Yeah, go ahead. I don't have the time. I think it's a tie anyway, but I don't have the time to deal with it.

Quick things to try to help the game continue on. If I don't update who is in the lead within a day of the last guesses, the person who is currently in the lead is allowed to take control without my updating.
I've tried to make the quotes a variety of movies in both genre and their age. Also some quotes are meant to be harder than others, but we'll see how it turns out. So have at it.
1. “You know what the difference between you and a rich man is? A rich man has money, and you don’t. Now if you were smart you’d ask yourself why.” Rubin and Ed (No answer)
2. “I am the only free man on this train, and the rest of you are cattle!” Dr Zhivago (Boris)
3. “To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.” -- Equillibrium (Dr Strangelove)
4. “Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?” A Beautiful Mind (libertygirl)
5. “I always wanted a son, but I wanted one a little younger than myself.” -- Fiddler on the Roof (Leonide)
6. “Thanks for the couch. Um... Mike made me sleep under the sink.” Benny and Joon (Boris)
7. “Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back.” Gladiator(Dr Strangelove)
8. “Mr. President, this is an election year. If you're looking for female companionship, we can make certain arrangements that will ensure total privacy.“ ”I don't want you to get me a girl, A.J.! What is this, Vegas? “ ”No sir, this is the White House.” -- The American President (Leonide)
9. “You are such a good boy. You sleep now. Dream sweet dreams. Maybe we are both dreaming. Maybe this is all a dream, and in the morning, Mommy will wake us up with milk and cookies. Then, after we eat, I will make love to her four or five times. If I can.” -- Life is Beautiful(Leonide)
10. ”No, this is Mount Everest. You should flip on the Discovery Channel from time to time. But I guess you can't now, being dead and all.” ”I'm dead?“ ”Naw, I'm just messing with ya.” ”That's not funny, Man! That is not funny.” -- Bruce Almighty (Lyrhawn)
11. “No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!” -- Finding Forrester (cmc)
12. “And what is it that I am meant to have wrote?... Written… <scoffs>” -- Phantom of the Opera (Leonide)
13. “What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?” -- The Lion King (libertygirl)
14. “See children? Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable! But that my dear children. is called cannibalism; and that is frowned upon in most societies” -- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (libertygirl)
15. “I heard the music of true forgiveness filling the theater, conferring on all who sat there, perfect absolution. God was singing through this little man to all the world, unstoppable, making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar.” -- Amadeus (Leonide)
16. “What difference does it make where you buy underwear? What difference does it make? Underwear is underwear! It is underwear wherever you buy it! In Cincinnati or wherever!” Rain Man (JennaDean)
17. “If I die, I will die well dressed!” -- The Patriot(Lyrhawn)
18. “I wonder if they’re the miners.” “Yeah, they do look like little kids.” “Miners not minors!” “… You’ve lost me.” Galaxy Quest Dr Strangelove
19. “We got the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did we go right?” -- The Producers (Leonide)
20. “Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives I’ll smash it with a hammer!” -- The Emperor's New Groove (Jeesh)
EDIT: And to try to keep competition, shall we say you may guess three at a time/per hour?

