When The Fellowship of the Ring hit the big screen in 2001, it launched more than just a trilogy — it launched a timeless epic. Following its Oscar win for best picture, the first film in Peter Jackson’s Tolkien trilogy is an epic introduction to the director’s take on the author’s beloved saga, as we are plunged into the world of Middle-earth, where friendship, fate and one very cursed ring do battle.

Beyond the general fantasy, Fellowship is full of heart — and dialogue that sticks with you long after the credits have rolled. From Gandalf’s wisdom to Boromir’s tragic last moments, these Fellowship of the Ring quotes are still popular throughout the entire fandom.

These are the best lines from the movie that kicked it all off.

1. Gandalf: “A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”
2. Frodo: “I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
3. Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
4. Boromir: “One does not simply walk into Mordor.”
5. Aragorn: “If by my life or death I can protect you, I will.”
6. Legolas: “You would die before your stroke fell!”
7. Gimli: “Nobody tosses a dwarf!”
8. Aragorn: “You have my sword.”
9. Legolas: “And you have my bow.”
10. Gimli: “And my axe.”
11. Gandalf: “Fly, you fools!”
12. Aragorn: “I would have followed you, my brother… my captain… my king.”
13. Galadriel: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
14. Boromir: “I tried to take the ring from him.”
15. Frodo: “I will take the Ring to Mordor! Though… I do not know the way.”
16. Sam: “I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise! ‘Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to.”

In The Fellowship of the Ring, we received not just an epic journey, but quotes that spoke to fear and hope and loyalty and the courage to keep going. These Lord of the Rings quotes endure because they are true — in a world of elves, hobbits, and ancient evils, yes, but true.

Looking for Gandalf quotes, moments that encapsulate Frodo’s journey, or a reminder of what made the Fellowship compelling? This list has them all.

Some movies are quotable. Pulp Fiction is a movie that can be almost infinitely quoted. “Every scene, every line, every little idiosyncratic turn of dialogue feels like it was written with an eye toward being quoted or getting tattooed on some mish-mash version of someone’s already pretty beat-up soul,” Emily Nussbaum wrote in The New Yorker. Released in 1994 and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the film sent indie cinema into a tailspin and gave us characters who don’t sound like anyone else, yet somehow make perfect sense.

Whether that’s Jules spitting Bible verses, Vincent ranting about burgers or Mia Wallace casually chattering about foot massages, Pulp Fiction quotes just hit different. They’re sharp, odd, strangely deep — and full of rewatching potential.

If you want the most iconic Pulp Fiction quotes, here are just the quotes that made the film impossible to forget.

1. Jules Winnfield: “Say ‘what’ again. I dare you, I double dare you motherf***er!”
2. Vincent Vega: “You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?”
3. Jules Winnfield: “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish…”
4. Mia Wallace: “Don’t you hate that? Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it’s necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?”
5. Butch: “Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.”
6. Jules Winnfield: “I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd.”
7. Vincent Vega: “That’s a pretty fing good milkshake. I don’t know if it’s worth five dollars, but it’s pretty fing good.”
8. The Wolf: “I solve problems.”
9. Lance: “You’re gonna give her an adrenalin shot in the heart? Are you f***ing serious?”
10. Jules Winnfield: “Do you read the Bible, Brett?”
11. Honey Bunny: “Any of you fing pricks move, and I’ll execute every motherfing last one of you!”
12. Marsellus Wallace: “I’m gonna get medieval on your ass.”
13. Jules Winnfield: “I just shot Marvin in the face.”
14. Vincent Vega: “That’s pride fin’ with you. F pride! Pride only hurts, it never helps.”
15. Captain Koons: “This watch was on your daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi.”
16. Jules Winnfield: “I’m the foot-f***in’ master.”

Tarantino didn’t just put together Pulp Fiction, he weaponized dialogue. These Pulp Fiction quotes go beyond the dialogue to give you that More or less, Pulp Fiction quotes sayings These Pulp Fiction quotes are not just for laughs and coolness. They carry energy. They defy all of the rules, and yet it somehow feels like that’s the purpose. From chit-chat to spiritual monologues, the lines in this movie made going to the movies feel risky again.

So whether you came for the Jules Winnfield quotes, the Tarantino dialogue, or just a dose of ‘90s movie magic, this list has you covered.

Some movies are meant to be entertaining. And then there are the films that haunt. And “Schindler’s List” is the second type. As directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1993, it was not only one of the most powerful Holocaust films ever made — it was one of the most significant works of cinema, full stop.

