I'm horrible at recognizing movie quotes, but I know #12 is Moulin Rouge.

5 - Spinal Tap!

*whacking head against hard, flat object to dislodge answers to 2, 4 and 15*

[purpura.livejournal.com]

3. Guys and Dolls

5. Spinal Tap

I know a few more, but they've already been taken.
I must ponder a few more, for I know I know them!

[purpura.livejournal.com]

4. Jurassic Park, baby!

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

Wrong Jeff Goldblum movie. Right general direction, though.

[purpura.livejournal.com]

D'oh!
Independance Day!!!
When they're in the space ship.

Thought process:Well, it's not Earth Girls are Easy... What other...hmmm, Jeff Goldblum in space AH! ID4!!!

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

The Fly.

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

No no...it was Independence Day. Shouldn't have doubted myself.

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

well keep whacking, no one's gotten 2 or 15 yet, and I'm pretty sure no one's gonna right away.

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

I cheated for 2, and it's been so long since I've seen it I'm sure I would not have remembered.
Still pondering 15, tho.

[lostcircuit.livejournal.com]

2 - Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead - very memorable line if you saw it earlier this week ;)

[extrajoker.livejournal.com]

6) Gross Pointe Blank

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Dammit, don't post your answers before I get a chance to guess! ME ME ME!

1. The King & I.
10. O Brother, Where Art Thou? I KNEW THIS EVEN BEFORE I READ THE ANSWER, OKAY?
14. Willow DITTO #10
15. A Little Princess MY GOD I LOVE THAT BOOK SO MUCH but I have a violent hatred of the movie and if I weren't the Human VCR I'd have blocked it from my memory but as it is I just have to use my memory of it in order to present evidence for how much they hurt me by butchering that beautiful book and how it is second only to Ella Enchanted on my own personal Fucked Up Movies Of Awesome Kids Books scale. *inhale*

... Sorry. I seem to have gotten a little sidetracked and vituperative. What was I saying again?

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

lol I believe you on 10 and 14, and intrestingly enough I feel exactly the opposite about A Little Princess. Hated... HATED the book, thought Cuaron actually salvaged it...

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

*grin* Funny how that works, en't it? I'd put up my dukes (I REALLY like the book) but eh, to each their own. Which did you experience first--book or movie? I read the book first and love it unconditionally. Still reread it every winter.

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

Oh, I read the book first. I read the Secret Garden, and loved it. Then I read a little princess and wanted to throw it out the window.

Incidentally I can't stand the Shirley temple version. But then again I have to be seriously sedated to sit through most Shirley Temple movies.

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Well, then, I'll just have to go with the assumption that you're just weird. ;) But I'll have to agree on the Shirley Temple comment.

On the other hand, I quite liked both book and movie versions of The Secret Garden. Although I have a tendency to start reciting the Tiny Toons version of The Raven, complete with Vincent Price voice and lisp, whenever Archibald Craven shows up on the screen ...

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

the Warner Bros one, I assume. and yeah *giggle* I can see that.

[anzovin.livejournal.com]

#9 must be from City of Lost Children

[extrajoker.livejournal.com]

I like both the movie and book versions of The Secret Garden.

While I haven't seen the Little Princess movie, I am not a fan of the book. I read the novella version, Sara Crewe, as a child, and I liked that well enough. As an adult, I read A Little Princess and was thoroughly unimpressed. There are a few beautiful images and nice turns of phrase...but Sara's just too much of a Mary Sue.

[extrajoker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was afraid I'd get the spelling wrong....I was tempted just to throw an "e" on the end of all three words for the hell of it...but too lazy to google/imdb for the correct spellings.

For the record, that's one of two I could name (the other being the previously identified Willow quote). And while #2 was familiar to me, I'd never have come up with the answer.

[lordaerith.livejournal.com]

When was that said in the movie? I don't remember that line at all, and I must have seen that movie over 20 times. Nor can I find that particular quote on the imdb page...

[extrajoker.livejournal.com]

It's said in a phone conversation, when Ms. Secretary Cusack is telling Mr. Hitman Cusack (Martin Blank?) about the thug who's been hired to kill him.

[lordaerith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remembered it shortly after posting. Took me a while, though. Thanks for the confirmation. I thought I was going to have to watch it again. Which I might do anyway...
