If you're a movie buff, this is rather interesting

Scriptwriting isn’t easy. Some people spend months trying to perfect a specific scene, trying to write that perfect line that sticks in the mind of those who hear it. Then these guys come along and do it off the top of their heads.



How it played out:

Every great movie has one line or moment that will forever be associated with that film. In Taxi Driver, that line is “You talkin’ to me?” It actually became referenced in pop culture so often it was declared by the American Film Institute to be the tenth greatest movie quote of all time. It wasn’t even in the script. De Niro was just supposed to spend a moment looking menacingly at his reflection in the mirror. Instead he spent a full minute threatening it out loud.

I first saw this on Bits and Pieces, but there are several more HERE
