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".

'I don't know why l did that..'
Said by a soldier in Saving Private Ryan when they were holed up in a church for the night and talking about home. He was talking about how his mum would rush home from her job at the diner to talk to him before he was asleep and like a typical teenage boy he cba'd and would pretend be asleep.. He said it with tears in his eyes and followed by. 'she only wanted to ask me about my day'

A cock, in a frock, on a rock.

The Best Film Ever Made (as any fule kno) is the original Ghostbusters.

The Best Line in the Best Film Ever Made is when Ray, having just been convinced by Peter to remortgage his deceased parents' house to finance the Ghostbusters' setup, asks him how he's going to repay it.

Venkman swigs from a bottle of booze hidden in a brown paper bag, grins, and replies: "I don't know, Ray, I don't know."

(Maybe you had to be there, it's all about the timing.)

'I've been digging holes all my life and I've never missed a depth I've aimed at.'

Armageddon, where Bruce Willis is a miner who is brought in by NASA to save the entire planet from disaster. Grin

'Capitán Vidal: You could have obeyed me!

Doctor: But Captain, to obey - just like that - for obedience's sake... without questioning... That's something only people like you do.'

'The captain has been so good to us... Please, Ofelia, call him father. It's just a word, Ofelia, just a word.'

Both from Pan's Labyrinth, the latter is utterly heartbreaking.

Read the whole thread and not one has said

"You're a smelly pirate hooker"

"BAXTER?! Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee"

"Go Fuck Yourself SAN Diego"

And to add one from The Wedding Singer that I love :

"He's losing his mind.... and I'm reaping all the benefits"
