matrix welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 memorable questions in movies
too short for a stormtrooper huh for
this list we’re taking a look at the
most quotable movie lines that end with
a question mark what you guys saw you
with a box what was in the box
cuz I envy your normal life a gun down
David it seems that envy is must know
what’s in the box because some of these
questions involve key plot points a
spoiler alert may be in order
I’m Ron Burgundy
damnit who typed a question mark on the
teleprompter number 10 is it secret is
it safe the Lord of the Rings the
Fellowship of the Ring some form of
elvish Gandalf the Grey summons great
power and confidence wherever he goes
which makes his rare moments of weakness
especially effective one ring in the
Fellowship of the Ring we first see
gandalf expressed true vulnerability
when he creeps up on frodo
and asks to imperative questions
regarding the One Ring you see the
paranoia in Gandalf sighs and fear in
his voice encompass just how powerful
this piece of jewelry is and dire fate
middle-earth may face the ring might be
safe in Frodo’s hands but it won’t be
secret much longer the ring will be safe
then I don’t have any officers number 9
have you ever danced with the devil in
the pale moonlight Batman ever danced
with the devil in the pale light even
before he became the Joker Jack Napier
made a habit of asking all his prey this
strange question why no reason really
he simply liked the way it sounded I am
the world’s first fully functioning
homicidal artist that’s actually fitting
for a character as demented and
illogical as the Joker the question
turns out to have more significance than
anyone initially thought though as Bruce
Wayne discovers a parallel between the
Clown Prince of Crime and his parents
murderer so
you ever dance with a dead
during his final confrontation with
Batman the question comes back to bite
the Joker in the pale moonlight excuse
me have you ever danced to the devil in
the pale moonlight number eight what’s
your favorite scary movie scream yes
force this who are you trying to reach
if you do indeed like scary movies then
scream is the perfect popcorn picture
for you like scary movie
uh-huh what’s your favorite scary movie
as much as people might enjoy scary
movies however nobody would ever want to
experience one firsthand scary Knight
isn’t with a murderess at all it’s like
right out of a horror movie or something
when a stranger asks Drew Barrymore’s
Casey this question over the phone it
seems like an innocent flirtation you
have to have a favorite what comes to
mind what Casey does not realize is that
she’s basically accepting an invitation
to be a scream queen in a slasher flick
now she’s playing a dangerous game and
despite her vast knowledge of scary
movies Casey is bound to lose
number seven did you order the Code Red
a few good men now are these really the
questions that I was called here to
answer vital questions are asked on the
witness stand every day but few have
packed a greater punch than this one
from a few good men we follow orders or
people die it’s that simple
are we clear the scene finds Daniel
Kaffee and Nathan R Jessup at their
boiling point as the lieutenant asks the
colonel about the Code Red you snotty
little bastard while the question is
quotable Jessup’s response is perhaps
even more iconic you want answers I
think I’m entitled you want the truth
you can’t handle the truth when the
truth finally comes out everyone in the
courtroom is shaken and shocked the news
is a bombshell
and although just a fuse himself as
untouchable his military career has just
imploded did you order the Code Red
I did the job did you order the kobra
god damn right I did
number six you built a time machine out
of a DeLorean back to the future when
this baby hits 88 miles per hour
you’re gonna see some serious shit when
you think of time travel what images
immediately come to mind if you’re
familiar with Back to the Future chances
are a DeLorean just zoomed by in your
head before 1985 though nobody would
have ever thought to associate these two
things with one another you see Einstein
has just become the world’s first time
traveler
I can’t head into the future
the fact that Doc Brown discovered
time-travel is unbelievable
but what really blows the out of breath
Marty McFly away is that he did so with
this stylish vehicle prompting an
obscure question that still constantly
referenced even decades later are you
telling me you built a time machine out
of a DeLorean number five what do you
mean I’m funny
Goodfellas I said all right I’ll tell
