Quote me

[gwyn]

I remember seeing a couple people do movie quote things that I meant to do before, but when mlyn did it the other day, it finally jogged my memory. It's almost impossible for me to pick 15 favorite movies, especially since my list changes daily, and these are in no order because I can barely make a list without changing it. I suppose I really ought to do the all-drama and all-comedy editions. Anyway, here are the rules:

A. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
B. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is.
E. Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.

So, yeah, here goes. NO Googling, looking on IMDB, checking film sites, or other cheating. Use your own noggins!
1. In technical terms: He's a loon.
rusty_halo The Terminator

2. You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking.
greensilver The Wizard of Oz

3. You're like Jerry Lewis, you give me hope to carry on, then you leave me in the lurch while you strap on your six-guns...
M Buckaroo Banzai

4. Oh, if only that were true.

5. Wake up. Time to die.
M Blade Runner

6. They took care of me fine. They trained me to use these things. I can dial telephones, I can drive a car, I can even put nickels in the jukebox.
unovis_lj The Best Years of Our Lives

7. Hurts, don't it?
movies_michelle Tombstone

8. Memories were meant to fade... they're designed that way for a reason.
ianmcin Strange Days

9. Eleven-hundred men went into the water, 316 men come out...
M Jaws

10. Of course he's beneath us. He's an actor!
M My Favorite Year

11. There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate.
M The Right Stuff

12. There's one thing I don't understand. The thing I don't understand is, every motherfuckin' word you're saying.
klia The Limey

13. Oh, good! My dog found the chainsaw!
sdwolfpup Lilo & Stitch

14. I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.
M The Lion in Winter (don't hurt me, Christy, this was for you!)

15. Whose baby?

Whoa! No fair! Everyone's going to yell at me because you took half the list! ;-)

Re: damn those sound familiar....

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Also, yes, that's Brion James in Blade Runner, and the narrator (Levon Helm) in the Right Stuff.

Rutger Hauer also uses the line at the very end, when *he* dies and releases the dove.

Oh man, I know I know 7, but I can't place it.

13. Lilo and Stitch

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Yes! There are so many incredible lines in that movie, it's impossible to pick.

[trelkez.livejournal.com]

#2 is The Wizard of Oz (and the Wizard of Oz *g*).

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Yay! I wasn't sure if anyone would pull that up since it's not one of the more famous lines (but it's certainly one of my faves).

[trelkez.livejournal.com]

I love Judy Garland as much as the next girl with three gay uncles. I had to watch that movie a loooot as a kid. *g*

12. Wilson in The Limey.

[klia.livejournal.com]

Whoops, not Wilson, but one of the DEA guys talking *about* Wilson.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Yes! Good call!

[klia.livejournal.com]

Bill Duke!

8. Memories were meant to fade... they're designed that way for a reason.

Strange Days?

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Got it!

[unovis.livejournal.com]

Is 6 from The Best Years of Our Lives?
(15 is diabolical)

[boniblithe.livejournal.com]

I think you got it, and Homer P said it *g*

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

I cannot believe ANYone got this, let alone that you and Boniblithe appear to both know it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person in my age group who's even seen this movie, let alone has it on their best list. You're sure you didn't search for it? ;-)

And yes, 15 is diabolical, but to me, it's the fucking funniest line in the movie, let alone in any movie. I laughed myself sick over it.

[unovis.livejournal.com]

No, didn't cheat. I love the movie, too.

#1 - The Terminator
#8 - Strange Days

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Yay, someone got The Terminator! It's only my favotie movie (well, this week, anyway).

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

yeah, that would be favorite when I'm apparently not typing like I'm drunk.

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Is #7 from Serenity, or am I crazy? :-)

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

It's just wishful thinking. ;-) But you're close in terms of the tone of the film.

[movies-michelle.livejournal.com]

Heh. I appreciate the LiW quote! *g*

Also, #7 is, of course, Tombstone.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Oui, absolutement. You have now redeemed yourself from saying "a oppossum." No spankings.

[movies-michelle.livejournal.com]

Whew!
