The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) coming-of-age teen story
1. “I know who you are, Sam. I know I’m quiet… and, and I know I should speak more. But if you knew the things that were in my head most of the time, you’d know what it really meant. How, how much we’re alike, and how we’ve been through the same things… and you’re not small. You’re beautiful.”
Big Hero 6 (2014) animation/superhero

1. “Maybe I’m one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it’s like a pipe dream for me, you know? And then you… you said it, you changed your dreams, and then you grow up. Maybe I’m one of those people, and I’m not supposed to. And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I’m supposed to do. ‘Cause I left to do that, and it’s been six years, and I don’t wanna do it anymore.”
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) animation/superhero

Knives Out (2019) mystery/comedy
1. “It describes the path of a projectile determined by natural law. Et voila, my method. I observe the facts without biases of the head or heart. I determine the arc’s path, stroll leisurely to its terminus and the truth falls at my feet.”
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) comedy/drama
1. “You know what? F*** beauty contests. Life is one f*****g beauty contest after another. You know, school, then college, then work, f*** that. And f*** the air force academy. If I wanna fly, I’ll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and f*** the rest.”
Heathers (1988) dark teen comedy
1. “Suicide gave Heather depth, Kurt a soul, and Ram a brain. I don’t know what it’s given me, but I have no control over myself when I’m with J.D. Are we going to prom or to hell?”
Juno (2007) teen indie
1. “The funny thing is that Steve Rendazo secretly wants me. Jocks like him always want freaky girls. Girls with horn-rimmed glasses and vegan footwear and Goth makeup. Girls who play the cello and wear Converse All-Stars and want to be children’s librarians when they grow up. Oh yeah, jocks eat that s*** up.”
Big Eyes (2014) biographical drama
1. “Do you know what it says in Timothy 3:1-5? ‘In the last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves.’ Sounds like my ex-husband.”

1. “On this, the day of our deity of reciprocity, we gather to give special thanks to our treasured Sun. As an offering for our Father, we will today surrender nine *human* lives. As Hårga takes, so Hårga also gives. Thus, for every newblood sacrificed, we will dedicate one of our own. That is: four newbloods, four from Hårga, and one to be chosen by the Queen. Nine in all, to die, and be reborn, in the great Cycle.”
Baby Driver (2017) action-comedy
1. “Tell me if I’m way off, Buddy. You were a stockbroker. Maybe a different wife, maybe kids. You stack your paper, but you say shit like ‘work hard, play harder.’ But you play a little too hard. You rack up debt. The type of debt that’d make a white man blush. Maybe you get into a little trouble. Maybe you get your hand caught in the corporate cookie jar. Maybe you leave and run off to the desert. Maybe with your favorite lap dancer in tow. Maybe you disappear into a world consisting of three things: money, s**, drugs, and action.”
Synecdoche, New York (2008) philosophical drama
1. “I know how to do the play now. It will all take place over the course of one day. And that day will be the day before you died. That day was the happiest day of my life. Then I’ll be able to live it forever. See you soon.”
