I'm not usually one for memes, but this sounded like fun AND a chance for you people to show off your movie knowledge to impress me (and others). Stolen unapologetically from [livejournal.com profile] bluemoon02.

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.



1. One of the ugliest bitches I've ever seen in my life rolled up, and I'm not one to call women ugly, but I think this woman was, because she had a penis.

2. At the beep please leave your name, number and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma and we'll get back to you.

3. What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, "chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please. (The Big Lebowski, [livejournal.com profile] trappedinabay)

4. The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them. (Trainspotting, [livejournal.com profile] minikitkatgirl)

5. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so... much... it... it... the... it... the... fee... flames... flames... on the side of my face... heaving... breathless... heaving breaths... (Clue, [livejournal.com profile] kavieshana)

6. Of course it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article "a" dildo, never "your" dildo. (Fight Club, [livejournal.com profile] minikitkatgirl)

7. On a scale of one to ten, what are the chances that you'll be assassinated - one being highly unlikely, ten being you're expecting it around every corner? (Stranger than Fiction, [livejournal.com profile] bluemoon02)

8. I'm not even supposed to be here! I'm just "Crewman Number Six!" I'm expendable! I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is! (Galaxy Quest, [livejournal.com profile] minikitkatgirl)

9. Children are strange and foreign to me. I never really was one. I do know that they are an important part of the ecosystem. (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, [livejournal.com profile] kavieshana)

10. This ending's silly. Why would the courtesan go for the penniless writer? Whoops. I mean sitar player. (Moulin Rouge! [livejournal.com profile] velmaneuwirth)

11. Philoméne likes the sound of the cat's bowl on the tiles. The cat likes overhearing children's stories.

12. My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. My safety's Harvard. (Rushmore, [livejournal.com profile] vagynafondue)

13. Doctor, I'm takin' your sister under my protection here. If anything happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you, I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears. (Serenity, [livejournal.com profile] velmaneuwirth)

14. How can you put your faith in a man you spectacularly binned for being unreliable? A man whose idea of a romantic nightspot and an impenetrable fortress are the same thing? (Shaun of the Dead, [livejournal.com profile] kavieshana)

15. Today's meeting is Step 5: Bring a fish friend. Everyone brought a fish friend? (Finding Nemo, [livejournal.com profile] velmaneuwirth)


Note: Not all of these count as my "Top 15 favorites," but I discovered that IMDb doesn't always have the best quotes from the movies that ARE my favorites. How lame is THAT? Also, I tried for a variety of difficulty levels. Hint: My icon is not a hint. Good luck!

12. RUSHMORE.

That's all I could get because I suck at quotes.

Hee. Thanks muchly. Anything involving Ewan McGregor and Edward Norton (*especially* Edward Norton being homoerotic with Brad Pitt), and you know I'm all over that like white on rice.

And OH MY GOD what the hell am I smoking that I missed #8?! That's GalaxyQuest! :D I watched that on TV the other night. I effing love that movie.

You're on fire!

I know. I want to see him be the Hulk, but as MyFriendDeb pointed out, he'll probably spend more time as CGI than as Edward.

LOL Everyone loves showing off their knowledge!

HEY GUESS WHO IS ONLINE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS

For me, the most obvious one was 5. CLUE, so wtf at no one else getting that? (On second thought, 8. popped out at me too.)

I'm pretty sure 14. is Shaun of the Dead, and half-way sure that 9. is Lemony Snicket but I've only seen parts of the movie so I dunno.

Wow. Like a ninja you sneak in, and *one* *two* *bam!* *zing!* knock 'em down and disappear. Well done.

I know number 7, but I can't put my finger on it. Is it Stranger than Fiction?

Date: 2008-06-12 02:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] grrgoyl.livejournal.com
Indeed it is! I was afraid no one would get that one : )

YAY!!!! That's the first time I've actually got one of these things right. I like being the quizmaster, but I suck at recall.

#3 is The Big Lebowski, of course!

A+! I was starting to think I had to scrap my entire f-list for not knowing that one. ; )

#2 = ?

Reality Bites?

(from Robin O)

If I'm even right about that, I remember because this is one of a very few movies it seems everyone but me love love loves to hate hate hate. I thought it had its moments. Not like I'd be runnin' around insisting other folks watch it on un-rewound VHS or anything, but it had a few moments.

LOL you are correct, sir! I can't say what I like about it. Perhaps all the hip 80's references. Or pre-felony Winona.
