The saying a picture is worth a thousand words can be expertly utilized in film, but since the invention of sound in movies, the dialogue has been pivotal to the content a film can relay. A single line, much like a single picture, can speak volumes.   Over the years, there have been many great writers in Hollywood. Likewise, many great films made their way into the zeitgeist and will forever be quoted. To break down the best dialogue in cinema, we will take two different approaches to look at the spoken word. One will focus on the overall dialogue in film. This list will include movies that are driven by their dialogue, whether by nuance or outright ferocity. The other list will focus on one-liners. This list will highlight the moments in film that blow away the viewer with one line of dialogue.

Most recognize George R. R. Martin as the author of the bestselling series behind the massive hit HBO show Game of Thrones. However, Martin had been selling books and writing for Hollywood long before A Song of Ice and Fire, and Game of Thrones shot him to superstardom.  Martin was born in 1948 in Bayonne, New Jersey. He began writing at an early age and sold monster stories to other children in the neighborhood for pennies. In an interview for Bustle, Martin conducted with Stephen King, Martin described his childhood as existing within a five-block radius, with books and comic books being his ticket to a wider world. He would imagine and invent stories to explore the world beyond his neighborhood as well. His early writings blossomed into pieces for comic fanzines before making his first sale at the age of 21 with his short story “The Hero.”

On August second, my phone lit up with a Twitter notification from the account @teamfrankdaily reading: “our hearts are shattered for Frank and his Family. Rest in peace @rryanbreaux”. Frank Ocean’s brother Ryan Breaux, along with Ryan’s friend Ezekial Bishop, had died in a car crash. Scanning the text on my phone, the words “Frank”, “hearts are shattered” and “rest in peace”, froze my world for the longest millisecond I’ve ever known. After carefully rereading, and discovering that it was Ryan who had passed, I sat in shock for a different reason. Although I do not know Frank or his brother, (and will not pretend to), I know pain. I owe Frank Ocean my current state as an artist and it’s time I personally give him his flowers. I am not an award show or an acclaimed music critic, I am just a fan whose life has changed with incredible music from a brilliant artist.

Celebrities have always been subject to the pendulum of relevance and obsession that’s always followed by equal amounts of disdain. Thanks to the internet, this process is not only accelerated, but it’s incredibly more obvious and we’re able to see a more dramatized rise and fall of celebrities. We’ve called this steep fall, canceling, or cancel culture. It can happen to business or products too; one minute this new brand is a hit on social media, the next it’s deemed problematic and outcasted. However, whether it’s a person, a product or business, “canceling” something or someone is often confused with consumers holding individuals and corporations accountable. When we remember that we don’t owe millionaire celebrities or multi-billion dollar corporations anything whatsoever, cancel culture doesn’t hold up; it isn’t real.

From his early work as a young artist in Even Stevens, to some of his more recent works of more matured variety, multi-artist Shia LaBeouf fetches our love with his dynamic career and boldly creative choices as we’ve watched him blossom throughout the years. Recently, at a comical virtual table read for Fast Times at Ridgemont High, he gifted us with some chuckles for charity as he gave a classic character, a Shia-like twist with his hilariously authentic portrayal of Jeff Spicoli (sporting a most-likely real joint and animated neon sunglasses). The performance was a hit, and despite the table read being cast with Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, Henry Golding, and more, Shia LaBeouf stole the show. Trending with a lot of popularity on Twitter and social media, Shia is often praised for his commitment and character dedication.
