“Molly, you in trouble, girl.”
The scene: Oda Mae (played by Whoopi Goldberg) finds Molly (played by Demi Moore), and repeats to Molly what Sam (played by Patrick Swayze) said word for word, per Sam’s request.
Whoopi Goldberg is one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood – and for good reason! Her refined and talented acting skills shine through all of her work, including this popular film where she improvises a line that went on to be very quotable among viewers. It came as no surprise when Goldberg got her first and foremost Oscar win with this iconic flick.
The Empire Strikes Back
"I know."
The scene: Darth Vader is about to split up Han and Leia. Before he does, they lean in for a meaningful kiss. After this, Leia says she loves Han. This is one of the most well-regarded Star Wars movies in the entire series. Some say it’s been rated the best since it’s the darkest one of the series.
Others say it’s due to the fact that there’s never a dull moment. It was the second movie released of the lot in 1980. Even with the success of the new movies, we will never forget the impact the classics had on film lovers around the world. The love story between Han and Leia captured all of our hearts.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
*Fall, roll, flourish!*
The scene: This line is delivered when we first see Willy Wonka in the film. He is greeting the kids that won the golden tickets to his chocolate factory. When he makes his way to the gate, he falls forward and rolls on the red carpet.
Gene Wilder brilliantly performs this role and actually made up many defining moments on the spot while filming, including this iconic entrance. He immersed himself into his character, which ultimately made this film so well-received. In the end, the 1971 film got an Oscar nomination and a few other awards and nominations behind its name.
Tootsie
"I wish I had a theater that was only open when it rained."
The scene: One of the main characters, Jeff Slater (played by Bill Murray), goes on a rant while drunk at a party. Everybody know that Bill Murray has gone places in the Hollywood scene.
Again, we are bringing up comedy legend Bill Murray himself. By the looks of it, he is truly the king of improvised one-liners. Even though he is a side character in this film, he is no doubt the funniest character that the film boasted. Possibly In fact, Murray’s unscripted comedic phrases led this movie to win an Oscar!
Casablanca
"Here's looking at you. kid."
The scene: Rick and Ilsa say goodbye before she gets on a plane with Victor. The three-time Oscar-winning movie "Casablanca" has to be one of the most quoted and well-known films out there. But, did you know that some of the best lines in this movie were unscripted?
There really was not much direction when filming this scene. The cast was told to do what they wanted, and they would go from there. And it’s a good thing this happened! This scene is a legendary scene because of its comedy between the actors and the off-camera chemistry.
