RULES: - Pick 10 of your favorite movies. - Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. - Post them here for everyone to guess. - No Googling/using IMDb/Wikiquote search functions for those of you guessing. That's just no fun! 1.This is Louisiana, chief! I mean, how the hell do you know who your daddy is? Because your mama told you so? 2.The fact that my client has been ridden more than Seattle Slew is irrelevant! 3.Merry Christmas, bitches! 4.I'm not going into the toilet, I'm going into showbiz! 5.You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: Make sure that when your shift is over, you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson. 6.I'm sorry ma'am, I lied to you. I'm very sorry about that. That man right there is my brother and if he doesn't get to watch 'People's Court' in about 30 seconds, he's gonna throw a fit right here on your porch. Now you can help me or you can stand there and watch it happen. 7.It's the coolest tour because not only do we get to travel all over the world playing music, not only do we get to come to Central Park & play music, but the coolest thing about this gig is on this tour, my wife & my kids are traveling with me, so I get to kinda get the best of both worlds. If there is one part of this tour that the critics have seemed to focus in on, it's this next song. They keep saying that it's too old to keep playing, we say it was our first sinlge,& we're still very proud of our old stuff, so we wanna play it as long as we can. I don't expect you guys to remember it, but if you do, this song is called "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" 8.You have the voice of an angel! Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus! 9.Not to worry, not to worry... we are now armed with "mighty joint"! 10.It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?
Interesting game you've got set up; I'm surprised there haven't been any takers so far. Scanning through the quotes you've got listed, I'm pretty stumped. I'm pretty sure #7 is Rain Man though. I'll throw some out there some of my favorites too and see if we can get the game going. I'm willing to bet mine won't be too difficult to guess, lol. 1. "I'm on my feet for about 10 minutes before the cops kick them out from under me. They don't ask me any questions. They just keep knocking the crap out of me and waving a confession in my face. And I keep spitting blood all over it an laughing at how many fresh copies they come up with. Then along comes this worm district attorney who turns the recorder off and says, if I don't sign their confession, they'll kill my mom. I break his arm in three places and I sign it." 2. "I am going to show you why we insist on such precautions. On the evening of July 8, 1981, he complained of chest pains and was taken to the dispensary. His mouthpiece and restraints were removed for an EKG. When the nurse leaned over him, he did this to her. The doctors managed to reset her jaw more or less. Saved one of her eyes. His pulse never got above 85, even when he ate her tongue." 3. "Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew...Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas...are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up." 4. "So I had a wife, beautiful like you, who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. LOOK AT ME! One day, they carve her face and we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again, hm? I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars. So, I stick a razor in my mouth and do this to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling!" 5. "You thought that Bunny had been kidnapped and you were fucking glad, man! You could use it as an excuse to make some money disappear. All you needed was a sap to pin it on! You'd just met me, you human...paraquat! You figured, 'Oh, here's a loser', you know? A deadbeat, someone the square community won't give a shit about..." 6. "I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of genuises to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it!" 7. "There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millenium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations." 8. "I dated this girl for a while. She was really...a nasty freak. She just loved to ...get down with...sex all the time. It was like...anytime of day...she was like, 'Yeah, let's go! I'm so nasty!'. And I'd be nailing her and she'd be like, 'Oh, you're nailing me. Cool!'" 9. "So once he's done with the firstborn, Loki takes his friend Bartleby out for a post-slaughter drink. And over many rounds, they get into this discussion about whether or not murder in the name of God is OK. Now, Bartleby can run circles around Loki intellectually, not to mention that Loki's already half in the bag. And in the end, Bartleby convinces Loki to quit his position and take a lesser one that doesn't involve slaughter. So - very inebriated - Loki tells God he quits, throws down his fiery sword, and gives Him the finger. Which ruins it for the rest of us because from that day forward, God decreed that all angels could no longer imbibe alcohol. Hence all the spitting." 10. "Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, ass-covering prigs? They don't care what we do; they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him 00 status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days, if an agent did something that embarassing he'd have the good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War..." Mine shouldn't be too difficult. I hope to see the game pick up, I'd love to keep it going.
Rentfan87: #2 is Liar Liar, #6 is Rain Man, #10 is Bladerunner BrandO84: Many of yours sound really familiar but I can't quite place them. My guess would be Silence of the Lambs for #2 and Alien for #3. #4 is The Dark Knight. #6 Jurassic Park, #7 Empire Strikes Back, #8 40 year old Virgin? #9 is Dogma. Prana: #2 is Good Will Hunting, #3 is Fellowship of the Ring. #6 Batman Begins? 1) "At last, you know what it means to hate. Now you're ready to be a king." "My hate will die with you." 2) "Look. There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up." 3) "I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. " 4) "Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone. " 5) "It's your character who said it. It's kind of a schizophrenic feeling, isn't it? You'll get used to it. There are things that have to be said to advance the plot and establish the characters, and those things get said whether you want to say them or not. Don't fight it." 6) "I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time." 7) "Is there any risk of brain damage?" "Well, technically speaking, the operation is brain damage, but it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking. Nothing you'll miss." 8) "I apologize for leaving without saying goodbye, but I seem to have outstayed my welcome in Colorado. The truly extraordinary is not permitted in science and industry. Perhaps you'll find more luck in your field, where people are happy to be mystified. You will find what you are looking for in this box. Alley has written you a thorough set of instructions. I add only one suggestion on using the machine: destroy it. Drop it to the bottom of the deepest ocean. Such a thing will bring you only misery. " 9) "This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful. " 10) "Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." Travis
'I demand for to have some booze'! is one of my favourites (and I've met one of the actors in the film).
