Notes: I'm glad people liked this; it was a pain to put together. Finding the exact reasons for the noing was a bit rough, but I think we were lenient; I would estimate that only on a handful did we not give anyone credit for the context. The only movie that got everyone, I think, was My Man Godfrey. I forgot which team managed to ID Grease 2, which my sister insisted I put in, but whoever you are, props to you. We also gave full credit to people who creatively expressed the emo-ey nature of the scenes without really explaining context, which several teams apparently had a lot of fun doing.
