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".

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Ferris Beueller's Day Off.

From The English Patient:
Of course, you idiot. I always wear it. I’ve always worn it. I’ve always loved you.

Cue sobbing...

Tom Hardy in Bronson: “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CUUUNT!” Grin

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when asked what her name is: “What do you want it to be?”

But my ultimate favourite that makes me cry like a baby ever time without fail is the little chunk of dialogue between Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan in the Green Mile when John’s execution is fast approaching:

Paul Edgecomb: On the day of my judgement... when I stand before God... and he asks me why did I... did I kill one of his true... miracles... what am I going to say? That it was my job? It's my job.
John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time. Can you understand?
Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John, I think I can
Sad

You're ALL individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...

It was a very proud moment when both DC laughed at this. Grin

The final court room scene in My Cousin Vinny.

Vinny and his fiancée were continuing a row and he asks the judge if he can question the expert witness as hostile.

From the introduction of Miss Mona Lisa Vito, an unemployed hairdresser, as an expert in general automotive knowledge, to her demolition of her fiancé's defence of the two defendants and getting them acquitted at the same time, it's smart, ingenious and produces a gorgeous deadpan performance from Fred Gwynne as the judge.
