Old favs
I dunno quite how it is, but I suddenly remembered an all-time fave movie of mine.
I seldom have faves. I don't like to pick just one thing to have, to like, to read etc.... I try to have a selection of thighs I like, depending on my mood, my state of mind etc.

Tonight, while browsing some friends' blogs and myspace pages I suddenly heard Billy Crystal's voice from the movie City Slickers: "Helleeeeeeew" as he says hello to the cow.
Which got me on to thinking about When Harry Met Sally.
do anyways, but how many of you actually recall I'm not sure how many of you recall that movie. Sure most of you recall the storyline, or most girls the script? That's some great dialogue right there! It's not often I remember movie dialogue, or even care to look it up on the Internet, but this has to be one of the funnies, truest dialogues I have come across in Hollywood movie history... that I can recall anyways.
For this and several other wonderful reasons, this movie is now officially in my All-time Fave Movies listings.

Harry: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No you don't.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: No you don't.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sally: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry: I guess not.
Sally: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.

    Funny you should ask that... I used to think it was possible, when I was younger.... now that I'm all wised up I can tell you that Billy Crystal or rather Harry is a wise man.
    What do you think?
