Only one person took the challenge here ...
The answers:
"Don't look now but ... " "I'm dead."
That was "Don't Look Now" - Daphne du Maurier.
"Doady?" I married the wrong woman.
That was "David Copperfield" by Dickens. The clue was the use of Dora's name for him - Doady.
Fatal drifting tendency led to murder.
Tess of the D'Urbevilled - Thomas Hardy - I built on a famous quote:
it was not clear to him till later; that his original Tess had spiritually ceased to recognize the body before him as hers—allowing it to drift, like a corpse upon the current, in a direction dissociated from its living will.
Boy's best friend isn't always Mum.
Oedipus Rex - Sophocles. And here I was inspired by Tom Lehrer's take on it:
"One thing on which you can depend is ...
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!"

It might be fun trying to encapulate existing novels / films in the six words.
"Don't look now but ... " "I'm dead."
"Doady?" I married the wrong woman.
Fatal drifting tendency led to murder.
Boy's best friend isn't always Mum.
You, of course, get to spot 'em.

I love the nose dive my scores take when it comes to emotionality and morality. And the opposite for immoderation - yeah, they nailed that.

My inner child is six years old!
Look what I can do! I can walk, I can run, I can
read! I like to do stuff, and there's a whole
big world out there to do it in. Just so long
as I can take my blankie and my Mommy and my
three best friends with me, of course.
How Old is Your Inner Child?

Yep. That's about right.
Let's remember the immortal words of the creatopr of Winnie-the-Pooh:
The End
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three,
I was hardly Me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

Yeah! Go Mel!

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.
