2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.

I mean . . . the book isn't like that, and life isn't like that. You know, it just isn't. And . . . I feel very strongly about this." ADAPTATION, as pointed out by infinitehotel

#6 is Raiders of the Lost Ark, right? :)

[livia-llewellyn.livejournal.com]

NOOOO!!! I was so close to being first! Damn you!!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Heh. Seconds too late!

[livia-llewellyn.livejournal.com]

You dare laugh? Oh, my friend, so many valentines are coming your way. So many....

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it's NOT AT ALL funny.

It's not too late to identify something else!

[stephanieburgis.livejournal.com]

Sorry. ;)

[snurri.livejournal.com]

You got it.

[livia-llewellyn.livejournal.com]

I don't need no stinkin' Google, I know this movie like the back of my hand: #6 is Marion in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

[ilovehpl.livejournal.com]

OOO OOO OOO!

#4, LA Confidential!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Word. You got it.

[infinitehotel.livejournal.com]

#13 is Princess Bride
#11 is Lady in the Water
#15 is Adaptation
#9 is Say Anything

And damn it, I saw #1 but the name is stuck. It'll jolt me awake some time after midnight and I will curse the name Schwartz.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Right on all but #11; I've never even seen that movie.

[infinitehotel.livejournal.com]

Aha! #1 is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Bingo!

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

10-- Lost in Translation?

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

3. Hellboy for sure.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Right again.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[veejane.livejournal.com]

5. "Have you got a cop called Vodka?"

I bet this is from Hard-Boiled, which is kinda unfair, inasmuch as it's line in translation. (Also, your icon usage gives you away!)

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Right on all counts :-) I thought about the translation issue, but in the end I decided I didn't care and included three foreign flicks anyway.

[veejane.livejournal.com]

And come to think, #7 sounds like Rushmore.

I don't know about the other foreign films.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Right again!

[mrdankelly.livejournal.com]

#11 is Eli Cash in Royal Tenenbaums

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

#12: Evil Dead?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Um, the judges want you to be more specific.

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Doh! Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yes!

And THANK GOD someone finally got that one. I'm disappointed in everyone who is not you. I can't be the only one who's seen that movie five hundred times.

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Heh. I love those movies! I might be the only one who still has ED2 on laserdisc--it's blood red! Some guy made a video about it though, so he probably still has his. Why do people make these videos?

[mastadge.livejournal.com]

#2 is Dog Day Afternoon.

#14 is Wings of Desire, which I only just saw for the first time.

the other that hasn't been said sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

You are correct, Sir!

[o-kiki.livejournal.com]

#8: Pan’s Labyrinth.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yes! Dingdingdingdingdingdingding! :-)

[o-kiki.livejournal.com]

TWO Guillermo del Torro movies on the list! Awesome. Have you seen The Orphanage? Sadly, I have not. Looooved Pan's Labyrith. One of the most beautiful movies I've seen in a long time.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Yes: he is a fave of mine. I have not seen The Orphanage as yet, and may not until it's out on DVD. But yeah: Pan's Labyrinth blew my mind.

[(Anonymous)]

In the scene where they are viewing the Yoyodyne "yellow file" showing photo ID's of all the "John's"... is John Parrot John Cleese? It looks like him to me, but I wanted to find others who have seen this recently and might know what I'm talking about here....

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Not that I've noticed . . .
