bironic | Name that movie

Life continues busy, mostly happily. Have catch-up and beta-ing to do. But in the meantime, this meme's making the rounds again, and I keep meaning to do it, so here we go.

These are quotes from 15 movies I own. How many do you know without having to look them up? (And do you know who said them?)

1. Some have great stories. Pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just, no one in this car. But a lot of people, that's their story. Good times. Noodle salad.

(As Good As It Gets, guessed by

hannahrorlove)

2. Yes, yes. Without the "oops." Thataway.

(Independence Day, guessed by

nightdog_barks and

elynittria)

3. When you talk to the President, you might remind him that I am holding his wife, his daughter, his chief of staff, his national security advisor, his classified papers, and his baseball glove!

(Air Force One, guessed by

perspi and

elynittria)

4. It's the goof of all time. Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? Never!

(Devil's Advocate, guessed by

5. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

(Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, guessed by

pwcorgigirl,

elynittria and

daasgrrl)

6. Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops, where'd my job go?" I quit. Someone pass me the asparagus.

(American Beauty, guessed by

phinnia and

the_drifter)

7. I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear it growin', and you can hear the insects... Do you like Beethoven?

(Leon / The Professional, guessed by

cryptictac)

8. Sixty-five years. Don't they go by in a blink.

ETA: You're not Death. You're just a kid in a suit.

(Meet Joe Black, guessed by

cryptictac)

9. Why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles? Marble champ. So what? If only I could run or swim or do something to be the Camp Champ.

(Care Bears Movie II, guessed by

recrudescence and

cryptictac)

10. You must not be seen, and you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns should do it, I think.

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, guessed by

perspi,

elynittria and

the_drifter)

11. Character 1: What do you call the mouse shadow on the second moon?
Character 2: We call that one Muad'Dib.

(Dune, guessed by

cryptictac and

thewlisian_afer)

12. The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. It's the same with you.

(X-Men, guessed by

thedeadparrot and

the_drifter)

13. I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. Besides which, I think the galaxy owes me one.

(Star Trek: Generations, guessed by

cryptictac)

14. They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses.

(Interview with the Vampire, guessed by

cryptictac)

15. Don't be silly! I could never love anyone more than I love my sisters.

(Little Women, guessed by

ahab99)

#2 is from Independence Day. Jeff Goldblum says it, but I can't remember if it's before or after he's talked about the fat lady.

*g*

*g* Before. It's as Steve is trying to pull out of Area 51, but he had the sticky note directions backwards.

(Remind me to babble sometime about the SGA/Independence Day fusion. John = Hiller (Will Smith). McKay = Levinson (Jeff Goldblum). Weir = Whitmore (Bill Pullman). Wraith = aliens. And on and on.)
