Do movie catchphrases no longer enter the popular venacular?

[Akrazotile]

Just one of those relatively meaningless but randomly interesting indicators that eras are changing.

Seems like there are no more "I'll be back's" or "You cant handle the truth's" or "Alrighty then's."

I guess because everyone used to see movies when they first came out. Now people see them for the first time over a much wider spectrum of time, so theres not really enough condensed exposure for them to catch on in pop culture.


Or am I missing some? Are there any classic movie quotes from the last 5-10 years that would pass the "even my mother knows that one" test of fame? I cant think of any.

"You know nothing, John Snow"
"Why so serious?"
"If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

"You know nothing, John Snow"
"Why so serious?"

Good call

[Suguru101]

That entire quote. Especially the "i will find you, and i will kill you".

[Nick Young]

"I drank your milkshake! I drank it up!"
"I am Groot"
"The cold never bothered me anyways"

Yo Nick, why'd you disappear from ISH. This place isn't as good without you

[Rake2204]

"I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"

First one that came to mind.

"It truly was a Shawshank Redemption."

"I am Sparta!"
"Never go full retard"

Speaking of changes, what happened to the iconic film scores of the past? Summer blockbusters are as big as ever, but I can't remember a single instantly recognizable film score from any of these films.

"Well that escalated quickly".



This is one that you see a lot in "Legendary" Threads across the internet world. The irony is that nowdays, the catch phrases will take off, even if peeps haven't even seen the movies that they come from (I never saw Anchorman or TDK either, BTW).

[Akrazotile]

This is Sparta and Never go full retard are good ones I hadnt thought of.


No idea what "I am groot" comes from. Ive never heard it mentioned before this thread, even on the internet. What film is that from?

Very true, maybe thats what Im missing. Maybe some of these internet memes Im familiar with are from movies I just havent seen.
