Wanna watch a movie with me?

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 in the comments, and put who correctly identified the film.
5. NO Googling or using IMDb search functions.

These are in no particular order of favoritism, and I have many more favorites than these, of course...

MOVIE #1: On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing. Jerm knew this - it's Se7en.

MOVIE #2: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? Again for Jerm, an easy one: The Princess Bride.

MOVIE #3: They had enough of Nicky. They had enough. I mean, how much more were they gonna take? So, they made an example of him and his brother: they buried them while they were still breathing. Way to go, Carrie! She got Casino.

MOVIE #4: You don't got nothing to do with your life. Why don't you get a job? Work with lepers. Blind kids. Anything's gotta be better than lying around all day waiting for me to fuck you. This one was Scarface, again with Jerm's expert knowledge.

MOVIE #5: What are four walls, anyway? They are what they contain. The house protects the dreamer. Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game. It's such a surprise.

MOVIE #6: He wants to make money. You know - live in a nice house with wide windows and locks. You can't expect him to live forever with his sister and the nipple-twisting that goes on there. Jerm says it's The Wedding Singer.

MOVIE #7: Nothing to it is there? Remember, they love money so pretend like you own a gold mine and you're in the club. This one was Titanic. Carrie "sunk" it, har-har.

MOVIE #8: Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back. James got this one! It's Gladiator.

MOVIE #9: The All-Father wove the skein of your life a long time ago. Go and hide in a hole if you wish, but you won't live one instant longer. Your fate is fixed. Fear profits a man nothing.

MOVIE #10: Don't blame me. I'm an interpreter. I'm not supposed to know a power socket from a computer terminal. I tried to pick an obscure quote from this one, but alas, Jerm nailed Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

MOVIE #11: Ain't logical. Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering - Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid. I was thinking something HAD to be wrong if Cory didn't get this one! It's from Serenity, of course.

MOVIE #12: I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. An easy one for the Jerm-man, The Godfather.

MOVIE #13: As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children's voices. A newer flick, but apparently Jerm just watches movies all day. This one was Children of Men.

MOVIE #14: It is most gratifying that your enthusiasm for our planet continues unabated. As a token of our appreciation, we hope you will enjoy the two thermonuclear missiles we've just sent to converge with your craft. To ensure ongoing quality of service, your death may be monitored for training purposes. Thank you. Now this one was easy. I knew Jerm would get Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I just didn't think he'd get almost all of them. Rock on, buddy!

MOVIE #15: Son of a bitch. I mean, it's not bad enough that he's trying to kill me. Now he's trying to turn me into a drag queen. Why couldn't he have said you were going to have the operation? Yes, James, this is a quote from Weekend at Bernie's! It's the first one - I love this goofy little movie but I despise the sequel.

Okay, not really. You're actually awesome.

Children of Men is constantly playing on the multiple HBOs.

Angie said...

See, I wouldn't know. I only have Pirate Cable, which doesn't come with premium channels.

James Goodman said...

ok, If no one else wants to admit they watched the last one, then I'll give it a go... I do believe that came from Weekend at Bernie's, but I can't remember which one. Do I get points for being close?

#11 - Jane from Serenity. Cory actually got it so I can't take credit. :)

Angie said...

You can have the credit for that one, James. It's such a silly little movie, you are one of it's cult followers or you hate it. The sequel bites, though. How long can a dead guy be expected to be bumping around with... you know... insects taking notice??

I gave Cory the credit for the Jayne quote, Steph. I knew HE would get that one, I just wondered when!! :)

James Goodman said...

oh, I have mine up, if you want to give it a go. :D
