1. An American Tail greyskyeyes, starsgoblue, strwberrycake
Excuse moi, pardon, did you say never? So young, and you've already lost hope! This is America, the place to find hope. If you give up now, you will never find them. So never say never.

Ohh, for God's sake! He's got an arm off!

4.
The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.

5. Pleasantville vimes
Jennifer: Are you okay?
Betty: Um, yes. It's, uh, just that your father would never do anything like that.

Betty: Mmm.
Jennifer: Well, you know, Mom, there are other ways to enjoy yourself... without Dad.

7.
a: I was so tall.

10. Die Hard racetrack, katling (bonus points to katling for naming Hans and John)
Hans Gruber: I thought I told all of you, I want radio silence until further-
John McClane: Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I wanted to give you a call.
Karl: How does he know so much about th-
Hans Gruber: [silences Karl with a gesture] That's very kind of you. I assume you are our mysterious party crasher. You are most troublesome, for a security guard.
John McClane: Eeeh! Sorry Hans, wrong guess. Would you like to go for Double Jeopardy where the scores can really change? [about cigarettes to dead man] Whoa, these are very bad for you.
Hans Gruber: Who are you then?
John McClane: Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass.

11. Memento sophism, sycorax, racetrack (bonus points to sophism for naming Leonard as the quotee)
Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

13. That Thing You Do! greyskyeyes, vimes, starsgoblue
Mr. White: I don't want any of this lover's lament crap. I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.
Jimmy: [smiles and sings] I... I quit... I quit... I quit... [speaks seriously] I quit, Mr. White.

14. The Usual Suspects racetrack
What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody.

15. Back to the Future dhoni, sycorax, vimes, strwberrycake
