Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Steel Magnolias (1989)

Clairee: All gay men have track lighting.
And all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.
In all seriousness, I was just a little budding gay when I first saw this movie and track lighting will forever and always seem SO GAY to me because of it. It really did inform my world view! As did the football locker-room scene.

I remember being 13 and watching the football scene in the theater and I just remember the awkwardness between me and my friend who was gay....ah memories of youth, it was the same theater I saw "Beaches" in like, 4 times.

You know, no matter how cheesy that damn movie is, I will always, always love it.

"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."

What a great movie. 'They'll probably make me sacrafice a live chicken. Not on your 1st visit. Very good Annelle, spoken like a true smart ass'. Some of the best actresses in HWood in 1 movie, oh, and hottie Dylan McDermott. 'Drink your juice Shelby'...
