Goodfellas
Joe Pesci based this improvised line on a very real-life story. He delivers the line " I’m funny, how? I mean funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you?" In fact, he improvised the whole rant. "I make you laugh? I’m here to amuse you? What do you mean 'funny'? Funny how? How am I funny?" It has been called a genuine mix of boiling tension and frantic energy. This is a scene that will go down in history.
