I'll admit I've spent quite a bit of my life doing that--indeed, more than I'd like to admit.
One aside; when my daughter was in college she took a modern cinema course with a professor who sought to be provocative in his selections of movies. Some were big releases (like Blue Velvet and Requiem for a Dream), some were smaller (like Badlands and Eraserhead), and some were even obscure (like the soft core porn Faster Pussycat Kill, Kill and Salo). It amazed my daughter (and him, after she told him) than not had I seen them all, but I had most in my collection. Indeed, I gave her a few titles to recommend to the professor and he enjoyed them as well (she aced the course, and got a newfound respect for my taste in movies, even though she didn't share it).

Untrue!
I also watch a lot of television...
I do have an interest in movies and also took several cinema courses in college...
I also have a pretty good memory so if I've seen the flick there's a fair chance I'll remember most of the major quotes from it when somebody brings one up...
ETA:
If no one gets this one by this afternoon, I'm going to go ahead and answer it...BTW, there's a clue contained in my response to Big RR about the movie:

What am I? Chopped liver? You can at least say "no".
(Re the actual answer: I know what it is now and I did see it - but how on earth do you and LJ remember so much of the damn dialog?)

Sorry Meade, I missed your guess. But you are right, it is not correct.
As for how I remember the dialog--many times it just sticks with me--especially if the character saying it is memorable. FWIW, I always google any lines I post to be certain I get them correct.
I have absolutely no recollection of any line, image or storyline of the movie concerned. It was that boring

Narrow it down further, narrow it down to a movie I've seen.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
It's about a girl named Debbie and she moves to a city in Texas

“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
As soon as Big RR verifies that I have given the correct answer, (as per the rules) I will treat you all to a quote from an even more obscure cult movie...
