12. Beautiful movie. A tear-jerker, even, at the end.

Sooo much better than the turgid Twilight Zone episode, and much closer to the spirit of Bradbury's story.

9. Loved her in "Bye Bye Birdie".

The movie really screwed up the show, but she did a spectacular job in that role.

13. Ma Kelly!!!

I looooved her in "Johnny Dangerously"

Ma Kelly: Bless the saints, it's an ashtray! I've been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Kelly: I know what you can't say. You wanna get laid. You wanna hump your brains out. Vavoom, vavoom, vavoom!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Kelly: You've gotten to be like a daughter to me and I wanna share somethin' with ya.
Lil: Awww, what's that Mom Kelley?
Ma Kelly: I go both ways.
Lil: Oh.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma Kelly: I love em', but one day I'm gonna knock em' on his ass.

Johnny Dangerously: Whatcha cookin' here ma?
Ma Kelly: Beer.
Johnny Dangerously: With noodles! Great idea!
