31 Days of Film - Day 8: Movie you can quote all the lines from...

This is just about any movie I own, really. I'm one of those people that watches movies more than once, but even after one viewing I can pretty much quote the better parts of a movie. So it became a very difficult task to narrow down to a film to choose for today's prompt.

But the weather's been meh and I've been busy working on the computer, so I watched a few random movies this week... and The Help was one of it. Based on the book by the same name, this movie is quite charming - and absolutely hysterical... all the while shining a light on 1960s Jackson, Mississippi.

This movie isn't without its share of controversy. It isn't "ugly" enough for a lot of "Black Rights" folks who think we need to completely vilify the South in every film on the subject matter. I didn't live in that period, so I can't say if it trivialized it or not. All I can say is that it made "the Help" human and opened the eyes of many to how far we still had to go then - and now.

But I digress. I LOVE this movie. It's just so quotable! It's also dangerous for me to watch because I always end up craving fried chicken for days afterwards.
