The Quote Game

After playing on Jodi and Ren's blogs, I decided to give this a try myself.

Here are the rules if you want to create a quiz yourself:

Pick fifteen of your favorite movies.

  • Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
  • Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
  • Fill in the film title once it’s guessed.

This part is for the contestant/blog reader:
  • No Googling or using IMDB search functions.
  • Leave your answer(s) in the comments.

NOTE: I'm going out of town in a few days, so if you don't answer quick, you won't get any feedback for a week or so most likely...

NOTE 2: My counting skills are off. Once I pasted them in there, I found I had sixteen. Sue me.

  1. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. [not El Mariachi - although I do like that movie] [Bladerunner - Jeff]

  2. The leading banker in Amsterdam is now the pastry chef in our kitchen.

  3. I have some rope up here, but I do not think you would accept my help, since I am only waiting around to kill you. [The Princess Bride - Rick]

  4. There's the television. It's all right there - all right there. Look, listen, kneel, pray. Commercials! We're not productive anymore. We don't make things anymore. It's all automated. What are we *for* then? We're consumers, Jim. Yeah. Okay, okay. Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen. But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, if you don't, what are you then, I ask you? What? Mentally *ill*. Fact, Jim, fact - if you don't buy things - toilet paper, new cars, computerized yo-yos, electrically-operated sexual devices, stereo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers...

  5. Say, Jim! Whoo! That's a bad outfit! Whoo! [Superman - Jeff]

  6. You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell. [Toy Story - Jodi]

  7. Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up.

  8. Forget the fat lady. You're Obsessed with fat lady. Just get us out of here! [Independence Day - Mark]

  9. Another one of them new worlds. No beer, no women, no pool parlors, nothin'. Nothin' to do but throw rocks at tin cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans. [Not Plan 9 From Outer Space] [Forbidden Planet - Rick]

  10. Bad karma, dear! [Valley Girl - Jeff]

  11. It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. [Raiders of the Lost Ark - Rick]

  12. That's a human ear all right.

  13. Little brown eel comes out of the cave... Swims into the hole... Comes out of the hole... Goes back into the cave again... [Jaws - Mark]

  14. Oh, it's probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdos.

  15. The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself".

  16. Spontaneity has its time and place. [The Sure Thing - Jeff]

I'm really bad at this!

#1 may be El Mariachi, but I'm not sure.

#6 is Toy Story.

That's it. I suck.

Rick said...

I know which movies you like, so I should have aced this thing. I didn't because I'm lame. I'm sure the answers will embarass me.

#3 is Princess Bride
#11 is Raiders of the Lost Ark (or one of those Indiana Jones movies)
#9 is from one of those old Sci-Fi movies...Plan 9?

Rick, you're close on #9, but think "Much better movie"

Jeff, way to go!

Mark said...

1 Bladerunner
3 Princess Bride
8 Independence Day? - I know it is a Jeff Goldbloom line but he kind of delivers his lines the same way in every movie he does.
10 Valley Girl
11 Raiders
13 Jaws

Rick said...

#9 Forbidden Planet (thanks for the clue).
And the actor I was thinking of is Earl Holliman.

Jeff Battle said...

#7 Night of the Comet?

I saw almost all of Forbidden Planet about a month ago but I don't remember that line.

ren said...
