> {quote:title=Dothery wrote:}{quote}Another Christopher Reeve movie just came to mind ... "Somewhere in Time." That has a glorious sound track. A friend sent it to me when it first came out and I still have it, in addition to the DVD. The music is wonderful and fits perfectly with the romantic time-travel story.
Yes, SIT is definitely one where the movie scenes and music really get to you. There are many moments that tug at my heart in that wonderful film, but the one that gets the tears welling up is when Elise is walking on the hotel lawn, thinking she has lost Richard and then looks up to see him on the veranda. The way the music is and the way her voice cracks as she shouts, "Richard!" and they run to each other...gets to me even as I just think about it.
Another film and its music, not mentioned yet, that ALWAYS gets me blubbering is *Fanny* (1961).
Leslie Caron and Horst Buchholz gave their best performances in this film, IMO.

Play It Again, Sam had a lot of great lines. One of my favorites:
(The ghost of Bogart talking to Allen Felix (Woody Allen) before a blind date)
Bogart: And don't get nervous. The only bad break you could get is if she turns out to be a virgin...or a cop.
Allen: With my luck, she'll turn out to be both.
