Courtesy of Sizzle…remember how odd my taste in movies can be as you work on this.
* Pick 15 of your favorite movies
* Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie (or quote them from memory because you are that bad ass)
* Post them on your blog for everyone to guess
* Fill in the film title once it’s been guessed
These are your rules:
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions (Don’t cheat!)
* Leave your answer(s) in the comments
1. Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that’s what we need. (I Heart Huckabees – Guessed by Paul)
2. I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle. (T2- Guessed by E.)
3. The beauty of quitting is, now that I’ve quit, I can have one, ’cause I’ve quit. (Coffee & Cigarettes – guessed by no one, admittedly a tough/obscure one)
4. Justice is balance. You burned down my house and left me for dead. Consider us even. (Batman Begins – Guessed by Horshack…errr, I mean Hilly)
5. That’s Ren and Stimpy. They’re way existential. (Clueless – Guessed by Hilly)
6. This is your receipt for your husband… and this is my receipt for your receipt. (Brazil – Guessed by Paul)
7. Now, girls. I want you to concentrate. Failure is not an option. And Bethany? If you feel the need to vomit up there, just swallow it. (Donnie Darko – Guessed by no one)
8. I saw Robbie Taylor crying today. He didn’t know, but I saw. Do you think I should report him? (Equilibrium – Guessed by no one, another toughie because E. is the only other person I am certain has seen it)
9. I know what stomach cancer looks like. I’ve seen it, and you don’t eat three cheeseburgers a day with french fries when you got it. (The Royal Tennenbaums – Guessed by Stephanie)
10. You’re faster than this. Don’t think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me. (The Matrix – Guessed by E.)
11. I love the smell of commerce in the morning. (Mallrats – Guessed by Hilly)
12. Don’t forget to kill Philip! (Shaun of the Dead – Guessed by Stephanie)
13. Okay, we just take everything that’s embarrassing and we move it out of here so it doesn’t look like you live in Neverland Ranch. (40 Year Old Virgin – Guessed by Sizzle)
14. Do I look like the mother of the future? I mean, am I tough, organized? I CAN’T EVEN BALANCE MY CHECKBOOK. (The Terminator – Guessed by Stephanie)
15. I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap–high school and everything–just skip it. (Little Miss Sunshine – Guessed by Stephanie)

So many of them are familiar but I am only certain about one of them.
#13 40 Year Old Virgin
March 14, 2008 at 5:11 pm
#5 Clueless
I am thinking about some of the others and will be back!
March 14, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Ooh ooh ooh…Horshak here:
#4 is Batman Begins
March 14, 2008 at 5:17 pm
#2 Terminator?
March 14, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Last one…#11 is Mallrats.
I don’t know any of the others without the Google…and now I will go Google to see if I should hit myself over my head with a brick or not
March 14, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Hixx–can you be more specific? i.e., which one?
March 14, 2008 at 5:48 pm
How funny that I just figured out what 12 is by looking for my OWN quotes for my version of this!
March 14, 2008 at 6:03 pm
I’m pretty sure #2 is Terminator 3.
#9 is The Royal Tennebaums
#10 is Fight Club?
#14 is Terminator 1
#15 is Little Miss Sunshine
#12 sounds so familiar, but I cant think of it!

#2 is Terminator 2 — Arnie walks into a bar in his birthday suit, patrons stare at him, and he says this line to a guy roughly matching his build. The guy laughs, puts-out his cigar on Arnie’s chest and responds “…you forgot to say please.” Arnie responds by kicking his ass (and that of several others) in characteristic ruthless robotic fashion.
#10 is The Matrix — Morpheus is teaching Neo kung-fu in a virtual martial arts studio, trying to build his speed…
Stephanie might be right about #14 being T1, but despite that currently being my favorite movie, I actually don’t remember that line (but it does seem vaguely familiar)… :-/
March 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Oh, #12 is “Shaun of the Dead”
I KNEW i knew that one!
March 14, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Is #12 “Money Python & the Holy Grail”?
(My second guess is “Southpark: The Movie” – there’s no rule against guessing twice! ;P )
March 14, 2008 at 7:28 pm
OK, #1 is either Huckabees or Zoolander…
March 14, 2008 at 7:33 pm
And #6 is my favorite Gilliam movie of all time.
How the hell did I skip right past THAT one?
March 14, 2008 at 7:36 pm
The big question is, which of these (3, 7, 8, 12) is Donnie Darko?
Because you KNOW one of them is.
March 14, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Good point Paul!… I’m guessing #8 is Donnie Darko.
March 14, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Ahem.
#6 is Brazil. Put it up there.
Sheesh.

Ha. There are a couple of mine over on my blog that Diane couldn’t guess – but she’s got different quotes from the same movies up here!
