Here's a nifty little meme/game/whatever I found at Dragons, Butterflies and Lady Bugs.
1. Pick 13 movies that you enjoy.
2. Pick a line of dialog that you like.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. NO cheating!!! That means NO: Google, IMDb, etc.!
To add a little spice I'm going to give a point to each first correct answer. Some of these are pretty difficult. Any left after 24 hours will go to 2 points each.
Adendum to #4, no searching my archives either.
Quotey bits are in the extended entry:
1.We are now up against live, hostile targets. So, if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch.
Dog Soldiers, caught by Garret2.
I'm not here for cigarettes or bubble gum, my boy. Can you tell me the name of the person who broke the record on that game over there, and where I might find him?
The Last Starfighter, caught by Holly3.
The video arcade is down the street. Here we just sell small rectangular objects. They're called books. They require a little effort on your part, and make no bee-bee-bee-bee-beeps. On your way please.
The Neverending Story, caught by Holly4.
I find it difficult to convince myself that God would have introduced such a foul being into creation without endowing her with some virtues, hmmm?
The Name of the Rose, caught by dafyd5.
My darling, you have to be standing up in order to be able to fall. I mean, if you keep sitting on your ass, nothing's gonna happen. "Only brave warriors fall off their horses in battle. How can kneeling cowards know what a fall is?" Listen sweetheart, the main thing is, you have to fight the battle.
Monsoon Wedding, caught by Jeremy6.
His destructive programming is taking effect. He'll be irresistibly drawn to large cities where he'll back up plumbing, reverse street signs, and steal everyone's left shoe.
Lilo & Stitch, caught by Lovely Wife7.
The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?
Full Metal Jacket, caught by Lovely Wife8.
People need people, Steve. It has nothing to do with sex. OK, maybe 40 percent. 60 percent. Forget it.
Singles, caught by Lovely Wife9.
I love waking up in the morning not knowing where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna meet. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge, and now here I am, on the grandest ship in the world, having champagne with you fine people.
Titanic, caught by Helen10.
Last year, more people were killed by automobile accidents, heart attacks, lung cancer, and natural causes combined than by any one tomato.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, caught by Victor11.
We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts.
Stripes, caught by Random Penseur12.
I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy corksuckers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves.
Johnny Dangerously, caught by Squire Trelane13.
You know your weapons. It's a lever-action, breech loader. Usual barrel length's thirty inches. This one has an extra four. It's converted to use a special forty-five caliber, hundred and ten grain metal cartridge, with a five-hundred forty grain paper patch bullet. It's fitted with double set triggers, and a Vernier sight. It's marked up to twelve-hundred yards. This one shoots a mite further.
Quigley Down Under, caught by Squire Trelane
I know Number 6!
Lilo and Stich!
Number 7.........no brainer!
Full Metall Jacket

#13: Quigley Down Under.
Loved that scene. :)
Correct and correct. Wow, I figured the Quigley one would go to the end. So, you must be the other guy who bought the tape, eh? hehe
#10 is Attack of the Killer Tomatos
One for Victor!
Hmmm...that's two of my 'killers' dead already. This little contest may be over quicker than I thought.
2. Last of the Star Fighters??
3. Never Ending Story??
Thank you, Jim. BTW, I just found out the director, producer, or writer of Attack of the... spells like Dan Quayle (I used the IMDB to check the spelling just now. I was gonna give you some grief, but that wouldn't be right).
Number 2 is Last Starfighter!
Holly
Good snag. It's "The Last Starfighter" but you're more than close enough.
Victor
You're thinking of potato. Tomato is properly pluralized with an "e" in there. Seriously.
3 is Neverending Story
9 is Titanic
Is #1 Dog Soldiers?
Number 11 is from Farinheit 9/11, right?
;-)
Ooh, the action is coming fast and heavy. Faster than I can update!
Helen gets Titanic. Sorry, dear. Holly beat you for the other two.
#9 - Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic
Argh! HELEN!
;)
#1 is Dog Soldiers. I can guarantee I've never quoted F911.
One point for Garret!
By the way, Susie's going to be pissed. That was a gimme for her.
11 is from Stripes!
So it is. Thanks, Jim, I went to dictionary.com.
11. Stripes. Bill Murray.
RP: Correct!
Victor: My pleasure. ;)
Just a hair late, Jen.
Bah. Too late.
#5: As Good As It Gets?
Nope, it's not As Good as it Gets.
#5: Gone With the Wind?
4. Dogma?
Sorry jacqui & JohnL, both wrong.
#5: Monsoon wedding?
I also think i know #4 but i will leave it for a bit to see if anyone else gets it.
Yup, #5 is indeed Monsoon Wedding.
The "hmmm" gives 4 away - tis Laird Sean of Connery in The Name of the Rose
That's the one!
I'll get the points awarded later this afternoon.
Great job y'all!
That was cool! I'll have to try this at my blog. Maybe I'll get some readers.
(Yes, I know I'd have some readers if I posted more. Work and life are conspiring against me.)
