Movie quote from Harry and Tonto (1974) – Harry Coombes (Art Carney)
70-year-old Harry Coombes (Art Carney) did not want to leave his apartment in New York, one he shared with his wife for more than 50 years. Since her death, he clung to his home and his cat Tonto as a cradle of memories from days gone by. When the police forcibly remove Harry from his condemned tenement building, he is left with a sense of homelessness and uncertainty about his future. Fortunately, in the beautiful movie Harry and Tonto, Harry remains open to the changes that life inevitably brings. This openness saves his life.
Friendships develop when individuals share life experiences. They deepen when those experiences are meaningful.
Roy Hobbs joins the hapless New York Knights midway through one of the worst seasons in the team's history. His contributions and genuine love of the game inspires everyone to perform better. Some may say the story of The Natural is another example of sappy and unrealistic Hollywood hype. I know that it is one of life's great ironies that every great team begins its journey to success through the efforts of one inspired and inspiring individual.
A 'family' does not have to be made up of blood relatives. In truth, your family is that defined collection of people who are there to support you, no matter what. For some people, their birth family plays that role. For others, like the young women in 
Dex (Donal Logue) has three rules for being irresistible to women. Given his abundant scorecard, all those who seek multiple bedpartners should take heed. Dex is overweight, over talkative, and terminally semi-employed, yet women continue to end up in his bed. The Tao of Steve is really a way of being cool. Unfortunately, 'cool' becomes hollow over time, even for witty intellects skilled at manipulating human desire.
Alex Hitchens (Will Smith) is a date doctor who teaches lovesick men how to hook up with the woman of their dreams. His basic message is that women want to meet a good man and good men present themselves to women in a certain way. 'Hitch' teaches men how to adjust their persona to become the man she is attracted to. Unfortunately, Hitch doesn't understand there is a much less complicated way to truly get your message across to someone else.
In The Good Shepherd, Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) is a loyal citizen in the secret service of his nation. As a foreign agent, he gives up traditional life to enter the empty world of espionage. For Wilson, loyalty is an obligation not a choice. It is a thankless value that leaves him emotionall numb. No film has better portrayed the tragic emptiness of unquestioned loyalty.
Brief Encounter is the first major motion picture about infidelity.
Before Sunrise is one of my favorite human interaction stories. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is an American traveler on his way to Vienna to catch a flight back home. Celine (Julie Delpy) is a French student on a journey to Paris to attend classes at the Sorbonne. They meet on the train and are attracted to the uniqueness of each other's character. They decide to spend a night together, exploring Vienna and their own souls. What transpires is a great study of how truly good a relationship can be for two dynamic people.
Young children see the world with open eyes, observing each circumstance for what it is.
