All right, all right, this meme's been going around again, and while I usually don't do it simply because I can't pick twenty favorite movies and a lot of my favorite movies are embarrassing, you all know me and have forgiven me, I think. So the list is more "twenty movies I like and will watch repeatedly" than "twenty favorite movies ever".
Ahem.
Pick twenty of your favorite movies, find a quote from each one and post them here for everyone to guess. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. No Googling or IMDb searches, that's cheating!
1.“Look, lady, I only speak two languages: English and Bad English.” The Fifth Element, guessed by
brewsternorth
2.“I will eviscerate you in fiction. Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked for a day; you will be naked for eternity.” - A Knight's Tale, guessed by
primsong
3. “Well, I suppose if I had wanted a safe life, I wouldn't have married a man who studies rocks.”
4.“Okay, first of all, it's "cretin". If you're going to threaten me, do it properly.” - Monsters, Inc., guessed by
brewsternorth
5. “Hey...you're a talker. What's a good word, a solid word for "need"?”
“Well, "need" is a good, solid word.”
“Nah. Too needy.”
6. “Although I've dedicated my life to God and His goodness, I secretly love throwing oranges at our priest.”
7. “When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.”
8.“Well, love is a gift, a lot of people don't remember that. So, you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin' at you from a neverending parade of stupid.” - Hairspray, guessed by
primsong
9.“You're crazy!”
“ No. Spiteful, vindictive, *very large*, but never crazy.” - Enchanted, guessed by
carawj
10.“Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways. It's rude. One might question your upbringing.” - The Little Mermaid, guessed by
charleygirl
11.“You wanna be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village.” - Hot Fuzz, guessed by
airie_fairy and
brewsternorth

livii
13.“I was just remembering the last time we had a quiet drink together. I had a milkshake.” - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, guessed by
kayliemalinza
14.“What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?” - Galaxy Quest, guessed by
pimpmytardis
15.“Alright, let's say that this boxcar is sixty feet long, OK?, and one third of it is across this switch here, alright... And now another train is coming... Now, how far do you have to move this boxcar so that the other train doesn't smash it? Quickly Brad, there are thousands of lives at stake...” - Close Encounters of the Third Kind, guessed by
brewsternorth
16. “Do you ever have a normal day?”
“Yeah. Once. It was a Thursday.”
17. “Now in these last agonizing minutes of life you have left, let me answer the question you asked earlier more thoroughly. Right at this moment, the biggest "R" I feel is Regret. Regret that maybe the greatest warrior I have ever known, met her end at the hands of a bushwhackin, scrub, alky piece of shit like you. That woman deserved better.”
18.“Don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and die! Don't have sex in the missionary position, don't have sex standing up, just don't do it, OK, promise? OK, now everybody take some rubbers.” - Mean Girls, guessed by
kennedycamelot
19. “You, slave, will be torn apart by horses, to the plaudits of the troops and the amusement of the children.”
20. “The truly extraordinary is not permitted in science and industry. Perhaps you'll find more luck in your field, where people are happy to be mystified.”
Hopefully these won't be too obvious.
I should do something useful with myself today, but I'm at something of a loss as to what.
Ahem.

I'm so pleased at myself for getting any of these. I have shit memory recall for quotes.

I chose some trickier quotes for what I thought would be obvious movies - and there were a couple I didn't remember until I looked them up. :D

I ALMOST USED THE LINE THAT HENRY JONES USED AFTER SICCING THE SEAGULLS ON THE GERMAN PLANE, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO OBSCURE. ALSO UPSETTING, BECAUSE SEAGULLS GET KILLED.

BTW, in the same vein here's little bit of YT-weirdness that at least I found pretty amusing..
The Mermaid can leave her hat on, kinda.

The bizarre thing is, I can kind of see the logic behind the pairing now that I think about it.

Perhaps it's the whole massive corporation lurking behind all of it-thing and the imbuing of stiffly conventional, shallow and watered-out values in worst cases, that are also to blame for that tendency.. Not that I would mean to disparage the sheer artistry present in any of it.
Have you seen the Fairy Use Tale, Beeb or BorderPatrolBull's snarky Pocahontas Review? All of them quite wonderful satire, in my eyes.
Woah. Sorry to ramble on.. :S

Especially in the case of something more suggestive, there's the whole oh-god-my-childhood thing going on when I try to watch it. Because (unlike the rest of fandom, it seems) the Disney films, for me, arrived at a time when I was more or less oblivious to and/or disgusted by sex, and so any association between the two spheres feels wrong to me.
I'm sure there's a Disney fandom out there someplace, but I just...do not want to look for it. o__o
Thanks for linking to the videos, though!
