I'm Back + A Movie Game

Hello my dear readers! I'm back home from my vacation and I'm ready to post again. In my last post many of you left questions for me. I'll get around to answering all of your questions later this week either in a comment on that post, or in a post. 


I thought it would be fun to kick off this week with a little movie game. I'll post pictures and quotes from different movies and maybe a TV show or two. Then you all will leave a comment guessing were each one is from. On Saturday I'll post the winners and tell the names of any movies no one guesses. Try not to use Google, TCM, or IMDB when guessing. ;-) Ready for the game to start? On your marks. Get set. Go. Start guessing! 


*hint* Most of these are from movies & TV shows before 1970. Though some are from newer movies & TV shows. =)
