As a writer, you might have wild dreams of someday putting something on paper that people quote forever (or misquote forever). Creating one of those lines that makes an impact on the world seems like an impossibility, but the way to do it is just to keep writing specs and to be inspired.

Speaking of inspiration, here’s a list of what we think are the top 100 movie quotes of all time. They cover almost every decade and are here to help you revel in Hollywood and to inspire what you put on the page.

🎥 Cinematography

Christopher Nolan movies are events you have to experience on the biggest screen possible, preferably IMAX if you can.

And now, you might have to see them on that size screen, because his new movie, The Odyssey, is going to be the first ever to exclusively shoot in the film format.

IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond spoke at Cannes and said, “Chris called me up and said If you can figure out how to solve the problems, I will make [“Odyssey”] 100 percent in IMAX. And that’s what we’re doing,” Gelfond continued, “He forced us to rethink that side of our business, our film recorders, our film cameras.”

Let’s go over what this could mean for the theater-going experience.

🎬 Directing

Stanley Kubrick is an icon in filmmaking. His movies have inspired countless individuals to pursue filmmaking… even fellow filmmaking icon Quentin Tarantino.

We found this crazy 1992 interview with Quentin Tarantino and The Seattle Times, in which the auteur talked about how Kubrick’s film The Killing inspired Reservoir Dogs.

Let’s go over what Tarantino said!
