Thanks for reminding me Senoj. I'm glad to finally win, though without the hints I wouldn't have. I don't have a quote list ready but will start working on it. But I won't promise it will be ready before Wednesday at the earliest, possibly Thursday. If someone else has a list they can post today or Tuesday, be my guest.

1) The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Leon (The Professional)

3) I am not a gun. The Iron Giant
4) The next time I say, "Let's go someplace like Bolivia," let's GO someplace like Bolivia. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5) Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face. Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
6) Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' American History X
7) I got somethin' to say. And then I ain't gonna say no more. He took advantage of me. An' if you fine, fancy gentlemen ain't gonna do nothin' about it, then you're just a bunch of lousy, yella, stinkin' cowards, the - the whole bunch of ya, and your fancy airs don't come to nothin'. Your Ma'am'in' and your Miss Mayellarin' - it don't come to nothin', Mr. Finch, not... no. To Kill a Mockingbird
8) Either you can go to Japan together or in pieces. He fixed you once, he can fix you again. Now get in the box. Toy Story 2
9) Good heavens. Are you still trying to win? The Princess Bride
10) I hope they don't hang you, precious, by that sweet neck. Yes, angel, I'm gonna send you over. The chances are you'll get off with life. That means if you're a good girl, you'll be out in 20 years. I'll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I'll always remember you. The Maltese Falcon
11) There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it. Braveheart
12) A boy's best friend is his mother Psycho
13) You talking about killing? Hmm? Y'all experts? Y'all know about killing? I'd like to hear about it, potheads [takes pipe and inhales drag] Are you smoking this s**t so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this s**t. I am reality. Platoon
14) If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had time to sing *one* song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? Walk the Line
15) *You* won my bet? You presumptuous insect, *I* won it. My Fair Lady
16) - Why would a man leave his apartment three times on a rainy night with a suitcase and come back three times? - He likes the way his wife welcomes him home. Rear Window

Oh boy. 7 is To Kill a Mockingbird (how did I miss the "Mr. Finch reference"?) and 4 is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And while you didn't put a limit, I'll self impose one at this point until I get back from class this evening. Cuz I know 8 as well.
(sorry for the triple post)

Boy, should've added my standard 3/3hrs rule. Didn't expect things to fly off the shelf like that; I thought y'all'd be rusty after a month long hiatus. Six clues remain.

I know SIX of them, this time, and all of them have already been guessed by other people! Drat!
Well, to see if I'm right, and to make myself feel better, I'll post them anyway:
2) Back to the Future 6) American History X 7) To Kill A Mockingbird 9) The Princess Bride 15) My Fair Lady 20) Twelve Angry Men

Curse that Dr. Strangelove he's got the next round regardless of how well anybody does, unless Leonide comes out of the shadows to tie it up.

10) The Maltese Falcon ? 12) Psycho. Thought it was, but wasn't sure. That or I was dejected by knowing six other quotes and being too late.

The soonest I can post is around 8. I'm in class until 6:30 and need some time to make the list (and eat dinner). Since timing does seem to play a part in it, what does everyone think is a fair time for me to post it? As soon as I can? Late tonight? In the morning? In the afternoon? Come up with a consensus and I'll be more than happy to appease.

I was thinking maybe around noon tomorrow would be fair, and that would give me enough time to not stress out over making it and stuff. Does that seem fair to everyone?
