2. Midnight Cowboy – “I’m Walkin’ Here!”
Midnight Cowboy was an extremely low-budget film, and during one of the scenes, Ratso Rizzo almost got hit by a cab – in real life! The actor, knowing how to improvise well, quickly came up with the line “I’m walkin’ here,” and the director loved it right away and decided it had to be a part of the movie. The driver later jumped out of the van to ask what was happening, and they somehow got to redo the scene and made it an initial part of the film.
1. Dazed And Confused – “Alright, Alright, Alright.”
Before gaining traction with the McConnaissance, Matthew McConaughey, an Oscar-winning actor, attached his name to a famous line from the 1993 hit movie, Dazed and Confused. He noted he got his inspiration from a radio show he was listening to with Jim Morrison, who repeated the word “alright” four times. That was something he found fascinating, and after finding the perfect moment in the film, he knew he had to use it. This was later revealed in an interview the actor did.
