Fo shizzle, I thought these would be among the first to get called correctly. Answers to the all-comedy edition of the movie quotes:

4. That's not what men do. I know no men who do that.
This is from The American President, when he wants to hop out and get flowers because he has to break a date.

9. If you start out depressed, everything's kind of a pleasant surprise.
This one really shocks me that no one got -- considering Say Anything... is one of the most universally loved movies I know of.

11. I'm about to be a married woman, and I can't go chasing off after the Beatles.
I'm honestly not surprised no one called this -- I think I may be the only person who knows and loves I Wanna Hold Your Hand, which I've written about before in my Movies You May Not Have Seen posts.

14. I've met some hard-boiled eggs in my day, but I'd say you're about 20 minutes!
And I figured for certain that with Mel in the news so much right now, and Chicken Run a much-loved movie, people would remember this one, but they didn't. It's hard to reconcile how great he is as a voice character in this, and the asshat he is in real life.

Dude, I almost guessed that #11 was from I Wanna Hold Your Hand, but I figured that was too obscure, and it's been probably 25 years since I've seen it, so I didn't!

Hanging in shame over here

I knew I knew both (9) and (14) and I might have gotten as far as thinking the one sounded very John Cusack but then I went to High Fidelity and from there to Nick Hornby and the previous quote was About a Boy and I thought it unlikely there'd be two Hornbys in a row and, you know, I'm just not so bright. Sigh. -em.

I actually Googled #4 because it was so familiar and yet, nothing was coming to me. I was very disappointed to not know that one!

You SO are not.

I knew #9 was familiar! I just couldn't place it. I kept thinking it was a movie with Johnny Depp, but now of course I can even picture the scene where John Cusack says the line. Oh well. That's a fun game. :)

Hah! I knew the movie but couldn't remember the title & wasn't going to cheat by looking it up. But I knew it, I can hear it in my head & everything!

*goes off being ridiculously pleased about this*
