Here’s my shot at the movie quote meme that’s flying around. All of these are from movies I’ve seen approximately a hundred times each, so I hope they aren’t too hard for the general public — I find it impossible to gauge!
1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie. (or write it yourself if you can, you know, actually remember dialogue from your favourite films)
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions.
Quotes:
1. But I’m not available to drive tomorrow. Busy. Speed;
2. From the moment I first saw you, I knew I was through with bar girls and strippers and motorcycle chicks, and… when we first started talking I was smitten with you, and I’m smitten with you more every day I think about you, and the fact that you know I’m full of crapola only makes you more attractive to me. Tin Cup;
3. A: I love you.
B: Snap out of it! Moonstruck;
4. Someone is either a smoker or a nonsmoker. There’s no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are, and be that. If you’re a nonsmoker, you’ll know. Dead Again;
5. That’s a piecrust promise. Easily made, easily broken. Mary Poppins;
6. Traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that’d end your trip real quick, wouldn’t it? Star Wars;
7. Okay, everybody, shut up! I’d like you to meet my new girl, whose name is… Jersey! Jersey is an ex-kindergarten teacher, and a former nun, who just escaped from the convent, and is tired of being the only virgin in New York City! Would anyone like to buy her a drink? Coyote Ugly;
8. Don’t you get it? Do you see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt! Toy Story;
9. Off the top of my head, I’d say you’re looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever. Ocean’s Eleven;
10. Mr. Takagi, I could talk about men’s fashions and industrialization all day but I’m afraid work must intrude. Die Hard;
11. I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that. Say Anything;
12. I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. Fargo;
13. From here to the eyes and the ears of the ‘Verse, that’s my motto, or it might be if I start having a motto. Serenity;
14. We’ve been eating oranges and makin’ IDs. The Fugitive;
15. A life lived in fear is a life half lived. Strictly Ballroom;
Man, some of these seem so achingly familiar. Here’s what I’ve got so far.
6. Star Wars
9. Ocean’s Eleven
14. The Fugitive
All fabulous picks.
11. Say Anything.
12. Fargo (outstanding choice)
2. Moonstruck
5. Mary Poppins
13. Serenity
1. Speed
4. Dead Again
7. Coyote Ugly
Yeah, I love that quote.
And I think 10 must be from a Kevin Smith movie :).
I still haven’t googled to check, but I thought that 2 was actually Tin Cup. You could be right though. It’s definitely delivered by Kevin Costner.
Okay, I have to check. Googling now. Well, someone agrees with me. I’m going to stick to my guns and go with Tin Cup.
I have an unfair advantage, because when is delivering these quotes, I’m around to hear them.
This one is from Die Hard. The original. Not from one of the excellent sequels.
From Toy Story. Delivered by Tim Allen to Tom Hanks after he realizes that he really is a toy. Excellent pick!
All correct! I love that quote from The Fugitive, one of my all time favourites. I have to say it every time we are having oranges around here :).
Definitely!
Me too, but man, there are so many great ones from that film. It was hard to choose!
Correct!
All right (I assume you meant to type #3 for Moonstruck). I just knew you’d get the Serenity one!
All correct. You should be ashamed 🙂
You got it!
Man, I almost missed all of these awesome quote games! At least I can finish off your list:
#15 – Strictly Ballroom
Of course! It’s all so familiar now that I can hear it in the voice of Hans Gruber.
I knew you’d get it :).
Ah! I was sure it was “Love Actually” but you’re absolutely right.
