movie quotes meme

[geekchick]

From a bunch of people on the ol' f-list:

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. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. "Would you like a free condom? They're boysenberry.[...] My boyfriend wears them every time we have intercourse, it makes his junk smell like pie." ["Juno"; anonymous passerby]


2. "Me? I've had so many names. Old names that only the wind and the trees can pronounce. I am the mountain, the forest and the earth."


3. "So, young woman, the way forward is sometimes the way back." ["Labyrinth"; mac_arthur_park]


4. "You still have options, man." "Yeah, jail or Canada, and they both suck." ["Across the Universe", anonymous passerby]


5. "Yeah, I was perfectly fine here until I was hit by a magical flying MORON!" ["Stardust"; ladykathryn and celestyna]


6. "So much stuff, so little time to snoop."


7. "I am no longer astonished at you knowing only six accomplished women, [X], I rather wonder at your knowing any." ["Pride and Prejudice", jasonhollister and patgreene


8. "I've spent my entire life doing nothing but collecting comic books... and now there's only time to say... LIFE WELL SPENT!" ["The Simpsons Movie"; quasigeostrophy]


9. "Shush. You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get married somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This...this twisted, toxic thing between us is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living. And you're not going to be in it." ["The Holiday"; amylgam]


10. "You want to know why I wrote that stupid book? [...] So that you might come to a reading in Paris and I could walk up to you and ask 'Where the f*ck were you?'"


11. "It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much life." ["Harold and Maude"; hnybny]


12. "When I talk about belief, why do you always assume I'm talking about God?" ["Serenity"; mdunnbass, submarine_bells, nixieq, sistercoyote]


13. "You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."


14. "You can never go home again, Oatman... but I guess you can shop there." ["Gross Pointe Blank"; quasigeostrophy]


15. "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?" ["The Usual Suspects"; phinnia]

Darn, #5 is lurking somewhere along the edges of my memory, but I just can't place it...

If your readers want more movie-guessing fun, my own version of the meme is here...

[celestyna.livejournal.com]

Stardust :)

The only reason I remembered is because I just saw it again.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

#15 - The Usual Suspects. <3 <3

[geekchick]

14. Gross Pointe Blank

[geekchick]

We have a winnah!

[tisiphone.livejournal.com]

#5 is from Stardust.

[geekchick]

Yep! I think it's about time to watch it again, too.

[mdunnbass.livejournal.com]

#12 is from Serenity. I loved Shepherd Book. And Wash. RIP

[geekchick]

That's it.

I am really, really interested in knowing more of Book's backstory.

[submarine-bells.livejournal.com]

#12 is from "Serenity", isn't it?

[geekchick]

Yep!

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

3. Labyrinth

[geekchick]

Ayup!

[nixieq.livejournal.com]

#12 is serenity: the movie, book to mal. i know i SHOULD know several others (2, 4, & 5, for sure), but that's all i got.

[geekchick]

For #2, I confess to cutting out a part at the end that probably would've given the title away.

[amylgam.livejournal.com]

#9 is The Holiday.

[geekchick]

Yep! When picking the list, it was a toss-up between that and "Love Actually".

[hnybny.livejournal.com]

I think #11 is Harold & Maude.

[geekchick]

It is indeed. =)

[sistercoyote.livejournal.com]

#12 is Serenity. Book to Mal.

[geekchick]

Yep, that's it.

[curiousangel.livejournal.com]

Let's see... is #2 from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"? No? OK, how about "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle"? No? Damn. "300"? No, not that, either. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? "Bring It On"? Wow, I'm sure striking out a lot here... :)

[geekchick]

Party on, Garth! ;)

Hey, I recently found a Carolyn Hax book on one of my shelves that I'm pretty sure isn't actually mine; did I borrow it from you lo these many years ago?

[argh-jim.livejournal.com]

Hi, I've added you just 'cause. Hopefully my LJ is interesting enough for you to add me back.

[jasonhollister.livejournal.com]

Number 7 is "Pride and Prejudice", unless I'm very much mistaken. And of course it's Elizabeth addressing Mr. Darcy.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

I recognized #5, but too late...

Haven't seen any of the others, alas.

[patgreene.livejournal.com]

7 is "Pride and Prejudice," although I have not seen the movie I have watched (and forced the family to watch) the Colin Firth miniseries over and over and over. ("Quote from K: "You've ruined Jane Austen for me, Mom.")

[(Anonymous)]

And number 4 is from "Across the Universe", which I finally saw last night. Personally, I'd take Canada over Vietnam.
