Great tidbit, kasept. I've forgotten 99% of the movie scenes I've seen, but that little piece from Mary Poppins was wonderful.
Likewise with that quote from Tom Joad, ArlJim. It's been decades since I read Grapes of Wrath, but those lines are still fresh in my mind, while most books I read last year are entirely forgotten.
