Movie Quote of the Day is One Year Old Today!
In celebration of Movie Quote of the Day’s One Year Anniversary, I have compiled all of the movie quotes into one handy list. Keep in my computer was out of commission for about five days last October, so it’s not quite 365 movies, but there aren’t any repeat films! After the cut I’ve linked to all of the MQotDs from the past year. Enjoy!

But I hate to even think about it. She needs me. It . . .it’s not as if she were a. . .a maniac . . .a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes.
