Fun with movies
So I did this about a year ago, and decided that I want to do it again. It's pretty much because having this whole week off has left me resorting to some sad measures to take up time. Hopefully as many people play this time as they did before. That would be quite sad. Anyways, have fun! For now, we'll limit the guesses the 3 per person, so no one solves the whole list and ruins the fun for everyone else.
Step 1: Pick out 15 movies you love.(20 is too many!)
Step 2: Pick (one of your) favorite quotation(s) from said movies.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what movies the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the movies when someone guesses correctly.
1. Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp. It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man, who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed. A diamond in the rough. - Aladdin
2. R: Hey, hey! What's this I see? I thought this was a party. LET'S DANCE! - Footloose
3. D: You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. - Pride and Prejudice
4. B: Want to catch a robber?
L: No. To tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling. Look, what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing... just to shake things up? - The Incredibles
5. C: Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear.
[Blows whistle]
M: Oh, no, sir, I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle. Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me. It would be too... humiliating.
C: Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey?
M: Oh, much more, sir. - The Sound of Music
6. S: OK, so... so... sometimes I lie. I mean, I'm weird, man. About random stuff too, I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, 'Wow, that wasn't even remotely true.' - Garden State
7. J: [In the house on the beach] I really need to go. I should catch my ride.
C: So go.
J: I did. I walked out the door. I was too nervous. I thought, maybe you were a nut. But you were exciting. I felt like I was a scared little kid.
C: You were scared?
J: Yeah. I thought you knew that about me. I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
C: Was it something I said?
J Yeah, you said 'so go'. Said it with such disdain you know?
C: Oh, I'm sorry.
J: It's ok.
C: I wish you had stayed.
J: I wish I had stayed too. I swear to God I wish I had stayed. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish... I wish I had stayed.
[Walking out]
C: What if you stayed this time?
J: I walked out the door. There's no memory left.
C: Come back and make up a good-bye at least. Pretend we had one. - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
8. F: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact.' People DO fall in love. People do belong to each other. Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, yet you're terrified that somebody's gonna put you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in a cage and you built it yourself. And it's not bound on the east by Somali Land or on the west by Tulip, Texas. It's everywhere you go. Because no matter where you run, you're always going to end up running into yourself. - Breakfast at Tiffany's
9. M: It's right, that today's Halloween. It was her favorite holiday. I knew we'd hit it off the first time we met. There was, this skinhead that was harassing her. And she walked right up to him and said, "I'm more of a man than you'll ever be- and more of a woman than you'll ever get!" - Rent
10. H: I think my eyes are getting better. Now instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur.
L: There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know.
H: You're gonna die here, you know. - Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
11. V: I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No... not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that... over-throws life. Unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. Love - like there has never been in a play. - Shakespeare in Love
12. G: You've never ridden on a train, have you? They're fantastic! Everybody stands up, close together, and there are no seats!
Gi: There aren't any seats?
G: Seats? On a train? It's obvious you've never ridden one before! No, everybody's packed in, standing up. Look at this line to get on! Hey, we've got tickets, save room for us! - Life is Beautiful
13. D: Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous :censored: secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather it's a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.
14. D: Why'd ya come back?
J: Well, I guess I can't be somethin' I ain't.
D: What, a scab?
J: No, smart. -Newsies
15. B: What do you call this?
D: Chinese fighting muffin.
B: That's not funny. A friend of mine took a fighting muffin in the chest; they sent him home in four Ziploc bags. - Charlie's Angels
