Name Those Films

[woodwardiocom]

-Mutated meme-age, most recently from ceo:

1. Pick 17 movies.
   
2. Then pick quotes from each movie.
   
3. Post the quotes in your journal.
   
4. Have people guess what the movies are.
   
5. Either strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified, or place the guesser's username directly after the quote.

1. Looks like I'm going nowhere. Star Wars, trowa_barton/???
   
2. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. Casablanca, trowa_barton/Play it Again, Sam, minkrose
   
3. Leave the gun. Take the cannolis. The Godfather/You've Got Mail, both trowa_barton
   
4. What are you prepared to do? The Untouchables, trowa_barton/???
   
5. Always look on the bright side of life. Monty Python's Life of Brian, trowa_barton/???/???
   
6. This was no boat accident. Jaws, trowa_barton/Stakeout, Nathaniel
   
7. Criss-cross! Strangers on a Train/Throw Momma From the Train, both trowa_barton
   
8. Coulda been a contender. On the Waterfront, trowa_barton/???
   
9. The next time I come in here I'm crackin' skulls. The Breakfast Club, trowa_barton/Not Another Teen Movie, hackard
   
10. Come with me if you want to live. The Terminator, trowa_barton/Terminator 2, signsoflife
    
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Hackers, dimers/Ghost in the Shell, deadwinter
    
12. You killed my father! The Empire Strikes Back, mrf_arch/Toy Story 2, trowa_barton
    
13. I see dead people. The Sixth Sense, trowa_barton/???
    
14. As you wish. The Empire Strikes Back, mrf_arch/The Princess Bride, trowa_barton
    
15. Klaatu barada nikto! The Day the Earth Stood Still/Army of Darkness, both signsoflife
    
16. I am Spartacus. Spartacus, nakor/That Thing You Do!, Nathaniel
    
17. No ticket. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade/Dogma, both trowa_barton

-Note: There's a trick.

(Okay, and one movie is in there twice.)

-Edit: Hmm, I think I'm going to upgrade #5 to a triple.

-Further Edits: For #13, it's pretty unfair to try to expect you to read my mind as to exactly which one I'm thinking of. So I won't expect anyone to get it. #6 has amusement value, because it's spoken by Dreyfus in Jaws, and to him in Stakeout (during a movie trivia contest). And #9 was spoken by Paul Gleason in both movies, which delights me no end.

2. are you quoting an homage?
10. T2.
12. ditto, with the homage question.
13. I'm really getting interested in your intended answers here.
15. Army of Darkness/The Day the Earth Stood Still
16. Okay, you're clearly going for a double reference pattern, which is kind of cool.

[grin, nods] And thank you for posting your train of thought . . .

[signsoflife.livejournal.com]

Nah, my train of thought was more, 2: you have GOT to be kidding. 12: seriously, are you joking? 13: okay, there's got to be something going on here. 15: oh, I even know where AoD GOT that from . . . *the light dawns*

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-You're good.

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

Not really. I couldn't guess the second film for some of the quotes, unless #4 was also quoted in "Speed"

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

unless #4 was also quoted in "Speed"

-Not that I recall.

[bridgetminerva.livejournal.com]

15 is also "Army of Darkness"
Damn, these people are fast!

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

Damn. Never saw "Army of Darkness".

[badger.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing #15's the trick and you're drawing from _Army of Darkness_ and not the obvious source.
And I believe #10 was in both I & II, but I don't think III.

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

Not III.
In T3, the quote was "If you want to live, come on!" which sucks.

[mrf-arch.livejournal.com]

3. The Godfather
5. Life of Brian
8. On the Waterfront
12. Empire Strikes Back / Princess Bride
14. Empire Strikes Back / Princess Bride

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

#12 Was not in "Empire Strikes Back"

[mrf-arch.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, you are correct.

[dimers.livejournal.com]

11 is in "Hackers".

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-Most excellent.

[nakor.livejournal.com]

2. Casablanca
3. Godfather Part I
5. Monty Python's Life of Brian
6. Jaws
8. On the Waterfront
10. Terminator
12. Princess Bride
13. Sixth Sense
14. Princess Bridge
15. The Day The Earth Stood Still, Army of Darkness
16. Spartacus?
17. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

But not enough to see the trick.

[deadwinter.livejournal.com]

11 is also in Ghost In The Shell.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-Correct, sir!

[sleepyworm.livejournal.com]

weird, I thought #8 was Raging Bull.

[(Anonymous)]

#6 is from Jaws, also, Stakeout (Emilio Estevez quizzes Richard Dreyfuss on movie quotes)
#8 is from On The Waterfront, also, Jake LaMotta quotes OTW in his dressing room, in Raging Bull
#16 is from Spartacus, and the drummer quotes this movie in That Thing You Do!
---Nathaniel

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-On 6 and 16, you are correct. On 8, I had a different movie in mind. (I haven't yet seen Raging Bull.)

[sleepyworm.livejournal.com]

ooh, good, I haven't gone crazy yet! Not completely, anyway. But that line really was in the movie I thought it was.

You should definitely see Raging Bull. I thought it was amazing. And I'm using my Punch-Out!! icon in tribute to the movie's greatness.

#11 Bill McNeal: "It's like my father used to say: 'When I was a child I thought as a child and spoke as a child, but when I became a man, I took that child out back and had him shot.'"

[mizarchivist]

How long did it take you to figure that out?! And I've got nuthin' on any of the remainders, unless I cheat. And even then the obvious ones are going to overwhelm the not obvious ones.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

How long did it take you to figure that out?!

-Oh, not that long. [smile]

[minkrose]

2. an unlikely but definitely accurate guess: Play it again, Sam.

as for #13: that's not entirely fair. That line has been used as parody in a lot of places!

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

Play it again, Sam.

-Yup!

That line has been used as parody in a lot of places!

-Well, true. Some hints: In the movie I'm thinking of, it's actually, "I see dead people! I see dead people!". And it's not spoken by a human.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to guess The Two Towers, probably spoken by Gimli. But I haven't watched it since 2002, so I'm not sure.

[hackard.livejournal.com]

Argh. That was me.

[signsoflife.livejournal.com]

Ice Age II, maybe?

[feste-sylvain.livejournal.com]

#2 was also quoted by Woody Allen in "Play It Again Sam".

[hackard.livejournal.com]

#9 was used in Not Another Teen Movie, but as it was an obvious parody of the scene from The Breakfast Club, I don't know if it's what you were thinking of.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-That's the one I was thinking of. Heck, it was said by the same actor; how could I not include it?

[hackard.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm having a tough time imagining someone as staid as you watching that movie.

*snicker*

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm having a tough time imagining someone as staid as you watching that movie.

-Well, I heard it had gratuitous nudity in it, so I rented it.

[hackard.livejournal.com]

That it did, that it did. Rrrowr.

[mrw42.livejournal.com]

#13: Scary Movie?

[hackard.livejournal.com]

No, Jon said it was not spoken by a human, and Marlon Wayans...

You know, I think I'll concede this one.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

#15 is also in Toys, in a slightly more direct reference than in AoD.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-Cool. Thanks, and thank you for the back-friending . . .
