1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
It was surprisingly hard for me to think of 15 favorite movies that other people hadn't already done. IMDb was sadly lacking in quotes for my favorite Czech surrealist horror film, so you were spared that piece of obscurity.
1) "And you should see my Harry on Television. We're giving the prizes away. I JUST WANTED TO BE ON THE SHOW!" -
Requiem for a Dream 2) "In spite of all his imperfections, I'm a fan of man! I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist." -
The Devil's Advocate
3) "The kid gets it all. Just plant us in the damn garden, next to the stupid lion." -
Secondhand Lions 4) "You girl scouts want to hear a story? Once apon a time there was a magical place that never rained... The end." -
Holes
5) "Not piss paint, Jean, oxidation art!" -
Basquiat (I forgive people for never having seen this one, as it is slightly more obscure. It does, however, feature David Bowie as Andy Warhol, and thus everyone needs to see it).
6) "They told me I was one of them, and I... the wine, chocolates, cigars, style... I swallowed it. I swallowed it, I swallowed all of it. And they handed me their shit. I have no... no history. I have no memory. I'm a fool, Tati." -
Hotel Rwanda
7) "Gimme back my hand... GIMME BACK MY HAND!" -
caerfree got it! -
Evil Dead II 8) "I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual! Oh my god... they were right. I'm a homo." -
But I'm a Cheerleader 9) "Is that a kind of occupational hazard of soul mates ? One's not much without the other ?" -
What Dreams May Come 10) "I think I need a root canal. I definitely need a long, slow root canal." -
Little Shop of Horrors 11) "What is going on here? Why would you lock me in? And why are you receiving phone calls from J. Edgar Hoover?" -
starherd got it!
Clue 12) "What have we here, laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No! Poems, no less! Poems, everybody!" -
The Wall 13) "I see. You and your wife, you work in the theater. And you live here... in Siberia. " "It's just temporary. " "Of course. Nobody is here permanently." -
White Nights 14) "It's not even a proper novel. It's nothing but an encyclopedia of perversions. Frankly, it even fails as an exercise in craft. The characters are wooden, the diologue is inane. Not to mention the repetition of words like "nipple" and "pikestaff". " -
Quills
15) "So many women, and all these transformations and disguises he invents in order to seduce them. Sometimes a shower of gold, sometimes a bull or a swan. Why, once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish." -
starherd got it! -
Clash of the Titans ETA: I felt bad that no one guessed most of my movies. ^_^; This is probably my fault for a) not watching many recent movies b) having a small flist. I didn't think any of the choices were that obscure, even though I did let a few indie films sneak in; they were all widely watched and had famous actors and/or directors. Still, the movies are all good, and I wanted people to see what they were, so I've posted the answers.
