I have absolutely no idea about the bonus question. Doesn't even sound familiar. But who knows, maybe I'll end up watching whatever it is tonight.

the bonus is one of my favorite movies. In fact it was the 1st DVD I ever bought. Does that help?
We'll wait to see if JT knows it and then I can throw up a different bonus as a tie breaker for you two.

Make them play rock paper scissors. They can both email you with their shot, and whoever wins gets to go.

OK, vonk and JT. I like Lyrhawn's idea. email me three rounds of rock, paper, scissors. if there is a tie in round one, I'll use round 2 and hopefully we won't need more than 3 rounds. e-mail is in my profile.

then I suppose the next round goes to Vonk. I'll leave the bonus up unanswered until the new list is posted then I will reveal the correct answer

Kuzah! Finally my turn. Thanks for the deferal (or deference?) El JT de Sprang.
Apologies all around if some of these are too obscure or too easy.
1)Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong? -Brazil
2)See, you can't rewrite, 'cause to rewrite is to deceive and lie, and you betray your own thoughts. To rethink the flow and the rhythm, the tumbling out of the words, is a betrayal, and it's a sin, Martin, it's a sin. -Naked Lunch
3)Probably the most important thing is that when things get really bad and the world looks its darkest, you just have to throw up your hands and say "Well, alright!" cause it's probably gonna get a whole hell of a lot worse. -Cannibal: The Musical
4)Tell him the liberator who destroyed my property has realigned my perception. -Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
5)- Have fun, kid. - Fun is my Chinese neighbor's middle name! -Rocketman
6)With a prompter in every cellar window whispering comebacks, shy people would have the last laugh -Amelie
7)The doctor said it was pneumonia; because it happened some months later! During a flu epidemic! The doctors told me it was pneumonia, but I knew what it was! A VICTIM OF THE MODERN AGE! Poor, poor girl!-A Clockwork Oragne - Anthony Burgess
8)Your Commie has no regard for human life. Not even his own. -Dr. Strangelove
9)Ya smoke this sh*t so to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this sh*t. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is. -Platoon
10)Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying. -Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
11)Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places. -Edward Scissorhands
12)I've been dead once already; it's very liberating. You might think of it as... therapy. -Batman
13)Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? -Airplane!
14)Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
15)Sally, that's twice this month you've slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off. -A Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton (Kinda)
16)- What's a motto? - Nothing. What's a motto with you? -Lion King
17)We're not in infinity; we're in the suburbs -I Heart Huckabees
18)Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful. -This is a Spinal Tap!
19)Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia! -Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum
20)All of us are freaks in one way or another. Try being born a male Russian Countess into a white, middle class, Baptist family in Mississippi, and you'll see what I mean. -Even Cowgirls Get the Blues - Tom Robbins
Bonus: Many of these are based on novels. One point each for every original author you get.

#4 is from Fight Club, originally by Chuck Palahunik.
#3 is from Cannibal: The Musical, it's not based on a novel, I don't think, but it's by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Writing the storyline of a movie is not the same as writing a novel that a movie was based on. But, because it was based on a piece of literature:

It wasn't until I was scanning the Wikipedia article on Amelie to find out if it was based on a novel that I started thinking, "Frenchie Magoo, hmmm, I don't know..."

I was aware it initially was a poem but I was operating under the premise that Burton still wrote a story version.![[Party]](graemlins/party.gif)
