Okay, I'm pretty sure that's all of them. A few seem familiar, but I'm not sure if I've seen them or just clips, so I didn't bother marking those. Still, it’s my highest score yet. Woo!

Oh, and Casablanca is a must see for children between the ages of 8-12? That movie doesn't strike me as a 'kids' movie. Though I did see it before I turned 12, which allowed me to supply a lot of movie quotes in my college movie appreciate class, so what do I know? (Yes. You guessed it in one. Not much.) :)
