I didn't either, but I couldn't resist this one.
Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] samae.

Instructions:
1. Pick 20 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, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters!

1. She's dying. But I could still hear her big mouth.

2. I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.

3. Damn you! I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!

4. I can't believe you're gonna let a few little letters of the alphabet keep us apart. It is a detail! Just - look, just call me Damon, okay? It'll be like a nickname.

5. I do ballet because it has nothing to do with the people. Give me tiaras and boys in tights any day.

6. Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

7. What do they think I am? Dumb or something? Why, I make more money than - than - than Calvin Coolidge! Put together!

8. For example. If I promised a woman's father I would not see her... I would simply shut my eyes, while she serviced my manhood.

9. There can't be a seventh Sixth Chick. It's just mathematically impossible.

10. Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.

11. I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.

12. What did you do, wake up this morning and say, "Today, I'm going to ruin a man's life"?

13. So there it was. Somewhere in the night, a Manhattan book editor was prowling the streets of Pittsburgh; best-selling author at his side, dead dog in his trunk.

14. Teenagers. They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you.

15. I'm unhappy, and I want to eat!

16. If you're going to be rude to my daughter, you might as well at least take your hat off!

17. You're a great warrior! And a swordsman!... And you're ten times bigger than I am, stupid!

18. Oh, that's what everyone thinks! But kind people find out that they are cruel. Brave men discover that they are really cowards! Confronted by their true selves, most men run away screaming!

19. Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!

20. Why, just to see your lovely smile I'd swim through beer with my mouth closed!

I think I have #12. Bringing Up Baby?
I'm sure I have #19. Aunty Em in The Wizard Of Oz.
The rest are a mystery to me.

19 is right, 12 is wrong. Ah, I have so many movies to recommend to you! :)

Correct on all three! But you probably knew that. :) I'll wait until tonight to update the whole entry.

I was wondering who'd get #7 -- and a couple others. Well done, all guesses correct.

Bill and Ted was the only one I spotted, but seeing other people's answers I'm now kicking myself in all directions!! :-)

14. The Little Mermaid

All correct, well done! There are a couple of others I thought would be on your radar as well; maybe the quotes are too obscure. I'll update with correct answers later tonight probably :)

There were a couple that were familiar, but I couldn't place them.

Hmm..this is tough because several of these sound familiar but I have no idea where from. My guesses:

2 - Steel Magnolias - the only one i'm sure of

12 - Romancing the Stone (I'm pretty sure this is a Michael Douglas line, but can't recall what movie...)

13 - Wonder Boys
