Movie taglines are designed to be sharp and snappy one-liners that capture the essence of the movie. Sometimes the moral of the story is shown through that one line, and sometimes even the whole story is summed up in less than half a dozen words.
Some movies do a better of job of it than others, and these are the taglines which are etched forever into the history of pop culture. People quote them, make memes on them, and other filmmakers even try to replicate the same impact of these powerful lines.
We have compiled a list of the most epic movie taglines from the cinema history:
#1. Alien
In space no one can hear you scream.

The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

Escape or die frying.

Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free.
