Guess the film in 15 quotes

[matgb]

Oh OK then, I was going to do this when I first saw it, but I finally got my round tuit supply in.

Rules:
+ Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
+ Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
+ Post them here for everyone to guess.
+ Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
+ NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. I always gagged on the silver spoon. Citizen Kane, guessed by thepunkprincess


2. Half of writing history is hiding the truth. Serenity, guessed by yuxonomei. It was deliberately more obscure given virtually all of you have seen it.


3. I'm the head Frog here. The Lost Boys, finally guessed by draich_goch


4. A man who no more knows his destiny than a tea leaf knows the history of the East India company. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, snapesbabe, andrewducker, mooism & thapunkprincess. And not any of the PoTC films, although they may have used the quote?


5. Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? ninebelow & eldar,


6. I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much. feels_like_this, getawaywithit, andrewducker & thapunkprincess


7. Her: I'll be back. The Empire Strikes Back, guessed by baseballchica03. Yes, this was a trick question, and no, Terminator 3 does not appear on my list of favourite movies.


8. XXX: What is your nationality?
   YYY: I'm a drunkard.
   XXX: That makes YYY a citizen of the world. Casablanca, finally got by getawaywithit


9. Disneyland. Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland. Apocalypse Now, thapunkprincess


10. I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. 2001: A Space Odyssey, by snapesbabe & paulatpingu


11. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. Dr. Strangelove (the obvious one) wieselkind, snapesbabe, paulatpingu, getawaywithit, ninebelow, strangefrontier, andrewducker, eldar, mooism & thapunkprincess


12. Enjoying that are you my darlin'? Bit cold and pointless isn't it my lovely? What's happened to yours my little sister? A Clockwork Orange, guessed by yuxonomei, draich_goch & two_brains


13. There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it. Fargo, guessed by baseballchica03, although draich_goch knew the answer but couldn't name it.


14. If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions. Pulp Fiction, by draich_goch


15. So God was creating man. And his little assistant came up to him and he said: "Hey, we've got all these bodies left, but we're right out of brains, we're right out of hearts and we're right out of vocal chords." And God said: "Fuck it! Sew 'em up anyway. Smack smiles on the faces and make them talk out of their arses." And lo, God created the Tory Party. Brassed Off, both snapesbabe & thapunkprincess

There's at least one trick question, a few sillynesses, and one so obvious that I expect you all to get it.

In a little twist, comments screened, you have between now and whenever I get bored to answer as many as you can, points awarded for bragging rights, etc...

ETA: Results so far...
thapunkprincess: 5 points
snapesbabe: 4 points
draich_goch: 3.5 points for half getting Fargo
andrewducker: 3 points
ninebelow: 3 points
getawaywithit: 3 points
baseballchica03: 2 points, plus one for getting the trick question without hints
paulatpingu: 2 points, and he missed the obvious one, despite being the person that introduced it to me. Mea Culpa, he thought it too obvious to even say, which is fair.
eldar: 2 points
mooism: 2 points
yuxonomei: 2 points
strangefrontier: 1 point
feels_like_this: 1 point
wieselkind: 1 point
two_brains: 1 points
freddiefraggles: 0 points (ouch)
ETA 2: Comments still going to be screened, answered ones (and therefore some hints) are unscreened. And no, 7 has nothing to do with any Terminator movie.
ETA 3: All done after I dropped a few hints.

WARGH! How did I not get #10??? Tis Hal in 2001.

* tries to spot the other Kubrick *

[matgb]

Not a Pegg fan at all, so no. and yes to 5.

[matgb]

Ah, so that's what you meant when you said it was too obvious. OK. A few people didn't get it, scarily, although most did. It is "the obvious one". Although it appears my trick one isn't the one that's fooling people much. I'll update your score in a bit.

[matgb]

4) No, and lots of people are guessing that. So it may be a quote in that film but that's not where I got it from.
5) Correct
11) Of course

[matgb]

Yes and yes.

[matgb]

1) Finally, yes
4) Never seen it, so no
6) Yes, appears too obvious
7) One of my favourite films? No chance, that's the trick one.
9) Yes
10) No, not seen that yet
11) Too obvious isn't it
14) Neither
15) Yes, but not said by him

[matgb]

Yes, yes and yes.

You got three more than I normally manage in these things though.

[draich-goch.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit late, but here's my guesses

3. I think that was in The Lost Boys

13. I know the film, but can't remember what it's called. It had William Macy and Steve Buscemi in it.....AAARRRGGGHHH, stupid rules!

14. Pulp Fiction. (he says, sounding all confident)

The others I know have been guessed, so I'll shut up now.

[matgb]

3) Yes, yes it is, thank you. The capital F I thought gave it away easily but apparantly not

13) Yup, and my copy of the video was bought from the guy with a van while I was at yours. Not that that'll work as a hint but, y'know...

14) Correct.

[draich-goch.livejournal.com]

13) Yup, and my copy of the video was bought from the guy with a van while I was at yours. Not that that'll work as a hint but, y'know...

--------------------------------------

Yeah, that helped like so much. Thanks for nothing! See, that's going to bug me all night now, I know the film, I can see the bleeding film, but what's it called!!

I can hear 14 in my head in Samuel L Jackson's voice, but I can't for the life of me remember what movie it was in.

13 is Fargo, donchaknow.

7 is from the original Star Wars trilogy, I think Empire Strikes Back. Leia says it to Han.

[matgb]

14) Yup, it is said by him
13) Yes, I do, I dug out the VCR copy I have so SB can watch it soon
7) Bang on, congrats, you got the trick question. It was nearly the quote in that icon but it'd be too obvious.

[baseballchica03.livejournal.com]

The "her" helped; I don't know if it was added later as a hint or not. But last time I checked, Ahnold was not a she. :-p

[thapunkprincess.livejournal.com]

Ha, well I've just googled all of them and still don't know what number 7 is! But Terminator 3 is a good film, I reckon.

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

Is number 8 Casablanca?

And I'm sure I know 14, but I just can't work out where from...

[two-brains.livejournal.com]

Is 7 the running man?

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

Scream?

14 is MAtrix and I should have got it earlier.

[matgb]

Yes, and 14 was Pulp Fiction

[matgb]

No and no. Both have been answered though, 7 was The Empire Strikes Back, Jenn got it and described the scene too. 14 Is Pulp Fiction

[matgb]

Not saying it's not perfectly good entertainment, but it's not on my list of favourite all-time films. It was The Empire Strikes Back, Leia says it to Han.

[matgb]

Fargo

[matgb]

Aye. The female Terminator does say it in (3), but it wasn't the film I was looking fora quote for. I put the her: in after I did the list, but it was always there.

[matgb]

Nope. Empire Strikes Back.

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

I actually looked it up last night, because it was going to bug me all night if I didn't.

And wild stab in the dark, is 12 from Secrets & Lies?

[matgb]

No, haven't actually seen that. Same director as other films on the list though.
