Pick your 15 favourite movies (more difficult than it looks). Find a quote from each of them. Post said quotes in your LJ.
1. "That's not fair!"
"You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is?" Labyrinth - gotten by canadianevil and totchipanda
2. "And that, I think, was the handle - -that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - gotten by blehmeh05
3. "But still the clever north wind was not satisfied. It spoke to Vianne of towns yet to be visited, friends in need yet to be discovered, battles yet to be fought... By someone else, next time." - Chocolat - gotten by mindmistress and totchipanda
4. "I don't like boats, I don't like water. I'm a man, not a fish!"
"Oh, you complain endlessly."
"You look like a woman, you stupid haggis!" - Highlander - gotten by blehmeh05
5. "In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!" - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - gotten by canadianevil, tallfemalemanta, and totchipanda
6. "Because I be, what I be. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, mum, but I be a cat. And no cat anywhere, ever gave anyone a straight answer." - The Last Unicorn - gotten by totchipanda
7. "Don't pay anybody in advance. And don't ride in anything with a Capissen 38 engine, they fall right out of the sky." Serenity - gotten by mindmistress, totchipanda, with partial credit to canadianevil
8. "You threw a knife at my head!"
"Yes, and you caught it. Only the chosen one could have caught it." Buffy the Vampire Slayer (circa 1992) - gotten by mindmistress
9. "My own brother a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire! Oh, you wait 'til Mom finds out, buddy." The Lost Boys - gotten by mindmistress and totchipanda
10. "Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb." Spaceballs - gotten by mindmistress
11. "Fuck this court. Fuck Jim Lahey. Fuck Randy. Fuck those two idiot cops right there. Fuck suit dummies; as a matter of fact fuck legal aid. Fuck Danny and Terry's Buffalo Chicken Wings. Fuck all the old wood in here. Fuck the moon, fuck corn on the cob, fuck squirrels. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything!" - The Trailer Park Boys: The Movie - gotten by tallfemalemanta
12. "Boy, the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant fuckin' Mark Twain shit. 'Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone." The Devil's Rejects - gotten by mindmistress
13. "That's just what this country needs: a cock in a frock on a rock." The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - gotten by mindmistress
14. "When a man's jawbone drops off it's time to reassess the situation."
15. "There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing." American Psycho - gotten by mindmistress
