Here are 15 quotes; your job is to guess the movies from which they come. (For extra style points, identify the actor or character who's speaking.) A couple of notes on this list, which may or may not be of help: purely for amusement value, I sorted the list alphabetically by film title. The films date from 1965 to 2015; five are musicals, two are Westerns, and three are Disney movies (by which I mean originated by Disney proper, not from franchises acquired by Disney over time). All were theatrical releases, although one in particular was an indie project with a narrow distribution window in its initial run. OTOH, that one also had a couple of other lives on cable and DVD (I bought my disc at a local supermarket/dept. store chain), so it's not hopelessly obscure, only partially so (and worth looking up, IMO).

#14 “Dave, you should run.”
#15: “How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom? They gobbled it up like a chocolate eclair! They didn't fear their demise, they repackaged it!”
