Film expert Boyd Hilton said: ‘When there are so many brilliant movie quotes to remember, it’s understandable for people to get some muddled up, even some of the classics from the golden era of world cinema.
‘Even when a line has only been slightly altered, it can change the context of the whole movie.
‘For example, “Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes, it was Beauty killed the beast”‘ is the final line from the King Kong film.
‘You need to remember the whole sentence to get the full effect.’
Clipology manager David Norman said: ‘There is a whole collection of films that relate to real life scenarios so it’s completely normal for people to use or remember the famous lines during their daily lives.’
