Downsized movie meme (stolen from cerianite)

1. Pick 20 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie (or call one up from your memory).
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions, people!. THAT'S CHEATING!!



1. I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune. 
    -I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.
    -It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.  The Thin Man, 1934, guessed (more or less *g*) by [livejournal.com profile] chattycatsmeow 

2. You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years.  Citizen Kane, 1941, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] delphia2000  

3. No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.  Gone With The Wind, 1939, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lilyleia78 

4. It's all right, that's in every contract. That's what they call a sanity clause. 
    -You can't fool me! There ain't no Sanity Claus!  A Night at the Opera, 1935, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] jd_junkie 

5. Why, you speak treason!  
    -Fluently.  The Adventures of Robin Hood, 1938, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] chattycatsmeow 

6. Brad, she is the sweetest, she is the loveliest, she is the most talented woman I have ever met. 
    -That's what you said when you married that stripper.
    -She wasn't a stripper. She was an exotic dancer... with trained doves.  Pillow Talk, 1959, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mornincamper 

7. Yes, angel, I'm gonna send you over. The chances are you'll get off with life. That means if you're a good girl, you'll be out in 20 years. I'll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I'll always remember you. The Maltese Falcon, 1941, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] chattycatsmeow 
 
8. Where were you last night?
    -That's so long ago, I don't remember.
   - Will I see you tonight? 
   - I never make plans that far ahead.  Casablanca, 1942, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] delphia2000 

9. Lina. She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat. Singin' in the Rain, 1952, guessed by  [livejournal.com profile] lilyleia78 

10. That's funny, that plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops. North by Northwest, 1959, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] chattycatsmeow 


(Hint: think 30's, 40's and 50's)

3 & 7 are Bogie and if it wasn't so late at night I'd be able to tell you which movie.

Most of these sound familiar, in fact.

3 - Gone with the Wind. I'm pretty sure.

9 - Singing in the rain?

At the moment I am more concerned with "Why can't I find the spider that just went under the couch??"

GAH!

edited to add - I just realized where #3 is from. Duh!! Now off to find the broom and start poking things.

::shudders::

#10 - North by Northwest?

::have broom, need flashlight, too. Damn spider::

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, and for #7 - Maltese Falcon?

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Dammit. I can't find the spider and now my bad knee hurts from kneeling on the floor and poking under the furniture.

#5 makes me think "Costume Drama". First to come to mind is Scarlet Pimpernel, but I don't think that 's right. (There's a movie I need to re-watch)

Hmmm.... I'm going to go with "Robin Hood" for #5.

Yay! You have no idea how close I came to saying Pimpernel! :D

Is #6 Some like it hot?

[identity profile] delphia2000.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
#2 is Citizen Kane and #8 is Casablanca. I know that #4 is the Marx Bros, but I'm not sure which one...Duck Soup?

4. It's all right, that's in every contract. That's what they call a sanity clause.

Marx Brothers, "The Coconuts". Groucho and Chico.

#4 = A Night at the Opera!

[identity profile] mornincamper.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I missed the "Brad" in the wee hours! That's Pillow Talk!
(now help me remember the name of the recent remake - not an exact remake, but so that style - w/Rene Zellwiger, cause I can't get the theme music out of my head!)

[identity profile] mornincamper.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha! Down With Love, with Renee Zelwegger and Ewan McGregor (who's kinda hot in his nerdy persona, imho)
The more I think about it, the more it mirrors Pillow Talk...they even have the split screen telephone scene *g* I think you'd enjoy it!

Dagnabbit. I *know* that I know #1 but I can't even dredge up a voice or an image or a feeling for it.

This will drive me bonkers.

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, please!

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! We didn't have a color TV growing up, so ALL the movies were B&W. I didn't know that The Wizard of Oz was in colour until I was in high school. :)

One of the speakers is a woman? Hmmm...that does help. Must go ruminate on this...

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Is the woman Mae West, Claudette Colbert or Myrna Loy? If yes, which one of the three is she?

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
D'oh! There you go, being logical again!

::wanders off to ponder some more::

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Myrna Loy and William Powell as Nick and Nora Charles in one of the Thin Man Movies?

edited because I left out half of the title!

[identity profile] chattycatsmeow.livejournal.com 2009-03-15 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I love Nick and Nora, partying their way through intrigue and mystery, bantering all the while. Myrna was also great with Cary Grant in one of my other fave films, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House."
