Great choices. "The Lion in Winter" is packed with fantastic lines.
Yes it is, Berthold. Great movie.
You picked some wonderful choices. I've never seen The Lion in Winter, but now I'm curious!
Lydia it has a great cast. It is intense.
Great selections. Love the Princess Bride and Fifth Element selections, and clearly I'll have to look up The Lion In Winter.
I love that first quote. It sounds like something I'd say, to be honest. Hahaha. The Fifth Element is such a great movie, too.
Glad you like it, Aymee.
Great selection - loads of Princess Bride quotes this week, think I'm due a re-watch!
My kid and I were talking about Shakespeare today, and how quotable (and full of humor and hidden innuendo) it is.
And, I'm glad to see more "Princess Bride"!
It's a popular movie, Catherine. Full of good quotes.
Shakespeare is just the best, Marianne. So is Princess Bride.
You have a great memory for quotes!!
Thanks, Yogi.
