There’s something thrilling about watching these suspenseful stories, whether they’re about lawlessness or about crime-fighting.

It’s hardly surprising that there are plenty of crime movies with endlessly quotable lines of dialogue.

As a gangster movie,Snatchis almost perfect.

The English accents just make every quotable line funnier, too.

StarringSNLalumniJohn BelushiandDan Aykroydin a pair of explosively funny performances, it’s one of the great American comedy movies.

There’s something inimitably special about a fun, hilarious, unbelievably terrible action B-movie.

In that niche realm of the genre,Samurai Coparguably reigns supreme.

From Hill’s narration to the infamous “How am I funny?”

In Bruges

There’s something that all these three exceptional movies have in common: Great dialogue.

From monologues to jokes to one-liners to conversations,Pulp Fictionhas quotable dialogue to spare.

An awful, awful lot more.
