All of Will Smith's 'Independence Day' One-Liners, Ranked

It’s been 20 years since Roland Emmerich devastated the United States in Independence Day, a film which has managed to etch itself irrevocably into pop culture, thanks in large part to its star’s charisma and some special effects that simply refuse to look dated.

Will Smith, who also still looks as good as he did back in 1996, cemented his place as a Hollywood megastar by spinning a script full of one-liners into comedy gold. Not every one of his lines of dialogue is a brilliant quip, but it’s pretty damn close.
