Movie quote game

[celticdragonfly]

I shall borrow a game from cawti

I give ten movie lines.

You guess what movie each line is from. If you are correct, you start a new comment thread with three movie lines. and so on. Everyone is free to guess on anyone's quotes.

I've picked some of my favorite movies, including a quote from my VERY favorite. Some of these I've "aimed" at particular people on my flist, oh yes. I expect they'll know them.

1. What God and greed have joined together, let no love put asunder. - curiousmay9, Dangerous Beauty
   
   
2. 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! - carbonelle, Dead Again (My all time favorite movie!!)
   
   
3. Oh, my Dear Friend, my heart was trembling as I walked into the post office, and there you were, lying in Box 237. I took you out of your envelope and read you, read you right there. - miari, Shop Around the Corner (an excellent movie, IMO. I really must get back to watching more Jimmy Stewart movies, as I've been intending to)
   
   
4. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and disposable. - desert_vixen - Clue
   
   
5. When one woman strikes at the heart of another she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal. - ulfrikr, Dangerous Liasons
   
   
6. The Irish are the blacks of Europe. Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. The Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. - prodigal, The Commitments
   
   
7. If you do not surrender, I shall be forced to shoot you through the head with a rather large bullet.
   
   
8. The man with the hatchet gets to pick the choicest cuts.
   
   
9. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say, "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?"
   
   
10. But I'm convinced the theory is sound.

There are only a handful of movies that I love as much as I do books and so enjoy again and again (and can quote from). One of them is "Dead Again". So since there's no way I can play this (e.g. guess any of the others) shall I leave it to someone else to attach the movie to the quote?

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don't have to guess all of them. If it takes 10 different people that's fine with me. So go ahead.

"Dead Again" is my All Time Favorite Movie. There are others that are close, but Dead Again wins.

Right then! It's #2 of course.

Whoops! Forgot the Next Part!

[carbonelle.livejournal.com]

1. No. To the pain.

2. I only want to drain your vital essence

3. Laugh while you can, monkey-boy.

Re: Whoops! Forgot the Next Part!

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Yay!!

1. The Princess Bride, Wesley bluffing about the duel with Prince Humperdinck.

3. Buckaroo Banzai! A source of many lovely unusual quotes.

I can't think of #2, although I really feel I ought to, it's ringing a bell.

Re: Whoops! Forgot the Next Part!

[carbonelle.livejournal.com]

Yup and yup.

Re: Whoops! Forgot the Next Part!

[tygerr.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, but at a guess...carbonelle's #2 is from The Dark Crystal?

[wolfrick.livejournal.com]

#5 is Dangerous Liasons. Watched it night before last :)

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Very good.

Going to toss in a few challenges of your own?

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Have you ever read the book, by the way?

[jenna-thorn.livejournal.com]

Is 4 Steel Magnolias?

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Nope! I do have that on my shelf, but didn't take any quotes from it. Try again?

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

#4 is from one of my all-time favorite movies, actually.

Mrs. White in Clue.

I love that movie!

DV

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Yes! Great movie.

Oh oh - if you're ever up in Fort Worth with some time to spare, NOT on a Saturday (they close then for weddings and such) - go see Thistle Hill. phoenix_singer and I went there for the tour while she was visiting me, and it was great - SERIOUSLY reminded me of the house in Clue.

And they let me play their harp, so that was cool, too.

So go ahead and put 3 challenges of your own up!

6. The Commitments
10. Real Genius

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

6. Yes. I put that one in just for selenite, my dear spouse, who introduced me to it. I'll even watch it again with him, if he'll get the DVD with subtitles.

10. No. Or if it's in there, it's also in another movie, which I have.

Hmmm... although there IS top billing cast overlap between the two movies. Possibly the line was even delivered by the same actor in each - I've only seen Real Genius once, so I don't remember it in there or who said it.

Let's see if that's enough of a hint to help you find it.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

For more hint, see my comment below in reply to miari. That ought to help.

[miari.livejournal.com]

3. The Shop Around the Corner (the one of which "You've Got Mail" was a remake)

10. Back to the Future

[miari.livejournal.com]

ACK! Change 10. to "The Saint"

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Nope!

You have, however, once again hit the same cast overlap between that and the movie for #10 as prodigal hit in his!

If the man actually delivers the same line in 3 different movies I shall be ASTOUNDED.

[miari.livejournal.com]

okay, let's try another (this is a guess as I've only seen it once)... Top Secret!

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Clearly you've closed in on the right actor. (and a hilarious movie)

But not the right movie. Not yet.

[miari.livejournal.com]

Last attempt, and then I yield... Willow?
I'm running out of his movies here! Well, ones that I think would have that quote. I think I have it right THIS time ;)

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Nope.

Just think, it means there's another good Val Kilmer movie you haven't seen yet, probably!

[miari.livejournal.com]

Darn it! I already said I yield, so I can't guess again... there are 2 more that I think MAY be it. Heck, I'd be sure to get it eventually. But, I said I yield, so I give up.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

It isn't Batman And Robin, is it?

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Nope. The actor in question was in a Batman movie (although I've never seen it, and it isn't the movie for #10) but not that one.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

keep getting Batman Forever and Batman And Robin confused.

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

3. Yes. Good movie. I've never watched the remake - I figure they probably butchered it. But I love the original.

10. Nope!

[miari.livejournal.com]

I cheated and Googled the rest. No wonder I didn't get any more of them... haven't seen even PART of ANY of the remaining selections.

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Think of it this way, you now have a recommendation list of interesting movies.

Although I will admit #9 is not for the squeamish. And has gotten a bit dated. It has definitely been an influence on me, though. I'm not sure how old I was when I first saw it, but I was too young, I don't know what my parents were thinking.

Dangerous Beauty

[curiousmay9.livejournal.com]

Marvelous movie about a strong intelligent woman succeeding despite the challenges of medieval venice.

Re: Dangerous Beauty

[curiousmay9.livejournal.com]

Whoops, forgot to include the quote:
1. What God and greed have joined together, let no love put asunder.

Re: Dangerous Beauty

[celticdragonfly.livejournal.com]

Yep, very good. I love the back and forth poetry scene. Especially the bit about Venice as mother goddess AND virgin.

Would you like to toss up some challenges of your own for us?
