Movie Quote Meme

Here's a fun meme I saw on Lynn's blog that I decided to go for:

Here are the rules:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb (Internet Movie Database) and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess (if you know them all, please don't guess every one).
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling or IMDb-ing. That's cheating, and that's no fun!

Some of my favorite quotes from some of my favorite movies:

1. Always pays to tell the truth, Lord. Thank you. I see that now. (Christina guessed Ladyhawke correctly!)

2. That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back. (Trish gets this one: The Princess Bride)

3. Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick. (Amy guesses right with A Knight's Tale)

4. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you? (Twiga gets this one with a guess for Star Wars: A New Hope)

5. Does it come in black?

6. I'll come 'round sometime and get that squeak out of your door.

7. We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast? (Amy gets this one: Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the Ring) )

8. She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me. (BooksPlease guesses Pride and Prejudice correctly!)

9. Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine. We're square. (Elena gets it with a guess for Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the Black Pearl) )

10. You smell like sweet red plums and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Comment with your answers. Also, let me know if you decide to try it and I'll come and guess a movie!

I don't have a clue on any of them! I guess I need to go to the movies more often.

Suey said...

Really? And I thought they were all too easy!

trish said...

I know the second one is from The Princess Bride.

trish said...

I know the second one is from The Princess Bride.

Suey said...

Yep, you've got that one Trish!

Elena said...

I knew the second one - and I think the ninth is Jack Sparrow talking to Elizabeth Swann. I'll guess it's from Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End.

Elena said...

And I think I just got #6 - is it Sam talking to Kate Barlow in Holes?

Suey said...

Close enough on #9 Elena... it's from the first Pirates. But #6 is not Holes, though it does sound like it could be.

Amy said...

I know that # 3 is from A Knight's Tale and I think #7 is from The Lord of the Rings.

:)

Suey said...

Yep Amy! You are right on both!

Amy said...

I played. You can find my answers here.

1. Ladyhawke

Ack! Posted me as anonymous!

1. Ladyhawke

I also know 4 and 8, but I won't be greedy. Besides, I have to get cracking on my own list.

Christina said...

I'm back. My list is up.

And I also think I know 5, too. The movie I'm thinking stars the same actor from 4, but it's not his line.

This was so much fun!

Suey said...

Number 1 is Ladyhawke... ah I love that movie! Come back and guess the others you know if no one else takes a shot at it.

BooksPlease said...

8 - Pride and Prejudice, I think.

twiga92 said...

#4 is from Star Wars, Episode IV. I can't remember if it had a name. I should remember, my hubby has watched these movies like ten zillion times. LOL!

Suey said...

BooksPlease and Twiga... you are both right! (Star Wars IV is called "A New Hope", but I never call it that... it's just "Star Wars" to me!)

Christina said...

Love Ladyhawke, too! It was the first movie I ever bought on DVD.

And in the clear light of day, after a good night's sleep, I do not know what number 5 is after all. I thought it was from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Susan said...

'Does it come in Black?' - is that Men in Black?

Suey said...

It isn't Men in Black, Susan. But great guess!
