Audience Participation Required

I have seen this movie meme going around, most recently on Kendra’s blog and I finally decided to do it myself. Here are the rules:

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

****Hint*** I like lots of different movies, but no horror movies.

1. “I’s married now! I’s married now!”
Great job, Bertha! It is from “The Color Purple“

2. “I am the pharaoh’s daughter, and this is my son. He shall be reared in my house, as the prince of the two lands.” ***HINT*** Not Ben Hur. Yay, Dianne! It is from “The Ten Commandments“. I have great memories of watching this every Lent at my Grandparent’s house. I still watch it every year.

3. “Shampoo is better. I go on first and clean the hair. Conditioner is better. I leave the hair silky and smooth. Oh, really, fool? Really. Stop looking at me, swan.” Woo hoo, Bertha! One of my all time faves, “Billy Madison“

4. “Did you and Dad have fun getting stoned?”

5. “Everybody seems to kerbabbled. Isn’t this just a little superfluous?”

6. “Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you’re being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don’t forget what you’re celebrating, and that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.” Great job, Kendra! I figured that you would know a bunch of these…our tastes are so similar. This one is from “Dazed and Confused“. What I imagine my parent’s life was like Senior year.

7. “I’m pleasant. Damn it! I saw Drum Eatenton at the Piggly Wiggly this morning, and I smiled at the son of a bitch ‘fore I could help myself.” Great job, Susan! “Steel Magnolias” still makes me cry every time I see it. And laugh until I almost pee. I adore Ouiser Boudreaux.

8. “If you can’t be in athlete, be an athetic supporter.” Yay, Kendra! I was hoping that this quote would be a bit more obscure. It is from “Grease”. I remember my Aunts had the Grease album and I used to just stare at the cover. My BFF has a strong affinity for Grease as well and can most likely quote the movie word for word.

9. “And I promise you I’ll never desert you again because after ‘Salome’ we’ll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!… All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”

10. “We must not expect happiness, Sayuri. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well, it is a sudden gift; it cannot last forever…” WooHoo, Little Cat! This is from “Memoirs of A Geisha“, a movie that I think is absolutely fabulous. The book captivated me when it came out about 8 or so years ago and I was happy that the movie follows the book pretty well.

11. “Beeeeeee. Gooood.” Way to go, Jill! It is “E.T.“, the first movie I ever saw in a theater.

12. “Oh, he’s very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads – they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.” Yay, Kristin. This one is from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off“. I adore this mindless movie and watch it multiple times a year.

13. “And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…” Yay, another one for Bertha! “Office Space” is a cult classic. Either you love it or hate it. I love it.

14. “Looks like Chuck’s taking old one-eye to the optometrist.” Great job, Jill! “Grumpy Old Men” has so many good one-liners that it was hard to pick one.

15. “Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?” Another one for Kendra. This is from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation“. I love Chevy Chase and used to have a crush on him even though he is at least 20 years older than I am.