Based on the real-life Holocaust hero Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who rescued more than a thousand Jewish people during the Holocaust, the movie is unflinching, raw and emotionally devastating. And the dialogue? It cuts deep. These Schindler’s List quotes aren’t the type you repeat — they have a way of lingering with you. Because words count, every one of them.

1. Oskar Schindler: “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”
2. Itzhak Stern: “This list is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.”
3. Oskar Schindler: “Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don’t.”
4. Amon Goeth: “Today is history. Today will be remembered.”
5. Oskar Schindler: “I could have got more out… I could have got more… if I just…”
6. Itzhak Stern: “There will be generations because of what you did.”
7. Oskar Schindler: “This pin… two people. This is gold. Two more people.”
8. Amon Goeth: “They cast a spell on you, you Jews. It’s a trick — the successful ones make us believe we need them.”
9. Itzhak Stern: “You’re giving them hope. You shouldn’t do that. That’s cruel.”
10. Oskar Schindler: “War brings out the worst in people. Never the good, always the bad.”
11. Amon Goeth: “I pardon you.”
12. Itzhak Stern: “I know you’ve received a lot, sir. But the thing you’ll never get back is the time.”
13. Rabbi: “This is Hebrew. It says: ‘Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.’”
14. Closing text on screen: “There are fewer than 4,000 Jews left alive in Poland today. There are more than 6,000 descendants of the Schindler Jews.”

Schindler’s List drives its drama above all by not resorting to dramatic music or flashy visuals. It hits you with quiet, with looks, with sentences suspended uncomfortably in the air. These quotes aren’t just memorable movie lines — they’re brutal truths. They remind us of what can happen when humanity loses its conscience.

— May 2, 2019 If you’re putting together a list of the most powerful Holocaust film quotes or if you’re simply reflecting on the most emotionally impactful lines in film history, here are the ones that matter.

Next: want quotes from Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers or something completely different along the lines of Inception or Gladiator? Let me know.

A 1957 release, sited almost entirely in a single room, 12 Angry Men is still one of the most compelling courtroom films ever made. Directed by Sidney Lumet film follows 12 jurors that must decide the fate of a boy accused of murder, a boy whose life depends on their verdict. What begins as a slam-dunk case becomes anything but, revealing the prejudices, tempers and unexpected humanity within each man.

If you’re looking for the best 12 Angry Men quotes, then you have come to the right place- the kind of truths that provoke a second take on your whole perspective on justice, doubt, and human nature. These lines show you need neither flashy effects nor a huge cast to generate indelible tension — simply razor-sharp writing, palpable characters and voices that refuse to be silenced.

1. Juror #8: “It’s not easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.”
2. Juror #3: “You’re talking about a matter of seconds! Nobody can be that accurate!”
3. Juror #9: “It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone, even if you believe in something very strongly.”
4. Juror #10: “You know how these people lie. It’s born in them.”
5. Juror #8: “We’re talking about somebody’s life here. We can’t decide in five minutes. Supposing we’re wrong?”
6. Juror #11: “I have always thought that in this country a man was entitled to have unpopular opinions…”
7. Juror #7: “This is the hottest day of the year. You can’t expect anybody to keep their tempers in this kind of heat.”
8. Juror #3: “He’s got to burn! He’s slipping through our fingers!”
9. Juror #4: “I don’t see any need for arguing like this. I think we ought to be able to behave like gentlemen.”
10. Juror #8: “We’re not convinced. We want to hear them again. We have a reasonable doubt, and this is not a personal thing.”
11. Juror #5: “I’ve lived in a slum all my life. I played in backyards that were filled with garbage. Maybe you can still smell it on me.”
12. Juror #9: “He said it and he meant it. But I think he’s a very confused old man.”

Some of these sequels attempt to rekindle the magic. The Godfather Part II constructs a goddamned empire on it. Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 sequel to The Godfather surpassed the original—some would argue it was even better. This time around, the film divides its attention between two Corleones: the young upstart Vito (perfectly embodied by Robert De Niro) and his son Michael (Al Pacino), now firmly ensconced in the role of family patriarch. It’s also darker, colder, more tragic. And, once again, it’s crammed full of quotes that hurt — that have been rent-free in the heads of fans, detractors and mob-movie completists ever since. It can also be watched on streaming platforms like 123 movies.

