We all know the famous line from "The Godfather" - "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." But what about some of the other great movie quotes? Whether it's Humphrey Bogart telling Rick Blaine that "in Casablanca, you're either very rich or very poor," or E.T. whispering "E.T. phone home," these are some quotes that are sure to stick with you long after you've seen the film. But ever think where this all inspiration comes from?
Inspiration can come from all kinds of weird places. Do you know that cool Slo-Mo effect from Dredd? It was actually inspired by a slowed-down Justin Bieber video from YouTube.
