Anyone who's heard the movie quote "Are you not entertained?" without watching the film Gladiator will be completely missing the point of Maximus' words. The quote itself has been parodied in television, film, and even memes, but the scene is far from funny. The protagonist, Maximus, shows his impressive skills as a Gladiator but shares his disgust for the sport in this scene.

Maximus steps onto the battlefield, bowing to his enemies out of respect for the sacrifice they're forced to make, then proceeds to butcher all of them to roaring applause. Maximus shuts the audience down with his clear contempt for them all and when they quiet down, unsure how to react to his hatred, he screams the ironic quote, "Are you not entertained?!" The crowd quickly returns to their cheering soon after Maximus is done, proving that his words have fallen on deaf ears.

Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of The Godfather is widely considered to be one of the greatest films, and the quote "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" is equally praised. Those who haven't watched the movie can guess that the film is about a mobster and the quote is the mobster's threat, but they'd be missing the little details hidden in the dialogue and acting that makes this film so legendary.

Without taking away too much from the film, this quote, and many scenes in the film, are built up to be effective and memorable. Though the quote has been used on its own by both villains and comedians for decades, the impact of Marlon Brando's most famous line is lost but still a monumental part of cinema culture.

No line has made audience members cheer more than Clark Gable's quote "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" from Gone With the Wind. Though the film has its controversies, like any movie that's close to turning 100 years old, this quote is one of the most beloved parts of the film.

The quote itself has become an eloquent, and sometimes humorous, way of telling someone they don't care, which is fun to use in a multitude of situations. The empowerment that comes with the context of the film is why the quote is so famous. It's saying to someone abusive, regardless of gender, that the abused won't take it anymore.

After its premiere in the late 70s, the Star Wars franchise quickly blew up in pop culture along with its most famous phrase "May the force be with you." This movie quote has become one of the most well-known movie quotes thanks to Star Wars' popularity and how frequently the line is used throughout all the films, television series, books, and video games.

Cuba Gooding Jr blew audiences away when he acted in the film Jerry Maguire, his most famous scene being when he says "Show me the money." There's no hidden meaning in this quote.

What stuck with audiences and why the quote spread around so much was how hilarious this scene is. Watching Cruise scream at the top of his lungs "Show me the money" and "I love Black people" at Gooding's demand still has viewers crying with laughter to this day. Plus, the quote is pretty darn fun to say on its own.

3 Lord Of The Rings: "My Precious"

Lord of the Rings: How Long Did Gollum Have the Ring (& Where Did He Find It)?

Fans of Lord of the Rings have taken the film's lessons of friendship, hope, and brilliant filmmaking with them throughout their lives, while everyone else in the world can only remember Gollum's obsession with saying "My precious." This is a simple quote, to the point, and fun to parody. There's also something to be said about Gollum's character and why he stands out in the film.

Aside from being unique in his unsightly appearance, Gollum stands out as a foil character to the hero Frodo and simultaneously is foreshadowing what will become of Frodo should he give into the ring's corruption. This makes Gollum an unexpected central character as he was introduced midway through the trilogy and his short quote becomes the embodiment of his entire character.

Although it's a longer quote, it's become one of the most famous and frequently used thanks to its simple poetry and how inspirational the message is. The fact that an underdog character like Forest uses the quote with such earnest intent also makes the quote special.
