Academy award Quote by Stephanie Perkins
““Wanna go to the movies? They're showing It Happened One Night at Le Champo." Just because I haven't gone out doesn't mean I haven't pored over the glorious Pariscope. "They're showing what? And I'm not gonna tell you how badly you just butchered that theater's name." " It Happened One Night. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.Won five Academy Awards.It was a big deal." "In what century?" "Ha ha. Honestly, you'll like it. I hear it's great." Rashmi rubs her temples. "I don't know. I don't really like old movies. The acting is so, 'Hey buddy,ol' pal. Let's go wear our hats and have a big misunderstanding.””

We're like, 'Why do we have to go and see the genre every single time with the girl on the back of the frame…” quote by Charlize Theron](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d0c/charlize-theron-1430_cinema_i-think-it-s-such-a-misconception-that-w_235878.jpg)
![“I find suggestion a hell of a lot more provocative than explicit detail.
