Legendary movies produce legendary quotes. Who among us does not remember “Hasta la vista baby” from Terminator? English expressions from famous films are worth remembering. And not only because they are great language practice, they are easy to remember and use useful constructions and words, but also because native speakers use them very often. Each quote applies to a specific situation, but those situations are pretty predictable. And it also sounds really cool. For example, "I'll be back" will never cease to be badass.

Houston, we have a problem. - Houston, we have a problem. (Apollo 13)

Say this phrase when a big problem arises.

I'll be back.- I'll be back. (Terminator)

It's alive! It's alive!- It's alive! It's alive! (Frankenstein)

The mad scientist uttered this phrase when the creature he created came to life. You can use it when, for example, the computer you are trying to revive finally works. The effect is guaranteed.

Say it when you suddenly find yourself in an unfamiliar and strange place.

Bond. James Bond.- Bond. James Bond. (Dr. No)

The hero of films and books about James Bond is super cool. If you want to appear as such (however, more often this phrase takes on an ironic connotation), use its structure as follows: your last name, a dramatic pause, your first name and last name. But, for example, this is unlikely to happen with my name. And I still wonder why I'm never taken seriously. What kind of coolness can we talk about when a person has the name Lily of the valley.

Another quote from the movie classic "The Wizard of Oz". Use when talking about the comfort and coziness of your beloved home.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.- I love the smell of napalm in the morning. (Apocalypse Now)

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.“To be honest, honey, I don’t care. (Gone with the Wind)

One of my favorites. At one time, this phrase caused a real shock among the public. It was incomprehensible: how can a man say such a thing to his wife at the moment when he leaves her, and in general, how can he leave her? I would use it everywhere now. The main thing is to find an object, and there are a lot of them around.

I feel the need... the need for speed.“I feel thirsty… thirsty for speed. (Top Gun)

Said by a pilot who wants adventure and new experiences. In a situation like this, when you're craving adrenaline and something new, use it.

When we reach a higher level in English, we have a desire to discuss serious topics related to philosophy, politics, society. In deep conversations, many people like to appeal to the opinions of famous personalities. As you know, a reference to authority always contributes to the conviction of the interlocutor, helps to correctly build the argument and express your thoughts. Therefore, at a certain stage of learning English, you decide to learn some quotes in English. In principle, it will be easy for someone who has a good level of language to translate some familiar aphorisms from Russian. But here it is important to understand that the translation you made may not be accurate, but from that unusual hearing of the English speaker, and any slightest mistake often completely distorts the meaning. That is why some statements are better to remember immediately in English.

To make it easier for you to learn quotes in English, choose those phrases that are close to you. If the statement seems meaningless and at odds with the student's personal beliefs, then it is unlikely to be remembered quickly. Think of famous people who inspire you. It is to their statements that it is worth turning first of all. Then you can remember your favorite books, movies, characters. It is known that people who read a lot often turn into a "collection of aphorisms". Hence the conclusion: if you want to look intellectual in the eyes of a foreign interlocutor, read as much literature as possible in the original. Movies and series are good too. Revisiting our favorite episodes from the same Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders in the original, we involuntarily remember the significant statements of the characters. Music videos are especially good in this regard. Phrases from your favorite English songs are deposited in memory by themselves, without any effort on our part.

When you start looking for quotes with meaning in English with a translation into Russian, you will probably find that many of the statements you hear are not the first time. The thing is that the smart thoughts of famous personalities or characters, for the most part, are universal for the whole world, and not just for the US or the UK. This is especially true for universal human values, such as friendship, love, beauty, the meaning of life. It is possible that some statement by Winston Churchill regarding the recovery of the British economy after the Second World War will not be translated into Russian. On the other hand, the politician's phrases on the topic of success will be widely used in our country. Many interesting thoughts can be gleaned from ancient Greek thinkers.

One of the quotes about the English language says that the most famous dead languages ​​​​are ancient Greek, Latin and literary English. If you want to learn the kind of English that sounds in New York offices, London cafes and on the air of American channels, then it is better, of course, to focus on quotes from modern TV shows and book bestsellers. Literary English, which the heroes of TV series based on the novels of Jane Austen, Dickens or the Bronte sisters turn to, is, of course, beautiful in itself. But it is not suitable for life. But modern TV shows you can literally parse into quotes. Many replicas of the heroes of such projects are ready-made speech constructions that will come in handy in a variety of situations.
