13 sounds like a line from The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. Did they ever make that into a movie? I assume Civil Disobedience was never immortalized on the silver screen.

Other hints: 3) Have a very Cary Christmas 4) Bogart and ... Hepburn!? 14) Hepburn and ... Poitier!? (oh, and Tracy) 15) Mining and singing; that's about it. 18) Hmmm...Don't have a good clue for this one. I'll just leave it open and figure someone will get it eventually.

Dang it Raia! You beat me on both 4 and 14. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was driving me nuts because I knew I knew it, but just couldn't place it.

If mining and singing didn't give away #15, I don't know what will. It won 5 Academy Awards in 1941, and is about a small village in turn of the century Wales.
If no one gets it, I'll put out a tiebreaker. Or either Raia or MrSquicky could just put out their own list. I won't be online much today, so if one or the other wants to take the iniative and make a list, that'd be fine with me.

I know its Roddy McDowell's first movie, as a kid. Set in a Welsh mining town. I can picture it, but can't name it.

I'll give credit to Dan for How Green was My Valley. The book is even better than the movie, BTW. The author (Richard LLewellyn) caused an uproar when he revealed that he'd never actually been to Wales, calling into question the authenticity of everything in the book. I was certainly able to get past that, though, and just enjoy a really nice story of family and community.
Judging from Squick and Raia's responses, neither really wants to do a list. Does Javert or Dan want to do one, as the two tied for second place?

If you guys want to wait until either tomorrow night or friday (though most likely friday, to be honest), I'll do it, gladly... otherwise, I'll let someone else who does NOT have finals do it!

Alright, well, nobody said anything, and now I'm home, so here we go... you know the drill, three guesses every three hours:
1) Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes. The house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet and you bet big, then you take the house. "Ocean's Eleven" -BlackBlade
2) Santa Claus's reindeer? Of course I can... let's see, there's Dopey, Grouchy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy, Bashful, Rudolph and Blitzen! You're welcome! "Desk Set" -Dan_raven
3) It should take you exactly four seconds to cross from here to that door. I'll give you two. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -seekingprometheus
4) When it comes to emotions, even great heroes can be idiots. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" -Nighthawk
5) What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody. "The Usual Suspects" -TheGrimace
6) -Now, write your name only. -It's quite a long name. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" -TheGrimace
7) Oh, I love it when I'm nasty. "The Great Mouse Detective" -BlackBlade
8) You'd be surprised how many kings are only a queen with a mustache. "Hans Christian Andersen" -Luet13
9) Lawyers should never marry other lawyers. This is called in-breeding; from this comes idiot children... and more lawyers. "Adam's Rib" -SenojRetep
10) It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces. "Bridget Jones' Diary" -SenojRetep
11) For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius. "Young Frankenstein" -Nighthawk
12) A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it. "Lawrence of Arabia" -Nighthawk
13) -Where precisely were you in the early part of the sixteenth century? -I don't know, but that's not how I was dressed. "How to Steal a Million" -SenojRetep
14) People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print. "Charlotte's Web" -BlackBlade
15) Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Switzerland... he was thrown out of a lot of colleges. "Citizen Kane" -Nighthawk
16) All praises to the Playstation! "Snakes on a Plane" -MrSquicky
17) -You never heard of grits? -Sure I've heard of grits. I just never actually *seen* a grit before. "My Cousin Vinny" -jehovoid
18) Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts. "Mary Poppins" -Nighthawk
19) -You don't need the gun. -Well, that depends on your definition of safe sex. "Golden Eye" -BlackBlade
20) You are a rare woman who lights up a room simply by leaving it. "Kate and Leopold" -Nighthawk

BlackBlade, I know... I'm a bit leery about seeing the next movie, the first one is such a big part of my childhood! About 13... heh, sorry! I suggest you check it out, though, it's one of my favorites.
I'll post a list of clues for remaining ones tomorrow morning, if necessary. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

2) A fun Hepburn movie! 3) The other Hepburn. 8) I'm ___ ____ ______, I've many a tale to tell... 9) Back to the first Hepburn again. 10) This is said in the character's 32nd year of being single. 12) Won seven Oscars in 1962. 13) The two main actors are from #3 and #12. 15) Supposedly the best movie of all time. (According to AFI) 16) Time is tissue! 20) I want more of this... more 1876.

SORRY EVERYONE! My internet died... right now I'm at a cafe, updating this, and hopefully my internet will be back up and running tomorrow, but we'll have to make do with this for now...
Astaril, you're on the right track...
SenojRetep, 2 is wrong, the others are correct... good job!

2) Hepburn AND Tracy 8) Astaril was on the right track with Danny Kaye... 12) Umm... I'm not sure what clues to give this one without giving it away. I could pull my music major card and say Maurice Jarre did the music for it... 13) Also featuring Eli Wallach and Hugh Griffith, as well as Hepburn and the actor from 12... 16) I cannot BELIEVE that nobody has gotten this one yet. You don't get any more clues than the one I gave you last time. I am ashamed of all of you. 20) "We have a saying in the McKay house... shake and shake the ketchup bottle, none'll come out, and then a lot'l!"

Apparently I suck at facilitating the list... since three days later, six of my quotes remain. Right now Nighthawk and BlackBlade are tied for first place... do you want me to just give away the answers? And have them battle over which one of them goes next? Or keep giving clues?
