DAY TWO: A Favorite Movie

Dude. I love movies. A LOT.
A perfect day would consist of me sitting with a snuggie on the couch with people I enjoy, watching all my favorite movies.
I have a lot of favorite movies.
I love all the Harry Potter movies to death, you know that.
I could watch Pixar movies all day if I wanted to.
Or any Disney movie, really.
Aaaannnd I'm a sucker for Veggie Tales. :)
But my FAVORITE movie of ALL TIME is:

A Little Princess (1995)

Miss Minchin: "Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess! Child, look around you! Or better yet! Look in the mirror."
Sara Crewe: "I am a princess. All girl are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags. Even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he??"

Captain Crewe: "You know, dolls make the very best friends. Just because they can't speak doesn't mean they don't listen. And did you know, that when we leave them alone in our room, they come to life?"
Sara Crewe: "They do?"
Captain Crewe: "Yes! But before we walk in and catch them, they return to their places as quick as lightning!"
Sara Crewe: "Why don't they come to life in front of us so we can see them?"
Captain Crewe: "Because it's magic. Magic has to be believed. It's the only way it's real."

Captain Crewe: "What are you doing? Memorizing me by heart?"
Sara Crewe: "No, Papa. I already know you by heart."


{This next one is my favorite quote of all time :) }
Sara Crewe: "You know, it's very hard to study with you going off like this."
Lottie: "I want my mama!!!"
Sara Crewe: "You'll see her soon."
Lottie: "I won't, she's dead! And I'll never see her again!!"
Sara Crewe: "I don't have a mother either."
Lottie: "You don't? ...Where is she?"
Sara Crewe: "In heaven, with my baby sister. But that doesn't mean I can't talk to her. I tell her everything. And I know she hears me."
Lottie: "How?"
Sara Crewe: "Because that's what angels do."
Lottie: "Your mama's an angel?"
Sara Crewe: "Of course. And so is yours. With beautiful wings of silk, and a crown of baby rosebuds! And they all live together, in a castle. And you know what it's made of?"
Lottie: "What?"
Sara Crewe: "Sunflowers! Hundreds of them, so bright, they shine like gold. And when the angels want to go someplace, they just whistle, like this! *She whistles* And a cloud floats to the castle, and picks them up. And the angels fly through the sky, riding the cloud like a magic carpet, under the moon and through the stars, until they're hovering right above us. ...That's how they can look down and see if we're all right. And sometimes, they even send messages to us. But of course, you can't hear the messages if you're kicking and screaming as loudly as you were. But they always try again, just in case we've missed it!"

If you haven't watched A Little Princess (The 1995 version, it's the best one), you need to. There are parts that make you feel warm and fuzzy, there are sad parts, there are funny parts, and there are parts where you're on the edge of your seat. Bah! It's my favoritest.

The end.
