I snagged this one from Alynda and Aimee. I hope enough people read my blog to guess at least some of them, haha.

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly in the comments, and put who correctly identified the film.
5. NO Googling or using IMDb search functions. (That’s called cheating, folks.)

So, are you ready? Here we go…

1. I don’t know how I could’ve been so ignorant about myself… so… so stupid. And you know what I’m talking about, don’t you? You knew before I did. Atonement, correctly guessed by Ellen.

2. There’s two kinds of people in this world, there’s winners and there’s losers. Okay, you know what the difference is? Winners don’t give up. Little Miss Sunshine, correctly guessed by Ellen.

3. You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me. - That’s not a problem. A Walk to Remember, correctly guessed by Aimee.

4. We spend our whole life trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing. But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. Then there comes a point - a moment - in life when your mind outlives its desires, its obsessions, when your habits survive your dreams, and when your losses… Maybe death is a gift. You wonder. All I can tell you is that by this time tomorrow I’ll be dead. I know when. I just cannot say why. You have 24 hours to find out. The Life of David Gale, correctly guessed by Maren.

5. Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just. Finding Neverland, correctly guessed by Heidikins.

6. This is the puppet hospital and burn center… It’s relatively new.

7. I’m sick of sleeping with these insipid Manhattan debutantes. Nothing shocks them anymore. Cruel Intentions, correctly guessed by Aimee.

8. I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. The Notebook, correctly guessed by Caty.

9. I guess it’s hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they’re bad - to change. ‘Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.

10. I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like “collateral” and “rendition” became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how “different” became dangerous. I still don’t understand it, why they hate us so much. V for Vendetta, correctly guessed by Caty.

11. We spend more time defending our relationship than actually having one. Save the Last Dance, correctly guessed by Aimee.

12. Oh… guys? Don’t stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector; it was beeping all night. Garden State, correctly guessed by Heidikins.

13. During the daytime people would want to hear songs that they know, just songs that they recognize. I play these song at night or I wouldn’t make any money. People wouldn’t listen. Once, correctly guessed by Ellen.

14. I am your neighbor and a liar. By the way, do you have Zoe’s number? The Science of Sleep, correctly guessed by Tina.

15. Do us a favor… I know it’s difficult for you… but please, stay here, and try not to do anything… stupid. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, correctly guessed by Caty.

Edit: Great going, guys and gals, thirteen down, two to go!
