film quiz! (now with even more correct answers than ever before!)
updated update: well done everyone! just one and a half quotes to go…
i saw this on gabrielle’s blog, and thought it was appropriate oscars day fare…
i’m going to post quotes from 15 of my favourite films below. (take note: some of them are two-parters…) guess in the comments if you know the quote and the first one to each gets the credit. NO GOOGLING or otherwise trawling the net - play fair! (and if you know ‘em all, be nice and just guess one or two so others can join in, k?) okay, here we go…
1. - “You are so self-righteous, you know. I mean we’re just people. We’re just human beings, you know? You think you’re God.”
- “I gotta model myself after someone.” - yay for sally! it IS manhattan.
2. “I’ve had it up to my ass with sedate.” - LOTS of guesses about which one was thelma and louise, but finally helen nailed it!
3. “Waiter, there is too much pepper on my paprikash.” when harry met sally - good work, keris! i *knew* you’d get that one. (honorable mentions to sue and claire, just not quite fast enough!)
4. “Claustrophia and a dead body - this is a neurotic’s jackpot!” - well spotted, pom! it’s manhattan murder mystery.
5. “He’s all right! Aren’t you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name!” breakfast at tiffany’s - helen TM got it! (and was the first to get one, btw!)
6. - “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
- “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.” sally nailed it - classic babs streisand (and ryan o’neal making fun of love story) in what’s up doc? (which i lurrrrrrrrrrrrrve).
7.”That’s it. Out you two pixies go - through the door, or out the window!” - it’s a wonderful life, isn’t it, peepo?
8. “I am so glad that I got sober now so I can be hyper-conscious for this series of humiliations.” - postcards from the edge - right again keris! :)
9. - “I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else.”
- “Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know.”
10. “Don’t worry. We can walk to the curb from here.” - annie hall, of course! pom said it first.
11. “Lawyers should never marry other lawyers. This is called in-breeding; from this comes idiot children… and other lawyers.” - after a hint or two, peepo finally got it: adam’s rib. if you haven’t seen it, why not? katharine hepburn, spencer tracy and (my favourite) judy holliday in a classic almost-feminist film.
12. “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” - goodfellas, good stuff peepo!
13. “”Abt natural, I’ve got a gub!” - jas gets half a point for flagging it up as a woody allen quote… but which movie?
14. “You and your lousy letters. Just to get one of them made me special even before I opened it. All your crappy stories, all your big dreams.” - good work again, helen TM! it *was* the biggest girlie weepie of all time, beaches (remember all those letters they wrote?) - sob!
15. “Okay, so you’re probably going, “Is this like a Noxzema commercial or what?” But seriously, I actually have a way normal life for a teenage girl.” - sally got it again! - she’s not clueless… (geddit?)
good luck!!!

No 5 - Breakfast at Tiffanys!
And I think I know No’s 6 & 12, but as for the rest - no idea! I’m rubbish! x
February 24, 2008
Yay! Of course…
(there’s another Audrey in there if you can find it…) x
February 24, 2008
Is No.6 Love story?
Hmm, am struggling with the other Audrey one x
February 24, 2008
Ah, no - you have to look at both parts of that quote, it’s a bit of a trick! ;)
February 24, 2008
No.3 is When Harry Met Sally, of course! Phew, would have been embarrassed if I hadn’t got that one.
I know No.6 SO WELL too and I know it’s going to drive me mad until I remember it.
February 24, 2008
No 10, Annie Hall?
No 4, Manhattan murder mystery perhaps..?
February 25, 2008
Is 8 Postcards from the Edge? And I still haven’t remembered 6. Gah!
February 25, 2008
7. It’s A Wonderful Life
10. Annie Hall
and is 12 Goodfellas?
Still working on the others….
February 25, 2008
Is number 3 When Harry Met Sally?
February 25, 2008
3: When Harry Met Sally
would you like to partake of my pecan pie???
February 25, 2008
well done everyone!
& Keris, you definitely know 6! x
February 25, 2008
Six is Love Story, of course!
February 26, 2008
Is Thelma & Louise in there? or maybe Bridget Jones Diary?
February 26, 2008
Sorry Suz, it’s not - it’s a bit of a trick! (A real quote, but from a scene that’s making fun of Love Story - see the 2nd part of the quote…?)
One of those is in there, Pom! :)
February 26, 2008
I thought the second half was your commentary, Di!
Haven’t a clue…
February 26, 2008
LOL, no, no commentaries, just quotes! And these are all films I *really* like :)
February 27, 2008
Think I may have just twigged Thelma and Louise but can’t say it now ..
February 27, 2008
You can if you can guess a number :)
February 27, 2008
14?
February 27, 2008
‘Fraid not! (They didn’t sit around writing letters and having dreams…)
February 27, 2008
Is no 2 Thelma & Louise? Sounds like something one of them might say!
February 27, 2008
Ok a girlie weepie has to be THE girlie weepie of all time, Beaches??? Let me look at quotes that may fit that! Erm… 9 or 14??
February 27, 2008
They did, though, before they set off! (isn’t that why they set off?) And one of the husbands had been a bit of a romantic, in the dim/distant past too.
February 27, 2008
2?
February 27, 2008
Thelma & Louise - No 13…?
February 28, 2008
Yes, Peepo, Louise’s boyfriend (they weren’t married) tried to be a bit of a romantic, but really she was far too good for him - he was a bit hopeless and had a v aggressive streak.
But nobody wrote any letters - they spoke on the phone and/or met up in person… x
February 28, 2008
6, Sleepless in seattle???
9, sounds like a Hugh Grant quote, not sure which
February 28, 2008
Yay! x
February 28, 2008
Look, who was the film studies student?! (I’m sure there were some letters… ) I guessed 2 right anyway but was pipped to the post by *tm* lady…
February 28, 2008
I don’t know Peepo, who was that…? ;)
Well 9 is an Englishman Jas, I’ll give you that!
6 is a lot older than Sleepless in Seattle, though…
February 28, 2008
No. 6 is causing a lot of problems!
And I still don’t know the other Audrey one!
February 28, 2008
bringing up baby?
February 29, 2008
Another go then:
13 sounds like Woody Allen, presume he means a ‘gun’. Can’t remember why he would want a gun……
I am HOPELESS!
February 29, 2008
No, sorry Peepo - but 2 of the stars are in 2 of the remaining films… Oh, I’m almost giving them away, now!
Jas, you’re right, it is a Woody Allen film, I’ll give you half a point! See - not hopeless at all :)
February 29, 2008
Adam’s Rib?
February 29, 2008
Which number?
February 29, 2008
11
February 29, 2008
FINALLY!
February 29, 2008
Phew!
February 29, 2008
Now I’m thinking girl interrupted?
February 29, 2008
Keep thinking! ;)
*hugs*
February 29, 2008
The last one has to be Clueless, surely?
February 29, 2008
Ooh, and the first one is Manhattan and the next one is Love Story. I adore that movie.
February 29, 2008
D’oh. Not Love Story but what’s up Doc, which I like a bit less, tbh.
March 1, 2008
Well done, Sally! Top marks to you :)
March 3, 2008
Can I have Charade, No. 9? (It is a BIG cheek, I know!)
March 3, 2008
It is a bit cheeky considering
a. I told you the answer and
b. we watched it yesterday!
You are right, though. x
March 3, 2008
Well, am I allowed to say No. 13 then?
