All I need to know I learned from the movies

During my latest meditation on trying to find some deeper meaning in my life, I made the mistake of staring in the direction of my DVD shelf. Instead of looking inward, I focused on the movies, and what they all mean to me. So, I have now compiled a list of quotes from my favorite movies...things that I find have meaning (with a little help from the Internet Movie Database):
