You Must Remember This...

Okay. The title of the song is "As Time Goes By". I couldn't go to sleep so I pulled out this DVD which has been one of my favorite movies ever since I saw it during finals week, first semester of my first year in college. Don't ask; it has been a tradition at UT San Antonio to watch this movie at least once during finals week. Apparently, the tradition started at Harvard and has spread around college/university towns all over. That may have helped in the enduring status of the movie.

From this movie comes some of the best lines ever written:

"Here's looking at you, kid."

"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"Round up the usual suspects."

"We'll always have Paris."

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

"Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake."

The story revolves on the question of what can we give up for the person whom we love and whom we can never have. I often wonder what I would be capable of...
