1. Take a look at a castle. Any castle. Now break down the key elements that make it a castle. "The Last Castle", SenojRetep 2. Do not shush me, and spare him. Be gone! Go! "A Knights Tale", Vadon 3. The last time that bear ate a lawyer, he had the runs for thirty-three days. The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean 4. I am NOT the Messiah! "Life of Brian", Nighthawk 5. Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it? "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", Nighthawk 6. Float away, little butterfly. Just flutter away. I got a gig in Vegas. And the wastelands ain't no place for kids. Six String Samurai 7. Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty. "Zoolander", TheGrimace 8. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened... It's a *friendly* call. Of course it's a friendly call... Listen, if it wasn't friendly... you probably wouldn't have even got it... "Dr. Strangelove" (I couldn't resist...hehe), Nighthawk 9. If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her. "The Butterfly Effect", SenojRetep 10. How about that? It's a Mexican standoff. Only we ain't got no Mexicans. "Shanghai Noon", Lyrhawn 11. Who do you think kidnapped us, Uraguay or Chad? "Cats and Dogs", Nighthawk 12. He won't bother you if you're in the fetal position...

"Batman Begins", Nighthawk 20. I'm sorry, I thought you were Triple G. Or are you the Bandit? "Hoodwinked", Lyrhawn
4: Life of Brian 5: Robin Hood: Men in Tights 8: Dr. Strangelove (Go figure...) 15: Young Frankenstein 19: Batman Begins. My first thought was the videogame Gun.
Others I'm not sure about. I'll probably think of one at 3am in the morning and wake up my whole family because of it.

I'm done; looked up the rest. Frankly, I'd be really surprised if anyone else gets the rest, especially the comparatively older ones.

I'm surprised no one got #18, 12 Angry Men. I came in late, I would have gotten 5 others, giving me a score of 6! But would haves don't pay the bills.

Alrighty, I'll give it until tomorrow night, then post the answers to the remaining ones. Unless Lyrhawn has some tricks up his sleeve, it looks like Nighthawk has it. Prepare your list!

I can't believe no one got "Harvey" from my list! That movie should be mandatory viewing. It's freakin awesome. I don't think I know any of these that haven't already been guessed.

I expected this forum to get a lot more answers than you have so far, considering most of the movies fit in to this crowd. Guess there's only a select few that come in here.
And, Javert, you didn't like The Running Man? I mean, it's not Citizen Kane, but still...

Ecthalion: Reluctantly, I'm going to give you #6, because I can't bring myself to say a flat out "no", and any comment of partial answer will make it too easy for others.
I'll give #1 an hour or so more. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody gets it; doesn't look like the type of crowd.

...my roommate just gave me the answer to number 1. That being said, if I post it, I'll only force a tie...what should I do? I bow to your wisdom, Nighthawk.

Well, I don't know what to do in a tie situation. Who started this thing?
In other threads, such as music quotes threads, I've generally gone the way of the person that hasn't done it before. Right now I don't have the time to plow through 17 pages to see if either one of you did.
Ecthalion got his fifth point by giving a partially correct title; you'd be getting your fifth point through a third party and not from direct, personal knowledge. So I'm still at a loss.
So, if you want to post it and you're correct, I'll make it a coin flip. Call it in the air.
