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".

There's so many but the first to mind were

"Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Make a note of this, dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow"

And oddly, "Hey baby, have you ever had your arsehole licked by a fat man in an over coat?"

Captain Corelli's Mandolin....

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your root was so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. that is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

Favourite heart felt quote - "Being gay is your thing. There are parts of it you have to go through alone. I hate that. As soon as you came out, you said, "Mom, I'm still me." I need you to hear this: You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease and who your father depends on for just about everything. And you're the same brother who always complements his sister on her food, even when it sucks. You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in... in a very long time. You deserve everything you want."

Favourite thought inspiring quote - "HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
‘Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little -’
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
‘So we can believe the big ones?’
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "

Favourite funny quote - "OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR?"

Also so many from Brooklyn 99 and Friday Night Dinner such as :

Shit on It, Shit on the Shitting Thing
