Okay, I found these on Qalmlea's blog (see Sporadic Maunderings in the list of links) and I've never done something like this here before and it sounds kind of fun. Basically how it works is I reproduce the rules, then I follow the rules, then if someone else sees it and likes it they do the same thing on their own blog.
Slight modification: These aren't necessarily my favorite movies so much as movies I liked that I decided to include.
Identifications:
5. The Goonies
8. Aliens
1. "I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape."
"How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Some day they may be scarce."
2. "Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you."
"He was the best of us. They struck without provocation, there was no reason. Animals! Brutal! They deserve no mercy! Strike them down, follow them back to their base and kill all of them, all of them! No mercy!"
3. "Department of Commerce. She's a secretary. They have a man they call the Secretary, but he isn't at all. My mother's a real secretary."
"He was very nice about it, but he made me feel like a third-class witch doctor."
4. "Maybe it's better not to be the best. Then you can lose and it's OK."
"You've lost, you just don't know it yet."
5. "Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life."
6. "It's not that hard. You just call her up and say, 'Hello, I'm a lying grease monkey.'"
"'New Jersey: Leader in Intergalactic Rocket Exploration.' How's that sound for a license plate?"
7. "Who is this jerk? And who told him he could turn off my music?"
"Don't tell me you've never seen the moon before."
8. "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
9. "It smells like puke from a mule been 'ruminating on asparagus for two weeks."
"I'm depending on you. It should be no labor to be nice to your neighbor."
10. "We have the magic rocks. They will keep us safe."
"Why have we not heard of these rocks before?"
11. "But captain, to obey - just like that - for obedience's sake... without questioning... That's something only people like you do."
"Hi! Are you a fairy?"
12. "You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them?"
"In the end it all came down to just one simple question. Which was more important - having proof, or being alive? Trust me. I turned away years ago, and I've never looked back."
13. "Yeah, he's fast! But he won't go any faster. He's a gut runner, digs deep! But a short sprint is run on nerves. It's tailor-made for neurotics."
"My arrogance, sir, extends just as far as my conscience demands."
14. "Good heavens, woman! This is a war, not a garden party!"
"I can shoot straight, if I don't have to shoot too far."
15. "I can't ask him what he's doing. I'm supposed to tell him what he's doing. I ask him what he's doing and I'm gonna look like an idiot."
"Buddy, I think you been spending too much time inhaling them cleaning products."
- Meme rules:
- 1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
- 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
- 3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
- 4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
- 5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.
