I see dead people

Aug 20, 2008 08:41

A meme, stolen from andthatisthat:

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies
2. Go to IMDB or some such and find a quote from each movie
3. Post them here for everyone to guess
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie
5. No googling, using IMDB search, or other search functions

1. "That'll be the day." The Searchers, ( Read more... )

quotations, westerns, the searchers

is 10 pretty in pink? D is for Ducky!

koganbot August 20 2008, 15:15:07 UTC

No, it's about a decade earlier than Pretty In Pink.

koganbot August 20 2008, 15:15:39 UTC

P.S. If people actually post here with guesses I'll continue to drop hints.

#1 is The Searchers.

#6 is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

#7 is In a Lonely Place.

Three for three!

Is 5 "5 Easy Pieces"? Don't recall the line so I'm guessing not...

koganbot August 20 2008, 16:02:52 UTC

No. Convo takes place in old Vienna.

koganbot August 20 2008, 16:06:48 UTC

19th century Vienna, that is.

9 sounds like "Blue Velvet."

koganbot August 20 2008, 16:05:32 UTC

Nope, it's uttered by an actor who's even more volatile than Hopper (as an actor that is, not as a person; i.e., he'll sometimes play characters even more volatile than the ones Hopper sometimes plays).

is it al pacino as michael corleone in godfather2?

koganbot August 20 2008, 17:14:42 UTC

No, but you're getting real close.

9 and 4 are the other two that I think some people might get just by seeing the line. None of the other movies really had a line that became famous itself.

Actually, 10 has a line that is now a real common simile in the culture, but I don't think many people realize it originated in this movie, and it's not in the line I've chosen. But if no one guesses the movie I'll give you the simile, as time goes by. (Btw, that last sentence contains a hint about 5, though a fairly distant hint.)

Shares an actor with "Casablanca"? But probably not Bogart, since I don't see him playing a 19th century pianist...

koganbot August 20 2008, 17:57:04 UTC

Shares a screenwriter with "Casablanca."

koganbot August 20 2008, 18:09:21 UTC

(Though you never know who will play a pianist. Ernest Borgnine and Dan Duryea, for instance.)
