OMG I can’t begin to tell you how many times a day I quote this movie!!My dad knows it and so does my cousin. We have a small dairy farm in northeast Wisconsin. Ironically, right now, we have a cow named Maggie! 😉 Everytime a storm rolls in I say “well, this is where we find out if we were meant to be Cowboys.” The list goes on and on and on - an amazing movie. When Woodrow carves the sign for Deetz, it always chokes me up. Everything he says could be said about my grandfather. I was lucky enough to farm with him every day of my life for 43 years. He passed away at age 95! And when they want to go and see all the clear land before it gets built up with churches & School houses - I can relate. It makes me sad to see farmland sold and turned into a suburb. And ironically, I do hate money even more than I hate fun lol.
