Song Lyric of the Day:
You say you know what he did / But you idiot kid / You don’t have a clue / Sometimes they just get caught in the eye / You’re pulling him through
Elliott Smith / “Needle in the Hay“

I got this movie quotes meme from a fellow Knoxvillian’s blog, Esoteric Arcana (you can also check out other Knoxville blogs listed here). I did tweak the meme a bit in that I increased the number of quotes from 15 to 20 since I couldn’t whittle down my list.

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. Fill in the film title once it’s guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.
