Forrest Gump
Yet another movie that’s classic and oh so quotable! There’s probably too many memorable scenes for you to guess which moment was improvised. Well, it’s the scene where Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) meets Bubba (Mykelti Williamson). On the spot, Tom Hanks just said, “My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.” Sure enough, the director, Robert Zemeckis, loved this stroke of genius and kept it in the film.

American Beauty
Sam Mendes, who directed American Beauty, really gave his actors freedom while shooting. Believe it or not, that famous dinner scene was completely unscripted. Sure, the stars got a rough frame, but they truly took the reigns with the scene. Thus, all the flying plates and shocked reactions were pretty authentic!
