Movie Quotes Meme: Answers
This was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who participated. I think everyone did better than they thought!
The quotes I choose were all from films I really loved, mostly in my top 20 films of all time. Not surprisingly The Princess Bride, one of the most quotable movies of all time, had the most correctly guessed quote. Pretty close behind were the quotes for Scream, Back to the Future, Part 1, and Dirty Dancing.
I actually thought the quote from The Breakfast Club would get more correct guesses since it feels so distinctive and unique to that movie. No one guessed the quote from Speed. I picked the quote from The Mighty even though I had a feeling a lot of people wouldn't get it. I'd recommend all the movies (especially my favorite Stand By Me) but I'd definitely recommend that one. It's a lovely, funny, sweet, and sad little movie with the added bonus of a lot of King Arthur and the roundtable talk for all of my Merlin friends.
The winner was:
heartsdesire456. She had an impressive 14 points! So if you want a vid or a drabble, you can choose. My main fandoms are Merlin and Torchwood. I could do a vid for Grey's Anatomy as well.
velociraptor52 came in second with an impressive 12 and half points!
Tied for third were ragdoll and donutsweeper with a pretty cool eight points.
And in fifth was roelliej with a lucky seven points!
1. "It was Freak told me about King Arthur. It was Freak told me everything." The Mighty, Max
2. "WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever." The Princess Bride, Westley
3. "Poor people are crazy, Jack. I'm eccentric." Payne, Speed
4. "But face it. You're a neo maxi zoom dweebie, what would you be doing if you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?" John Bender, The Breakfast Club
5. "Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket." Mikey, The Goonies
6. "Look, you're not gonna be picking a fight, Dad... Dad-Dad-Daddy-O." Marty McFly, Back to the Future, part 1
7. "Chris I'm begging you, it's really scary here. I've just seen three people shoot up, a bald Chinese lady with no pants on, and there's this old guy outside who wants his bedroom slippers!" Brenda, Adventures in Babysitting
8. "What's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting." Sidney Prescott, Scream
9. "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." Baby, Dirty Dancing
10. "It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories you can make up. And He said, "This is what we got for ya, kid. Try not to lose it." Kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should." Chris Chambers, Stand By Me
