THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993) dir. Henry Selick
Would you believe it? This is the first time I’ve ever been alone with a man!
It Happened One Night (1934) dir. Frank Capra
What’s this? What’s this? There’s color everywhere.
What’s this? There’s white things in the air.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) dir. Henry Selick
Aladdin (1992) dir. Ron Clements, John Musker
Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man’s life; a young man who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits… with a dark purpose.
The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

For her 1989 album “Rhythm Nation 1814,” Janet Jackson drew on an already established idea: the dance-based utopia. Lyrically, she was exploring the idea that the right rhythm can intoxicate and control us, and, eventually, unite us as living, breathing, flesh-and-bone humans. The album’s accompanying 30 minute longform music video did just that, with a chair routine that would be imitated for years after.

What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon, Mary.

We’ll always have Paris.
Humphrey Bogart & Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942) dir. Michael Curtiz
Tony Curtis has said that he asked Billy Wilder if he could imitate Cary Grant for his stint as the millionaire in the movie. Wilder liked it and they shot it that way. Apparently, Grant saw the parody of himself and stated, jokingly, “I don’t talk like that!”

George, there’s a call for you. Look, will you get my wife on the phone? She’s probably over at her mother’s. Mrs. Bailey is on the phone.

“How are you?”
101 Dalmatians (1961) dir. Wolfgang Reitherman, Hamilton Luske & Clyde Geronimi
We movie stars get the glory. I guess we have to take the little heartaches that go with it. People think we lead lives of glamour and romance, but we’re really lonely – terribly lonely.
Singin’ in the Rain (1952) dir. Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen
