Why Steel Magnolias is my favorite movie.

So whenever something I'm not quite sure of happens in my life, I tend to watch Steel Magnolias relatively soon thereafter.  And then, some days I just watch it because I love it.  There's just something about this movie that calms me down, and makes me realize that every thing's okay, or going to be okay somehow.  

"It's not your fault, M'Lynn.  I used to think that you were crazy for marrying that man.  Then I thought for a few years that you were just a glutton for punishment.  Now I realize you must be on some mission from God."

"Ouiser never done a religious thing in her life."

"Now that is not true.  When I was in school, a bunch of my friends and I would dress up as nuns and go bar hopping."

"A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste."

"I do not see plays, because I can nap at home for free.  And I don't see movies 'cause they're trash, and they got nothin' but naked people in 'em!  And I don't read books, 'cause if they're any good, they're gonna make 'em into a miniseries!"

"I'd recognize this penmanship anywhere.  You have the handwriting of a serial killer."

"I'm not crazy M'Lynn!  I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!"

"Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."
