The Post You've All Been Waiting For...

Yes, folks, this is the post you've all been waiting for...may I present the winner of our Back-to-School contest...MANGO!!!!
Okie, hi everyone, its mango.
I won a contest in the DB’s blog, so I get to post a post on whatever I want!!
Pretty cool prize huh? ;-]
Anyway, my topic for today is..........*drumroll*........................NARNIA! (WARNING, CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THEM)
Yes, go on, you can clap, its okay. Oh you want to cheer? Okay then, fine, cheer. Awwww don’t do it soo loudly, you’re embarrassing me! I mean, I know it’s a really fantastic topic and all but I didn’t make up Narnia or anything. Anyway, on with the topic!
The Chronicles of Narnia movies are the best. There are two: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian (which most of us watched together). There will be a third (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), and probably a fifth (The Silver Chair, and definitely a sixth (The Last Battle). They are all based on the books by C.S. Lewis.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the first movie, was directed by Andrew Adamson, and written by Ann Peacock and Andrew Adamson. It stars Georgie Henley (Lucy Pevensie), Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie), Anna Popplewell (Susan Pevensie), William Moseley (Peter Pevensie), Tilda Swinton (Jadis the White Witch), and Liam Neeson (Aslan, voice).
You can view the trailer here: Youtube even has the movie!
Some fun quotes from IMDB:

Mr. Beaver: When Adam's Flesh and Adam's bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done.
Susan Pevensie: You know, that doesn't really rhyme.

Professor Kirke: You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper.
Peter Pevensie: We're very sorry, sir, it won't happen again.
Susan Pevensie: It's our sister, sir. Lucy.
Professor Kirke: The weeping girl?
Susan Pevensie: Yes, sir. She's upset.
Professor Kirke: Hence the weeping.

Susan Pevensie: Why are they all staring at us?
Lucy Pevensie: Maybe they think you look funny.

Lucy Pevensie: I wouldn't lie about this!
Edmund Pevensie: Well, I believe you.
Lucy Pevensie: You do?
Edmund Pevensie: Yeah, of course. Didn't I tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboard?

Susan Pevensie: Besides, we could all use the fresh air.
Edmund Pevensie: It's not like there isn't air inside.

Jadis The White Witch: [after stabbing Aslan] The great cat is dead!

[Peter hands Edmund a fur coat]
Edmund Pevensie: But that's a girl's coat!
Peter Pevensie: [nods] I know.

Peter Pevensie: He said he knows the faun.
Susan Pevensie: He's a beaver, he shouldn't be saying anything!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next is Prince Caspian, my personal favorite movie (I’ve watched it 7 times!!), was also directed by Andrew Adamson. It stars Georgie Henley (Lucy Pevensie), Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie), Anna Popplewell (Susan Pevensie), William Moseley (Peter Pevensie), Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian), and Liam Neeson (Aslan, voice. Also important are Trumpkin, Nikabrik, Glenstorm, Doctor Cornelius, and King Miraz.
Some fun quotes from IMDB:

Doctor Cornelius: [wakes Prince Caspian]
Prince Caspian: Five more minutes.

Lucy Pevensie: I wonder who lived here.
Susan Pevensie: [picks up a small gold statue] I think we did.
Edmund Pevensie: Hey, that's mine! From my chess set!
Peter Pevensie: Which chess set?
Edmund Pevensie: Well I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?

King Miraz: Tell me, Prince Edmund...
Edmund Pevensie: King. [rolls up a scroll]
King Miraz: Beg your Pardon?
Edmund Pevensie: It's King Edmund, actually. Just King though. Peter's the High King.
[awkward pause]
Edmund Pevensie: I know, it's confusing.

[Edmund walks in after helping Peter out of a fight]
Edmund Pevensie: You're welcome.
Peter Pevensie: [Peter stands up] I had it sorted.
Susan Pevensie: What was it this time?
Peter Pevensie: He bumped me.
Lucy Pevensie: So you hit him?
Peter Pevensie: No, after he bumped me they tried to make me apologize. That's when I hit him.
Susan Pevensie: Really, is it that hard to just walk away?
Peter Pevensie: I shouldn't have to! I mean, don't you ever get tired of being treated like a kid?
Edmund Pevensie: Uh, we are kids!
Peter Pevensie: Well I wasn't always.

[after destroying the ice wall, which summons the White Witch]
Edmund Pevensie: [to Peter] I know, you had it sorted.

Lucy Pevensie: Oh my gosh, he's so cute.
Reepicheep: [Reepicheep draws his sword and looks around] Who said that?
Lucy Pevensie: Um, sorry.

Lucy Pevensie: I wish you would all stop trying to sound like grown-ups! I didn't think I saw him, I did see him.
Trumpkin: I... *am* a grown-up.

Edmund Pevensie: [to Miraz concerning the proposed duel to the death] So you're bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?

Prince Caspian: [gives Susan her horn back] Maybe it's time you had this back.
Susan Pevensie: [gives the horn back] Why don't you hold on to it - you might need to call me again.
[a pause while Susan and Caspian exchange a long glance]
Lucy Pevensie: [quoting Susan as they ride off] "You might need to call me again"?
Susan Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

Pattertwig the Squirrel: We could collect nuts!
Reepicheep: [sarcastically] Yes! And then throw them at the Telmarines!... Shut up.

Nikabrik: I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance.
Trufflehunter: You know why we can't!
Prince Caspian: If we're taking a vote, I'm with him.

Lucy Pevensie: [holding up one of her old dresses] I was so tall.
Susan Pevensie: Well, you were older then.
Edmund Pevensie: As opposed to hundreds of years later, when you're younger.

Susan Pevensie: Oh no! Pretend you're talking to me!
Edmund Pevensie: We *are* talking to you.

Prince Caspian: What are you?
Trufflehunter: You know, it's funny that you should ask that. You'd think more people would know a badger when they see one.
Prince Caspian: No, I mean you're Narnians. You're supposed to be extinct.
Nikabrik: Sorry to disappoint you.

[Miraz and Peter are preparing to duel]
King Miraz: There is still time to surrender.
Peter Pevensie: Well, feel free.

Susan Pevensie: You see, over time the water erodes into the soil, then--
Peter Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

Peter Pevensie: That's the trouble with girls. They can't keep a map in their heads.
Lucy Pevensie: That's because our heads have something in them.

Peter Pevensie: High King Peter. The Magnificent.
Susan Pevensie: [to Peter] You probably could have left off that last bit.
