On a lighter note...

[flexagon]

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
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. Looking them up is cheating, please don't.

Note: this was quite hard for me, since I don't actually have many movies that leap to mind as "favorites". Thus, I found eight. One movie is represented three times here. Possibly these are all way too easy... but it was nice putting the list together, reading all the quotes and remembering the cleverness and passion for life that's embodied in most of these films. So start guessing.

1. On really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion. --Waking Life, heisenbug


2. "Daddy, are we lost?" "Don't worry, I've got four-wheel drive."--Spirited Away, heisenbug


3. My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell. --American Beauty, heisenbug


4. Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments flabbergasted to be in each others presence. --Waking Life, heisenbug


5. I don't know. She doesn't want to be white trash anymore. I told her, "You're white honey! Just get over it."


6. This is the only book I've ever read in my whole life, and you're not going to put it on that fire!--Pleasantville, hiddenbear


7. Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? --Waking Life, heisenbug


8. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory.


9. Greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, anarchy: now that's fun!


10. End, begin, all the same. Big change. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. --The Dark Crystal, miyyu

I'm surprised you left out "As the pattern gets more intricate and subtle, being swept along is no longer enough."

[flexagon]

That one would have been way too easy.

[miyyu.livejournal.com]

#10 is from The Dark Crystal, yes?

[flexagon]

Yes, it is. :)

I can hear the rhythm of Olgra's voice in my head when she says that line. That's one of my all time favorite movies. It bridges the gap between kid-adoration and adult-adoration nicely.

[heisenbug]

I could hear the rhythm, but I couldn't remember the movie.

[heisenbug]

Oh, all right, I guess others have had enough chance that it won't feel like cheating.

1, 4, and 7 are Waking Life.

3 is American Beauty.

6 sounds like it must be Fahrenheit 451, though I don't remember if you've ever mentioned seeing the movie.

9 is, I'm guessing, The Fifth Element, though there are others that it could be.

[heisenbug]

Ok, wrong on 9, but my second guess would have been right.

[flexagon]

You're wrong on 6, too. I haven't seen that movie... who would want to when the writing in the book is so exquisite?

[heisenbug]

Oh! Duh. I figured out #2 at the gym. It has to be Spirited Away.

My super ex-girlfriend?

Dammit, I know #9... I looked it up and argh, I can't believe I forgot that one already. :P

[flexagon]

That movie (don't name it here, obviously) is my all-time favorite, or at least was for years and years. :)

[webrat.livejournal.com]

Ditto. I own it. Obviously I need to re-watch it again.

[hiddenbear.livejournal.com]

#6 is from Pleasantville? #5 is so damn familiar, but I just can't place it.

[flexagon]

Yes! I thought that one would be too easy, but I guess not.
