Stolen from Corinne's sister
Come up with a list of some of your favourite films, and list them by quotes from the movie. Then put your lurking commenters on notice that they are responsible for identifying the movies.
No cheating! This means no Google, Wikipedia, or IMDB.
As they are guessed, I'll cross them off the list and credit whoever gets them right.
1. "Now, to lure him out of the house... I know! I'll blow it up! Yes! Yes, and... uh... no... no. That won't work. Then he'll be dead. Oh, I know! I'll turn him into a duck! Yes, it's so evil! Oh... I don't know how to do that... and I don't really need a duck..."
--More people clearly need to watch this movie. It's so very quirky in its hilarity and one of my newer favourites, but many people let it go by without seeing it when it came out into theatres.
-REVEALED: This is Meet the Robinsons. If you haven't watched it yet, you should. It's sooo wacky, and rather heartwarming.
2. "Greater GOOD? I am your WIFE! I am the greatest good you are EVER gonna get!"
-SOLVED. The Incredibles, guessed by Corinne. I lurve Pixar.
3. "A seamonkey has my money."
--Solved. Finding Nemo. Guessed by Suman. Best fish movie ever.
4. "Wait! There's something interesting in that woman's smile. I might learn to like her. Hang her in my bathroom. "
-SOLVED. Annie (1982 version), guessed by Erin and Jeannie. Carol Burnette, Albert Finney and Tim Curry MAKE this movie. It's even more amazing now that I'm old enough to get the jokes.
5. "I'm a very understanding person, Albert. I understand that you are going through a selfish phase. And, I'm sure that you will understand that I am going through a destructive phase. "
--I have loved this movie since I was far too young. I never minded that it was rated R, and Mum used to rent it for me anyway. I had a tape of it once, but Jonathan's VCR ate it, and that made me sad. Benn just bought me the DVD of it a week or two ago, and I still love it. It's not brilliant, but it's cute.
--Revealed: Look Who's Talking.
6. "Good. I don't like Visigoths. Tomorrow, we'll get a sign: "No Spiders or Visigoths Allowed."
-SOLVED. Life is Beautiful, guessed by Jeannie. Definitely one of the best movies of all time. Romantic, hilarious, and sad, with a very cute little boy. What else could a person ask for?
7. "No! That's from my blue period!"
-SOLVED.Lilo and Stitch, guessed by Seven. I want Lilo to be MY daughter. I would definitely rather have her than a rabbit.
8. "If there's one thing Dad loves more than serenity... it's an outboard motor at full throttle!"
--Most people haven't seen this, but they should. Fantastic movie, very funny. Those wacky Australians.
--SOLVED. The Castle. Solved by Suman. This is a fantastic Australian movie, and it's heart warming AND hilarious at the same time. Watch it.
9. "He spoke long and earnestly to the baboon and explained, that is an evil thing you've got there, and it brought much unhappiness to my family and it will surely bring much unhappiness to yours unless you give it back to me and let me throw it away. He spoke so earnestly that the baboon began to take note and dropped the evil thing. He said, that is a very wise thing you have done. "
-SOLVED. The Gods Must Be Crazy, guessed by Li. One of the best combinations of comedy and social commentary EVER. Freaking hilarious. Have loved it since a child.
10. "What is so great about discovery? It is a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world."
-Jurassic Park, guessed by TDF Drew. I hold that this movie is a truly great movie. Besides the fun action and nifty CGI (which was unbelievable at the time, and still holds up today, over a decade later) it has absolutely great dialogue. A gem that has been scuffed by its terrible sequels, much the way Shrek has.
BONUS QUOTE! Since you're all doing so well... who knows this one?
"I knew this girl who, like, had this crazy freak out because she took too many behavioral meds at once and she like ripped off her clothes, and dove into the fountain at Ridgedale Mall and was like, "Blaaaaah! I am a Kraken from the sea!!"
