Welcome to Monday's Thirteen, the movie quote guessing game.

Answers will be screened. Those who guess correctly will have their name listed with the quote as soon as I can. More than one person can claim a quote, so the movie's name won't be revealled until the weekend game-end.

On Wednesday, some additional hints will be posted for leftover Double Quotes (two-week veterans of the game). Any surviving Triple Quotes will get their hint from the prior week sorted out and matched up. Fridays will see any unguessed Triple Quotes matched with another quote.

Anything that makes it to four weeks is probably too difficult for you all to guess is a real challenge. It will be elevated to Sudden Death status - the first correct guess gets the credit for it, and, unlike earlier stages of the game, subsequent guesses just don't count for squat. Instead of waiting for the weekend, I'll expose the winners *and the movies* for Sudden Death quotes as soon as I can. Sudden Death quotes will also get the benefit of an extra quote Tuesday through Friday in an attempt to get rid of them and make room for something easier that you folks can handle new.

Enjoy!

"Mocky-Lock is the boogeyman, Mocky-Lock wants me where I am!"

Yep! I just needed you to tie the "raggedy man" quote to one of the others... I kind of expected you to get this right away this week! =)

12) The Little Mermaid

13) Cannonball Run :p

3 & 12 were right, of course; #13 was just a bit suspicious - I thought you'd misplaced that guess, glad you got it!

Okay, okay, one shouldn't answer these things on three hours sleep. #10 is Cannonball Run.

Number three is, of course, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. I recognized the second quote, but couldn't figure out which of the first set it went with until now.

Apparently this week I can only identify quotes whose numbers are made entirely of 1s. :)

1. Reading your post this time my thought process went something like this:
oooo... that's so familiar... oh, what's it called *smacks self upside the head* I thought I'd blocked that movie out... Geena Davis... pirates... maybe I _have_ blocked it... nope, wait, there it is... "Cut Throat Island"

11. French Kiss (no magic epiphany, I just knew this one :) )

With the clue, I'm sure it's a recent Bond film.. *thinks* It's not TND or WINE, so it must be Die Another Day?
