FAMOUS MOVIE QUOTES EXPLAINED | Improve Your English Fluency

If you like, movies, love learning English,

and you also want to understand a little more about American pop culture.

Well then this lesson is for you.

Hey everyone, my name is Wes. This is Interactive English,

which is all about helping you practice and improve your English skills.

And today I want to talk to you about some famous movie one liners,

some movie quotes that have gone beyond the films from,

from which they have come to become embedded in American pop culture.

So these are movie quotes that are easily recognizable,

especially in the United States,

but I think that they're pretty well known throughout the world because the

movies that I'm going to talk to you about are, are pretty famous.

So you can use these quotes in everyday conversation if you happen to find

yourself in a particular situation and the quote is relevant or you can use them

just for fun to see if other people can recognize the quote and the movie that

it came from, which again is part of your cultural understanding of the language,

but it also adds value to your overall English fluency.

So the first quote that I have for you is we're not in Kansas anymore and this

quote comes from the famous movie, the Wizard of Oz.

Now the Wizard of Oz was originally a book, which was also pretty famous,

but I think the quote really became popular after the movie,

and Dorothy says this too, to Todo once they arrive in Oz and she says,

well, we're not in Kansas anymore. We are in a strange and unknown place.

So you can actually use this quote.

If you find yourself in a strange and unknown place and you're with another

person who also thinks the place is strange and you can say, you know, Hey,

we're not in Kansas anymore. I don't know about this place. It's strange.

It's unknown. We're not in Kansas anymore.

Then there is another famous quote from this movie and that is there is no place like home.

There's no place like home. This quote comes from the end of the movie.

When Dorothy is clicking those slippers together and she wants to return home

and she really misses home and says, there's no place like home.

There's no place like home.

Once again, this is a quote that you can use in an everyday conversation if you want to

express that same feeling and capture that emotion.

If you are away from your home,

maybe you've been traveling for a long time and you really miss it and you were

thinking about it, you could say, you know, yeah, there's no place like that.

Then we have this quote right here. Go ahead, make my day.

Now that was a terrible Clint Eastwood impression. I'm sorry about that,

but this quote comes from the movie Dirty Harry and Clint Eastwood says this,

Go ahead. Make my day.

It's like he's asking them to react so that he can react and that's what this

quote means, that you are you.

You hope that another person continues with the action that they're doing so

that you can react and do something else that might give you pleasure.
