My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)

Yesterday, I got up thinking of a song. I knew that it starred Julia Roberts, and I struggled to remember the movie. Then it came back to me – the song is “I say a little prayer” from the OST of “My Best Friend’s Wedding.”

Do you remember the picturisation of this song?

The lyrics go this way. I like the idea of praying for a loved one. Once a day is good enough though? 

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little prayer for you

While combing my hair now

And wondering what dress to wear now

I say a little prayer for you

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever and ever, we never will part

Oh, how I love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear

While riding I think of us, dear

I say a little prayer for you

At work I just take time

And all through my coffee break time

I say a little prayer for you

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever and ever we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling, believe me

(Believe me)

For me there is no one but you

Please love me too

(Answer his pray)

And I'm in love with you

(Answer his pray)

Answer my prayer now, babe

(Answer his pray)

Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever and ever we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me

Fight Club (1999)

This is a violent film, and has some fine performances from the lead actors. There are quotes that are thought-provoking, and outright funny. Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden, Edward Norton plays the unnamed narrator and Helena Bonham Carter plays Marla Singer.

Tyler Durden: "Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"
This is really the reason why I hate seats other than aisle seats while flying.

Tyler Durden: "It’s only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
My interpretation of this quote will take some time in getting expressed.

Tyler Durden: "Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
This line almost made me cry. It is so deprecating of the human race that it hurts. How does one respond to such cynicism and not get damaged in the process?

Remember the cute Anjali from “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai?”

After over a decade, she has appeared in “Student of the Year”. I kept telling the sibling that it is the same girl, and Wiki confirmed that it is indeed Sana Saeed. This has been an interesting transformation, and she has now featured in two movies that have raked in the moolah.
