Movie Quote of the Day – I’ll Be Seeing You, 1944 (dir. William Dieterle)
Zachary Morgan: I need you, Mary. I want to feel that you need me.
Mary Marshall: Oh, I do. I do.

Movie Quote of the Day – Johnny Guitar, 1954 (dir. Nicholas Ray)
Johnny: There’s nothing like a good smoke and a cup of coffee. You know, some men got the craving for gold and silver, others need lots of land with herds of cattle, and there’s those that got their weakness for whiskey and for women. When you boil it all down, what does a man really need? Just a smoke and cup of coffee.
Movie Quote of the Day – Léon: The Professional, 1994 (dir. Luc Besson)
Stansfield: I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It’s like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin’ and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?
Malky: I couldn’t really say.
Movie Quote of the Day – Mystery Train, 1989 (dir. Jim Jarmusch)
Johnny: Don’t call me Elvis! If you can’t use my proper name, why don’t you try “Carl Perkins, Jr.” or something? I mean, I don’t call them “Sam & Dave”, do I?
Dave: Hey, man. My name is Dave.
Movie Quote of the Day – Brief Encounter, 1945 (dir. David Lean)
Laura Jesson: This can’t last. This misery can’t last. I must remember that and try to control myself. Nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long. There’ll come a time in the future when I shan’t mind about this anymore, when I can look back and say quite peacefully and cheerfully how silly I was. No, no, I don’t want that time to come ever. I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days.
Movie Quote of the Day – Shadows and Fog, 1991 (dir. Woody Allen)
Clown: We’re not like other people, we’re artists. You know: with great talent comes responsibility.
Movie Quote of the Day – Days of Wine and Roses, 1962 (dir. Blake Edwards)
Kirsten: I don’t see how you can drink like that, right out of the bottle. It must taste awful.
Joe: Well, anything worth having is worth suffering for. Isn’t it?
Movie Quote of the Day – Beginners, 2011 (dir. Mike Mills)
Hal: Well, let’s say, when you were little, you always dreamed of some day getting a lion? And you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and the lion doesn’t come. Then along comes a giraffe. You can be alone or you can be with the giraffe.
Oliver: I’d wait for the lion.
Hal: That’s why I worry about you.
Movie Quote of the Day – Kill Bill: Vol. 2, 2004 (dir. Quentin Tarantino)
Bill: Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?
The Bride: Of course he did.
Bill: Why didn’t you tell me?
The Bride: I don’t know. . .because I’m a bad person.
Bill: No. You’re not a bad person. You’re a terrific person. You’re my favorite person, but every once in a while, you can be a real cunt.

Bill: How do I look?
The Bride: You look ready.
Movie Quote of the Day – Kill Bill: Vol. 1, 2003 (dir. Quentin Tarantino)
The Bride: It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that I’m sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin’. When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I’ll be waiting.
