1. Pick 20 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDB, and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it first and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

I don't trust the quotes from IMDB, I have spent too much time anally (stop giggling, Genesis) correcting them, so I'm gonna do this from memory. You are warned.



EDIT: Well done all! The rest are tough, so here's some hints.

2. You won't get this one. Sorry. Ooh, I was wrong!
7. Movie from a show, and an unlikely musical, though Sondheim liked it. Also, omigod, they killed Conan O'Brien!
9. Another musical, based on a religion, though not mine. Awesome music, though. I don't know how to love it.
10. Oh, come on. No Stephen King fans here?
12. *sulk* Plebeians, all of you. Okay...early 80s, based on a German novel, had some god-awful sequels, and celebrated the glory of Limahl.
13. You won't get this, unless you drool over Greek mythology at the rate I do.
14. One of the few black-and-white movies I like. Concerning a famous trial, and Darwin. Not the dolphin.
16. Probably won't get this one either. Sequel to a celebrated horror film, and I stand alone in thinking the sequel was better, I think.
20. Early 90s blockbuster. Before Cameron lost his soul.


1. "Come on now, be honest! Which of you wouldn't rather listen to his hairdresser than Hercules? Or Horatius, or Orpheus, people so lofty they sound as if they shit marble?!" Akuma! Amadeus

2. "Yes, Mister French Pastry...I have nothing whatsoever to say to you, and I trust you have nothing to say to me." Tofusama! Young Sherlock Holmes

3. "Courage of the heart is very rare...the stone has a power when it's there." Ardwynna! The Secret of NIMH

4. "The gray rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass...and then you see it." Erava! LOTR: The Return of the King

5. "There are no happy endings, because nothing ends." White_Jenna! The Last Unicorn

6. "What the fuck kind of deity gets kidnapped?!" Macabre_eyes! Dogma

7. "Now the light, she fades, and darkness settles in, but I will find strength, I will find pride within. Because although I die, our freedom wil be won...though I die, La Resistance lives on." Ladymydnytmoon! South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

8. "One day, all this will be yours." "What, the curtains?" Ardwynna! Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail

9. "What is truth? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?"

10. "Beep beep, Richie." Tofusama! It

11. "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." Freya! The Princess Bride

12. "Why is it so dark?" "In the beginning, it is always dark." Slovu! The Neverending Story

13. "Call no man happy, who is not dead!" Kel_fish! Clash of the Titans

14. "An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral, and the advance of man's knowledge a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters!"

15. "Which is it? A memory or us?" Ardwynna! Advent Children

16. "Evil is a spiritual being, alive and living, perverted and perverting, weaving its way insidiously into the very fabric of life." Kel_fish! Exorcist II: The Heretic

17. "Blow me to Bermuda!" (stop laughing, Genesis) Kel_fish! The Sword in the Stone

18. "You make love as you eat - with a great deal of noise and no subtlety!" Monalovely! Anne of the Thousand Days

19. "The world's first unmanned flying desk-set." Macabre_eyes! Dead Poets' Society

20. "Uh, no, it's different. It's when there's nothing wrong with you, but you hurt anyways. Get it?" "No." Mona! Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Also, my movie-tastes are odd. Some of the above are obscure. Good luck! :)

EDIT: Okay, only KO'd by two, proving you are not all utterly tasteless after all! For the record, the elusive number 9 was Jesus Christ Superstar, and number 14 was Inherit the Wind. Nice job, everyone.

Ooh... I used to love The Secret of Nimh. Even though I used to get scared in some scenes...
Monday, December 14th, 2009 11:35 pm (UTC)

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 12:48 am (UTC)

12's The Never-Ending Story, right? Uh, I think that's what the title is...it's been a long, long time since I last saw it. I think the main character's name was Bastien? *is unhelpful*

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 05:51 pm (UTC)
2. Young Sherlock Holmes I believe...? I seem to remember it being from that XD

10. It... Oh god clowns. I hate them D< That movie scarred me as a child.

9 is hiding in the back of my head and won't come out D:
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 04:57 pm (UTC)
I didn't think anyone would get number 2, well done!

And yes, It, oh how I love that movie. I begged my father for years to be allowed to read the book after I saw the movie. He made me wait till I was thirteen, which turned out to be generous, considering the content...

For number 9, look closely at the wording of the clue. :)

Nope, but South Park would thank you for the compliment. :)
Monday, December 21st, 2009 10:49 am (UTC)
Had a conversation with my Lit teacher from High School the other day (we've kept in touch for years). And then I remembered your quotes. Is #14 Inherit the Wind? It just...randomly popped into my head, especially after reading the hint
Monday, December 21st, 2009 11:14 pm (UTC)
Yes, it is! I'm going to trust you didn't read the edit to the post that gave that answer. :)
