5 Phrases worth the ticket

Sometimes, when you are at a theater and you watch a movie, there are several phrases, so great and touching phrases, that are, by themselves, worth the ticket. My top 5 list is:

-Adaptation.: "You are what you love, not what loves you"
-Vanilla Sky: "The little things, there's nothing bigger, is there?"
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?"
-Closer:"Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off.. but it's better if you do"
And, well, of course..
-American Beauty: "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

So, which are yours?

Um the best quote in vanilla sky is,

Every moment is a chance to turn it all around. CLASSIC but then again the entire movie was awesomeness.

The line may be ironic, but I still love it.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Wow, this is one of those topics that could be endless if you really thought about it for a few minutes--and listed all of the lines that really caught you in the films you love, hehe! Theres so much great writing, but Ill list a few that I still think of sometimes. For some I had to find the exact wording to make sure it was right, because they gave you the chills the first time you heard them!! These were DEFINITELY worth the price of the movie tickets:

"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning! Smells like...Victory." - Apocalypse Now

"AAAaaaalrighty Then!!" - Ace Ventura

"You see this? This..is my BOOM stick!! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the Sporting Goods Department! Shop smart. Shop S-mart!" - Army of Darkness

"They say Time....is the fire in which we burn. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives." - Star Trek: Generations

"I've seen things people wouldn't believe. Attack Ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams..glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All of those moments, will be lost in time, like tears...in rain." - Blade Runner

"If only I could go down that river...to love her in the wild. Forget the name Smith. I thought it was a dream.....what we knew in the forest. It's the only truth." - The New World

"But the others wait in Casablanca...and wait...and wait...and wait." - Casblanca

And of course, my signature! :D

"Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?" - Corporal Fife, in Malicks' philosophical masterpiece 'The Thin Red Line' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120863/)

One of mine comes not from movies, but from TV. The Office, the American one.

"I so hate what you choose to be."

It reminds me of so many idiots I have to deal with.
