OK, I Had Fun

[madshutterbug]

So, we gonna play The Movie Meme!

A. Pick 16 movies that you have actually seen all of and liked.
B. Pick a favorite quote from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is [starcat_jewel says "without Googling, you cheating bastards."]
E. Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser’s username directly after the quote.


1: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING? Blade Runner, wedschilde (& with my complete and utter faith it would be you *G*)

2: I don't mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one. Casablanca, lolleeroberts

3: Come here little chicken. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to eat you. The Frisco Kid, marjai (Not to be confused with an earlier, Jimmy Cagnie movie Frisco Kid)

4: Afraid this tea's pathetic. Must have used these wretched leaves about twenty times. It's not that I mind so much. Tea without milk is so uncivilized. The Great Escape, wedschilde

5: My grandfather used to work for your grandfather. Of course the rates have gone up. Young Frankenstein, tinne

6: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible. To Kill a Mockingbird, lolleeroberts

7: Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. Serenity, zompus

8: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten. Pulp Fiction, wedschilde

9: I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children. Lion in Winter, lolleeroberts

10: Eet's so beeg. Eet's chust so BEEG. First Nudie Musical, marjai (With a wonderful cameo, uncredited, by Ron Howard)

11: Sometimes the magic works. Sometimes it doesn't.

12: Oh, I see! So God made you, and the baker, apparently, made God?

13: Very good... but not my favorite. Chocolat, lolleeroberts

14: We would not seek a battle as we are, yet as we are, we say we will not shun it. Henry V, wedschilde (With Kevin Brannagh!)

15: Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff. Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, betnoir

16: I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. Blazing Saddles, marjai


Have fun, now.

ETA: Oh come on now, guys. There's still six unidentified. wedschilde, you sure you don't want to play?

And we're off and running!

First one's a dead cert

[lolleeroberts.livejournal.com]

9. Lion in Winter. Katherine Hepburn, holding up a necklace.

13. Chocolat. Johnny Depp to Juliette Binoche

6. To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch to Jem

Re: First one's a dead cert

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Give the lady something to hang... um, no, it would shock the children. *G*

[lolleeroberts.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the penny dropped on this one.

2. Casablanca - Bogie to Peter Lorre.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Of all the LJ's in the world... *G*

[lolleeroberts.livejournal.com]

Do you get the feeling we spent a few too many Saturdays watching old black and white classics when we were kids?

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Nah. Can never spend too many Saturdays watching old B&W classics. *G*

Yanno, on my part, it's I love photography, and cinematography is another genre of photography, and I love B&W. Oh, it certainly doesn't hurt that I love theatre too. One of my pet peeves is when a "Remake" of some movie is advertised; 99% of them aren't remakes, it's some other story. There may be some resemblance, but it ain't the same movie. Theatre has a much better (IMNSHO) record on this; there can be all kinds of variations on set, costume, possibly even period, but by golly it will be the same play. Lots of interpretations, but the same story.

As a movie buff I am dissapointed I know none of these. :( Number 8 sounds familiar though...

[zompus.livejournal.com]

I had to look up 8, and then I (figuratively) slapped myself in the forehead for not remembering that one.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

So, this is a pass, then?

[zompus.livejournal.com]

Yes, because I "cheated."

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Bastige. Ya bastige ya.

[zompus.livejournal.com]

But I remember the scene now where it was said.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

And a fine scene it is, neh?

[zompus.livejournal.com]

Yup. The locations involved really are 30 minutes' worth of driving apart, but you can get there in 10 if you don't let traffic get in your way. The character would have basically had to drive around, over, and on other cars to get there that fast.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

I have a penchant for odd movies. And, being the evil, wicked, mean, and nasty fellow that I am, I've tried to find somewhat obscure quotes from same.

[thatwordgrrl.livejournal.com]

15 - one of the few Kubrick films I can stand, Dr. Strangelove

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Indeed. (Well, I like a few other Kubrick films.)

[tinne.livejournal.com]

#5 — sounds so familiar. Is that "Young Frankenstein"? That scene where Feldman is carrying in the luggage...? Along with the "I'll take the one in the toiban"?

As for the rest — stump-o-rama.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Yes, though I'm proud of myself for staying away from the knockers quote.

As for the rest of them, what? Oh come on now. There's at least four up there you should know.

[bordercolliebrs.livejournal.com]

We dont know any of these.
Da Bros

Houdini: Well, I think I remember hearing the one in 7 once when I was in the House, but somebody already picked that one.

[marjai.livejournal.com]

In my heart of hearts, I must be in love with Gene Wilder:

16. Blazing Saddles
3. Cisco Kid

And going out on a very scary limb here:
10. First Nudie Musical

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

You correctly identified Gene Wilder being in both 16 & 3, though you've got the name close but not exact for 3. So, I'll be giving you 3: Frisco Kid.

And yes, 10 is First Nudie Musical. *G*

[shlafe.livejournal.com]

You don't know me, but lomer is our mutual friend, and somehow I ended up here, so I'm going to venture a guess on #4 - Bridgit Jones' Diary?

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Welcome, welcome, come on in. We don't bite, though we've been known to nibble. It's a worthy offering, but alas, no, #4 is not Bridgit Jones' Diary.

Might one presume, from the icon, and being a friend of lomer, that you also enjoy a theatrical bent?

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Oops. Pesky html tags, wandering around like that.

[shlafe.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm going to steal this meme... :)

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

Feel free! Just remember to file of the serial numbers. *G*

[shlafe.livejournal.com]

I looked it up after I answered and saw that I was about as far wrong as one could get!!! :)

Yeah, I do theater stuff, mostly the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire (hence the picture). If you've been, you've most likely seen me. I used to be Lomer's counterpart (white vs. black in chess) before she discovered the Wonderful World of Paid Performance. :)

you'll have to post an update.

[wedschilde.livejournal.com]

i lost it in the shuffle.

1. bladerunner

4. the great escape

8. pulp fiction

questionables:
11. princess bride? the wizard and his wife. billy crystal and carol king kissed.

14. a quote from henry V? but i can't say movie for sure. it's buzzing around my head.

Re: you'll have to post an update.

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

#1: The one, the only... Blade Runner
#4: Hilts! Cooler
#8: Pulp Fiction

However, #11 is not Princess Bride.

Re: you'll have to post an update.
