Crossing Delancey - 1998

Isabelle's life revolves around the New York bookshop she works in and the intellectual friends of both sexes she meets there. Her grandmother remains less than impressed and decides to hire a good old-fashioned Jewish matchmaker to help Isabelle's love-life along. Enter pickle-maker Sam who immediately takes to Isabelle. She however is irritated by the whole business, at least to start with.

Quote (source - IMBd):
Isabelle 'Izzy' Grossman: [Objecting to a surprise appointment with a matchmaker] Excuse me, but I don't know what you think you're doing.
Bubbie Kantor: First you'll listen, then you'll talk.
Hannah Mandelbaum: Very nice, very nice girl. She lives by her parents?
Bubbie Kantor: Naaaah, they live in Florida with Red Buttons. All the social security checks under one roof - you can have it.
Hannah Mandelbaum: So, Isabella, you got your own apartment?
Bubbie Kantor: Naaaaah, she lives alone in a room, like a dog. A dog should live alone, not people... a dog.
Isabelle 'Izzy' Grossman: It is not a room, it's an apartment, a very nice apartment. You know, you've been there, there's a bedroom, a bathroom...
Bubbie Kantor: Sure, with bars on the windows like a prison. Someone should crawl in at night I'm always thinking.
Isabelle 'Izzy' Grossman: Stop thinking.

I love this little movie - so sweet and warm! It takes me into a whole different world about which I knew nothing - so it is like a foreign movie to me. I have it on cassette and would certainly buy the DVD if I came across it.