you something go fuck your mother if
you’re a die-hard Mojo holic you might
be asking why this particular scene
keeps popping up on our very
top ten lists you know anybody who’s
seen Goodfellas knows the answer however
what just Judith you’re funny fleetingly
commenting on Tommy DeVito’s ability to
make others laugh
Henry Hill accidentally triggers
something in the volatile mobster
well I’m funny how I mean funny like I’m
a clown I am you you I make you laugh
I’m here to amuse you what do you mean
funny funny how how am i funny this
historic movie moment grows more and
more uncomfortable with every question
Tommy asks insisting that Henry go into
greater detail how do I know you said
I’m funny how do my funny what’s up is
so funny about me tell me the entire
exchange turns out to be another joke
though and Henry’s startled expression
was the punchline kids of number four
what does Marsellus Wallace look like
pulp fiction what does Marsellus Wallace
look like what Marsellus Wallace is
black and bald but he most certainly
does not look like a bitch splat cause
he’s bald does he look like a bitch what
Jules makes this abundantly clear to
Bret and the audience in this intense
scene from pulp fiction describe what
Marsellus Wallace looks like he also
teaches us that when a hitman has a gun
pointed at you it’s probably best not to
answer his question with another
question what I wanna do say what again
I dare you I double dare you say what
one more goddamn time of course it’s not
like there was any answer Bret could
have given that would have resulted in
him surviving this interrogation black
dawn he’s bald Marcellus Wallace does
not take getting lightly just ask Zed No
I’m pretty far from okay number three
mrs. Robinson you’re trying to seduce me
aren’t you the Graduate okay think I
could be phony
sit down Benji mrs. Robinson if you
don’t mind my saying so this
conversation is getting a little strange
mrs. Robinson is the og when it comes to
Cougars now whenever a young man finds
himself dating an older woman it’s hard
not to reference this classic question
from the graduate my husband will be
back quite late she’d be gone for
several hours as Benjamin finds himself
backed up against a wall he feels
compelled to address the elephant in the
room oh my god
hi Alysa bouncing oh no his immortal
line is only made more memorable by the
suggestive angle from which director
Mike Nichols shot the scene what really
seals the deal though is how the
bumbling Benjamin follows up his
question tacking on and aren’t you to
make matters even more awkward mrs.
Robinson you’re trying to seduce me
aren’t you number two do I feel lucky
Dirty Harry now you know why they call
me dirty here
we dirty job it comes along no matter
how old Clint Eastwood gets his
commanding on-screen presence will never
wither whether playing a cop who doesn’t
play by the rules in Dirty Harry or a
Korean War veteran in Gran Torino he’s
somebody you never want to screw with I
know what you’re thinking did he fire
six shots or only five well I tell you
the truth in all this excitement I kind
of lost track myself this scene remains
one of East woods career defining
moments as Inspector Harold Callahan
practically dares a punk to take a
chance and make his day you’ve got to
ask yourself one question do I feel
lucky
well do your bunker Eastwood conjures
such grit and self-assurance that we
likely wouldn’t have reached for the
shotgun either even though it turns out
that Eastwood was empty
before we question our top pick here are
a few honorable mentions what is your
major malfunction numbnuts didn’t mummy
and daddy show you enough attention when
you were a child
so me watching he takes the knife to her
laughing while he doesn’t he turns to me
and he says why so serious
that’s all pay attention girls we got
strays hi curly kill anyone today
staying over yet
Sarah Connor yes
is Darth Vader my father arrest by made
yes
rest number one you talking to me
taxi driver Jaya our number one question
has become such an identifiable staple
of popular culture that it’s practically
its own trope you’re talking to me
you’re talking to me as Travis Bickel
gazes into a mirror in taxi driver the
audience gazes into the empty void that
is his soul lonely deranged and wanting
nothing more than to share a human
connection with anybody
Travis finds himself hounding the man in
the mirror well who the hell are you
talking to talk to me what I’m the only
one here with dialog that was amazingly
improvised he pumps himself up for the
suicide mission that lies ahead

nobody ever talks to you look do you
