Also looking for opinions on whether I should keep or remove quotes #16 and 17:
- #16 (Lord of Illusions): Title Card (first lines): "There are two worlds of magic. One is the glittering domain of the illusionist. The other is a secret place, where magic is a terrifying reality. Here, men have the power of demons. And death itself is an illusion."
- #17 (Nightbreed): "See I've cleaned up a lot of breeders, families like cesspools; filth making filth making filth. And I did it over and over and over again, but it was all leading me here... I was born to destroy them... and the breed together.

I'm torn between that one and 'God's an astronaut'
..Edit: My vote now goes to a newly added quote that I rediscovered while rewatching Nightbreed today:
...How symbolic and beautiful. I might begin the quote at "You call us monsters.." so ppl read the whole thing
- Rachel: "To be able to fly, to be smoke, or a wolf? To know the night and live in it forever? That's not so bad. You call us 'monsters,' but when you dream, you dream of flying, and changing, and living without death. You envy us, and what you envy...
- Lori: "....We destroy"

Already did
I like to think other people aren't as lazy as me, but it's probably not a safe assumption. Even if a poll requires no reading (e.g. favourite poster polls) I stop scrolling around option 20

That... That would be a really tough poll to vote, great job.
Since Barker's directorial works are (frustratingly unfortunately) scarce I wonder whether adaptations of his works are eligible. If so, then FYC:
"Be my victim."
"I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Without these things, I am nothing. So now, I must shed innocent blood. Come with me."
"You were not content with the stories, so I was obliged to come."
"Welcome."

Thank ya! and hmm I'm not sure.. Barker started directing in the first place because he didn't like some filmmaker's adaptations of his books. I feel like if they were taken from actual lines in his books it'd be okay, because the main purpose is to recognize what a boss Clive is on his own. However, there are already 15 amazing quotes and some other good ones I left out, and if I broadened the requirements it would be hard to even narrow it down to 35, and even harder for anyone to pick a favourite

Oh, and fun fact: "Jesus wept." was actually "F*ck you." in the script. A reminder that sometimes what actor comes up with might significantly improve and elevate the scene.
