I was thinking BE6 was [Switch.](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0103016) Ellen Barkin’s character is a man who got reincarnated as a woman, and at the movie’s end, she’s in Heaven, unable to make up her mind as to whether she’s going to spend eternity as a man or woman. God (as man and woman voices) says “Take your time. We’ve got all the time in the world.”

KO1: “As you wish”  
KO2: “No, I’m an old woman now. I just prefer him to remember me as I was.”  
KO3: “Yub Yub!” 😃

Well done Legomancer! Many forget that the actual last line was Luke reasurring C3PO that R2 will be repaired. The final throne room scene has no dialog.

If, for NDP 8, you said “Boogie Nights,” you are correct. Also, if you picked “Fight Club” for NDP 9 and “Rushmore” for NDP 10, give yourself two stars.

Here’s one that’s so easy I’m surprised no one’s thrown it out yet:

NDP 11 - “After all, tomorrow’s another day.”
