I've just watched Marley & me for about the 10th time and it still makes me cry even though I know most of the dialogue by now! It got me thinking about how certain films and lines stay close to your heart for different reasons... this films always reminds me of my childhood dog who we had for 12 years, his name was Shep and we loved him dearly... everyday there he would be waiting for us when we got off the school bus wagging his tail to greet us, even when he got old and weary we could rely on him to be there waiting in his usual place in rain, hail or snow! He really was a part of the family. Anyway my favourite lines from this film are "A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his".

‘You must never be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling’ - Inception

‘I’m not locked in here with you - you’re locked in here with me!’ - Watchmen

‘And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you? How DARE you come to me now, when I am this’ - The Last Unicorn (brilliant book, the movie is true to the story and beautifully animated with an excellent cast).

@AmandaBuffamonteezi ... I remember being upstairs and hearing my dad howling with laughter, so went to investigate. He was watching that film and that scene. Just brought back happy memories x

The one that gets quoted a lot in our family is ‘You are a mean girl’ from Mean Girls. The quote is actually, ‘You are a mean girl. You’re a bitch’ but we don’t normally add that last bit. We don’t need to - the recipient knows what we mean!!

I'll be your friend until time stops - Precious Bane.

I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything you want.

I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me (I said this a lot to my Mum as a teenager)

Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

If you can, please put the name of film. Makes me want to find the film and watch from some of these lines alone.

I'm not even supposed to be here today! - Clerks - Used almost daily when I walk into work.

I love you. I know. - Star Wars - Me and the HTB say this to each other most of the time

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip. - American Psycho - Not one I use, but I love the film

FooFighter99 · 05/12/2018 15:58

"did you say hello?"
