Holiday Edition!
Common thematic: These movies are all related to the holiday season from Thanksgiving on through to New Years in some way.
The reason there are 36 is that that counts every day from December 1 through January 5 [which was how long we celebrated the Christmas thing when I was a kid -- I'm not that denomination anymore but it was a good excuse to post a whole bunch of quotes].
1. Well, that was absurd, let's eat dead bird!
2. You sit on a throne of lies!
turnedskyward guessed Elf correctly!
3. I'm sorry that I used to be such a saint back then, and I'm such a *prick* now!

bayushi guessed Scrooged correctly!
5. For the past 50 years or so I've been getting more and more worried about Christmas. Seems we're all so busy trying to beat the other fellow in making things go faster and look shinier and cost less that Christmas and I are sort of getting lost in the shuffle.
6. You're a little absent-minded, spirit.
No, I am a large absent minded spirit!
3jane guessed The Muppet Christmas Carol correctly!
7. No siree! We're going out the good ol' fashioned way. Prancer and Dancer and Donder and Blitzen, and Vixen and Nixon... oh, consarnit I get those names mixed up, but the KIDS know their names.
8. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun.
kriatyrr guessed The Nightmare Before Christmas correctly!
9. There are times when victory is very hard to take.
10. Just remember that in every pothole there is hope. Well, you see, pothole is spelled P-O-T-H-O-L-E. So if you take the P, and add it to the H, the O, and the E, and rearrange the letters...or contrariwise, you remove the O, T, and the L, you get "hope". So, just remember, in every pothole there is hope!
11. You're an hour and 51 minutes late. I already called the Morgue. They said you weren't there but to try back later.
turnedskyward guessed Eight Crazy Nights correctly!
12. --According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14th, in the year two thousand and sixteen.
--Valentine's Day. Bummer
13. On December 26th, you get one railroad ticket... out of town. And the Bulletin agrees to pay to have your arm fixed. That's what you want, isn't it?
14. You scared, ain't ya? You should be! Christmas Eve is the scariest damn night of the year!
15. The season of perpetual hope. And I don't care if I have to get out on your runway and hitchhike.
16. Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...
17. I think if we're going to destroy our son's delusions, I should be a part of it.
18. Jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, pink slip, chain letter, eviction notice, jury duty!
19.In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.
20. "What we have here is a failure to accumulate."
21. --Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.
--But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.
jeditigger guessed Batman Returns correctly!
22. Sometimes angels rush in where fools fear to tread.
23. Did you know that there is a certain species of turtle that can screw for three days straight? I didn't know, you're probably asking yourself that can't be true but it is, because I went down to the zoo and I watched them do it. It was very very boring. I still can't believe they can screw for three days, I mean I'm lucky if I even get three minutes. So after I saw those turtles screwing, I said that is what I call remature ejaculation!
24. Let's drop a rock on him. That'll make him dead when he's alive.
25. Before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. I don't think it would be snowing now if he weren't still up there. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.
3jane guessed Edward Scissorhands correctly!
26. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.
27. He's not going to say fuck stick in front of the children, is he?
28. Ma'am, my feet are hardly touching the ground. I'm barely able to look over the counter. How can I make a reservation for a hotel room? Think about it. A kid coming into a hotel, making a reservation? I don't think so.
dorei guessed Home Alone 2 correctly!
29. Was that seat hot or what? I feel like a Whopper. Turn me over, I'm done and ready. I'm afraid to look at my ass. There'll be grill marks.
30. We get one day a year to prove we're not screw-ups and what do we do? We screw it up.
31. How about, "The Molantator"?
32. Miss Haynes, if you're ever under a falling building and someone offers to pick you up and carry you to safety, don't think, don't pause, don't hesitate for a moment, just spit in his eye.
33. You know, it occurs to me that the best way to hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.
34. I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed.
35. So not only are you a spaz, you're an elf?
36. What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. What up with that?
