Below are ten quotes from films. Reply to this post to guess what the films are and I will think of a fun prize for the winner. Perhaps a drabble or a short vid, winner's preference. No internet searching for the answers, please - reveals posted tomorrow and comments are screened in the meantime. You get one point for every correctly guessed film title, one point for every correctly guessed character attribution, one point for being the first to guess either and one point for including an additional quote from any of the films off the top of your head. *Spoilers for the movies may be contained within the quotes*
1. "It was Freak told me about King Arthur. It was Freak told me everything."
2. "WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever."
3. "Poor people are crazy, Jack. I'm eccentric."
4. "But face it. You're a neo maxi zoom dweebie, what would you be doing if you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?"
5. "Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket."
6. "Look, you're not gonna be picking a fight, Dad... Dad-Dad-Daddy-O."
7. "Chris I'm begging you, it's really scary here. I've just seen three people shoot up, a bald Chinese lady with no pants on, and there's this old guy outside who wants his bedroom slippers!"
8. "What's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting."
9. "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."
10. "It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories you can make up. And He said, "This is what we got for ya, kid. Try not to lose it." Kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should."

Date: 2013-05-14 07:03 am (UTC)(Also, I'm guessing character attribution means the character who said the line.)
1. Freak the Mighty
2. The Princess Bride-Westley
6. Back to the Future (part 1) -Marty (Additional quote: "Last night Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told that if I didn't take Lorraine out, that he'd melt my brain."
9. Dirty Dancing-Baby (Additional quote: No one puts Baby in the corner.)
no subject
Date: 2013-05-15 09:59 pm (UTC)Yes, character attribution means the character who said the line.
You had a pretty impressive score of 12 and a half. I only gave you a half for your Freak the Mighty guess because the movie is actually called, "The Mighty."
But the other guesses were correct. Loved your additional quote for "Back to the Future." I thought of using that one.

Warning, my bonus quotes are really shitty!
Date: 2013-05-14 09:36 am (UTC)2 is Wesley from Princess Bride talking to Prince Humperdink(?)... um... bonus quote... does it still count if I say "My Name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die?" lol.
5 is Mikey in The Goonies talking them out of riding up the wishing well bucket and keeping on the adventure to find One Eyed Willy's treasure! A bonus quote... *ponders* "Nice going double O negative!"
6 is Marty McFly in Back To The Future! I really can't think of another quote, sorry! (I haven't seen those movies in like 5 years man)
7 is Brenda in Adventures in Babysitting on the payphone in the bus station! Bonus quote a la Brenda: "You monsters! You're going to kill a harmless baby kitten?" (talking to the dudes while holding a giant rat without her galsses on)
8 is the unnamed lady from the beginning of Scream 2 who is reluctant to go see a killer movie... then dies at the theatre. Bonus quote: "Ok, all right then, but if she's not a killer, she's a target." Randy talking about Gail Weathers when discussing the suspects with Dewey.
I definitely feel like I've heard 9 and 10, just can't place them. One and four I'm pretty sure I've never heard in my life.
Re: Warning, my bonus quotes are really shitty!
Date: 2013-05-15 10:14 pm (UTC)And especially impressive was your not only giving me the character but the description of the scene as well.
Your guess for number 8 was wrong, though. The correct answer as "Scream." Sydney said it. It's kind of easy to confuse because I think the quote you were probably thinking of was "It's a dumbass white movie, about some dumbass white girls, getting their dumbasses cut the fuck up."
1 was from "The Mighty" and 4 was "The Breakfast Club." If you haven't seen either I seriously recommend them.

Date: 2013-05-15 10:20 pm (UTC)You were right about the movie for number 8, but not the character. Sydney said that line in "Scream" (the Neve Campbell character.)
Not stupid at all. You get one point for your correct guess.

Date: 2013-05-14 01:42 pm (UTC)9 is Dirty Dancing and Baby says it. I suppose the most famous quote from that is 'Nobody puts Baby in a corner'
I want to say 6 is Back to the Future, Marty to George, but I'm not 100% sure.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-15 10:26 pm (UTC)Your were correct about number 6, both movie and character.
You got 8 points, tied for third.

Four points!
