swallow leading to various twitter reactions and memes regarding the shirtless actor this movie is filled with extravagant special effects but the best bit of eye candy was a muscular male body let the past die kill it if you have to that's the only way to become what you were meant to be number 17 keanu reeves always be my maybe so where's your man nope there he is the internet loves some keanu reeves and suffice to say almost no one expected him to show up in a netflix rom-com and always be my maybe reeves plays a pretentious version of himself serving as the new boyfriend of sasha tron the actor took a short break from shooting john wick 3 to be in the movie and he even offered randall park some ideas for the credit song i punched keanu reeves i'm telling you for real i punch neo he could duck bullets but he couldn't duck me he also improvised with the other actors and it was he who decided to wear lensless glasses reeves helped elevate the already great movie and the internet was left in sheer delight i didn't know he wear glasses i don't my eyes are perfect this is for a part they don't even have lenses in them see well it's one of the best and most surprising cameos in recent cinema memory number 16 i'm the captain now captain phillips this thriller saw the inexperienced barcode abdi starring as the head pirate abdullah musee abdi had never acted before and was working as a limo driver dj and phone salesman when he attended a casting call for the movie he got the role and what a debut it was abdi received an academy award nomination and his improvised line i'm the captain now sparked endless memes on the internet hey look at me sure look at me sure i'm the captain now variations of the meme spread throughout reddit imgur funnyjunk and tumblr most of which used a look at me i'm the x now template it takes a special kind of talent to upstage tom hanks and barcode abdi is that special kind of talent number 15 the last ride furious 7. furious 7 was one of the best films in the franchise its production was marked by tragedy however with star paul walker dying in a car crash in november 2013. he was in the midst of filming furious 7 and his face was later imposed over physical stand-ins including walker's brothers caleb and cody the most famous scene of the movie is its ending in which dom says goodbye to a retiring brian it's never goodbye the scene was also a goodbye to walker himself playing over the sequence is wiz khalifa's see you again which was written as a tribute to walker you'll always be with me and you'll always be my brother it's a beautiful scene and the internet thought it a very touching eulogy to the late actor number 14 time in a bottle x-men days of future past earning stellar reviews and multiple accolades x-men days of future past is widely regarded as one of if not the best movie in the x-men series the movie's technical filmmaking was lauded with many critics and fans singling out the iconic time in a bottle [Music] sequence the scene sees quicksilver zipping around a kitchen causing people to punch themselves in the face stealing hats and moving bullets it was by far the most popular scene from the film and the clip has accumulated millions of views on youtube the craft humor creativity and imaginative visuals were all praised and it instantly became one of the most famous scenes in superhero fiction and that's saying a lot nice kid number 13 darth vader rogue one a star wars story this tragic star wars prequel was released immediately after the lighthearted and traditional the force awakens it certainly made for a jarring tonal shift the end of rogue one sees most of the protagonists dying and in one particularly famous scene darth vader slaughters a group of rebel troops the scene works perfectly on its own but it's also a wonderful bit of fan service hearkening back to the original trilogy and one of cinema's greatest villains the sequence is pure star wars and it may even have generated the most discussion and excitement from the disney era of movies yes even more than a shirtless atom driver number 12 messages from home interstellar messages span 23 years i played from the beginning this christopher nolan space epic is certainly filled with bombastic and imaginative sequences including the famous docking scene but it still finds time for humanity and that is perfectly represented through the messages from home scene due to time dilation cooper's brief foray on the ocean planet actually spans 23 years back on earth and cooper watches two decades worth of video messages from home while displaying incredible emotion you once told me that when you came back we might be the same age and today i'm the age you were when you left it would be a real good time for you to come back the scene is heartbreaking and it was rightfully regarded as one of the year's best sequences but it also turned into a meme and matthew mcconaughey reaction videos was born perhaps the most popular is the one that sees cooper reacting to the force awakens trailer [Music] number 11 jessica only child illinois chicago parasite it's not often that best picture winners set the internet alight but parasite proved the exception and while the film was filled with tons of great sequences it was a simple jingle that went viral and to remember her fake backstory she creates a little mnemonic jingle with kiwoo the two recite the jingle one last time before entering the park household and for some reason the internet really took a liking to it the scene was parodied and memed actress park sodom taught viewers how to sing the tune and the song was even available to download on the official parasite website it's amazing what a clever mnemonic device can do number 10 the argument marriage story like parasite marriage story isn't the type of movie to go viral but it did thanks primarily to the proliferation of netflix and the incredible cast you want to present yourself as a victim because it's a good legal strategy fine but you and i both know you chose this life the memes also helped in the movie's most famous sequence nicole and charlie enter into a vicious argument that eventually has charlie wishing that nicole would die the scene garnered instant attention with the internet at large praising the performances of scarlett johansson and adam driver every day i wake up and i hope you're dead dead like if i can guarantee henry would be okay i'd hope you'd get an illness if they get hit by a car and die driver's red screaming face became the de facto image of the movie and the scene gave rise to a four panel meme that ended with driver