Spanglish (2004)
As Good as It Gets (1997) 1/2
I'll Do Anything (1994) - It's bizarre to watch a movie and constantly have the feeling it is about to break into song.
Broadcast News (1987)
Terms of Endearment (1983)

I don't own any, but I wouldn't mind having Broadcast News.





They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

Broadcast News (1987)


"Never, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint. Even then, don't come knocking. Or, if it's election night, and you're excited and you wanna celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date has been elected the first queer president of the United States and he's going to have you down to Camp David, and you want someone to share the moment with. Even then, don't knock. Not on this door. Not for ANY reason. Do you get me, sweetheart?"
