Most of you know the drill. 20 movie quotes, name the movie.


1. When the child was a child, it was the time of these questions. Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there?
Wings of Desire sen_no_ongaku


2. There is a war on. How is it you are heading west?
Well, we face to the north and, real subtle like, turn left.
Last of the Mohicans zfarcher


3. It is a sad and beautiful world.
Yeah, it's a sad and beautiful world buddy.


4. C'mon let's go down the street to the bar. I'll buy you a drink
Thanks but I'm trying to stay away from bars right now if you know what I mean.


5. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Blade Runner sen_no_ongaku


6. That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
Shawshank Redemption mmeubiquitous


7. You can't really dust for vomit.
This is Spinal Tap signsoflife


8. Isn't that what makes a man?
Mmm, sure. That and a pair of testicles.
The Big Lebowski zfarcher


9. I don't think I have it in me to shoot my mom, my flatmate, my stepdad and my girlfriend all at the same night.
Shaun of the Dead sen_no_ongaku


10. I still love you.
I'm the luckiest son-of-a-bitch alive.
You are the best man I've ever known. There is no luck involved.
A History of Violence epilimnion


11. In the first state, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon. In the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces. But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether. The warrior embraces all around him. The desire to kill no longer exists. Only peace remains.
Hero neoweasel


12. That's the only way. We'll move in pairs. We'll go step by step and cut off every bulkhead and every vent until we have it cornered. And then we'll blow it the fuck out into space. Is that acceptable to you?
Alien signsoflife


13. We don't really move, we'd like to but...my mom is sort of attached to the house. Attached isn't really the right word, she's pretty much wedged in.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape signsoflife


14. It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid Drain-O.
Heathers signsoflife


15. Well, that went as well as could be expected didn't it, hmm? Though I might have to make a small adjustment to the drop, a touch painful on reentry.
The Wrong Tousers a_dodecahedron


16. Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish afterwards.
A Room with a View epilimnion


17. This is fate we're talking about, and if fate works at all, it works because people think that THIS TIME, it isn't going to happen!
Dead Again hca


18. Invite him out for a drink and then after about twenty minutes casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Love Actually hca


19. It's a hell of a thing to kill a man. To take everything he has, and everything he ever will have.
Unforgiven sen_no_ongaku


20. Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.

[sen-no-ongaku.livejournal.com]

1. Wings of Desire
5. Blade Runner?
9. Shaun of the Dead?
11. Ghost Dog?
19. Unforgiven

[mmeubiquitous.livejournal.com]

6. Shawshank Redemption.
11. Huh. Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon?
12. Aliens, I think...
16. Clockwork Orange?
19. Oh gosh, I *know* I've heard this one...

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Yep, on all of them.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Yup, and yup.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

All except 11.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

6 and 12 are right.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Oh wait, not 12. Didn't see that "s" (despite the bolding). Close, though.

[mmeubiquitous.livejournal.com]

Ah. Drat. Ah well :)

[sen-no-ongaku.livejournal.com]

Gnargh. 11 is so familiar...

Is it Kill Bill?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[sen-no-ongaku.livejournal.com]

I gave up and looked it up. Cool. I need to own that someday...

[a-dodecahedron.livejournal.com]

11. wild guess here: Seven Samurai?
15. sounds like Wallace and Gromit. A Grand Day Out?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

11. Nope
15. Close, but not quite.

[a-dodecahedron.livejournal.com]

Curse of the Were-Rabbit?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[a-dodecahedron.livejournal.com]

Arrrgh. The Wrong Trousers?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[signsoflife.livejournal.com]

This is a fun one, because so many are so *familiar* without quite triggering the context.

[holmes-iv.livejournal.com]

I feel that 20 must be Harvey, though I don't know the movie well enough to justify that faith. And I guess 2 could be Cold Mountain, but I suspect it isn't (again with the movies I haven't seen—but I read the book!).

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

You are right on 20. Extra gold stars, because I didn't think anyone would get it. It's a pretty famous movie, but it seems like very few people have actually seen it.
That's not 2, though.

[epilimnion.livejournal.com]

16 is A Room with a View.

[epilimnion.livejournal.com]

10 might be A History of Violence

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Right again.

[neoweasel.livejournal.com]

11 Hero?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Yup. I was rather surprised at how difficult this one seemed to be. Extra gold stars for you.

[cerridwynn.livejournal.com]

Hrm. A lot of the ones i might have known have been answered.

But I think #2 *might* be Dr. Strangelove... (Not sure though).

It's funny -- as we keep playing this game i keep being reminded of more of my favorite movies -- like Dead Again and Dr. Strangelove (whether that was the quote or not i love the movie!) and Shawshank Redemption and What's eating Gilbert Grape. I don't know why i didn't think of those before!

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

That's not even close, but it does make a certain amount of sense. I do love Dr. Strangelove, though.

[apintrix.livejournal.com]

2) maybe O Brother Where Art Thou?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Nope. It is literature-based, though.

[zfarcher.livejournal.com]

2: Last of the Mohegans.

8: The Big Lebowski. Which I am very ashamed to admit I have seen.

[apintrix.livejournal.com]

But, it was good!

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Right for both. Why are you ashamed to have seen The Big Lebowski? I really like it. It stands up really well to repeated viewings, too.
