jlhOkay, I missed it! I was wrong, they were all answered! Sorry, Jules!
1: She: Where's the cat?
He: I don't know.

tea_and_toast correctly guessed Breakfast at Tiffany's. Yeah, Holly is great, but what I really love is Paul—George Peppard is brilliant, and his final speech in the cab is my favorite moment: "Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. "
2: She: I think it's gonna rain.
He: It is raining.
tea_and_toast got it again! sex, lies and videotape was our favorite rental when I was in college. I urge that you Soderberg fans out there see it for yourselves. I mean, Graham, *sigh*. And those two final lines—that might be one of my favorite endings of a movie ever.
3: He: I absolutely adore you.
She: Shut up and deal.
This very moment is portrayed in my icon, andcalloocallay got it right: The Apartment, Best Picture of 1960. The romance for people who don't really like romances, which is the only kind Billy Wilder did.
4: He: You knew you were going to get them, didn't you?
She: I didn't know. I hoped, but I didn't know.
I totally underestimated the Some Kind of Wonderful love!taradiane guessed it first. Watts rules me, but then I've always had a soft spot for drummers. "Them", by the way, are diamond solitaire earrings.
5: He: Make a wish.
She: It already came true.
Guestanemonerose grabbed this one: Sixteen Candles. My heart can't help but flutter when I hear the beginning of the Thompson Twins song "If You Were Here" and see them sitting on the table, a birthday cake between them. Oh Jake, so lovely, so improbable.
6: She: Don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars.
Now, Voyager. Guessed in secret bymalsperanza. Childhood overidentification with Tina. Adult overidentification with Charlotte.
7: She: I thought you were stepping aside and letting me go. I thought you were on the level for once.
He: Well, what do you think I am, a chump?
calloocallay got it: His Girl Friday. My favorite movie when I was 9. I wanted to be IN the movie so badly and I had a wicked crush on Cary Grant. By the way, her reply to this was, "I thought you didn't love me!"
8: He: I'd reached the point where I needed official surroundings.
She: Then it was worth it.
Laura, another film guessed in secret bymalsperanza. When AMC was still an interesting channel they used to play it all the time. I can't reveal what I love about it, as it is a big spoiler, but how about that noir vibe? How about my crush on Gene Tierney, gorgeous even without the full effect of those big blue eyes? Not to mention Dana Andrews. Yum.
9: He: I think that now, no matter what kind of a case some bastard could make against your getting married, there would be only one thing worse, and that would be if, knowing what you two are and knowing what you two have and knowing what you two feel, you didn't get married.
Bothtea_and_toast and malsperanza guessed it in secret: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Being a girl of mixed race born in 1969, this film made in 1967 about a black man and a white woman who want to get married has an obvious appeal. Dated? Yes. Clunky? Certainly. But take Spencer Tracy's last speech in this film—his final speech on film, for that matter—which is quoted above, and it still has the same power.
10: She: Oh, David, can you ever forgive me?
He: I... I... I...
She: You can! And you still love me.
He: Susan, that... that...
She: You do. Oh, David.
He: Oh, dear. Oh, my.
heinous_bitca got it right: Bringing Up Baby. Talk about screwball comedies; they are having this conversation atop a dinosaur skeleton. As with many of these films, I fell in love with it as a child, and only much later did I see the seriousness under the silliness.
11: She: I'll be yar now, I promise to be yar.
He: Be whatever you like, you're my redhead.
malsperanza also got it: The Philadelphia Story, about which I've gone on so many times that I think I'll leave it lie, except to say that my actual favorite line from this film is, "Because Liz wouldn't like it."
12: He: Liar.
She: Thief.
maybethemoon guess correctly, Ocean's 11. It's odd, on my DVD shelf are all these movies from the 30s and 40s and then Ocean's 11. But it fits.