punching the wall and therein lies the power of good acting i'm sorry number nine the stairway dance joker [Music] the stairway dance is unique and fun enough to elicit thousands of copycats and it was filmed in a real location like the famous rocky steps this scene was begging to be copied over and over and over and over again [Applause] [Music] the stairs are located in the bronx new york and are located near the 167th street station they are now crowded with tourists many of whom recreate the joker's bizarre dance down the steps some of them dressed in joker attire themselves its legacy is yet to be seen but like the rocky steps we wouldn't be surprised if fans are recreating this scene 40 years into the future [Music] number eight the sunken place get out this movie came out of nowhere and despite its less than five million dollar budget it ended up grossing over 250 million at the worldwide box office it's hard to pinpoint what exactly struck a chord with mainstream audiences but many praised the movie's commentary on the black experience in america do they know them do they know i'm black should they this is visualized to absolute perfection in the sunken place which is where missy armitage sends chris's consciousness after hypnotizing him now sink into the floor wait wait wait wait wait [Music] the dehumanizing theme of the sunken place the haunting music and its unique visuals combined to make it the movie's most famous sequence and the image of chris's hypnotized crying face has become one of the most iconic movie images of the 21st century number seven terence fletcher's lesson whiplash not quite my tempo here we go five six serving as damien chazelle's breakthrough whiplash received universal praise when it was released in 2014 with much attention going towards the performance of jk simmons simmons plays a jazz instructor named terence fletcher who is prone to mistreating his pupils why do you suppose i just hurled a chair at your head neiman near the beginning of the film the band is playing hank levy's whiplash when fletcher grows irate at andrew neiman's off-tempo drumming after countless starts and restarts fletcher throws a chair at neiman's head slaps him across the face calls him offensive names and screams directly in his ear one two three one two three four one two three rushing or dragging rushing so you do know the difference with this everyone knew they weren't watching just another music movie they also knew that simmons would be an oscar winner and they were right start practicing harder neiman number six shallow a star is born aren't you tired trying to fill that void this is actually the fourth time that a star is born has been made following the original in 1937 and remakes in 1954 and 1976 this time bradley cooper was at the helm and he did an exceptional job directing writing performing and singing in all the good times i find myself along in shallow was performed three times in the movie with the most famous being ally and jackson's performance of the song at jackson's concert while the star is born name is obviously popular it was shallow that pushed this version over the edge [Music] the song peaked at number one in more than 20 countries and won the academy award for best original song and the music video has since accumulated over 1 billion views on youtube number five martha batman vs superman dawn of justice sometimes the internet breaks for the wrong reasons case in point the infamous martha sequence from batman vs superman the titular fight doesn't last that long and it ends in a spectacularly silly fashion when batman hears the name of superman's mother learning that his own mother shares a name with martha kent batman decides to stop the fighting acknowledging superman's humanity the scene was met with wide derision by the internet and quickly became infamous leading to in-jokes memes and shaking heads many people found it a contrived and anti-climactic way for the short battle to end and it was one of many reasons for the movie's lackluster critical reception number four what a lovely day mad max fury road this entire movie broke the internet as no one could believe just how good it was cgi certainly has its place but there's just something about real cars smashing into each other that really gets the blood pumping while the movie is basically credits to credit's action the most famous sequence sees the characters driving into a raging sandstorm the visuals and music are superb especially when the car and bodies are flying through the sand tornado but it's nux's reaction to the flying debris that became a phenomenon and what a lovely day quickly became one of the most popular movie quotes of the decade oh what a day what a lovely day number three peter parker disintegrates avengers infinity war i don't feel so good there's just something about a good tragic ending that sets the internet ablaze the end of infinity war sees thanos snapping his fingers and activating the gauntlet wiping out half of all life in the universe this includes the young peter parker who sadly turns to dust in tony's arms i don't want to go i don't want to go start please the scene was enormously popular not only for the shock of thanos victory and the incredible destruction that results but also for the intense emotion that the deaths generate and this being the internet the sequence was also meme to death with image macros depicting subjects disintegrating into particles usually accompanied by the caption i don't feel so good we needed the laughs to cover up the tears number two jordan belfort discovers a new phase the wolf of wall street leonardo dicaprio is one of the finest actors of all time and watching him act is watching a master at the top of his craft and sometimes that craft involves squirming around on the ground drooling groaning like an injured animal and opening a lamborghini door with your foot in the movie jordan swallows an amount of methaqualone that results in his partial paralysis the following 10 minutes are pure comedy gold and it proves dicaprio's qualities as a physical comedic performer when the internet was clamoring for dicaprio to win an oscar they were undoubtedly thinking of scenes like this

resulting in the deaths of both thanos and tony himself and i am iron man to say that this moment broke the internet would be a massive understatement it's all anyone talked about in the weeks to follow the snap itself became a major cultural moment and people even sink the scene to new year's countdowns for many the mcu will be a defining point in their movie-going lives and this served as
