Guess the film in 15 quotes

Feb 23, 2008 16:55

Oh OK then, I was going to do this when I first saw it, but I finally got my round tuit supply in. Rules:
+ Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
+ Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
+ Post them here for everyone to guess.
+ Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
+ NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

  1. I always gagged on the silver spoon. Citizen Kane, guessed by thepunkprincess
  2. Half of writing history is hiding the truth. Serenity, guessed by yuxonomei. It was deliberately more obscure given virtually all of you have seen it.
  3. I'm the head Frog here. The Lost Boys, finally guessed by draich_goch
  4. A man who no more knows his destiny than a tea leaf knows the history of the East India company. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, snapesbabe, andrewducker, mooism & thapunkprincess. And not any of the PoTC films, although they may have used the quote?

  5. Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? ninebelow & eldar,
  6. I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much. feels_like_this, getawaywithit, andrewducker & thapunkprincess
  7. Her: I'll be back. The Empire Strikes Back, guessed by baseballchica03. Yes, this was a trick question, and no, Terminator 3 does not appear on my list of favourite movies.

  8. XXX: What is your nationality?
    YYY: I'm a drunkard.
    XXX: That makes YYY a citizen of the world. Casablanca, finally got by getawaywithit
  9. Disneyland. Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland. Apocalypse Now, thapunkprincess

  10. I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. 2001: A Space Odyssey, by snapesbabe & paulatpingu

  11. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. Dr. Strangelove (the obvious one) wieselkind, snapesbabe, paulatpingu, getawaywithit, ninebelow, strangefrontier, andrewducker, eldar, mooism & thapunkprincess
  12. Enjoying that are you my darlin'? Bit cold and pointless isn't it my lovely? What's happened to yours my little sister? A Clockwork Orange, guessed by yuxonomei, draich_goch & two_brains
  13. There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it. Fargo, guessed by baseballchica03, although draich_goch knew the answer but couldn't name it.

  14. If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions. Pulp Fiction, by draich_goch
  15. So God was creating man. And his little assistant came up to him and he said: "Hey, we've got all these bodies left, but we're right out of brains, we're right out of hearts and we're right out of vocal chords." And God said: "Fuck it! Sew 'em up anyway. Smack smiles on the faces and make them talk out of their arses." And lo, God created the Tory Party. Brassed Off, both snapesbabe & thapunkprincess
There's at least one trick question, a few sillynesses, and one so obvious that I expect you all to get it.

In a little twist, comments screened, you have between now and whenever I get bored to answer as many as you can, points awarded for bragging rights, etc...

ETA: Results so far...
thapunkprincess: 5 points
snapesbabe: 4 points
draich_goch: 3.5 points for half getting Fargo
andrewducker: 3 points
ninebelow: 3 points
getawaywithit: 3 points
baseballchica03: 2 points, plus one for getting the trick question without hints
paulatpingu: 2 points, and he missed the obvious one, despite being the person that introduced it to me. Mea Culpa, he thought it too obvious to even say, which is fair.
eldar: 2 points
mooism: 2 points
yuxonomei: 2 points
strangefrontier: 1 point
feels_like_this: 1 point
wieselkind: 1 point
two_brains: 1 points
freddiefraggles: 0 points (ouch)
ETA 2: Comments still going to be screened, answered ones (and therefore some hints) are unscreened. And no, 7 has nothing to do with any Terminator movie.
ETA 3: All done after I dropped a few hints.
