13. 'I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse'
The Godfather trilogy is one of the most acclaimed series of films ever made. Among the many classic scenes, one line stands out. That is when Don Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando, chillingly states: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." His son Michael, played by Al Pacino, also utters a version of the phrase, saying: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." The quote, which appears in different variations across the three films, is one of the most-quoted in film history. | United Archives via Getty Images Photo: FilmPublicityArchive
14. 'You talkin’ to me?'
In the 1976 film Taxi Driver, Robert De Niro plays the tortured veteran Marine Travis Bickle, struggling to keep it together as he ferries people around New York. His most famous line comes as he stares into the mirror, playing out an imaginary confrontation in which he repeatedly utters the line: "You talkin' to me?" Director Martin Scorsese has told how De Niro improvised the line, which wasn't in the script. | United Archives via Getty Images Photo: FilmPublicityArchive
