What are some of the most recognizable movie quotes of all time? Before jumping into what the internet voted for, it’s important to note that Darth Vader’s breathing noises are the most recognizable sound and were nominated to make this list.
1. I’LL BE BACK
One user nominated in an Austrian voice “I’ll Be Back,” an expression Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered as The Terminator and in other films nodding at the famous line, such as Kindergarten Cop.
2. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
You don’t need to be a Star Wars nerd to know where the famous expression “May the Force Be With You” originated. The saying is so widely-known that every May 4th is officially Star Wars Day, and the internet memes up the phrase, “May the 4th Be With You.”
3. RUN, FORREST, RUN!
Another significant pop culture phrase that people still utter nearly 20 years after the film’s release is “Run, Forrest, Run!” That expression is from the movie Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks.
4. HAKUNA MATATA
“Hakuna Matata” from Disney‘s 1994 animated classic The Lion King is a well-known movie quote. “What a wonderful phrase. It means no worries. For the rest of your days.”
Did you read that in your favorite lovable green ogre Shrek’s voice? How about this one, “That’s a nice boulder,” “And in the morning, I’m makin’ waffles!” Shrek is a pop culture phenomenon that has produced dozens of movie quotes.
6. LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES
“Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get” is another Forrest Gump movie quote regurgitated to this day.
