Favorite Movie Quotes

I readily admit I am not a movie watcher. The last time I sat my butt in a theater was in 2005 --Batman the Beginning or whatever it was called. (It was awful) I prefer true crime TV, documentarties, and drama sitcom (is that the right word?) But I do try to catch the good movies when they come out on cable or HBO or when someone forces me to watch. My reasons for not going to the movies are simple: I pay too damn much for cable and I can't mulit-task in a theater. Selfish but true.

Great quotes often come from movies -& I am a quote Diva so I thought I would list my favs...

Eve's Bayou, 1997
Mozelle Batiste Delacroix: Life is filled with goodbyes, Eve, a million goodbyes, and it hurts every time. Sometimes, I feel like I've lost so much, I have to find new things to lose. All I know is, there must be a divine point to it all, and it's just over my head. That when we die, it will all come clear. And then we'll say, "So that was the damn point." And sometimes, I think there's no point at all, and maybe that's the point. All I know is most people's lives are a great disappointment to them and no one leaves this earth without feeling terrible pain. And if there is no divine explanation at the end of it all, well... that's sad.

One hand is always fighting the other hand; and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But, hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's the devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's down. Left-Hand Hate K.O.ed by Love.
