4 movies that changed my life

1. Legally Blonde - the reason why I went to law school

Professor Callahan: "Do you think she woke up one morning and said: I think I'll go to law school today"

Elle had the right idea.  Law school was ugly-fying.



2. Clueless - expanded my vocabulary to include "whatever", "as if!", "Hello!" and using "way" as an adjective/adverb i.e. "way harsh", "way existential"

Heather: It's just like Hamlet said, "To thine own self be true."
Cher: Hamlet didn't say that
Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.
Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did.



Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign.
Cher: I totally paused.

I was in high school when I saw this movie. After which, a beeper was no longer enough.  I needed a cellphone.


3. The Sound of Music - first time I watched this was when I was 5. And I loved it. So when I was growing up, whenever I got sick and confined to the bed, I watched this movie.

Maria: When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.

The Sound of Music is why I sing and dance.

4. Conan the Barbarian (1982) - my older siblings love teasing me about loving this movie when I was 4 or 5 years old.  I don't remember. But who knows what effect it's had on my psyche?
