Wow... for some reason when I was reading the quotes I skipped 5. That's one of my favorite musicals.

2) First a successful play (based on a much MORE successful play), then a wonderful movie, if people haven't seen this they should check it out today.
14) Much of this Claire Daines movie takes place in a Thai prison.
18) A country club, a sports car dealership, lots of card playing, and learning the importance of family, honesty and integrity, all in one short summer. Plus, Matt Dillon.

Usually the winner puts up the next list. I'd give Jon 24 hrs to put something up, or for him to cede the right to you. After that, I'd say it's free rein.

1) -Twenty pounds now and then will amply discharge my promise to my father, you are quite right. -Indeed. Although to say the truth, I am convinced within myself your father had no idea of your giving them money. -They will have five hundred a year amongst them as it is – -And what on earth could four women want with more than that? Their housekeeping will be nothing at all, they will have no carriage, no horses, hardly any servants, and will keep no company. Only conceive how comfortable they will be! (Sense and Sensibility)
2) -What if your home – what if your family – what if your dope was on fire?? -Impossible, sir. It’s in Johnson’s underpants. (Breakfast Club)
3) -Ask me anything, I’ll tell you the truth. -Best shag you’ve ever had. -Brittney Spears. …. Only joking. She was rubbish. (Love Actually)
4) -I have you down for several violations… speeding, resisting arrest, driving without a license, driving a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen tree – where’s the tree? -We planted it. -Is this your shovel? -No. -Possession of a stolen shovel… (Harold and Maude)
5) –Ever been to Wisconsin? -No. -Well they have some of the coldest winters around, and I grew up there, near Chippewa Falls. Once when I was a kid, me and my father went ice-fishing out on Lake Wissota – ice-fishing is where you chop a hole in the – -I know what ice-fishing is! -Sorry…Just you look like kind of an indoor girl. Anyway, I went through some thin ice, and I’m telling ya… water that cold – like that right down there – it hits you like a thousand knives all over your body. You can’t breathe, you can’t think – at least not about anything but the pain. Which is why I’m not looking forward to jumping in after you. But like I said, I don’t see a choice. I guess I’m kinda hoping you’ll come back over the rail and get me off the hook here. (Titanic)
6) ARGG! SHE ALWAYS WINS! … Don’t pick it up. STOP PICKING IT UP! 7) –So you gonna ride shotgun with me, help me fly? -That’s the plan. -Think you can work out… Okay… Clearly some aptitude for the… It ain’t all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flying is? Well I suppose you do, since you already know what I’m about to say. -I do. But I like to hear you say it. (Serenity)
8) Listen, I need to get to the East Australian Current… -Dude – you’re riding it, dude! Check it out! (Finding Nemo)
9) Almighty Lord, word of God the father of Jesus Christ, God and Lord of all creation who gave to your holy apostle the power to tramp underfoot serpents and scorpions. Grant me, your unworthy servant, pardon for all my sins, and the power to confront this cruel demon… (The Exorcist)
10) -You don’t understand. We charted the boat. We’re going fishing. And that’s all there is to it. -You better quit on this. They’ll throw you in the can again, you know? -No, they won’t. We’re nuts! (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
11) Thirteen months to the day since [he] sent us on our long journey, we found ourselves looking on a familiar sight. We were home. How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when if your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold. (Return of the King)
12) –Look, I don’t think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying ‘Jehovah’! -You’re only making it worse for yourself! -Worse?? How could it be worse?? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah! -I’m warning you. If you say Jehovah once more – right, who threw that? Come on, who threw it? -She did! It was her! -Was it you? -Yes. -Right! -Well, you did say ‘Jehovah’! -Stop it! Stop, will you?! Stop it! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Do you understand? Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they DO say ‘Jehovah’! (Life of Brian)
13) –Why is it, would you say, that some people seem to get whatever they want in life? Everything they touch turns to gold. Whereas others can strive and strive… and have nothing. I wonder, do you believe in luck? Do you believe that some men are lucky, and some men aren’t, and there’s nothing they can do about it? -I believe in love. Not just getting it. Giving it. I think as long as you can love somebody, whether or not they love you, then it’s worth it, and – -That’s a good answer. (Gosford Park)
14) Was there a dog in here just now…? (Death a at Funeral)
15) I give myself some very good advice… but I rarely seldom follow it…and that explains the trouble that I’m always in. (Alice in Wonderland)
16) Understanding poetry by Dr. J Evans Pritchard, PhD. To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent with its meter, rhyme, and figures of speech, then ask two questions: 1 How artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered and 2 how important is that objective? Question 1 rates the poem’s perfection; Question 2 rates its importance. And once these questions have been answered, determining the poem’s greatness becomes a relatively simple matter. If the poem’s score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph – (Dead Poet's Society)
17) –I’m not mad. I’m in a ****ing great mood. Despite the fact that I’m trapped in a fat suit I can’t take off, despite the fact that everyone is making fun of me behind my back, despite the fact that your little girlfriend gave me the stinkeye in art class the other day… -Katrina’s not my girlfriend! And I doubt she was actually giving you the stinkeye. She just looks like that all the time. (Juno)
18) –Okay, let’s just talk. I have two children. My husband is a top chef. Like that makes me something. Anyway, he works night, so… -Do you work? -Yes. No. Not right now. Why? How do you know to ask that? It’s okay… I can talk about it. I just… I ran a commercial design company until four months ago… When it was downsized to zip. Now I’m a full time mom. Gulp! (Spanglish)
19) –I don’t see any point in writing a story if you’re not going to let anyone read it. -It’s not ready yet. -What’s it about? -It’s about a young girl, a young and foolish girl, who sees something from her bedroom window that she doesn’t understand, but thinks she does… I probably won’t ever finish it. -I look at you and you’re so mysterious. I’ve never been mysterious. You know what I decided tonight? -What? -I could never marry a man who wasn’t in the royal navy. (Atonement)
EDIT: sorry for the delay in scoring! my internets failed.

Be it proposed: Poison Ivy staring pre-Back to the Future Michael J. Fox and pre-pre-pre-Serenity Adam Baldwin is the best teen comedy about summer camp ever made.

Okay, so I clicked that link, and at the bottom of it it has a few different camp movies in the "recommendation" area, so I'm gonna guess the first one just to keep this going.

Would it be possible to declare the time a new set of movies is going up? It's tedious to go on the forums when I get home only to find that several hours have already elapsed and there is no way I can win.

Enough of play this that a two day limit from the original posting time should be plenty. Six days is pretty nuts.

Admittedly, I was only able to watch the Last King of Scotland once. I really mean to watch it again, but it was just so intense...

12. Krull (I love that movie, but was unaware that anyone else had even heard of it)
And I did a lot of cringing during that last scene in Last King of Scotland, but not more so than I did when they showed the wife's dismembered body. I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw that. Forrest Whittaker scared the bejeezus out of me. Seriously. His wild eyed crazyness and the sheer brutality that went along with it was like combining something out of Saw with Hotel Rwanda. It's not a movie I ever plan on watching again.
