Oh, this is so sad, I was raised on musicals like Annie and Singin' in the Rain. And I practically have The Music Man memorized. I ought to know more of these.

Don't feel too badly, JennaDean...most of the musicals on this list *aren't* "musicals like Annie and singin' in the rain" they're much more obscure.
Now *I* feel badly. clearly too difficult a list.

Is it bad that I now watch movies with the intention of identifying quotable lines just for this game?

Well, since I got the most on Leonide's list, I'll run with one.
My rules: Search is allowed to verify (but be honest). Also, no more than 3 points/3 hours (just to decrease the advantage of seeing it first).
1) You get down there and find the big diamond, or you will never see that teddy again! The Rescuers
2) Are you going to bring me that martini, or do I have to suck it out of the glass from here? The Man Who Knew Too Little
3) Nothing human disgusts me, Mr. Shannon, unless it's unkind, violent. Night of the Iguana
4) -He's a murderer, a hired killer. His nose was bit off in a fight. -If I was gonna be scared, I'd be scared of the fella who bit it off, not him! Cat Ballou
5) -Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? -Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
6) Open the gates and seize the day/Don't be afraid and don't delay nothing can break us, no one can make us/give our rights away Newsies
7) - Jim, didn't I teach you anything? - Yes! You taught me that people will do anything for a potato. Empire of the Sun
8) She's not knock-kneed, Nancy! Summer Magic
9) Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase. Raising Arizona
10) I mean, if I was ever going to buy a desk set... twice! I would probably buy this one, both times! Dead Poets Society
11) Watch for the telltale signs of corruption! The minute your son leaves the house, does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee? Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger? A dime-novel hidden in the corncrib? Is he starting to memorize jokes from Captain Billy's Whiz-Bang? Are certain words creeping into his conversation? Words like "swell" and "so's your old man"? If so my friends, ya got trouble! Music Man
12) Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead? National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
13) -I, uh, have the honor, sir. -And have had for many years, I do believe. All those years living only other men's lives. Dreaming only other men's dreams. What a waste. -Sometimes a man can learn more form other men's dreams than he can from his own. Come visit me, sir, if you wish to improve your education. -I will, and I may improve yours. Something Wicked This Way Comes
14) She had to! She had to push you down to get you loose from the branch, she saved your life Watcher in the Woods
15) -Water polo? Isn't that terribly dangerous? -I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me. Some Like It Hot
16) -Hey, I remember you. Where you been? -Bathroom. -Six weeks? -My zipper got stuck. Summer School
17) He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans. The Jerk
18) I'm sorry. I don't speak... *monkey*! Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events
19) I want the last face you see in this world to be the face of love, so you look at me when they do this thing. I'll be the face of love for you. Dead Man Walking
20) Give her the right look, the right boyfriend, and bam. In six weeks she's being named prom queen. She's All That
21) So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! Spaceballs!

Around page 15 we decided rules could vary with each list. So my rules for this list are written at the beginning of my post. Other lists might vary on the rules.

The only ones I knew where Spaceballs and Robin Hood, but there are some funny quotes on there.

#2: possibly, Nick Charles sure did like martinis, but I was thinking of The Man Who Knew Too Little #15: no.

The game seems to have cooled down a bit, but it's still a tight competition. Here's a second round of hints:
3) A large lizard features minimally in the plot, but significantly in the title.
4) Jane Fonda stars in this comedic western.
7) The young star in this quote is Christian Bale; the other actor is John Malkovich.
8) Burl Ives stars and sings in this seasonal Disney movie set in Buelah, Maine.
13) Based on a Ray Bradbury novel, titled from a quote from Macbeth.
14) If "Narek" didn't give it away, I don't know what will. What did all you kids watch on Halloween, anyway? This is classic kids freak-out faire.

That was Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun?!? God, it's been a while since I've seen that...

I've seen the movie, but never made the connection. And I've never seen Newsies, or at least I don't think I have.

Looking through the quotes I thought to myself, "I should watch this again." It's a pretty fun little movie that (unfortunately) didn't make much of a splash. Although I did see it as a pre-teen, so I might like it significantly less if I were to watch it now.

Sorry, Leonide, I tried with your list while posting my last 2 guesses, I just haven't seen many musicals. The only one I could have (should have) gotten was Rope.

Honestly, I don't have time right now to come back every three hours to add to my guesses. I either guess all at once, or I don't play. I'll continue watching the thread, though, and if we have a "guess all at once round," then I'll play.

Sorry Megan. Hope there are no hard feelings, 'cause I know you would have won if I'd counted all five of your original points. I just got tired of those rounds where someone would hit 7-9 right off the bat and nobody else would have a chance. I thought I'd like to reward persistence a little more and the luck of seeing it first a little less this time.
