DUMP MONTH! PUZZLE #60: Anacrostic

PUZZLE #60

ANACROSTIC

It's the final puzzle of Dump Month, and in keeping with the theme of posting puzzle types that GAMES won't accept from newcomers, I present to you an Anacrostic (though they call it a "Double Cross")! I wasn't sure how to make one of these at first, so I finally cracked open my copy of Puzzlecraft for something other than scanning in a grid, and I gotta say that it helped a lot! Read on for the fruits of my labor!

Answer the clues on the numbered dashes below, one number per dash. Then transfer the letters on the dashes to the correspondingly numbered squares in the puzzle to reveal a quote reading from left to right. The black spaces separate words, and some words may go from one row to the next. Solve this puzzle by going back and forth between the answers and the grid, but be careful though, since this particular quote contains two contractions that aren't marked in the grid with apostrophes.

This week's FINAL ANSWER is the quote's source: a commercially successful movie that premiered in January (one of the traditional "dump months"). In case you don't want to look it up, you can also get the FINAL ANSWER by reading the first letter of each answer in order.

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured that one out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
