Name that movie

[bironic]

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 cryptictac)


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)

THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE?

WHICH ONE DID I WATCH, THEN? LOL. i knew there was *a* Care Bears movie that I'd watched but I didn't realise there was more than one.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hee, there are at least two. I will hold off on describing them in case someone else knows the quote. :)

ETA: Okay, recrudescence's got it, so: the first had a kid called Nicholas who was seduced over to the dark side by a green face in a book he found at a carnival in a ... magician's chest? And the second was about Dark Heart and the three kids at camp and the Care Bear cousins singing the growing up song. And they were all Canadian, which I never knew when I was a kid; they just sounded like them. Same with the Fraggles.

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

...the Care Bears are Canadian? WTF?

I remember the green face in the book freaked me out. So did the robots on the checkerboard in Care Bears in Wonderland.

Care Bears in Wonderland???

It was freaky! Especially when he squished her and she bulged from between the pages.

They are. Tenderheart has a total Canadian accent. And there were totem poles all over the camp. Okay, so they could be Alaskan, but the "aboats." The "aboats."

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I... have to go find that.

after Satan Dark Heart teaches Christy how.

*blink* And always spelling Christy with a K in my head meant that I never saw the blatant religious allegory there. The protean redhead tempts the innocent whose name starts with Christ. Huh.

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

I want to get a grant to study the allegorical undercurrents in Care Bear movies.

And I think I initially imagined her name being spelled with a K, too, since later one I got into the Baby-Sitters Club and she reminded me of Kristy Thomas.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

If I had grants to bestow, I'd give you one.

Oh, Baby-Sitters Club... Such happy memories.

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

Yeeeah, I remember the totem poles...and John, Dawn, and Christy being the slowest ones in the race to one of them at the beginning. I am either awesome or pitiful for remembering this. I think I hurt myself once trying to do a cartwheel after Satan Dark Heart teaches Christy how.

Care Bears in Wonderland! It's awesome--there's a girl named Alice with no self-esteem and Swiftheart Rabbit's uncle is the White Rabbit, and Alice looks just like the Princess of Wonderland and everyone gets confused and ends up saving Wonderland from...uh, some guy in purple who looks like a cross between Snidely Whiplash and Jafar and has two little minions who are afraid of spiders.

I could go on. Seriously.

Er. Sorry about that. See above. :)
