Lines to live by Some movies live on, their agreed-upon greatness chiseled in stone, or at least listed by the American Film Institute. Others, quality be damned, are more like folk art; their greatness is part of our oral tradition. In 2005, the AFI produced a lineup of cinema's 100 best quotes, one that rounded up the ?usual suspects?Casablanca?-style (No. 32 on the AFI list).

His Girl live, A third attempt at my song recommendation-of-the-week, which I hope grows into a regular and regular-on-Sunday feature here.
