And here's the resulting movie quote:
Solver Eric Maddy managed to amaze me after he sent me the correct FINAL ANSWER only three minutes after this puzzle went up. After I asked him how he did it, he replied thusly: "I used the hint that the first letters spelled out the title, jotted as many of the "first letters" down as I could really quick, then mentally filled in the blanks and Googled to make sure that was actually a January movie title. Then speedily sent in answer (because I'm a showoff)." For the record, after he sent me the answer, he did indeed solve the rest of the puzzle.
Solver Grant Fikes had a quibble with one of the clues: "It feels very odd to call a swamp or a savanna a HABITAT without the context of things living there (I'd say "This swamp is the habitat of numerous species of plant and animal species", not "This swamp is a habitat"). I am not an ecologist, but BIOME feels like a more correct answer to that clue to me."
Solver John Davis said that this was "Solid work, though I was able to get the answer well before the puzzle itself was completed owing to the acrostic effect. The only complaint I have is the dashes above numbers on the printable version are variable-width, and thus rather small on the single-digit numbers."
Solver Tyler Hinman "Had it six answers in, but no big. :-)"

And here's the resulting movie quote:
"If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her."The movie that the quote comes from is THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, which opened on January 23, 2004 and made $96 million on a $13 million budget.
