Movie quotes meme

[cmk418]

Saw this on sandrine's LJ and thought "why not?"

1. Pick 15 of your favorite 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. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.

ETA: THE ANSWERS HAVE NOW BEEN REVEALED

2. What? One name? ONE NAME? Who are you? Seal? - Superbad

3. A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts! - Broadcast News

4. -Remember what it says in the Bible, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away."

10. Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush. - L.A. Confidential (sandrine)

11. No, it's just, I, you know, I just think - right now I have one key and everything I own is in the car, and I just... I like that, you know? I mean, I just, if I get an apartment, that two keys, if I... get a job, you know, I might have to open or close, that's more keys, you know, buy some stuff, I'm afraid it's gonna get ripped off, or something, and I get more keys, and I just, I, you know, I just like having the one key, it's clean. - sex, lies, and videotape

10 is L.A. Confidential, I think.

[cmk418]

Absolutely. I would have rather used "thanks for the push" but since we were limited to imdb quotes, I had to use what was there.

[cma5236071.livejournal.com]

13 is A Knight's Tale

[cmk418]

Very good. One of my favorite lines in the movie and I love it at the end when it's repeated back to him.

Ack! 1,2,9 and 11 are driving me crazy. It's like, I know them, but I can't quite pull up the movie in my brain. This is going to nag at me all day.

Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[cmk418]

Some scenic clues to help you out (or to succeed in driving you more crazy) -

1. Takes place in a cafe
2. Outside a high school
9. Speaker's bedroom
11. Listeners' dining room

[history-gurl.livejournal.com]

Yes, there was much more crazy. That I did not get Raiders is just ... wrong. I mean, it's bad I missed the other ones too, but Raiders? I saw that movie a billion times at the theatre, and many more in the comfort of my living room. *sigh* I suck.

You may shoot me now for my lack of movie savvy on this Oscar weekend. Well, technically, a post-Oscar Monday morning at stupidly early o'clock, but you get the point, right?

[cmk418]

Ah, no shooting. It's all in good fun. "Raiders" is like that for me too. It was the first movie that I can remember seeing in the theater more than once - I saw it 3 times, and I am pretty much able to listen to any line in that movie and give the next one.

Did you like "Superbad"?

[colleendetroit.livejournal.com]

LOL I dunno these quotes, but I love #8 and #14! ;oD

[cmk418]

#8 is from The Departed, the "Comfortably Numb" scene and #14 is from The Broken Hearts Club.

I knew I'd heard the quote from "A Knight's Tale" and liked it,but I couldn't place it. I also thought there'd be a quote from Mallrats, and if I had paid more attention at the time I'd have gotten that. (Because I did take your advice one time when you suggested the movie as a cure for depression,and you were right. It was really,really funny)!
I like quote #15 alot,and 14 and 2 also had me laughing

[cmk418]

Ah, Mallrats - my all-time favorite quote from that is actually (and I'm doing this from memory) T.S.'s line - "I too now am in the framing business." Best euphamism for breaking up EVER.

"State and Main" is great. Classic Mamet about the movie industry. "The Broken Hearts Club" is the quintessential gay film. And "Superbad" is just classic. I cannot say enough good things about that film - and the block of dialogue that quote comes from is one of the funniest in the film. Good stuff.

[michele659.livejournal.com]

I saw the movie "State and Main". I remember liking it very much. I haven't seen the other two. I thought that dialogue from"Superbad" was very funny. I think I'll rent it. I can use some laughs.
I don't remember what the line from "Mallrats" was about. Why did he say "framing" in terms of a breakup?

[cmk418]

Oh, that's because Brodie told T.S. that he framed Renee's breakup letter.

Superbad is literally the funniest movie of 2007. The scene that this comes from is priceless and then there's a scene in the liquor store than had me almost on the floor in tears because I was laughing so hard. So definitely rent it.

[michele659.livejournal.com]

Framing a breakup letter! That's funny,and very unique!
Now I'm curious about the liquor store scene. I will rent the movie -like I said, I can use the laughs.
