Movies Meme - Totally maharetr's fault

[samvara]

The gist of it is that you pick 15 of your favorite movies, go to IMDB and find quotes from each of them. Post answers as people guess! This would qualify more as 15 movies I am fond of.

When guessing: NO Google, NO searching IMDB yourself, or any of that sneaky internet stuff that we're all so good at. Just you and your memory!

   Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex.

4. Some people say forgive and forget. Nah, I don't know. I say forget about forgiving and just accept. And... get the hell out of town.  Grosse Point Blank  justadecoy
   
5. Cast back your minds. There we were, gathered together, gloomy and despondent, around a single meager woodcutter.  The Fearless Vampire Killers aka Dance of the Vampires
6. No, African war zone; ship of death!  Sahara maharetr

10. Cordon Bleu calling Onion Snipers. Artichoke Heart here.  Delicatessen scotsnow
    
11. What the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?  Aliens missyjack
12. Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children.  The Blues Brothers missyjack

2. Undercover Blues!

6. Sahara, baby!

And I feel I should know 4... Oh! Ocean's Eleven? And I'm only thinking of that because of the Heroes trailer.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I may have forced you to watch 4. but I forgive you for not remembering!

[maharetr.livejournal.com]

I have googled, and I hang my head in shame.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Must be time to watch again :p

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

Probably a state reflection on my movie viewing - the only ones I recognise are:

11. Aliens

12. Blues Brothers

13. The inimitable Vin Diesel in Pitch Black.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Well done!

15?

1 - High Society

[e-dan.livejournal.com]

1 - High Society

Re: 1 - High Society

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Yups ;-)

[cricketk.livejournal.com]

14. Nightmare before Christmas? And Missyjack got the other two I recognise.

Also, I notice an artichoke theme here - very interesting.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Spot on!

What can I say, I love teh artichoke quotes.

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

#8 Bull Durham!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Correct ;-)

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

D'oh. #10 is, of course, Delicatessan.

Wasn't paying attention on my first read through. :P

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

A great movie!

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

And #7 is Amelie! Dammit. I'm not looking at anymore!

However, a bit of a Jean-Pierre Jeunet fan, ain't'cha? ;-)

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Maaaaaaybe.

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

#9 Dr Strangelove

Credit to Husband.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Woo!

I didn't think anyone would get that.

[madradish.livejournal.com]

I don't know any of these but I'd like to congratulate you on including Undercover Blues, it's a truly awesome movie! :)

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I *love* that movie to bits.

[madradish.livejournal.com]

Me too. If we can find a mutually agreeable time in the near future, I'd love to see it again. It's too long since I've had the joy of laughing at Muerte. :)

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Well you have a sexy voice - but hey I'm a happily married man.

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

#7 is from Amelie

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Well spotted! I thought I might have been far too obscure.

[justadecoy.livejournal.com]

4: Grosse Point Blank

I love that film and all it's many Cusacks. 4 I think.

4: Grosse Point Blank - Correct!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

This one was one my many favourite lines.

[creativemeans.livejournal.com]

> I give up. I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful.

Clueless?

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Afraid not - think animated...

[ascetic-hedony.livejournal.com]

I feel like 13 could be Finding Nemo, but I've still never seen it the whole way through.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Hrm nopes, think not nearly as commercial animated... the sad thing is you of all people should get this one.

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

Clearly nobody else is going to get it so ...

#13 is Howl's Moving Castle.

And #5 is Dance of the Vampires. Frankly, I'm impressed to find somebody else who's even heard of this, never mind seen it ...

Assistant - Shouldn't we build a barricade?
Professor Abronsius - No, that would be bad tactics.

Hee hee.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

You googled those :p

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

Nope. I own the latter and saw the former recently. I wouldn't have gotten Howl's otherwise. But I can quote The Fearless Vampire Killers (aka Dance of the Vampires) at you all day. :D

"Oy vey, have you got the wrong vampire."

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I'd be more convinced if you hadn't used quotes from imdb!

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

Actually, I grabbed those quotes from the quotes file on my computer, which I transcribed from the movie ages ago. But it's your quiz, you da boss. :P

But I find it slightly disconcerting that I can quote from *most* of Polanski's films, and I wouldn't have classed him as one of my favourites. Perhaps I need to rethink that ...

"So long as she ate the mouse, she can't see or hear - now sing." (Also one of my favourite books.)

"Ok. Enough's enough. You can't eat the Venetian blinds. I just had them installed on Wednesday ..."

"Even Hell has its heroes, senor."

:P

It's one of my favourites, I love the facial expresions!
