Top 10 Will Smith Film Quotes



Will Smith, once the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, is now quite the hunky action star. His films are grossing hundreds of millions at the box office and he is in constant demand. He’s known for his suave charm and humorous comments, but he can also play serious straight roles just as well. Here are his ten best lines from films.

10. ‘Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee His hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.’
From ‘Ali’

Great use of rhymes and a fun way to insult a person or at least make them really mad. It’s a good way to piss someone off. We should all do that, rhyme and infuriate.

9. ‘Ninety percent of what you’re saying isn’t coming out of your mouth.’
From ‘Hitch’

Very true. It’s in the eyes, body language and more. We hardly ever say what we mean.

8. ‘No I was picking something up for myself, I do a little cross-dressing on the weekends. You know, you’d be surprised how a nice pair of edible panties can make a guy feel sexy.’ 
From ‘Enemy of the State’

Sarcastic as ever and he is great at it. Will never lets anyone get to him. There’s some sarcasm in us all and it’s fun to let loose.

7. ‘I make this look good.’
From ‘Men in Black’

His famous line from the film, dressed in the black suit and black glasses.

6. ‘We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life.’
From ‘Bad Boys II’

Everyone needs a friend like this, someone who watches your back, no matter what.

5. ‘Inside each and every one of us is our one, true authentic swing. Something we was born with. Something that’s ours and ours alone. Something that can’t be learned. Something that’s got to be remembered.’
From ‘The Legend of Bagger Vance’

I wish they taught this to children in school. We all have a gift, we just have to find it and use it. Only, he said it a lot more eloquently.

4. ‘It’s a sign of trust. It’s a human thing. You wouldn’t understand.’
From ‘I, Robot’

Maybe robots have their own code of trust too, who knows,

3. ‘You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, Go get it. Period.’
From ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’

The best lesson to teach your kids is to have a dream and chase it down, no matter what. Brilliant movie, one to watch.

2. ‘Why don’t you exercise your right to shut the fuck up,’ 
From ‘Bad Boys II’

Everyone wants to say this to someone at one point or another. Especially if you’re a cop.

1. ‘Now that’s what I call a close encounter.’
From ‘Independence Day’

A really funny line in the context of the film. This is right after he punches the alien in the spaceship. He mocks the film ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and revels in the fact that he took charge of the alien scum.
