It was making the rounds again, and I have a couple new movies to add to my favorites collection, so here goes:

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.


1. I'm Secretary of State, brought to you by Carl's Jr. Idiocracy Mum

2. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. The Dark Knight [livejournal.com profile] ashfae

3. a) "A bit of musicality, please!" b) "Where the man goes, the lady must follow... " Strictly Ballroom [livejournal.com profile] ashfae

4. Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss? The Empire Strikes Back - [livejournal.com profile] magically25

5. a) "You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway Toilets by the time I'm through with you!" b) "Every so often things happen that can't be rationalized in a conventional way. People wanna know their government has a response. I am that response." c) "Oh my God... Um, uh... oh, my God! We... thank you for the... er, food that mom has put in front of us and *stop!*... uh, the Devil... from doing bad things? And er, get out of here!... Uh, Satan? Go! Go so... that we may live in peace. Amen." The Iron Giant [livejournal.com profile] bonsaibetz

6. a) "It's okay, losing to the Jerries on penalties comes natural to you English. You're part of tradition now!" b) "Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was a Pisces." Bend It Like Beckham [livejournal.com profile] dickgloucester

7. a) "And remember parents, your child doesn't need to be a current student for us to accept your generous donations." b) "Anyway, I'm applying because it's an outstanding university, not because the students engage in the rectal transport of steel rods." c) "Um, thank you. I'm not much for public speaking. Or much for speaking. Or, come to think of it, much for the public. And I'm not very good at lying. So let me just say that, in my experience, high school sucks. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have started advanced placement classes in preschool so I could go from eighth grade straight to college. However, given the unalterable fact that high school sucks, I'd like to add that if you're lucky enough to have a good friend and a family that cares it doesn't have to suck quite as much. Otherwise my advice is; Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless experience proves you wrong. Remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is* naked. The truth and a lie are not sort of the same thing. And there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza. Thank you." Daria: Is It College Yet?" [livejournal.com profile] ashfae was close enough.

8. You don't know how lucky you are being a monkey. Being John Malkovich [livejournal.com profile] ashfae


9. I finally get a bouquet and it's a goodbye present. That's depressing. Spirited Away [livejournal.com profile] ashfae


10. a) "Connecticut is the fifth ring of hell." b) "You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it." c) "From now on, the only person who gets to yell is me. Why? Because I have a gun. People with guns get to do whatever they want. Married people without guns - for instance - you - DO NOT get to yell. Why? NO GUNS! No guns, no yelling. See? Simple little equation." The Ref [livejournal.com profile] ashfae

Nope none the wiser but I'm dying to know what 6&7 are

Well, Dicky guessed 6 - "Bend It Like Beckham" (from the same writer/directer who made "Bride and Prejudice").

7 is pretty obscure and kinda not fair as it's a made-for-tv movie. However, it is available on DVD, so I'm counting it, darn it!

Is 6 that football movie with Keira Knightley in? Erm ... Bend it Like Beckham, I think.

Yes it is! (I prefer to think of it as a Gurinder Chadha movie.)

Ah! Is 3 Strictly Ballroom?

And I don't know what 7 is, but man, I want to!

Feel sheepish for not guessing 6. *sheepish* Great movie, that.

You'd enjoy it! I'll give one more hint, then let you know. ;-)

I think Gurinder Chadha's movies are great. The ones I've seen, anyway.

I think 10 must be The Ref, though it's sooooo long since I saw it...

And for 7, huh. The intonation and cynical mentions of high school remind me of Daria, but did they make a Daria movie? (and if they did, why in the hell did I never know of it?!?!)

It is The Ref!

And 7 is my cheaterly insert, as it is indeed Daria's "Is it College Yet" short movie. It may be shorter than average, but it is a movie! (There are actually two movies, that one and a mid-series insert "Is It Fall Yet".)

So go you!

Whoohoo for the Ref! That movie was hilarious.

I don't know that I deserve credit for Daria though, not only had I not seen it I didn't know there *was* a movie, it just sounded like Daria speaking. Damn that show was great.
