Pick 20 of your favorite movies and post a quote from each. As people guess the movies in the comments without googling, etc, cross off each correctly identified quote and give the lj name of the correct commenter.



porcinea Dark City 1. "I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something, I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here."

la_penguinita Serenity 2. "You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home."

porcinea Love Actually 3. "Beautiful Aurelia, I've come here with a view of asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person - because I hardly knows you - but sometimes things are so transparency, they don't need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here, or you can inhabit with me in England."

porcinea Dodgeball 4. "Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?"

la_penguinita Office Space 5. "So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

porcinea Army of Darkness 6. "Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart."

porcinea Shag 7. "why don't we just go up there and say "This was our last weekend together, and we didn't feel like going to Fort Sumter and touring goddamn colonial homes. We wanted to go to the beach and meet boys and go to wild parties and dance." I mean why can't we tell them the truth?"

8. "I'm here to kick your ass, and you know it, and everybody here knows it, and above all, you deserve it. In fact, I think it's safe to say that this party is about to become a historical fact."

9. "I hate grapes! I can't stand grapes! I loathe grapes! All kinds of grapes! I hate purple grapes! I hate green grapes! I hate grapes with seeds! I hate grapes without seeds! I hate them peeled and non-peeled! I hate grapes in bunches, one at a time, or in groups of twos and threes! I fucking hate grapes!"
(I know no one else, other than my friends in high school who have ever seen this movie.)

porcinea Knocked Up 10. "Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond, only it doesn't last 22 minutes. It lasts forever."

porcinea Moulin Rougue 11. "You don't have to stand, I mean. It's sometimes that... It's quite long and I'd like you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do and it may feel a little strange at first, but I think, if you're open, then you might enjoy it."

porcinea Can't Hardly Wait 12. "You know what they say about women and trolley cars. There's plenty of 'em in the sea."

porcinea Casino Royale 13. "All right... by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me ran to "orphan," that's what I'd say you are."

porcinea A Knight's Tale 14. "He's blond, he's pissed, he'll see you in the lists, Lichtenstein! He's blond, he's tanned, he comes from Gelderland, he comes from Gelderland! Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland... Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland..."

15. "Barkeep. Bring this man a trough of spritzer."

16. "I swear, it's like I'm playin' cards with my brother's kids or somethin'. You nerve-wrackin' sons-a-bitches."

la_penguinita The Sound of Music 17. "You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses who have come here to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours."

porcinea The Producers 18. "Well, Ulla wake up every morning at five AM. From five to seven, Ulla exercise. From seven to eight Ulla take long shower. From eight to nine Ulla eat big Swedish breakfast. Many different herrings. From nine to eleven, Ulla practice her singing und her dancing. And at eleven, Ulla like to have sex. So, what time should Ulla get here?"

la_penguinita Sixteen Candles 19. "I mean, not many girls in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me."

porcinea Practical Magic 20. "Can love really travel back in time and heal a broken heart? Was it our joined hands that finally lifted Maria's curse? I'd like to think so. But there are some things I know for certain: always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can."

I feel like I should know 17, too, but I can't place it.

I think 17 is Jane Eyre, but I could be wrong.

[charlottezweb.livejournal.com]

Not Jane Eyre, although it is also about a governess and romantic, it's less tragic.

SOUND OF MUSIC!!

[dr-brat.livejournal.com]

Oh, effing duh - it's The Sound of Music.

But it's really not fair, is it? I mean, I should wait and give other people a chance.

Aw, man! I got 11 wrong.

And now I know who it really was. Silly pig.

(Moulin Rouge. You can see how I confused Nicole Kidman and Alyson Hannigan.)

[charlottezweb.livejournal.com]

Nice! But 11's wrong...not American Pie.
