You know the rules by now: I post quotes from thirty different movies under the LJ cut; you guess the title of the movie; no Googling allowed. Have fun :)



1) Character #1: That's the last time, (name). That the last time you ever make me look bad in front of those kids, you hear me? I make $31,000 a year and I have a home and I'm not about to throw it all away on some punk like you. But someday when you're outta here and you've forgotten all about this place and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own pathetic life, I'm gonna be there. That's right. And I'm gonna kick the living shit out of you. I'm gonna knock your dick in the dirt.
Character #2: You threatening me?
Character #1: What are you gonna do about it? You think anyone's gonna believe you? You think anyone is gonna take your word over mine? I'm a man of respect around here. They love me around here. I'm a swell guy.
The Breakfast Club, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] filkerdave.

2) Character #1: Have you ever seen any of your victims?
Character #2: You know, I never feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Tell me- would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax - the only way you can save money nowadays.

3) Character #1: FECK YOU!
Character #2: HEY!
Character #1: This is a house of lies!

Character #3: The letter "u."
Almost Famous, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mcsnee.

4) [narration] I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. The Shawshank Redemption, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] onceupon.

5) Character #1: "Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center." Sounds charming.
Character #2: That's only a part of the island. There's a very, very nice beach. Terns nest there. There's beautiful...
Character #1: [cuts her off] Terns? Mmh. If I help you, (name), it will be "turns" with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo.
Silence of the Lambs, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] onceupon.

6) Character #1: (name), The White House wants to know is everything ok with the alien space craft from Planet 10, or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia?

Character #1: Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?

10) Character #1: He doesn't understand that he's the one who has the power to stop it. He simply can't imagine that one little boy could be that important.

Character #2: [shouts] What DO I have to do?
Character #1: He has to give me a new name. He's already chosen it. He just has to call it out.

Character #2: (bitterly) You know all the answers.
Character #1: You go right ahead. Of course, they may be the last words you ever say, but I'll try to kill you as painlessly as possible.
Character #2: (overlapping) I've got to go out tonight; I don't suppose there's anything for dinner?
Character #1: Why, of course there is, darling, there's all sorts of things: we have steak, and asparagus, and potatoes...
Character #2: I don't smell nothing.
Character #1: Well, that figures- you're too far away from it.
Character #2: Too far away from it?
Character #1: Certainly- you didn't think I had it all cooked, did you? It's all down at the shopping center.

13) Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones.Dr. Strangelove, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] lawnrrd.

Character #2: Yeah, I was, but I'm sort of getting over the idea, if you know what I mean.
Character #1: There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. (name). Forty-five miles an hour.

18) Character #1: Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, Six-Double-Five-Three-Two-One?
Character #2: Yes, sir.
Character #1: Then your toes belong on the *other* side of it!
A Clockwork Orange, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] onceupon.

19) Character #1: Did I have you figured wrong?
Character #2: I don't know - I mean, I hope so.
Character #1: I visualised you in a haze as one of those slackster, flannel-wearing, coffee-house misanthropes I've been seeing in Newsweek.
Character #2: No, no, no- I went the other road. Six figures, doing business with lead pipe cruelty, mercenary sensibility. You know... sports, sex, no real relationships. How about you - how have the years been treating you?
Character #1: Well you know me, Martin - still the same old sellout, exploiting the oppressed...
Character #2: Sure.
Character #1: Ah, what a piece of work is man, how noble... oh fuck it, let's have a drink and forget the whole damn thing.
Grosse Pointe Blank, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] onceupon.

20) You know, kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other jokers, but not you. No, kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most...
[cocks pistol]

Kill Bill Vol. I, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] chris_walsh.

21) [On the game show, "Wheel of Fish", Character #2 has just spun the wheel and landed on a red snapper]

Character #1: ...or you can go for what's in the box that (name) is bringing down the aisle right now! What's it gonna be?
[Character #2 has difficulty in choosing as the audience point to the box]
Character #2: I'll take the box. The box!

King Kong '76, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] onceupon.

28) Character #1: Now that's aggravatin'.
Character #2: Sheriff?

Dammit! Beat me to it!

Date: 2008-05-12 04:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] interactiveleaf.livejournal.com
It was the only one that I wasn't beaten to. I knew quite a few more, but so did everyone else, it appears.

I feel your pain.

It probably won't help when I tell you that I'm not actually crazy about the movie. :(

In other thoughts, that line from The Breakfast Club makes me laugh. Dude. You're earning $31,000/year and you're proud of that? How very, very Eighties. We've had inflation since then. :)

Date: 2008-05-12 05:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyotegoth.livejournal.com
Yeah- and Shermer, Illinois is probably a fairly small community, too. (Man- did John Hughes fall off the face of the earth, or what?)

Date: 2008-05-12 05:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] terracinque.livejournal.com
I'm not crazy about Double Indemnity either. I liked MacMurray's friendship with Edward G. Robinson's character much better than his illicit romance with Barbara Stanwyck's.

$31,000/year was a shitload of money in 1983. Don't be a presentist.

Date: 2008-05-12 07:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyotegoth.livejournal.com
Don't be a presentist.
