20 Questio... I mean Quotes
OBSCURE MOVIES CHANGED! NEW QUOTES ADDED!
So I have seen a number of versions of this on a number of journals. The biggest difference being the number of movies. So I took the version with 20, simply because it reminded me of 20 questions and 20 seemed like a nice number, especially since I do not keep a running record of my favourite movies. Only the top 2. So these are 20 OF my favourite movies. More specifically, the first 20 I could think of. If I did this list in a few hours again, it would be different. Anywho, on to the rules of the meme.
* Choose 20 of your favourite films
* Go to IMDB and pick one of their quotes for each movie.
* Post the quotes (without names) here, for everyone to guess which movie it comes from.
* Strikeout the quote when someone guesses the correct movie in the comments. Write the name of the movie and who guessed it next to to struck through quote.
*No Googling / using IMDB / other forms of cheating by the guessers! Where would be the fun in that?!?

12. Kim: You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.