If you’re after some of the Godfather Part II quotes you can’t forget, the ones that really hit on betrayal, power, loyalty and quiet heartbreak, then these are the lines that say it all.

1. Michael Corleone: Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
2. Frank Pentangeli: Your father did business with Hyman Roth, your father respected Hyman Roth… but your father never trusted Hyman Roth!
3. Michael Corleone: If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.
4. Hyman Roth: This is the business we’ve chosen.
5. Young Vito Corleone: I make him an offer he don’t refuse.
6. Michael Corleone: I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart.
7. Tom Hagen: Mike, why am I out?
8. Michael Corleone: You’re not a wartime consigliere, Tom. Things may get rough with the move we’re trying.
9. Michael Corleone: I don’t feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies.
10. Senator Geary: I despise your masquerade, the dishonest way you pose yourself.
11. Fredo Corleone: I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!
12. Michael Corleone: You’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend.
13. Young Vito Corleone: There was no other way, son.
14. Michael Corleone: All my life I kept trying to go up in society — where it’s legal — and I did it for my family.
15. Tom Hagen: When a plot against the Emperor failed… the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes.
16. Michael Corleone: I don’t apologize — to take care of my family — and I refused to be a fool dancing on the strings held by all those big shots.

When The Dark Knight dropped in 2008, it wasn’t just another superhero movie. It changed everything we thought we knew about what comic book movies could be — grim, smart, morally complicated, truly haunting. Directed by Christopher Nolan and anchored by Heath Ledger’s stunning work as the Joker, The Dark Knight supplied more than just explosions and cronies for the Batmobile. It gave us lines. The heavy, memorable and sometimes jarring lines that remain widely quoted everywhere from TikTok edits to graduation speeches (seriously).

If you’re looking for the best quotes from the Dark Knight, then this is what you need.

The Shawshank Redemption was not an overnight hit, but its reputation gradually snowballed after its release, and it eventually became one of the most cherished films of all time—and deservedly so. The 1994 film, directed by Frank Darabont and based on a Stephen King novella, tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who was wrongly convicted of murder, and his friendship with the long-serving Red, in prison. It is heavy, hopeful and chock full of quotes that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Here are some of the most memorable lines from The Shawshank Redemption.

1. Red: Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
2. Andy: Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
3. Red: I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged.
4. Andy: I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
5. Warden Norton: Salvation lies within.
6. Red: These walls are funny. First you hate ’em, then you get used to ’em.
7. Andy: That’s it! Step aside, this fucker’s havin’ hisself an idea.
8. Brooks: The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.
9. Red: Forty years I been asking permission to piss. I can’t squeeze a drop without say-so.
10. Andy: I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.
11. Red: There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret.
12. Andy: I understand you’re a man who knows how to get things.
13. Tommy: That’s it! That’s the guy! That’s him!
14. Red: I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

Based on Stephen King’s 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 film adaptation directed by Frank Darabont. It includes some beautiful scenes with amazing stills that help this film stand as a classic since its release. Darabont’s work often delves into tales of confinement and resilience, and here he teams up with cinematographer Roger Deakins, whose keen eye for shadow and subtle texture elevates the prison walls into characters of their own. The film stars Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne, a mild-mannered banker wrongfully sentenced to life, and Morgan Freeman as Ellis “Red” Redding, the prison’s indispensable fixer and narrator.

When Andy (Robbins) arrives at Shawshank State Penitentiary, his quiet intelligence and refined manners mark him as an outsider among the hardened convict population. He forges an unlikely friendship with Red (Freeman), who can procure almost anything behind bars. Over the course of two decades, Andy transforms the bleak gray of Shawshank into a place of small miracles—library renovations, tax advice to corrupt guards, and the famous rooftop tarring scene where he plays Mozart for everyone to hear. Through these acts, he redefines what freedom can mean even in a caged world. And though hope seems a fragile thing, Darabont shows how it endures.

Deakins often lingers on Andy’s contemplative gaze as he chisels away at his rock wall, or frames Red’s weathered face against the slats of prison bars. Light spills in dusty beams through high windows, illuminating motes that dance like lost souls; sometimes these shafts of illumination signal a moment of grace, other times they mock the characters’ confinement. Color here is muted, earthy browns and a dull institutional green, but punctuated by the vivid red of a cloistered poster, the surprising turquoise of a Rita Hayworth movie, and the brilliant white of an eye-opening letter from the state senate. It’s a great film that can be streamed on platforms like 123 movies.
