You knew I'd jump aboard this meme

[trinityvixen]

And, knowing how, erm, vocal I tend to be about my favorites (and non-favorites), I'm sure this is going to be ridiculously easy. Enjoy!

Stolen from about thirty people, but deltagrl, jendaby, and shell524 that I can remember deserve credit by name:

The rules:
+ Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
+ Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
+ Post them here for everyone to guess.
+ Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
+ NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

ETA: I'm not posting the answers, just the people who guess them. So that way, I can congratulate the person with the most guessed right, not just the first person to reply. Either way, I think glvalentine is gonna take it because she hardly looked at it and got ALL THE ANSWERS.

1. "Oh, that's sarcasm. That is so awesome."
2. "My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are." (glvalentine)
3. "It's because I like you I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion.
4. "As a man, I'm flesh and blood I can be ignored, I can be destroyed but as a symbol? As a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting." (glvalentine, ivy03, feiran)
5. "Wait! We are doctors. We won't hurt you, we only want your organs!" (droidguy1119)
6. "I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them." (glvalentine, ivy03, feiran)
7. "I have great fear of tools. I once made a birdhouse in woodshop and the fair housing committee condemned it."
8. "All I did was cross the bridge and I was in Brooklyn. Amazing."
9. "Never send a human to do a machine's job." (deltagrl, viridian)
10. "It's time to put your mouth where our balls are." (glvalentine)
11. "He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I'm afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died." (ivy03)
12. "In two hundred years we've gone from 'I regret but I have one life to give for my country' to 'Fuck you!'?" (snugglebunnyjm)
13. "In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (glvalentine, jendaby, feiran)
14. "Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for money. It's a job. (droidguy1119, viridian, shell524, feiran)
15. "You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" (jendaby)

2. Aliens

4. Batman Begins (I really, really hope)


6. Memento? (Uh, spellcheck on that.)

10. Dodgeball


13. Pride and Prejudice (1940 or 1995)


15. IT IS KILLING ME OH GOD WHAT IS IT

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU GOT ALL THE ANSWERS IN FOUR MINUTES.

I mean, yes to 2, 4, 6, 10, and 13 (OF COURSE I MEAN THE 1995 VERSION IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT EXISTS FOR ME). Jeepers. Okay, well, that's fully a THIRD of the meme done.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

And 15 is gonna kill you when you find out what it was...

[jendaby.livejournal.com]

13 is from one of my favorite scenes in Pride and Prejudice! :)

15 is Pirates of the Caribbean?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well done, 2 for 2!

[deltagrl.livejournal.com]

Shit, I know 9 but I don't. I'm gonna guess Matrix or Terminator. Can you tell us what the guessed movies are? I don't know a lot of these. :)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You can look upthread for the guessed ones. Your girlfriend got two!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh, and you're right about nine. Which answer is right though? ::IS AN AWFUL TEASE::

[deltagrl.livejournal.com]

arrrr.....Matrix. It's the only one I've seen out of my guesses, and since the line is familiar. :)

Um, and for number 8 I'm going to guess the only movie I can think of, though I don't think it's a movie you'd like. "Kate and Leopold?"

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

9 is correct, but 8 is not, in fact, Kate and Leopold. You're not too far off the genre, however.

[droidguy1119.livejournal.com]

5. Monkeybone (2001)
14. Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

I regret knowing 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 and 12 but, since I was unable to figure them out without cheating no points for me.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well done! I wasn't sure anyone was going to get #5. That was rather obscure for a quote from an already obscure movie.

And :P!! You cheated on those others!

[viridian.livejournal.com]

9 is the Matrix.
14 is Grosse Pointe Blank.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Of course you got those :)

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

4. Batman Begins
6. Memento?
11. Clue?

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Is 3 Shrek?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Nope, but you're not too far from the genre. Or, perhaps I should say "medium." Good guess, though, very similar story line in Shrek (in some ways) as to the movie #3 is from.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yay! You got it!

[viridian.livejournal.com]

akldsakldkas HOW DID I MISS THAT ONE?!!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

:D

[shell524.livejournal.com]

14 is Grosse Pointe Blank.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yay! People know this movie! Hurrah!

[shell524.livejournal.com]

I love it. Need to upgrade my VHS copy some day. ;p

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Me too :)

I think I'll wait until it gets the sort of release it deserves. At present, it's sort of bare-bones.

[droidguy1119.livejournal.com]

Until then, if you find you just can't wait, I find this an acceptable alternative.

Somewhat dishearteningly, Buena Vista ignored its 10th anniversary last year, so who knows how high it is on their list of things to do.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I didn't like High Fidelity much. I'd just as soon buy it separately if that's still an option.

[shell524.livejournal.com]

High Fidelity was... meh. I mean.. I liked it. But I didn't love it. Certainly not enough to feel the pain of it not being on my DVD shelf.

[fairest.livejournal.com]

I spotted Batman Begins, Memento, P&P, and Grosse Pointe Blank. I always lose at these things. :P

Then I looked up #3 because I could hear it in my head but couldn't pinpoint who was speaking. I should've known. :P

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well done on those then. And I knew that I had to be very, very careful selecting quotes from #3 with you around :)
