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.

Comments

Is 6 - V for Vendetta?

[wieselkind.livejournal.com]

No. 11 I believe is 'Dr Strangelove:Or how i stopped worrying and learnt to love the bomb'

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

4 is Hitchhiker's Guide
11 is Dr Strangelove.
15 is going to drive me mad; I can see the guy's face and hear his voice...

Oooh! Ooh! Brassed off!

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

2. V for Vendetta?
3. Muppets something. Definitely a Kermit-ism, and if it isn't I'll feel all stupid.
4. Pirates of the Caribbean... 1?

[paulatpingu.livejournal.com]

I'll guess that 8 is Withnail and I, and that 10 is 2001 (or 2010, or of the series).

Is 12 Interview With A Vampire?

The obvious one is too obvious. I'd try to name a film where they've used the line as an homage, but I'm not that clever...

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

OK, 6 is V For Vendetta, 11 is Dr Strangelove. Is 3 a Muppet movie, and 4 Pirates of the Caribbean? And I'm going for T2 for number 7, by the process of elimination that says 'I respect Mat. Mat generally appears to have good taste, therefore he cannot count T3 as one of his favourite movies.' :)

[matgb]

Yes (too obvious?)

[matgb]

Correct, picking one from that film was really hard work.

[matgb]

All three correct, 15 wasn't my preferred quote but IMDB only had the one I wanted as part of a much bigger exerpt :-(

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

6. V For Vendetta
7. Not Terminator 3, surely?
11. Dr Strangelove

[matgb]

2) No, but that film is on there.
3) It's not, but you're not the only one to suggest that, weird.
4) So wrong you couldn't be wronger.

[matgb]

8) No, TBH I completely forgot to get a quote from that one.
10) Yup, and it's not the only film from the same director.
12) Dude, it's from my favourite films. No.

I wonder which one you think is obvious.

[strangefrontier.livejournal.com]

Hmph. All I can get is #11 = Dr Strangelove. Um, I hate to ask, but which one is supposed to be so obvious that we all get it?

[matgb]

6 & 11) Correct. 4) No, and someone else suggested it too, weird.

The other is the trick one, and you're way way off, sorry, but you're right about ruling the crap thing out.

[matgb]

6) Correct
7) You're right, it isn't
11) Correct

[matgb]

Correct, and it is that one—if you've seen the film, it's obvious. Some above haven't seen it, but most seem to have.

Weirdly, the guy that I know owns it and made me watch it didn't get it, so he fails.

[spiral-solution.livejournal.com]

I hope not, it's the only one I know! :(

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

I recognise number 4, but can't think where from, and so the 'East India Company' bit made me think of POTC for some reason. I think it just goes to show how hard it is to recognise some of these out of context - there'll be a lot of 'Oh, of course!' when the answers arrive, I'm sure.

[matgb]

For what it's worth, I don't think I've managed to get a single correct answer on any of the times it's cropped up on other journals, and I did deliberately go for obscure quotes.

[andrewducker]

4) HHGTG
6) V for Vendetta
11) Dr Strangelove

And that's all the ones I recognise.

Gah!

[eldar.livejournal.com]

4. PotC:CotBP
5. Aliens. Ripley during the boardroom debriefing.
11. Dr Strangelove, or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Bomb.

Though I fully expect all three to have been guessed already.

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

Shaun Of The Dead?

I know 5 and it is going to piss me off. Wait: Aliens? I was thinking a teen rom com at first but now I'm thinking Ripley.

[mooism.livejournal.com]

4 has to be the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

11 I am guessing is Dr Strangelove.

No idea about the rest.

[paulatpingu.livejournal.com]

Mat, give me some credit. I know where number 11 is from, and so should everyone else on the planet. It's kind of silly putting something that easy into a quotes quiz...

If it helps, the subtitle is 'Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.' It's by the same director as number 10, and it is my favourite film.

The fail is that there's a load of other quotes there I should know but don't. I'm really not good at placing film quotes - I don't have that level of memory of stuff that I like.

[thapunkprincess.livejournal.com]

I can get a few I think, but will take a crack at all of them.

1) Citizen Kane
2) No idea
3) No idea
4) Lawrence of Arabia (??)
5) No idea
6) V for Vendetta
7) Terminator 3 (??)
8) No idea
9) Apocalypse Now
10 Dogma (??)
11) Dr Strangelove (presumably the obvious one!)
12) Rings a bell, can't place it.
13) No idea
14) Argh! Rings an even bigger bell, cannot place it. Silence of the Lambs or Usual Suspects?
15) Was gonna say Naked, then thought it's probably Christopher Eccleston in Brassed Off?
