I don't usually like seeing behind the scenes stuff about movies because I prefer to maintain the mystery. However, if it's true that these well-known lines & scenes were improvised, it makes them all the better.

These are great! It's funny that so many famous lines come from actors "in the zone" just blurting out what feels right.

I'd like to add that the dialogue in the waxing scene in "The 40-year-old Virgin" is also improvised and it had to be shot in one take (because Steve Carrell's chest hair was actually being waxed).

This is a good scene from Kramer vs. Kramer. Dustin Hoffman breaking the wine glass is improvised.

Great point about the actors being in the zone. Reading that, then seeing Hoffman breaking the glass makes his acting seem even more brilliant.

Haven't seen the 40yr old Virgin, but if Steve Carrell was actually having his chest waxed and able to deliver dialogue without squealing, that's really impressive!

I love this scene from On the Waterfront. The moment where the glove falls is unscripted, the actress accidentally dropped it. Marlon Brando picked it up and just went with it.

My goodness, NYCG -- that whole scene is the distillation of acting. Thanks so much for posting it. The way Eva Marie Saint pulls the glove off, too, seems just as though it had been scripted that way.

How do you find out all these nuggets of info? You must be a real film aficionada.
