It Happened One Night (1934)
Together
for the first time!

come from a long line of stubborn idiots."

Gone With the Wind (1939)
The
most magnificent picture ever!
"I can't let him go. I can't! There must be some way to bring him back. Oh, I can't think about this now! I'll go crazy if I do! I'll think about it tomorrow. But I must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to do? What is there that matters?... Tara! ... Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day!" |

The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
"Oh, my Dear Friend, my heart was trembling as I walked into the
post office, and there you were, lying in Box 237. I took you out of
your envelope and read you, read you right there."
"Psychologically, I'm very confused... But personally, I don't feel bad at all."
"Well, I really wouldn't care to scratch your surface, Mr. Kralik, because I know exactly what I'd find. Instead of a heart, a hand-bag. Instead of a soul, a suitcase. And instead of an intellect, a cigarette lighter... which doesn't work." |

Casablanca (1942)
They had a date with fate in Casablanca!
"Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to
see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill
of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now...
Here's looking at you, kid." |

Brief
Encounter (1946, UK)
A story of the most precious moments
in a woman's life!
"I'm a happily married woman - or I was, rather, until a few weeks
ago. This is my whole world, and it's enough, or rather, it was until
a few weeks ago. But, oh, Fred, I've been so foolish. I've fallen in
love. I'm an ordinary woman. I didn't think such violent things could
happen to ordinary people."
"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. They'll come a time in the future when I shan't
mind about this anymore. But I can look back and say quite peacefully and
cheerfully how silly I was. No, no I don't want that time to come hither.
I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days."

Pillow Talk (1959)

men who don't end every sentence with a proposition." |
|
|
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Holly Golightly, the craziest heroine who ever crept
between the pages of a best-selling novel!
"You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks
you are by the earrings he gives you."
"OK, life's a fact. People do fall in love, people do belong to each other - because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." |

each other."
-- "Let's let one of the maids do it. I hear the service here is wonderful."
-- "Did
you miss me today?"
-- "No."
-- "Why not?"
-- "Because you called me eight times. I don't talk to you that
much when I'm home."
"I'm trying to get you all hot and bothered, and you're summing up for the jury." |

a woman is thinking. They don't do it very often'." |
