If someone asked you about your favorite movie quote of all time, you would likely be able to recite it word for word. It could be a legendary speech, a catchy line of dialogue, or an insult that zinged so well, it became a cult classic on its own.
Here are some examples, as shared by people in a Reddit thread from a few years back. You will see some of the classics from films like Billy Madison, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and even Toy Story, to name a few.
Scroll through and see if your favorite movie insult made the list.
