Favourite movie quotes for every year I’ve been alive

I ask you, what is better than movie quotes? Lots of things, but they are at least high on the list of funnest things in the world. Admittedly, members of my family and I take it to a ridiculous level, but sharing favourite lines from stories we love is always cool. And with that, here are my favourites of every year of the last 45.5…

Congratulations Dead Poets Society. This is your week.

And the Oscar goes to…

Best Actress:

Meg Ryan as Sally in When Harry Met Sally. I honestly think she’s a much better actress than we tend to give her credit for.

Best Actor: Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society. He was the obvious choice here, and both Harrison Ford and Sean Connery are in the mix!

Best Quote: “Nazis. I hate these guys.” — Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

One final note: this is one of the few movies that has made me cry. Or at least got me choked up. Others include Rocky, The Glass Castle, Life is Beautiful, Forrest Gump, Jerry Maguire, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and The Pursuit of Happyness.
