WhatMovieIsThis

Find a movie by dialogue

Paste a line of dialogue — even a paraphrase — and our AI tells you the movie, TV show, anime, or K‑drama it came from, plus the character, scene, and trailer.

How the quote finder works

1. Paste the line. Any wording works — an exact quote, a paraphrase, or a translated version.
2. AI matches it. Our model scans millions of scripts and returns the most likely movie, show, or anime.
3. Explore. Get the character, actor, scene context, and a trailer link to confirm.

Film quotes search: Hollywood, TV and beyond

This movie quote finder works on classic and modern Hollywood lines, British TV, sitcom catchphrases, anime dubs and subtitles, and Bollywood or Hindi web-series dialogue. Type the line in the language you heard it. You'll get the title, the year, the character who says it and a short description of the scene, plus where to watch it.

Tips for finding a movie from a quote

Type the most unusual words you remember. Names, places, numbers and odd turns of phrase narrow the search much faster than common lines like "I love you" or "let's go". If you only remember part of the line, type that part. The AI handles fragments and wrong word order.

Add context if you have it: roughly when you watched it, whether it was a film or a series, the language, or what was happening in the scene. A quote from a song, an advert or a trailer can be traced to its source too.

If the result is labelled "Likely" or "Best guess", check the alternate candidates and the scene context. If none fit, rephrase the line or describe the plot on find a movie by description. If you have a screenshot or clip, the screenshot movie identifier is usually more accurate. See all free movie identification tools.