These movies all have something in common to me -- that is, they were all movies I loved growing up. My father had taped them off of television or rented them and made a copy -- most are much older, consequently. Some are not. A lot of them have plenty in common....a few don't have anything in common with the others. So it's a mish-mesh. Some of these movies are obscure enough that even though I watched them a ton growing up, i don't rightly expect that all of them will be easily guessed. I will give clues in a bit, to try to keep the game rolling.
1) “I feel sorry for men who don't knit, they lead empty lives.” -How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
2) “First I want to hear the story of your life. Everything that's ever happened to you since you were so high. And then I want to know what you eat for breakfast, what's your favorite color, what comic strips you read. Then we'll talk about shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, and shows. Farms. Families. Oh it may take hours. Weeks. Years. I want to know everything.” -Summer Stock
3) “'Fanny' is Thannual H. Peabody, just the kind of man I've been looking for, lots of money and no resistance.” -Golddiggers of 1933
4) “Let me guess. You're a French aristocrat, she's a simple girl of the people, and she won't even give you a tumbrel. Hah!” -Singin' in the Rain
5) “Sure, but what’s more important it's termite proof. Wait 'til you see it, they tell you how to furnish it too. No rugs or carpets, they're just dust collectors...Linoleum through the whole house, wait until you see the pictures, it's sleek and smooth easy to keep clean... well it's like every room in the house was a Bathroom!” - State Fair
6) “What the devil is the matter with you? You're in love with the girl and she's in love with someone else. This sort of thing happens all the time; people don't *die* of love. You'll recover... But meanwhile can't you be civilized about it?” -Lili
7) “Good and evil, right and wrong were invented for the ordinary average man, the inferior man, because he needs them.” -Rope
8) “They started out by calling me Thomas, but when they, um, got to know me better, they changed it to Thomasina.” -The Three Lives of Thomasina
9) “A girl dancer has to be exotic; she has to be - a peach.” “I suppose I’m a lemon!” -Easter Parade
10) “Psychologically, I'm very confused, but personally I feel just wonderful.” -In the Good Old Summertime
11) “Right up to this minute, my only claim to fame: you were once my girl.” -Me and My Gal
12) “She's got it comin' to her and I don't mean a week in the lap of luxury!”-Annie
13) “You start worrying about your kids the day they're born, and you never stop. Even after they bury you, I bet you never stop worrying.” -There's No Business Like Show Business
14) “Oh, Miss Higgins! You're the prettiest manager in baseball.” - Take Me Out to the Ballgame
15) “Take that boy on the street. Teach him to blow a horn and he'll never blow a safe.” -Strike up the Band
16) “Oh, if you killed her, I'll kill you! I'll stab you to death in your sleep, then I'll tie your body to two wild horses until you're pulled apart.” -Meet Me in St. Louis
17) “I’m highly attracted to you. Why, when I look at you I feel wee tadpoles jumping in my spine!” -Brigadoon
18) “Back home everyone said I didn't have any talent. They might be saying the same thing over here but it sounds better in French.” - An American in Paris
19) “Marriage is not forbidden to us, but instead of getting married at once, it sometimes happens we get married at last.” - Gigi
20) “I'm going to march in the 14th street parade with the only kind of people I can trust: 700 men.” -Hello Dolly ____________ Seatersprayan -- 1 SenojRetep -- 5 happymann -- 1
CLUES 2) My favorite romantic musical from growing up, not well known. Stars the director of Hello Dolly and someone Judy Davis did a fair impression of. 3) This is a fun ensemble movie, with just about the most vapid starring actress to grace the screen...clearly an early, say, Jessica Simpson. But not so trampy. Has a wonderful Pig Latin song in it. 6) This is the quote that was first a movie with a few songs in it (not a musical, though) that was then made into a broadway musical. There are puppets 9) There's a great dance number in this one where the lead male prances around a toy shop, playing different toys like instruments. Very fun. 10) Now that i think about it, this isn't actually a musical either, though it was ALSO made into a stage musical after it's release! This is a close, close second to number 2 as my favorite romantic movie of the time. Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, eat your hearts out! (that's a clue!)
that's all i have time for right now, give them another shot!

Okay - so I might have just gypped myself of getting one (which is okay with me), but what exactly are the rules of looking things up? I didn't plug a quote in, I plugged something related to it in to see if I was on the right track?

I don't think a consensus was reached in regards to that...some people felt that you should be allowed to verify a hunch, others thought that the verification process meant you didn't *really* recognize the quote, so it shouldn't count. For a round like this, where i know the quotes are going to be harder, i'm leaning towards allowing the checking.

all but three of these quotes are from movie musicals, and one of three left over eventually was made into a broadway musical.(even though the movie itself is not actually a musical)

Well that explains why I can't name any of them.
