How to Search For a Movie Quote?

If you love movie quotes you can see that nowadays there are more and more web sites having thousand of famous quotes, but if you are looking for a specific and no famous quote in a movie, sometimes it's very difficult or even impossible to find it. Since some months ago a new generation of specialized search engines is coming up, they are called movie quotes search engines. Some of them allow you to find not only a specific quote from a movie but also show you the exact moment where a phrase is said (h:m:s) and the context.

If you go to any search engine and type "Movie quotes search engine" into the search box you will get some of these web sites. There you can look for whatever you want, for instance, if you want to know in how many movies the word "Manhattan" is said or to know in which film the phrase "yes, we can" is said you can even have a look at the context.

These sites are also a great resource to make a video-montage (assembled from very short clips from several movies), using the time reference shown in the found results to cut the specific scenes to make the montage.

Another funny use of this type of web sites is as a tv-guide, if you turn on tv and a film has already started you can look for a phase you have just listened and you will know which movie is it from and how long has it been since it started.
