Depending on your personality type, you probably have a lot of different reasons for enjoying different kinds of movies. In this way, you are certainly not alone.
We all have different preferences, things we enjoy, and things we dislike, but different kinds of movies (and TV shows) are intended to solicit different feelings in us. For example, thrillers and horror movies give us feelings of anticipation, anxiety, and excitement as they often solicit both physical and mental stimulation for us.
Whether you fancy a romantic-comedy, a psychological thriller, a family classic, or anything in between and outside the wide variety of options available in this day and age, chances are you have some films that are bonafide comfort movies for you. You probably also have at least one movie where the quotes stick in your head indefinitely, and you find yourself spewing them out every chance you get.
These quote-worthy movies are often cult classics or timeless, and they're very frequently comedies! Despite our differences in tastes, many of the world's most quote-worthy movies are the sort many of us have enjoyed many times over.
Thus, we can usually recognize quotes from those movies wherever they pop up. With that in mind, Reddit user Cuish asked the r/AskReddit community: "What film is extremely quotable," and we're positive that among the thousands of comments the post gathered, you'll agree with these top responses.
