Daily as a child, I watched Pretty Woman. This amazing romantic comedy was pivotal in my development as a young gay boy. I watched it so much, the film in the cassette deteriorated from overuse. I was obsessed. To celebrate Pretty Woman's 25th anniversary, I have compiled my top ten favorite quotes from the rags to riches romantic comedy starring a young Julia Roberts and a handsome Richard Gere.
