And there's a reason for it too and it's called the Mandela effect. But before we explain, let's see which film lines are notoriously misquoted.
Star Wars
One of the biggest moments in the franchise is when Darth Vader reveals himself as Luke Skywalker's father.
The line most people use is: "Luke, I am your father."
But this is wrong.
In actual fact, what Darth Vader says is: "No, I am your father."
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

When the Evil Queen asks her mirror who is the fairest of them, you thought she said 'mirror' twice, didn't you.
Well, that's wrong.
The quote we think she said is: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
But in reality, she said: "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
The Wizard Of Oz

Another quote people love to use when in an unfamiliar situation is from The Wizard Of Oz.
We thought Judy Garland told her dog, Toto: "I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore."
But that's incorrect - what she really said is: "Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore."

Jaws
Ever said, "We’re gonna need a bigger boat" when something isn't up to scratch?
That famous line isn't the actual line from Jaws's Sheriff Brody though.
What he actually said is: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
What is the Mandela effect?
So why do our memories deceive us like this, we hear you say.
Well, some believe it's due to something that is known as the Mandela affect, where a big group of people collectively remember things incorrectly.
It came about in 2010, when people online were convinced Nelson Mandela had died in prison in the 80s.
But that's completely wrong - he was released in 1990.
Mandela didn't die until 2013.
