qosIt's 3am and for some reason I woke up and can't get back to sleep, and I've had this danged movie-quote meme running through my mind, so here's an extra-long list of quotes from my favorite movies.
Go ahead and identify the quotes even if someone else has already done so. I'll be interested to see who knows what, not just who can answer first.
1. Would you classify that as a launch problem, or a design problem?
2. Son of a bitch better stay dead!
3. She thinks she’s a character in a book!
4. A: “Did you, or your sister, kill James?”
B: “Oh, yeah. . . a couple of times.”
5. A: “A snap of my fingers, and you could be back on the block where I found you.”
B: “And with a flick of my wrist, I could change your religion.”
6. He’s got demons? Cool!
7. No reward is worth this!
8. That shouldn’t be too hard to understand for a young lady who reads Plato in Greek.
9. Next time throw yourself in and rid us all of your stupidity!
10. I think we should go with the bizarre and risky, sir. It’s worked for us so far.
11. I guess now we’ll see how professors fight.
12. Pain is your friend. Your ally.
13. Cattle mutilations are up!
14. I got vision and the rest of the world is wearing bifocals!
15. Say you’re the Metatron and everyone looks at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody’s a theology scholar!
16. Terrific! I’m about to be killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung-ho iguana that tells me to relax!
17. Ah, poetry. . . Yes, this it what I want – naughty words!
18. Of all the necks on this boat, your highness, the one you should be worried about is your own.
19. This is a castle. And we have many tapestries. And if you are a Scottish lord, then I am Mickey Mouse!
20. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was afraid. At that moment, I felt small - like I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her level or never be enough for her or something.
21. I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star!
22. Oh you’re a very nice man. Maybe you could be my palace slave.

28. When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.
29. Do you not know that King Kong the first was just three foot six inches tall? He only came up to Faye Wray's belly button! If God could do the tricks that we can do he'd be a happy man!
30. You want to talk to God? Let’s go see him together. I’ve got nothing better to do.
31. A: “You could say we grew up together.”

34. I don't know about honor. But I promise you, I won't kiss you again till you ask me to.
35. My chickens are more advanced than you!
36. In the future, when a woman is crying like that, she isn't having any fun.
37. If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!
38. A: "Why would anyone want to cut out a man's tongue?"
B: "Perhaps the previous owner had nothing pleasant to say."
39. If you can't do as good as a bunch of old Romans, you're no brothers of mine!

But of course!
In special tribute to our Chief Engineer!
5. A: “A snap of my fingers, and you could be back on the block where I found you.”
B: “And with a flick of my wrist, I could change your religion"
God, I love my job! Cutthroat Island
Bzzzt!
Actually, both those quotations are from the same movie (well close: "God, I love my work!" is the version in the actual source of this quote). In fact, there is a quote from Cutthroat Island in the quiz, but you didn't get it. Check your wife's answers. ;-)
6. He’s got demons? Cool!
I like Gonzo. Muppet Treasure Island
Since my household copy comes from yours, I'm not surprised you got this one. I love this line.
7. No reward is worth this!
Star Wars
Yep.
10. I think we should go with the bizarre and risky, sir. It’s worked for us so far.
Arrrr! Down Periscope
Also in tribute to our former lives.
13. Cattle mutilations are up!

This is an infinitely quotable movie. This one just happens to be one of the most concise. I always liked Liz's remarks about the "boy's club."
15. Say you’re the Metatron and everyone looks at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody’s a theology scholar!
Dogma
As a movie lover who is working towards authentic credentials as a theology scholar, this one is particularly close to my heart. Kevin Smith's films are always quotable, but not always in polite company.
16. Terrific! I’m about to be killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung-ho iguana that tells me to relax!
Go, Grigg! The Last Starfighter
You have been recruited by the star league. . .
19. This is a castle. And we have many tapestries. And if you are a Scottish lord, then I am Mickey Mouse!
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
I wasn't sure how many would get this one.
24. That’s the second time I’ve shot that man while he was flying through the air.
He was very vigorous, Father! The Mask of Zorro
I have had 'the proper instruction' since I was four.
41. A: "Strangely enough, it all turns out well."
B: "How?"
A: "I don't know. It's a mystery."
Shakespeare in Love

24. The Mask of Zorro
26. Elizabeth
+2, for 12 total

Date: 2005-01-18 05:22 am (UTC)I *thought* the King Kong bit was from The Stunt Man, but I wasn't confident enough. Ah, well. Even Peter O'Toole can't stay clear in one's mind for almost twenty years!
(no subject)
Date: 2005-01-18 02:06 pm (UTC)First: say something Latinish.
There's another Peter O'Toole quote in the quiz as well. He tends to stay with me more than many other actors. As far as I'm concerned, he is one of the most charismatic madmen on the screen.
And I love the way he says "Gilgamesh."
(You know that story, right?)
(no subject)
Date: 2005-01-19 02:12 am (UTC)"Gilgamesh" rings no bells, not even little bitty ones.

Date: 2005-01-19 04:10 pm (UTC)Matthew Modine's accent is terrible, and he mumbles, but what he said sounded close enough to this that I'm pretty sure he (and I) got it right.

Date: 2005-01-17 06:50 pm (UTC)Sam Waterston, Hopscotch.
7. No reward is worth this!
Harrison Ford, Star Wars.
9. Next time throw yourself in and rid us all of your stupidity!
Ian McKellan, Fellowship of the Ring.
13. Cattle mutilations are up!
Dan Ackroyd, Sneakers.
15. Say you’re the Metatron and everyone looks at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody’s a theology scholar!

Peter O'Toole, The Stunt Man.
30. You want to talk to God? Let’s go see him together. I’ve got nothing better to do.
Harrison Ford, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
32. All my life. . . all I ever wanted to be. . . was him.
Guessing: F. Murray Abraham, Amadeus.
37. If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!
Kevin Costner, Bull Durham

Geoffry Rush, Shakespeare In Love
(no subject)
Date: 2005-01-18 03:12 am (UTC)10 correct.
You missed #32: All my life. . . all I ever wanted to be. . . was him.
Although as guesses go, that was a good one.
I also find it interesting that no one else so far has recognized The Stunt Man, Hopscotch or Bull Durham. To be honest: I'm a little surprised you got Bull Durham. . .
(no subject)
Date: 2005-01-18 04:19 am (UTC)I actually saw it in a theater, probably during its original release...though I can't for the life of me remember why or with whom!
As to The Stunt Man and Hopscotch, I suspect that our fondness for those films was...um...idiosyncratic.
(no subject)
Date: 2005-01-18 01:51 pm (UTC)You didn't get "She thinks she's a character in a book!"??
And - uhm - where did you find that icon?
It's certainly not what I would have expected!
