Movie Meme-like

[seal_clubber]

Here's a list of ten movie quotes. Points for telling me what movie each quote comes from, with bonus points awarded for naming the character and the actor portraying him her. Ne Googlez pas, mes amis.

Edit Mar 26: Correct asnwers are now shown. Winner was gmajor with a whopping 39 points (gmajor and I watch a lot of the same movies). Honourable mention to pauliatchy

Comments

[gmajor]

1. Tremors, Fred Ward, don't remember character's name.

2. The Man With Two Brains, Steve Martin, Dr. Hufharrur

3. Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb, The President, Peter Sellers

4. Jurassic Park

5. The Coneheads, Dan Ackroyd, Beldar Conehead

6. Ghostbusters, Rick Moranis,

7. Dodgeball

8. Bladerunner, Rutger Hauer, Roy Batty

9. Aliens, I remember the line, but I'm stuck as to who said it. My first thought was it was the female medic who was naturally among the first killed, but I can't remember her name. It could've easily also been Hicks, Hudson or Vasquez, but then I'd be just guessing.

10. Men In Black, Wil Smith, Agent J

Yup, I'm out of the pool with my pitiful 10 points. How could I not have remembered Rick Moranis?

I'm thinking of applying a handicap of -10 points if your name starts with a "g" and ends with a "major" next time, just to give everyone else a fighting chance.

Not a bad idea, but Pauliatchy gave him a serious run for his money.

I think the problem is less that GMajor is too good and more that the rest of us suck.

And I think we would all do less well, including GMajor and Pauliatchy, with more mainstream film choices. I think we all get a boost from being somewhat geeky in our film choices and all about the same age. Given a list of, say, only Oscar nominated films from the last 5 years, I think I would get zero. Although Davesbrain might sweep this one; he tends to watch more of these "important" films.

I was thinking next time I do this, I'll announce the winners at the end on a question-by-question basis, so it will read like a horse race ("And at question 6 it's gmajor with 23, pauliatchy hot on his heels with 20, but wait, HERE COMES WRAITHGIRL...")

And I think we would all do less well, including GMajor and Pauliatchy, with more mainstream film choices.

Yeah, but... I'm not trying to make an actual, challenging quiz here. This is more of "Hey, here's some movie quotes I like. Who else can identify 'em?"

No, no! I wasn't suggesting that you actually *do* the Oscar thing, just that it would be harder. For me. And then I would lose. And suck. So, no to that.
