Who's Your Favorite Steel Magnolia?

[arwalden]

Can you believe that the movie is fifteen years old already? Fifteen!!
Here are some fun quotes, too...

---

Ouiser: This is it, I've found it, I'm in hell.

---

Truvy: I'm just screamin' at my husband; I can do that anytime.

---

Annelle: Miss Truvy, I promise that my personal tragedy will not interfere with my ability to do good hair.

---

Clairee: They were both high. They were smokin' everything but their shoes.

---

Truvy: When it comes to pain and suffering, she's right up there with Elizabeth Taylor.

---

Shelby: I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.

---

Clairee: Well you know what they say: If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!

---

Ouiser: I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for the past 40 years!

---

Clairee: The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accesorize.

---

M'Lynn: The sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto-Bismal!

---

Shelby: My colors are Blush and Bashful...

---

Truvy: In a good shoe, I wear a size six, but a seven feels so good, I buy a size eight.

---

Ouiser: I don't see plays, 'cause I can nap at home for free. And I don't seemovies 'cause they're trash, and they ain't got nothin' but naked people in 'em! And I don't read books, 'cause if they're any good they're gonna make 'em into a miniseries.

---

Truvy: Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marchin' across your face.

---

Ouiser: What's the matter with you M'Lynn? You got a reindeer up your butt?

---

Clairee: Here! Hit this. Go ahead M'Lynn, slap her!
Truvy: Are you crazy!
Ouiser: Are you high Clairee?
Truvy: Have you lost your mind?
Clairee: We'll do T-Shirts saying I slapped Ouiser Boudreaux. Hit her!
Annelle: Miss Clairee, enough!
Clairee: Ouiser, this is your chance to do something for your fellow man. Knock her lights out M'Lynn!
Ouiser: Let go of me!
Clairee: M'Lynn you just missed a chance of a lifetime. Half of Chinquapin Parish would give their eye teeth to give a whack at Ouiser!
Ouiser: You are a pig from hell.
M'Lynn: Ouiser, don't leave.
Clairee: Ouiser, Ouiser, I was just kidding, come back.
Annelle: That wasn't a very Christian thing to do.
Clairee: Annelle, you've got to lighten up.

1. God I can watch that movie over and over....

Ouiser and Clairee made that movie.

[Chovexani]

2. I've seen that movie like 500 times

Never gets old! I'd have to say Ouiser is my favorite because she reminds me of my insane aunt out in Las Vegas...down to the big huge dog (unfortunately hers passed away years ago).

3. Ouiser !

But it's really almost a tie with Clairee.

Hit this!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Oiuser and Clairee are a two pack. One needs the other.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I love this movie. It came out when I was pregnant with my daughter and

my hormones were out of control. So, I laughed too crazily, and cried uncontrollably...it was one of the better nights of my life. :hi: Thanks for reminding me.

[Red State Rebel]

6. Cry my eyes out every single time....

That movie was an instant classic.

[Lavender Brown]

7. Ouiser

She has the handwriting of a serial killah. :P

[DemWitch]

8. I just love Ouiser...

cantankerous old bitch she is...

"you found out my secret... I'm having an affair with a Mercedes Benz"

"you are evil, and you must be destroyed"

[Obamarama]

9. I love Olympia "Clairee" Dukakis....

Me to Olympia (to borrow a line from her character in the movie): "...I love ya more than my luggage."

[arwalden]

10. One Of My Favorite Scenes Is When They Are In The Locker Room...

... and while Clairee is trying to figure out what precise shade the uniforms color is... Ouiser is using her compact mirror to check out the buns and the meat and potatoes.

11. another great exchange

Ouixer: M'lynn. You're in my prayers.

Annelle: *surprised look*

Ouixer: Yes, Annelle, I pray. Well, there, I said it.

Annelle: I had suspected this all along.

Ouixer: Oh, you had?! Well, don't expect me to go to one of your churches, with people doing god knows what. Prob'ly make me eat a live chicken.

Annelle: Not on your first visit.

Claree: Very good, Annelle. Spoken like a true smartass.

:D

13. Ok that's it!

We have to have a DU viewing! We can all say the lines ala Rocky Horror!

[Hello_Kitty]

12. Clairee. I cannot stand Julia Roberts anyway and Shelby

is my least favorite role of hers of all time.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Another great line.

Truvy (referring to Annelle's husband and Annelle's going overboard with her religion) - He's so confused he doesn't whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt!

15. All gay men have track lightin'. And...

...all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.

[SarahB]

16. Shelby (and only for this quote)

"I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."

I just said this to someone and it's got some heavy duty meaning in my own life at this moment. Probably more than I wish it did. Sometimes, you just know what you know.
