Idea stolen from
junolovesmars Below I am going to list 10 quotes from 10 different movies, whoever gets the most (without copy/pasting them in google or IMDB) wins! What's your prize? Nothing! Well maybe some sweet satisfaction. You get 1 point for identifying the movie, 1 point for identifying the character/actor who spoke the line, and 2 points if you can name the director.
1. "You don't have to read a book to have an opinion." Metropolitan - Whit Stilman (the cold medicine made me put Noah Baumbach and that's not right)

I wonder how many little black and white children have yellow nightmares, their own special brand of fear for the yellow peril... Damn it, it's got to be more... positive. No, more negative! Start again. Yellow is the color of caution. No. Yellow is the color of cowardice. Yellow is the color of sunshine. And yet I see very little sunshine in the lives of all the little black and white children. I see their lives, rather, as a study in grayness, a mixture of black and... Oh, Christ, no. That's fascist. Yellow! Yellow, yellow, yellow. Yellow fever..." Opal (Geraldine Chaplin) in Nashville - Robert Altman

brodie890 4. "Second cousin. The kids don't come out funny or anything, I checked." Natalie in A Little Romance - George Roy Hill
5. "I think we have the kind of friendship where if I were the devil, you'd be the only one I would tell." Aaron Altman in Broadcast News - James L. Brooks
6. "I think JFK's a sweet potato." Shag
stellar_ball 7. "Do you know what this family needs? A mute." Gus in The Ref
globetrotter1 8. "Wow, now you can read Seventeen magazine and get all the references." Max in Kicking and Screaming - Noah Baumbach
brodie890 9. "You licked my ear. I'd have bought a dog if I wanted my ear licked." Wilbur in Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself
10. "Maybe not everything is supposed to last forever. Certain things are like, like sky writing, like a really beautiful thing that lasts for a couple moments and then - you know? I know honey, love sucks." Leslie (Cynthia Nixon) in Little Manhattan
And if you haven't seen these movies, go and see them. Seriously, these are some of my favorite films.
