Those on my friends list who bothered did an excellent job on my 17 Movie Quotes meme, but even the collective brain managed to miss one.

So, as they used to say on some game show [1], I'm turning over all the cards, and I'm providing the answer for the one movie which was missed:

5) A man tells so many stories, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.

That is the summary line from Tim Burton's gorgeous and Wonder-ful meta-fairy-tale, Big Fish.

Here's a paraphrase I also wanted to use, but couldn't be sure of the exact wording:
Josephine: Your son will tell your story.
Ed Bloom: No he won't. He'll screw it up by getting all the facts straight.

Everyone but [livejournal.com profile] rmd should get this movie on their short list. ([livejournal.com profile] rmd has expressed a dislike for movies about estranged fathers and sons reconnecting.)


[1] You can help redeem yourselves by identifying which game show said this.
