No, I was actually 100% serious. Unless the point of the movie is character 
development (i.e., the characters develop noticably during the movie) it's 
not something I tend to remember 10 years later about a movie. :-)

That's always good. I think movies (and to some extent books) turn into 
culture in direct proportion to their quotability.

I think Wizard of Oz still wins on that front, tho.
