Gacked from just about everybody in the fandom!

You should all know the drill by now...

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each one.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. No Googling/using IMDb search functions.
5. Fill in the film once it's been guessed.



Ok, I'm a bit of a fan of the Indy movies, but all of these were given wide release. I've tried not to make them too hard. I'll reveal the missed ones on Wednesday.

1. Well, technically speaking, the operation is brain damage, but it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking. Nothing you'll miss. Guessed by [info]synn as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

2. All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Guessed by [info]oni_butterfly as "The Life of Brian"

3. Give me an occupation, Miss _______, or I shall run mad. Guessed by [info]djin7 as "Sense and Sensibility"

4. Yes Jim, we should all eat the weevils Gussed by [info]sansa as "Empire of the Sun"

5. You want a Rolls-Royce, you don't come here, no no. You go to England, or wherever the fuck they make it. If you want champagne, you go see the French. If you need money, you find a Jew. But, if you want dirt, or scum buried under a rock somewhere, or some secret nobody wants anybody to know about, there's only one place to go: right here, Hell's Kitchen. It is the lost and found of shit. They lose it and we find it. Forget about it, man.
Sleepers

6. Was I bored? No, I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new as long as it's new as long as it flashes and fuckin' bleeps in forty fuckin' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.
I'm surprised that this wasn't guessed - it's David Thewliss in "Naked"

7. I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.
Again, surprised no one got this one - I thought this was a shoe in for sure. It's River Phoenix to Keanu Reeves in "My Own Private Idaho"

8. [27 Times] You're not a man of God! Guessed by [info]loupgarou1750 as "The Magdalene Sisters"

9. I'm a free man, and I'm going out the front door. Guessed by [info]loupgarou1750 as "In the Name of the Father"

10. Our father would be a 'slippery when schizophrenic' sign, for instance...along the highway of life.
"Igby Goes Doesn"

11. I've looked at so many women. I've seen everything, and felt nothing. But when I look at you, it hurts.
"The Cider House Rules"

12.Thank you, Daniel, that is very good to know. But if staying here means working within 10 yards of you, frankly, I'd rather have a job wiping Saddam Hussein's arse. Guessed by [info]djin7 as Bridget Jones' Diary"

13. God whispers into the ears of some men, but he shouts into mine! Guessed by [info]cyane_snape as "Immortal Beloved"

14. Character 1) How do you spell "holiday"?
Character 2) S-H-I-T
Guessed by [info]loupgarou1750 as Sid and Nancy

15. When she was born, that's when things went wrong for us. Guessed by [info]synn as "Whale Rider"

Comments

12. Bridget Jones' Diary

3. Sense & Sensibility (ALAN *woot*)

2. That's Monty Python, but I can pinpoint it, sadly. It's late.

That's all I got.



You're right!!! Can you guess which Monty Python it is??? It's my favorite of ALL the Python movies!
Is 2 Life of Brian?
13. My fiancee said "That movie about Bethoven."
Yes, indeed it is the Life of Brian! I was going to put "I'm Brian and so is my wife" but I thought that would be a bit too obvious!

You are definitely on the right track for the second one. It is a Beethoven movie - but can you guess which movie it was?
8. The Magdalene Sisters A movie I saw during a 2 day binge of really depressing movies.

9. This is making me crazy. Daniel Day Lewis. Emma Thompson. Directed by Jim Sheridan. About Gerry Conlan. BUT I CAN'T THINK OF THE FUCKING TITLE!

14. Sid & Nancy.

Yes, 8 is the Magdeline Sisters. I saw this at the theatre and I loved it. Depressing yes, but profound!

and 14 is Sid and Nancy.

as for 9 - omg you are soooo fucking close!!! U2 did the theme song (if that helps) Awww fuck it - you have the actors names, AS WELL as the director.... I can't be a hard arse and not give you the credit for this.... It's "In the Name of the Father"

Good guesses!
Yes Jim, we should all eat the weevils

I completely forget the name, but it's the one where the little British boy is separated from his parents while they're fleeing...China? Then he gets sent to the camp with the rest of the British prisoners. The other adults tell him that the weevils in his potato are good for protein. Ewww!

Gah! Now it's going to drive me crazy until you tell me the name!
Good guess! I've used this quote on several "Movie guessing games" and no one has ever guessed it, so good job!

The movie is Empire of the Sun and can you believe that little boy was Christian Bale? I think I fell in love with him all the way back in this movie!

Full credit given!
Is #13 "Immortal Beloved" with Gary Oldman?

#15 is "Whale Rider"

Cyane
Indeed you are right!

I'm particularly impressed that you got Whale Rider. Good job on that!

I was worried that nobody was going to get any of these, but you are all impressing me beyond words!
#1 is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think I saw that movie three times in the theater b/c I went with different groups of people, lol.
Yes!!! Very good!

I loved this movie. There were so many quotes that I had the biggest chore deciding on which to use!

Brilliant movie!
yes, definitely an excellent movie!

I guessed whale Rider too? -- go me! I didn't even see that movie! : )

I know the feeling -- every time I looked at the quotes pages for the movies I picked I had the insane urge to watch the movie again.
