let's all go to the movies!

[enkeli]

so, i've buckled like a cheap belt. but, as is typical when i do these things, i couldn't keep it to 12 movies, and i think you will just have to deal with that.

lovingly borrowed from just about everyone on my flist...

the rulez:
- i list 'em, you guess 'em.
- once the quotes are guessed, i'll strike it out and post the name of the guesser.
- after each is guessed, i'll let you know why it's in my list, but i'll do it in a separate post. :)

*looks very pointedly at grendel2061* behave, you.

1) "see that clock on the wall? in five minutes you are not going to believe what i just told you." blue velvet, laced_more

10) The Princess Bride
11) Shakespeare in Love
13) Sunset Boulevard???
19) Clue
20) Help!

Ahhhh, and #4, 6, are driving me crazy.

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

w00t! go you! and i'd be surprised if you didn't get #4.

[incitata.livejournal.com]

Isn´zt number 15b from Star Wars?

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

it is indeed! :)

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

The one I'm certain of... #14 is from Heathers.

The ones I'm not sure on... #1 might be Fight Club, but I'm not sure. I want to say #2 is from Blade Runner, and there's a chance #18 is from Kill Bill, but even if it is I don't know if it's Vol 1 or Vol 2, although if it actually is from Kill Bill, I think it's Vol 1.

Wow, I'm so iffy about things, aren't I? ;)

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

w00t! #14 and #2 are yours!

[lescritoire.livejournal.com]

Oooh, can I play?
Is #2 The Sixth Day?
#14 - The Player?

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

nope and nope. but great guesses, though!

[grendel2061.livejournal.com]

Wha?

#7 is The American President, Michael Douglas as President Andrew Shepard speaking to Annette Benning as Sydney Ellen Wade.

#18 is Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith as Silent Bob speaking to Jason Mewes as Jay.

#8 is Say Anything, I think.
#9 is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, I think.
#4 is The Ref, I think.

I'll stop there.

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

all of them right except #4. but good guess, though!

[adjrun.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think I know 4, 8, and 9, but people have already guessed the movies I woulda guessed.

Is 16 Raiders of the Lost Ark? Marion to Indy? And is 7 Office Space (rampant guess)?

[adjrun.livejournal.com]

And if 4 isn't The Ref, is it Harold and Maude?

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

nope!

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

ooh, people seem to be stumped by #4... and i'd bet anything you know it. and #16 is yours!

[nmissi.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm getting Heathers for 14?

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

and you would be right! :)

[fenwic.livejournal.com]

Gah, the only I knew for sure was Say Anything. Almost used that one myself :)

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

no way! i'd bet there are a few more you know... :)

and that's one of my fave quotes from say anything... i do like the one, after the quote you used... where he says, "i can't figure it all out tonight, sir... i think i'm just gonna hang with your daughter."

[tocketeaunchim.livejournal.com]

#6 would be HACKERS! you know, there's a pool on the roof.....

#3 is GARDEN STATE! you are such a liar...

Those I know. Now the guessing:

Is #1 MEMENTO? I don't think it is, but the five mins thing. Maybe.

And I am almost sure #5 is ZOOLANDER. listen to your friend billy zane, man. he's trying to keep you out of trouble...

That's all I got. *pants*

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

#3, 5 and 6 are YOURS. (and really, i was going to question our friendship if you didn't get #3 or #6).

#1... good guess! but, no. i figured that one would be the hardest.

[ixchelmala.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised, no one go it... on number 1... That's Back to the Future, no?

(btw, looking forward to seeing you today!)

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

nope, not back to the future!

looking forward to seeing you, too! in apple store at the grove!

[laced-more.livejournal.com]

Surfed in from notlefthanded's LJ to say,

1. Blue Velvet
4. The Lion in Winter
17. Annie!!! squeeeee

and I think 12 is Claude Rains... Casablanca maybe?

Sorry, I'm an old movie buff and buttinski.

okay, fess up... you googled them, didn't you? ;)

right on all four counts. :)

[laced-more.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no google... ask around my flist, I'm just that anal with the quotes.

Unfortunately, it doesn't leave enough room in my memory for my father's phone number.
