Here’s how this game works. Someone posts some lyrics from a movie, and the person below has to say which movie it’s from. I’ll start:

There is something that I see in the way you look at me there’s a smile there’s a truth in your eyes but in an unexpected way on this unexpected day could it mean this is where I belong it is you I have loved all along

When you start to roam;  
The birds are singing the day that you stray,

_The Jazz Singer_

Some things in life are bad  
They can really make you mad  
Other things just make you swear and curse  
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
