A thought exercise in film

Got this idea from drama_kween – here's a quote from each of 15 different movies that I like. I've picked some fairly obscure ones (movies and quotes); good luck with your guesses. When you're out of guesses, you can follow the links to the movies on IMDB.

  1. We fascists are the only true anarchists.
  2. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.
  3. Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them back together in new shapes of your own choosing.
  4. I'm not in the business. I am the business.
  5. Look, I don't know nothing about you; you don't know nothing about me. I don't know if you're stupid, or some kind of genius. All I know is that I need to get out of here, and you got the gun. So I'm asking you, for the second time, let me go my way here.
  6. Look at this. Look at what they make you give.
  7. I call it performance art, but my friend Ariel calls it wasting time. History will decide.
  8. Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
  9. I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.
  10. What do I think about the U.S. involvement in the war? We should win it.
  11. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and well be lucky to live through it.
  12. I'm trying to understand our world. I dont deal with petty materialists like you.
  13. Well I, for one, am v-v-very interested to see w-w-what's going to happen next.
  14. Mr. Singer. What an appropriate name for a man who can't shut up.
  15. Death is... whimsical... today.
