Numerous movies have seen characters break the so-called fourth wall. The term refers to an imaginary wall that separates performers in a film, play, or other narrative forms from the audience. When an actor breaks the fourth wall, they allow the audience to observe the narrative while the actors behave as if the audience is not present. The technique works contrary to what most filmmakers strive to achieve, to create a completely immersive experience where cinemagoers forget that they are in fact an audience watching a film.
So, what films best exemplify this unique filmmaking technique? Click through and revisit some truly memorable fourth-wall moments, but be prepared for plot spoilers along the way.
