For movie lovers, there are a few cinematic quotes that are always handy for breaking
the ice or amping up the drama of a casual chat. But many of the most commonly used movie phrases are almost always misrepresented in conversation
If you're one of those people who loves to whip out a famous movie line at an opportune
time, you might want to make sure you're actually quoting the films correctly
Here are some of the widely mistaken movie lines in Hollywood history
Mirror Mirror The world of animation changed the day Walt Disney and his studio released Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs. Certain aspects of this classic resonate with audiences to this day, such as the poison
apple, true love's kiss, and the eternal question, mirror mirror on the wall, who is
the fairest of them all? The problem is, no one actually says that in the film
What the evil queen actually asks is… Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all
Interestingly enough, in the Grimm Brothers' original story, the Queen says, "'Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all?
So hi-ho, hi-ho. Off to correct quoting you go. you must be grumpy A bigger boat Steven Spielberg pioneered the summer blockbuster in 1975 with Jaws his terrifying tale of
a great white serial killer. The eerie cello music, the poster, the characters, and the quotes, they all made Jaws the classic
movie it is today. The line that's most often cited from the movie comes from Chief Brody, who discovers
the deadly creature is much bigger than they're prepared for. Most people quote this famous line from the scene to say
we're gonna need a bigger boat. But what Brody really says there is, you're gonna need a bigger boat
It's just a one-word difference, but it's a toothy one even so
If You Build It Field of Dreams was both a fantasy film and a sports drama
and is often given tribute with the line, if you build it, they will come
But the truth of the matter is that the whispered voiceover never actually utters that phrase
And what's actually said instead is… "...if you build it, he will come.
It's not quite as compelling in singular format, so it's easy to see why people like to use
the they instead of he. But if you looking for something more inclusive to spout out you can always use this line instead will come Run you fools Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy was a groundbreaking adaptation of J
Tolkien's beloved novels and boasts an abundance of quotable moments in the movie. "'Potatoes!
The one that seems to be most often mistaken is from The Fellowship of the Rings
Gandalf lovers often like to say, "'Run, you fools.'" But in reality, what our old wizard pal actually says in the movie is
Fly me, you fools!" Why would he say that when none of his traveling companions had wings
Well, fly in Old English means to flee. Or maybe he's just foreshadowing the arrival of the Eagles in movie 3
Feel lucky, punk? No matter how many movies Clint Eastwood directs or stars in, his fans will always remember
him as the Man With No Name from the spaghetti western scene and Harry Callahan from the
Dirty Harry series. But as quotable as the latter character is, fans often butcher his biggest line
It's much easier to shorten the scene to state simply, do you feel lucky, punk, when the
time is right, but what he actually says is… You've got to ask yourself one question
Do I feel lucky? Well, do you, punk? Now that you know the proper dialogue you should feel lucky Play it again Casablanca is one of the most cherished films in American history and it known for being exceptionally quotable You can thank the movie for this epic goodbye line
"...he's looking at you, kid." and this go-to party toast. "...I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
And let's not forget this lover's lament. "...of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world
She walks into mine." But people tend to get it wrong when they quote the film to say, play it again, Sam
The misquote even became the title of Woody Allen's 1972 comedy film
But what Elsa actually says upon walking into the café is… "...play it once, Sam
For all time's sake, play it, Sam. Play as time goes by.
And when Rick wants to hear it again, well, this is what he really says. Hey, everybody makes mistakes
I am your father Star Wars is perhaps the biggest entertainment franchise in the world, and it doesn't seem
to be stopping anytime soon. Aside from all the lightsabers and galaxy-saving, the series contains a plethora of famous lines
