The film industry is as unpredictably unpredictable as life itself. Things we see on film aren't always planned ahead of time and aren't even in the screenplay. Actors that are truly skilled tend to engage a portion of themselves in the filming process: some make things more emotional, some make them funny, and others simply don't like the stiff lines. Occasionally performers make errors that sound better than what is intended in the screenplay, so the director retains the scene in the movie and the audience enjoys it. As a result, performers' improvisations frequently make films more vibrant and enjoyable.We sought to explore which moments from well-known pictures were created by the actors, and which made the flicks far more vivid and unforgettable. Here are 12 famous sequences from our favorite movies that were improvised by our beloved performers rather than following the original screenplay.
