11. A movie you watched mainly for an actor

This would be a hella long list if I actually stopped to think about it. Stonehenge Apocalypse for Misha Collins is the first thing that popped into my head -- though to be fair, it was a SciFi Original, so Lucas and Sarah and I were bound to watch it ANYWAY.

19. Favourite quote from a movie

*Insert every bit of dialogue from Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and The Mummy here.* Also Sam's speech from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

27. A movie you hate

A Beautiful Mind. Now, I love Paul Bettany. But not even he could save this movie for me. Dull, overly long, frustratingly manipulative. Also, it was the worst date I EVER WENT ON EVER. Ugh, I don't even like thinking about it.

Every dialogue from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang FOR THE WIN.

Ugh, A Beautiful Mind. I had to watch that more than a dozen times for English class in high school. Not the best selection, I must say. Also, I'm sorry, but NOBODY CAN BELIEVE RUSSELL CROWE AS A GENIUS.
