I'm doing a meme! I know, what? Is it three years ago? ☺
[livejournal.com profile] islandsmoke and [livejournal.com profile] schemingreader both did this and it was fun, so here's mine.

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.


1. Why has the car stopped?
It's frightened.

2. I can't remember what my parents look like.

3. England has always been disinclined to accept human nature.

4. Is this something you can share with the rest of us Amazing Larry?
[livejournal.com profile] _lore recognized this, my favorite line from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure!

5. Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate.
* [livejournal.com profile] schemingreader and [livejournal.com profile] inamac recognized the snarky voice of Capt. Jack Aubrey from Master and Commander, a movie I can watch over and over and over.

6. Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.

7. I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of there the minute their boyfriend gave them a gun to hide. But I didn't. I got to admit the truth. It turned me on.
* [livejournal.com profile] nehalenia knew this is from Goodfellas.

8. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play.
*As [livejournal.com profile] r_grayjoy knows, this is indeed Chunk from The Goonies, trying to avoid having his hand blended by the Fratellis.

9. Men are fighting and dying to save all the pink bits for you ungrateful little twerps.

10. Till you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna' fail.
*[livejournal.com profile] nehalenia also got this one: The Color Purple

Girl, I love this meme!

7. Wise Guys (I think. I know it's the one with Ray Liotta.)

10. Pretty sure that's The Color Purple.

No idea what the other movies are, but I can't wait to find out because I think I want to see them. (I'm loving that shrub quote.) XD

NEHA!! *tackleglomp* How are you my dear?

You have the name wrong for 7, but you're thinking of the right movie. I'll see if anyone else plays before I reveal...

10 is indeed The Color Purple!

Also, if you haven't seen the the movie the shrub quote is from, I'll eat my very non-delicious hat. I imagine you have seen it and love it. *is adding to the mystery*

Gah! Goodfellas! That's the right name. (WTF self?)

ETA: I hope your hat is good with ketchup. I just had to look up the shrub line and nope, haven't seen the movie. (There are LOADS of movies I haven't seen that make people go DDDDDD:) But now I really really want to. ;)

You must somehow see 5, and soon. It's a flat out great movie, very smart and harrowing and fun, but also filled (FILLED!) with slashy goodness.
*chomps hat, chews slowly*

Well, I don't know a one! I googled them to see if I'd seen any of the movies, and the only one is #5, which did sound familiar. Or maybe I just really like it. ;)

Cheating!! *is shocked* Well, fine. ;P

This list is a bit scary to me, because practically every movie I was thought of was from the 80's. Time to update my taste I think...

But isn't it cheating only if I claim to have guessed?

*looks hopeful*

My movies aren't as old as I thought they were. Well, one is from '62, but the next oldest was '86. The newest is from '05, so that's not too bad, is it?

Is #8 from Brighton Beach Memoirs?

Such a good guess! It's actually Chunk from The Goonies! :)

I'm awful at recognizing quotes, but I'm SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN! *much over-enthusiastic waving* M.

I'm so happy to see you too!! How are you?
I'd write more this moment but a sapling just started screaming. *sigh*

Still here! A little overwhelmed by work this semester, but summer is on the horizon, thank goodness. We're spending July and August in NYC. (Work, but also play.) And you? How is the sapling? M.

(Sorry, wrong journal! Though if you want to see how we've been, you're welcome to check out that LJ. The better half keeps crazy stories of Cute College Town life there.)
