I like movies, considering I review a lot of them, but I've always been interested on what makes a movie scene famous. Is it the actors in the scene, is it a line or multiple lines given in the scene? Is it the acting? Is it something else?
So with each movie scene, I'll add a little comment about it.
So here you go. The top 100 most famous movie scenes.
