People shared the movie quotes they still use in real life because they are so damn good – 17 big screen lines that stood the test of time

Certain movie quotes are so amazing, so perfect, that they’re a shorthand for the film itself. Even if someone just says ‘I’ll be back’, you know they’re talking about The Terminator.

Then there are those lines which have seeped out of the cinema and become part of everyday conversation because even out of context they sound amazing. To get an idea of which lines people have clung to, AgreeableFace756 put this question to r/AskReddit:
