Movies.....

.... Hell hath frozen over, I'm afraid.... since I am about to do a dreaded meme.....

.... Elisson has tagged me - and since I am absolutely and completely without creative juices this afternoon, I'll play along..... here goes... according to Big E, here's the "drill"....

Here’s the drill: Look up 15 of your favorite movies on IMDB.

Take a quote from each and post them for your readership to properly identify.

As your movie-savvy readers correctly identify the quotes’ cinematic origins in the comments, strike out the quotes and name the commenter who answered correctly.

If the commenter also identifies the name of the speaker (the character or the actor), he or she gets bonus points in the form of a link to his or her site.
Simple, huh?

OK, let’s see what kind of Movie Buff you are. Oh, and no fair using IMDB or other Internet-related sources. It’s more fun if you try to figure these out from memory:

..... here you go, rubberneckers...... guess away.....

1. "Trouble? Eh, what trouble" Robert Redford - "Jeremiah Johnson" ... reader Leelu

2. "I'm trying to be a gentleman here. Now, get on your knees, put your ass in the air, and don't move until I say to." "The Two Jakes" - Bou from Boudicca's Voice...

3. "Why, by God, girl, that's a Colt's Dragoon! You're no bigger than a corn nubbin, what're you doing with all this pistol?" True Grit - John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn - Snuggharbor

4. "My darling girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe!" "The Mummy" - Sandy

5. "My dad wanted me to be a baseball player" "The Natural" - reader TBird....

6. "Jesus Palomino, a Nazi. I knew it, you're all in cahoots. Well let me tell you something, Mr. Heinie Kraut, I fought your kind in the great war, and we kicked the living shit out of you!" "1941" - Captain SQL!...

7. "I can't stand these things... it's like drinking coffee through a veil." "Charade" - Teresa of Technicalities...

8. "You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it." "Key Largo" Jean from Beauvoir Glass....

9. "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges." "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" - Primordial Slack

10. "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." "Harvey"..... Beauvoir Glass....

11. "What the hell do you mean "cowardly blacks?" They died on your side, didn't they? And who the hell do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The Grenadier Guards?" "Zulu" - Hoosierboy

12. "Then he showed those men of will what will really was." "The Usual Suspects" - Reader Tommy

13. "All your life you live so close to truth it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by a grotesque." "Rosencrantz And Gildenstern Are Dead" - The Bitterman from The Smoking Toaster...

14. "With a bit of a mind flip." "Rocky Horror Picture Show" - Eric from YouBitch!...

15. "Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend." "The Unforgiven".... Joe, Mr. Beerbrains....

.... good luck, hammerheads!....

And 9, Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

Bullshitted by Joan of Argghh! on March 14, 2008 08:43 PM

I see that I got 2 wrong, as did GuyS. But I got No. 9 right. Batting .500.

10. Jimmy Stewart in 'Harvey'.

Bullshitted by Jean on March 14, 2008 08:55 PM

6 = Slim Pickens in 1941

8 = Humphrey Bogart in Key Largo

10 = Dan Ackroyd in The Blues Brothers

8. Humphrey Bogart in Key Largo.

Bullshitted by Jean on March 14, 2008 08:59 PM

Can't believe nobody's gotten Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. No. 15.

And I know Jean's got Harvey right.

There's a couple that I'm thinking on, but I can't figure out where they are from... most, I'm lost.

Joan, that you did on #9 (though Blazing Saddles *did* a take off on that line.) ... I knew there was a "real" movie for it, but for the life of me couldn't remember what it was, so went with the Mel (When in doubt,always go with the Mel!).

Bullshitted by Guy S on March 14, 2008 09:28 PM

#2... I can't believe I know one of these as I so suck... but, The Two Jakes. Jack Nicholson's character. Obviously his name is... Jake. Heh.

sodomy non sapiens about the rest, though.
