Famous First Lines: Thursday

Yesterday's title was The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis. Today's first line is...

"I'd never given much thought to how I would die - though I'd had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this."

Hint: This line comes from the preface of the book, and also happens to be a very popular movie.
