Some of these lines were meant to make you laugh. Some were meant to make you think, while others were simply meant to intimidate or scare the audience.

Some of the classic 1970s features that spawned iconic quotes that have taken on lives of their own include Dirty Harry, which provided a memorable early role for star Clint Eastwood. Though the film went on to spawn a franchise, few aspects of the character remain in the cultural consciousness, like the iconic quote of "do you feel lucky, punk?” That line has gone on to be parodied numerous times, as has Travis Bickle’s iconic line from Taxi Driver: "are you talking to me?" The latter quote was uttered by Robert De Niro early in his career and is still one of the first things people think of when they see the aging star's face.

There are numerous other memorable quotes that were spawned from 1970s cinema, and we’ll be taking a look at the best of the best in this video! These quotes come from comedies, dramas, horror films, action films, and there’s even a musical! Join Facts Verse as we explore 70s movie quotes that should be burned into your brain.

I remember a quote, “Never kill your self”, said with a tone that implied if you are going to kill someone, don’t make it yourself, from a movie in that era. I think it was said by John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. I was too young to remember the actor or the movie. Anybody know?
