**Looks like I stumped you all on 6, 8, and 20! All the answers are now below…thanks for playing!**
I’m nothing if not a follower. When Debra posted quotes from her favorite movies and asked us to guess, I knew I had to do the same. I had planned on listing favorite movie quotes anyway, but this way just makes it fun.
