Do you remember that time when...?

"In a sort of way, She made me do it." I started with the idea of this blog a couple of years ago, as I decided to make my own collection of quotes, thoughts, dialogues or speeches, taken from films that I thought were meaningful or worthy of being remembered. The title of "Do you remember that time when...?" comes from the conception that some movies define us, in a sort of way, providing us with new experiences our everyday lives would hardly manage to. I take this site as a manner of helping me remember the way I felt while those "experiences" were conceived. On the other hand, I consider myself as one who enjoys a good old-fashioned silent moment every now and then, when life simply shuts up, in not an unconfortable but a pleasant way, and allows you to extend that couple of seconds and delight to such a splendid experience. You surely know what I am talking about. Regular themes: Beauty | Death | Destiny | Dreams Farewell | Friends | God | Happiness Kids | Life | Loneliness | Love Magic | Metaphor | Motivational | Musical Nostalgia | Sad | Silly | Smile Or, if you prefer, films are arranged by decade of release: 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s | 2010s
