Seymour's your friend - Suddenly Seymour, by Ellen Greene & Rick Moranis

Yup, I started a post with lyrics from Little Shop of Horrors. I am writing about the greatness of this movie. I know every song by heart, and I'm singing along as I type.

I first saw this movie years back when I lived in California, and I have loved it since. It's one of the first movies I really related to. Rick Moranis does his character perfectly, and I see a lot of myself in him. The bumbling fool who wants nothing more than to make Audrey (Ellen Greene) happy. Seymour is exaggerated, of course, the whole movie is, but deep down it's a really touching story. It was one of the main movies that I watched when my dreams of wanting a family were starting to form (which today, is my main goal in life).

The song, Suddenly Seymour, still gets to me to this day, and I always sing along at the top of my lungs. Even the parts where Ellen sings. The part where she hits her true singing voice is so full of power, it gives me goosebumps. The song is about to start, so I must go now. /warms up his voice
