13 Movie Moments We Didn't Know Were Ad-Libbed On Set

Every detail must be considered when shooting a fantastic movie. Every shot, word, and scene must be meticulously designed to provide the proper punch to the audience. But, no matter how amazing the movie is, there is always one scene that sticks out amongst the rest. A scene that will go on to dominate the conversation and memory of the audience for years.

Sometimes all it takes is a particular scene to completely transform filmmaking. “Rosebud”, anyone? While numerous films since the last quarter-century have astonished, motivated, and provided memorable entries into the culture canon, just a handful, and especially a few isolated moments, have had a significant impact on how future films are created. So, what qualifies for that list?
