The Usual Suspects
Now, some directors do allow their actors to freely improvise, but others like Brian Singer like to stick to the script. Thus, while he directed The Usual Suspects it was rare he let the actors go off-script. However, there is one iconic scene in which Singer allowed them complete freedom. Think back to the line up scene…it was totally improvised. So yes, even the part where someone farted and then the officer told Del Toro, “in English please.” Amazing.

Goodfellas
Honestly, besides The Godfather trilogy what could be a more classic gangster film than Goodfellas? Also think back to the cast…there was Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and of course, Joe Pesci. Perhaps, the best improvisation came from Pesci in the role of Tommy. During this moment we’re speaking of, Tommy was infuriated that he got called a ‘funny guy.’ Then, Joe Pesci invented his famous line, “Do I amuse you?” Whoa!
