Remember what John and Paul said.

Listening to my wife Sandi’s crazy quotes got me thinking about great movie quotes. We were watching “The Long Kiss Good Night” (1996) with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. This movie has some really memorable quotes but not particularly inspirational ones so here’s a few from the movie “Michael”, coincidentally also made in 1996 (good year for movies?). Remember that flick with John Travolta playing the arch angel Michael living on earth, chasing women, drinking beer, etc? Great movie! I love it and Phenomenon as well, possibly two of Travolta's best.

Michael: Remember what John and Paul said.
Frank Quinlan: The apostles?
Michael: No, the Beatles. All you need is love.

Michael: You gotta learn to laugh, it's the way to true love.

Michael: Hey, what's the opposite of white?
Frank Quinlan: Black.
Michael: No. Yolk.

Entertainment and great advice... How can you beat that?

Michael (1996)

Frank Quinlan and Huey Driscoll, two reporters from a Chicago-based tabloid, along with Dorothy Winters, an 'angel expert', are asked to travel to rural Iowa to investigate a claim from an old woman that she shares her house with a real, live archangel named Michael. Upon arrival, they see that her claims are true - but Michael is not what they expected: he smokes, drinks beer, has a very active libido and has a rather colourful vocabulary. In fact, they would never believe it were it not for the two feathery wings protruding from his back. Michael agrees to travel to Chicago with the threesome, but what they don't realise is that the journey they are about to undertake will change their lives forever.

Check out IMDB for more info on Michael and watch it if you get a chance. I think you'll enjoy it.
