After combing through the quotes to pick off the ones being guessed even as I formatted this post, I realized that K16 is North by Northwest. I'm going to go ahead and pick it off, having double-checked, but that's the first casualty this round.

I think you already guessed G15, too, didn't you?

All your guesses from the H set are correct.

A19 correct (FREE), A26 correct (FREE), A36 correct (1), A39 correct (1; I'm not going to nitpick the title), A40 correct (1), A47 correct (1), A86 correct (2), A100 incorrect, A115 correct (3), A116 incorrect (good guess, though), A124 correct (3), A131 correct (3), A164 correct (3), C07 correct (1), G12 correct (2), H09 correct (FREE), H33 correct (2), H35 correct (2), H36 correct (2), H37 correct (2), H46 correct (2), H51 correct (2), H74 correct (3), H89 correct (3), H95 correct (3), J49 correct (3), K19 correct (2), K32 correct (2), K46 correct (2)

I can't answer J09 or J50, so lair_of_fenrir is going to have to speak up. Sorry, but he has a tendency to pick really short, generic quotes that may or may not be correctly phrased, so searching them out reveals nothing. It's a rare problem, but hey, it happens.

All tolled, you've managed to answer an earnest buttload of quotes for a total of 51 points. Well done. That's a hell of a run. Thanks to joiedecombat for scoring the H quotes for me.

Some wild guesses! joiedecombat March 28 2008, 22:00:44 UTC
A100. Ninja Scroll
A120. Argh, there is an EXTREMELY similar quote in Outbreak but I do not think this one is from the same movie.
A142. Transformers (the 2007 version)
A148. Terminator 3
K07. The Zero Effect?
K21. Oh, what was that movie with Sandra Bullock in it that I never saw... Murder by Numbers?
O08. Frequency
O10. Mystery Men?
O11. Interview with the Vampire?
O14. Pitch Black, but I KNOW someone else already got that in the last round

A100 is correct for 2 (and I'm guessing you figured out some of my hinting shorthand)
A120 is from Alien, which dkphoenix guessed; the two films have a lot in common
A142 is correct for 3
A148 is correct for 3
K07 is correct for NUTHIN'!
K21 is incorrect
O08 is correct for 2
O10 is correct for 2 (and I kept forgetting to guess it!)
O11 is incorrect
O14 is correct, but someone did get it last round; it was me. I'll mark it.

This puts 12 on your tab.
