The Movie Quote Meme

I got this thanks to Hilda at The Mind Wobbles! So have fun guessing the movies! The directions are below! If you would like to play along just, let me know!
  1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
  2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
  3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess in the comments.
  4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

GUESSERS: NO Googling/using IMDB search functions. I mean, you can cheat if you want, but that's no fun? One movie guess per human allowed in the comments.

  1. We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? Dead Poets Society (TroyBoy)
  2. It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something. Crash (Hilda)
  3. I bet she gives great helmet. Spaceballs (Dawn)
  4. Christian, you may see me only as a drunken, vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels. But I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fiber of my being. Moulin Rouge (Hilda)
  5. ...and then there was the time he walked up to this group of tourists and they were petrified because A they were obviously lost, and B had probably never spoken to a drag queen before in their lives... and he... she just offered to escort them out of Alphabet City... and then she let them take a picture with her and then she said she'd help 'em find the Circle Line... Rent (Hilda)
  6. [singing] There's children throwing snowballs / instead of throwing heads / they're busy building toys / and absolutely no one's dead! The Nightmare Before Christmas (Dawn)
  7. I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Monty Python & The Holy Grail (Dawn)
  8. There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool.
  9. Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? The Wizard of Oz (Dawn)
  10. First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick? Donnie Darko (Eva)
Have fun everyone! I will let you know when one is answered!

ANSWER - "Crash" - great movie!

"Christian, you may see me only as a drunken, vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels. But I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fiber of my being."

ANSWER - "Moulin Rouge"

ANSWER - "RENT" - love it!

Okay the first one I am guessing is Dead Poet's Society. The farting line is from one of the Monty Python's but I don't recall which one.

Matt said...

You've almost got the farting one Troy, but I need the name of the movie!

The Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz

First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?

Hmmm....Jay from Mallrats?

Oh my God, one of the most insane movies ever and you quote it: Donnie Darko! That's where the Smurfette quote is from! That movie is nuts.

[singing] There's children throwing snowballs / instead of throwing heads / they're busy building toys / and absolutely no one's dead!

Nightmare Before Christmas

Dawn said...

Donnie Darko, wow, haven't seen that one in a while, but I have it on my Zune to watch.....when I'm bored?

There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool.
