1). Select 20 of your favorite films.
2). Look them up on IMDB, or access your quipable verbal memory banks, and select a quote from each.
3). Post the quotes and allow your friends to try and guess the films (no cheating, i.e. no google, IMDB, etc!)
4). Bold or strikeout each quote as it is correctly guessed.

I really don't expect people to guess very many of these, some of them are very obscure.  What can I say?  I have odd taste.  I like weird films, too.  I did not consult on some of these, I just went from memory, so if they're a word off, forgive me.

1).     "Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus."   American Beauty guessed by Michael (who isn't on LJ)

2).     "I'm in my tree, talking to the Dixie Chicks, and they're making me feel better!"

3).     "Because if I'm right, then these are miracles, Mack, and it is an inappropriate response to get a headache in the presence of a miracle."

4).     "Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City 'Sailor wanna hump-hump' bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."  As Good As It Gets guessed by Michael (who isn't on LJ)

5).     "My mouth shouldn't be accepting other people's lozenges right now."

          "Who knows where thoughts come from?  They just appear!"

9).      "I don't get it. First they steal the body and leave the clothes, then they take the clothes and bring the body back. Who would do a thing like that? "

12).   "Television. Television is the explanation for this - you see this in bad television. Little assault guys creeping through the vents, coming in through the ceiling - that James Bond shit never happens in real life! Professionals don't do that!" Boondock Saints guessed by

We demand shock.'  You know it doesn't seem right, sitting on the East Side, talking about revolution."

19).   "The Preacher said it absolved us!"
