cleolinda's LJ.
Instructions:
- Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
- Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
- As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
- If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.
(Note: I've made my list a baker's dozen...just because. I have decision-making problems, okay? :) Enjoy!)
