Memes and movies have had a symbiotic relationship for years. Movies give screengrabs, universally relatable reaction gifs, and one-liners as fodder to meme fans everywhere.

Memes serve as a marketing strategy for some movies, as it boosts their popularity online and attracts many people. Internet culture usually preserves a film's relevance far beyond its theatrical run. 

Best Movie Memes

As memes have evolved, movie memes get more concentrated, culminating in the most self-referential form.

If you are a Twitter user who has not seen the latest movie adapted by netizens, you are probably about to spend your time wondering why a certain scene from a movie became a reaction video.

Memes are often screenshots of iconic movie moments. They capture the incredible expressions of actors during a particular scene. Some memes are generated as there are those that want a customized one.

Movie memes do not have any bounds, may they be from award-winning pictures or box office flops. Below are the best movie memes.

'Ma'

"Ma" was a horror movie released in 2019. It may not have been a box office hit, but it made a decent return, all thanks to its free advertisement.

The "Ma" meme became very popular on Twitter, with GIFs and memes of Octavia Spencer as Ma circulating the platform. Even the actress herself posted the movie's memes on her Instagram, giving people her seal of approval, according to Esquire.

Although it became a popular meme, there was no specific reason why. Twitter users just inserted the short title of the movie on different famous movie posters like "Ma Ma Land." "Call Ma By Your Name," and "RoMa."

There was also a meme of Ma behind a wall, listening to her victims talk, that people used as part of their reaction on the timeline. 

'Marriage Story'

"Marriage Story" was one of the best picture nominees at the 2019 Oscars. One particular scene that caught the viewer's attention was when Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson fought in a beige living room. Although the scene itself is moving and Oscar-worthy, netizens found their expressions memeable.

Twitter users have repurposed the format to express other frustrating arguments. Scarlett Johansson's crying face also became very popular, according to MTV.

'A Star Is Born'

When the trailer for "A Star is Born" was released in 2018, the internet loved the exchange between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. A simple "Hey" from Cooper made Gaga spin around.

It is difficult to pin down where the comedy gold mine lies. It could have been Cooper rolling down his window, the twirl from Gaga, her smirk, or the combination of it all that made it so meme-worthy. 

'Uncut Gems'

Adam Sandler is one of the most famous comedians in Hollywood, but his movie "Uncut Gems" allowed him to showcase his acting chops.

The movie's genre may be a crime thriller, but people were still able to find the humor in it, with a screenshot of Sandler wearing rimless glasses and delivering the line "This is how I win" becoming one of the most famous memes of 2019, according to Screen Rant.

'The Bee Movie'

"The Bee Movie" was released in 2007, but it is not safe from the prying eyes of the netizens, who argue that the movie's whole plot is pretty odd.

The movie did not generate any returns at the box office, but its meme-worthy scenes had kept the hype up for years, making it one of the most re-watched animated movies of all time. Now that is understandable because every single scene in the film has become a meme at one point.
