"Far too many quotes for my taste, and none of them about Christine."
~Andre and Firmin, "Notes" (tweaked slightly)
This quiz is made up of twelve familiar (or obscure...) quotes from various movie musicals. I've chosen to use just movie adaptations for this quiz because stage versions can vary as to what's left in and what's cut. To play, just comment with your guesses about a) which movie each quote comes from and b) who says each line. There are twelve movies and eighteen characters to identify (though some films may be repeated, so watch out for duplicates!), and therefore you can earn a maximum of 26 points. (Don't cheat and use IMDb. :D) I've left some blanks where names are used, but you won't get extra points for filling in the blanks because those names are the names of the characters. :D Winners will be announced on Saturday. Have fun!
