Movie quote meme

[zelempa]

This meme I got from lamardeuse is remarkably similar to a game I played with my family recently (in fact, two of the quotes from lamadeuse's list were used in that very game.)

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb, 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 functions.


1. Walk? Not bloody likely. I'm going to take a taxi. id'd by argosy

2. Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick. id'd by spacedmonkey

3. There are shop boys, and there are boys that just happened to work in a shop for the time being. id'd by yolsaffbridge

4. Don't make an issue of my womanhood.
ADDITIONAL: The last mass trials were a great success. There are going to be fewer but better Russians.

5. This is fate we're talking about, and if fate works at all, it works because people think that this time, it isn't going to happen!
ADDITIONAL: Oh, and you don't have to worry about forgetting her name... she's already forgotten it for you!

6. They've committed a murder and it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they've got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery. id'd by sallymn

7. Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killin' yet.
ADDITIONAL: You know if someone came in here, they wouldn't believe what they'd see? You and me with long faces plunged into despair because we find out a man didn't kill his wife. We're two of the most frightening ghouls I've ever known. id'd by spacedmonkey

8. You're a clever little man, little master of the universe, but mortals are weak and frail.
ADDITIONAL: Forget Ahmed. He's no longer blind. For a man with eyes the world is full of women. Only I am cursed, that I can see only you.

9. There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!
ADDITIONAL: Wait a minute... you can have anything you want, and you're asking for my phone number?

10. This little revolution of yours is monstrous intolerable.
ADDITIONAL: Sink me, your highness, it was this damned cravat. Simply refused to tie. I ask you. Sticking out like a pincushion. id'd by argosy

11. I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up "money laundering" in a dictionary. id'd by sasha_feather

12. Repent but you that you shall lose your friend, and he repents not that he pays your debt.
ADDITIONAL: In truth, I know not why I am so sad. id'd by epistrophia

13. And I offer myself to you, all of me. My heart. My lips. My legs. My calves. Do what you will - my love endures.
ADDITIONAL: The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! id'd by spacedmonkey

14. I love the way you laugh and I love the way your hair smells and I love it that sometimes for no reason you're late for shul, and I don't care that you're bowlegged and I don't care that you're bilingual, all I know is that I would have said no to every single person on your list because I've always wanted you.
ADDITIONAL: Douche-bags are hygienic products, I take that as a compliment. Thank you.

15. May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire!
ADDITIONAL: I'll organize revolt, exact a death for a death, and I'll never rest until every Saxon in this shire can stand up free men and strike a blow for Richard and England! id'd by argosy

ETA: An additional quote from the same movie has been added to unguessed items!

11. Office Space! YEAH!

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

yep!

[argosy.livejournal.com]

So many of these are on the tip of my tongue, but unfortunately they're not getting any further. 1 is... My Fair Lady? I totally know 5,to the extent that I can hear the actor saying it in my head, but I can't think of it. :( #6 is a noir movie, I think (?) or maybe Strangers On A Train, and 11 is Office Space?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

1 = yep, MFL or Pygmalion.

5 is kinda tricky, I think.

6 is a noir movie.

[argosy.livejournal.com]

The Postman Always Rings Twice?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

No, the other noir film.

[yolsaffbridge.livejournal.com]

3 is Stardust, and the only other one I knew was 11... It is sad that I have no clue at all about the others.

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Possibly only about three others are ones that you've seen.

[spacedmonkey.livejournal.com]

Number 2 is Knights Tale (It's called a lance. Hello!) becasue I adore Watt.

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

You got it!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Ummm... I'm not sure, but is no 6 Double Indemnity?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Yay! I must look into getting that on DVD if I can...

[spacedmonkey.livejournal.com]

Number 7 is Rear Window, I think? Perhaps?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

yep!

[spacedmonkey.livejournal.com]

And 13, now I am kicking myself because Danny Kaye is my hero, is Court Jester (but Wonderman is the better film!).

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

:D Granted the first one was a tough quote.

[argosy.livejournal.com]

10 sounds a lot like Scarlet Pimpernel. Is 15 Robin Hood?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes!!

[sasha-feather.livejournal.com]

#12 sounds like Shakespeare. That's all I got.

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

It is!

[epistrophia.livejournal.com]

Merchant of Venice? Is there a film?

[zelempa.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! You win at Shakespeare :D

The "in truth" (very) subtly gives away that I'm referring to the 2004 film with Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons-- the actual text is "sooth," I believe.
