Memorable Movie Lines

  

       What they were saying in the movies: There aren’t many days that go by when someone doesn’t use a famous line from a movie during a conversation. They stick with us because they make us laugh, make a great point, are delivered so perfectly or mean something to us personally. Here are just some (I know I have missed many) of the great lines that I’ll always remember.