@ prana: Right on all 3 counts. Nice I agree with radareyes about your #3 being The Fellowship of the Ring, and #6 & #10 sound SO familiar but I can't put my finger on it. @ radareyes: Awesome, man. All 7 of those are correct. As for your quotes, I believe - #3 is The Shawshank Redemption #7 is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Your #2 and #5 feel familiar from somewhere but I can't place them.
Well done prana and BrandO84 -- those are all correct. Here are some hints for my remaining 4: #2 is probably one of the most popular movies of all-time. I had to choose that line of dialogue carefully, because it's one of those movies that is so iconic and archetypal that it's filled with dead giveaway lines. It features an obsolete sports car and an antagonist notorious for messing up one-liners. #5 is much more obscure, but roughly in the same genre as #2. Does the term "bio-port" ring any bells? #6 is equally as well-known as #2, as well as equally as filled with memorable lines. I'd describe it as a meditation upon the normally unrecognized distinction between knowledge and wisdom. I'd be surprised if anyone guesses #8, but I will say that the adversaries that the story revolves around are both more famous for playing superheroes. Travis
OK, I haven't seen the movie but I know enough about it that I want to venture a guess about your #8, radareyes. I had a hunch before but your clue makes me pretty confidant that it comes from The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Christian Bale (Batman). Yes?
I'm going to follow in radareyes's footsteps and post some clues to my remaining three... #1 - I'm not too surprised this one wasn't picked up on immediately. Its pretty tough to give a hint that won't immediately be a dead-giveaway but I will say the movie is very unique in style, full of character narration, and this particular quote comes from Mickey Rourke. #5 - This one may be a bit tougher, as I'm not sure how popular this movie was to the general public. It's one of my favorite comedies ever and with a trio of Nihilists as the antagonists. #10 - This one really surprised me that no one has guessed yet. It was difficult to find a good quote from this movie that was vague enough to provide a challenge. Re-read the quote, as it contains the main character's name and mentions one of his iconic traits.
@prana: You got it! @BrandO84: That's it! Your hint leads me to believe that your #1 is Sin City? I noticed that Bond is mentioned in the dialague of #10, but I'm not enough of a Bond aficianado to know which Bond film it's from. If I were to take a wild guess about #5, I'd say Trainspotting. Travis
@ prana: Close but not quite. Same director though... Is #4 Be Kind Rewind? I feel as if I should know #10 and it's driving me friggin' nuts....I'll get it eventually....
Hey gang! Thanks for finally replying! lol Ok, prana, correct on #6 & #9! radareyes, correct on #2, #6, & #10!! radareyes, your #2 would be "Back To The Future"! lol So here's wat's left of mine... 1.This is Louisiana, chief! I mean, how the hell do you know who your daddy is? Because your mama told you so? 3.Merry Christmas, bitches! 4.I'm not going into the toilet, I'm going into showbiz! 5.You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: Make sure that when your shift is over, you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson. 7.It's the coolest tour because not only do we get to travel all over the world playing music, not only do we get to come to Central Park & play music, but the coolest thing about this gig is on this tour, my wife & my kids are traveling with me, so I get to kinda get the best of both worlds. If there is one part of this tour that the critics have seemed to focus in on, it's this next song. They keep saying that it's too old to keep playing, we say it was our first sinlge,& we're still very proud of our old stuff, so we wanna play it as long as we can. I don't expect you guys to remember it, but if you do, this song is called "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" 8.You have the voice of an angel! Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus!
I don't have 10 quotes, but I'll play. 1. - For God's sake Chris! The whole world is watching. We can't let him die in front of a live audience! - He was born in front of a live audience. 2. - My nutrients! Retrieve them at once,they have escaped! 3. - They say for every ten years you've been a junkie, you'll have spent seven of them waiting. On the one hand it was nice having all that time to think. On the other, anxiety was a full time job. 4. - YOU TELL 'EM I'M COMING, AND HELL'S COMING WITH ME! 5. - This is not a murder. This is an intervention. - You're a crackhead, see. Thing is, this planet and these people are your drug of choice. It wasn't that hard to make a universe. At first, you just checked in every once in a while, see how the Neanderthals were doing, move a couple of continents around. But then you got more into it. You started playing a couple of characters of your own. Slaves, kings, messiah, priest. Soon, you were playing 24/7. - How long have I been.. - You've been gone for four thousand years. Not that time means the same for us. - You came looking for me. - That's what a girl does. - Why now? - Because you forgot who you were. You forgot this wasn't real. - We couldn't just storm in on a fiery chariot. It was your universe. We had to play by your rules. We had to show you how limited and corrupt your little world was. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place, it's cozy. But do you remember where you came from? Do you remember where you came from? - It was warm and white, like.. - You can't describe it with human words. You can't think it with human thoughts.
Sweet, fresh blood, lol. Thanks for jumping in neodude1212. I think I have a couple of yours figured out... #1 is The Truman Show (I believe, though I could be wrong) #2 is Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters I feel as if I should know #4 but I'm blanking at the moment. @RENTfan87: I still have no ideas for yours, lol. Although the more I read #7, the more I feel I should know that one...
You are correct with those two, Brand. I'll let a few more people look them over before I drop any hints. You probably do know #4, by the way.
