you’ve probably heard it repeated by your little brother or your very cool friends who just like to bro out and watch dudes <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-action-movies-on-netflix-where-stuff-blows-up/orrin-grey?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">blow stuff up</a>. Vote for which famous movie one liner deserves to sit atop catch phrase mountain, and which bad one liner we should do our best to forget. We’ve all got our favorites, so what’s yours?

While it&#39;s true that the MCU&#39;s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcu-villain-quotes/christian-cintron" target="_blank">villains often get the most memorable quotes</a>, the heroes and even sidekicks also get a few good quips in. However, the quotes that resonate with us the most, and&nbsp;tend to stay with us long after we&rsquo;ve left our cinema seats, are the lines spoken by a character just before they shuffle off this mortal coil.

Yet the last words of Marvel characters don&rsquo;t have to be lines spoken just before they perish for them&nbsp;to hit home. It can still have an emotional impact if we know this is the last time we&rsquo;re going to see that character on screen.

Whether awesome&nbsp;one-liners, words of love, or final expressions of hate or remorse, these are the most poignant or even just the saddest MCU last words from each phase of the franchise.

Star Wars

For being inspired by sci-fi serials, westerns, and samurai films,&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;can get pretty dense. Sure, at the end of the day the films are fun romps that take shape in the form of a space opera, but at its core, every line of dialogue serves a purpose, even if that reasoning doesn&#39;t make sense until 40 years after it is initially spoken. Because of this, a bunch of the more subtle lines in the series&nbsp;are overlooked and their deeper meaning will only hit you on repeat viewings.&nbsp;

This is a collection of seemingly throwaway lines from Star Wars&nbsp;that are a lot more significant than we thought. Vote up the lines that have the biggest impact the second time around!

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is chock full of eminently quotable characters, such as Thor&#39;s brother <a href="/list/best-loki-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Loki, the god of mischief</a>; and for his comparatively brief screentime, <a href="/list/best-thanos-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Thanos has a bunch of memorable quotes</a>. But not every line (be it scripted or <a href="/list/unscripted-improvised-marvel-scenes/pierce-nahigyan" target="_blank">improvised</a>) in the MCU enjoys the gravitas of a world-shattering villain. Some lines just make you chuckle because of an actor&#39;s distinctive timing, or the circumstances of the scene.

Because movies often blend history and drama, it&#39;s difficult to assess whether or not some of the most memorable movie lines are based in truth, or a case of writers adding stuff for dramatic effect. More often than you&#39;d suspect, many of the most biting quotes from movies can be attributed to actual individuals.

While <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-vicious-movie-insults/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">some of the best insults</a>, the most devious rejoinders, and the boldest fighting quotes from movies may take a&nbsp;bit of poetic license,&nbsp;they also offer up a whole lot of savage honesty.

What are the best Shaft 2019 quotes? This is your chance to decide. The Shaft franchise has been around for a long time. The original, starring Richard Roundtree, opened in 1971. It was followed by two sequels, Shaft&#39;s Big Score in 1972 and Shaft in Africa in 1973. In 2000, director John Singleton brought it back, casting Samuel L. Jackson as Shaft in a film also appropriately titled Shaft. The movie was a modest box office hit.&nbsp;

The 2019 Shaft is a direct sequel to both the &#39;71 and the &#39;00 installments. This time, John &quot;JJ&quot; Shaft Jr. (Jessie T. Usher) enlists the help of his father (Jackson) in getting to the bottom of his friend&#39;s death. The elder Shaft attempts to settle an old score in the process. Roundtree co-stars as Shaft Sr., which makes three generations of Shaft men. Regina Hall co-stars, too, as Maya Babanikos, Shaft&#39;s ex and JJ&#39;s mom. This new version is slightly different, in that it&#39;s as much a comedy as an action picture. There are plenty of funny lines and memorable Shaft quotes. It was directed by Tim Story, whose resume includes Barbershop and the Ride Along movies.

Vote up&nbsp;your favorite Shaft 2019&nbsp;quotes and one liners&nbsp;from the list below regardless of which character&nbsp;they come from.&nbsp;

Villains and Bad Guys

Some movie villains go over the top. Some go with silence. Others still are emotional wrecks. But for the majority, the most memorable&nbsp;movie villains are the truly cold-blooded ones. These are the antagonists who can make you quake in your boots without breaking eye contact. Something is broken in their brain that makes them truly evil people. You don&#39;t know what it is... you don&#39;t know how to define it. But it is always obvious when you see it.

The Departed&#39;s Frank Costello.&nbsp;The Third Man&#39;s Harry Lime.&nbsp;The Silence of the Lambs&#39;s Hannibal Lecter. Some of the most celebrated actors in the history of Hollywood filmmaking have earned their stripes in roles that let them play into pure evil. These are the kind of characters who would shoot their own mother and not lose a solitary moment of sleep that night.
