Movies generally make life out to way more exciting, romantic, and eventful than the reality, so we’ve put together a collection of funny movie quotes that actually get it right. Life is less ‘rainbows and butterflies’, and more a permanent state of confusion, fatigue and hunger, as these movie quotes will attest to. So get scrolling and find comfort in the fact that you’re not alone; no one knows what they’re doing, and since none of us are getting out of here alive, does it really matter?
Have Your Own Main Character Moment
Okay, so we’ve established that a lot of movies portray life in a less-than-attainable way, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. Channel your main character energy into these genius movie posters and you can feature in some true big-screen classics. Fake it until you make it, as they say. These quirky posters make the perfect gift for the movie buff in your life, or just those who love the limelight (we all know someone).
