Movie Meme

[creidylad]

qwrrty has inspired me

Pick 10 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.

And, obviously, no fair looking them up and then guessing.

These quotes come just about verbatim from IMDb. I've changed them only to remove key characters' names. Ordered alphabetically by quote. I may have removed a few movies from my top ten either for having no quotes on IMDB or just being too darned easy (Big Lebowski, Godfather, Star Wars, etc.) or being used by qwrrty.

1. He had a mind like Aristotle and a form like mortal sin. jadiana - Lion in Winter

2. [He] thinks it's the end of civilization: People who are invited at 4 and arrive at 2:30.
Oh God.
Barbarians.

3. He was dead just long enough for the murder rap to blow over. And then he had lunch. zantony - The Usual Suspects

4. I say give them an opportunity to decorate their own cells with their personal interior decorator. mr_niggle - Everyone Says I Love You

5. My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. My safety's Harvard. zantony - Rushmore

6. Oh, God is testing us.
If He's gonna test us, why doesn't He give us a written? - mr_niggle - Love and Death

7. So why the sad face?
Job requirement. Happy piano players work the circus. bethlet - Beautiful Girls

8. Tuesday's Wednesday.

9. You've just had a bad day, that's all.
That's a masterpiece of understatement. calum - Bringing up Baby

10. A woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man. calum - O Brother, Where Art Thou?

3. The Usual Suspects
5. Rushmore

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

I suspected you'd get at least those two!

7. Beautiful Girls

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Yes!

[calum]

9 is Bringing Up Baby
10 is O Brother Where Art Thou

Dont think I know any others.

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

Yep!

I'm so pleased someone got Bringing up Baby. When I was 13 I could recite that whole film backwards and forwards.

[calum]

Must have seen Bringing Up Baby 20 times :)

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

A healthy obsession!

BTW, the friend who inspired me to do this meme qwrrty is, I think, part of a circle of friends who amusingly share two friends with you -- blk and weegoddess -- neither of whom I know.

1. The Lion in Winter

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

Yep! It was hard to pick an inobvious quotation.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Impossible!

I'm going to take a wild guess on #2 and say Hannah and her Sisters.

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

It's a good guess as there are two Woody Allen films here, but nope!

Hint: The movie it's from wasn't actually funny; that was the closest it got to a lighthearted exchange. Also, it was relatively recent (since 2000).

#4 is "Everyone Says I Love You." Unless, I miss my mark.

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

You do not miss your mark! How is it you did not get #6? Or, for that matter, #8!

[creidylad.livejournal.com]

OK, then!

Turns out he'd forgotten to write it down.
