Filched from Alison at Party of 3<\/a>, the movie quote meme.
\n
\nThe rules:<\/p>\n

* Pick 10 (or so) of your favorite movies.
\n* Find, remember, or look up a quote from each movie.
\n* Post them here for everyone to guess.
\n* Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
\n* NO googling or cheating by doing an online search. Cheaters never prosper.
\n* Share the fun and only guess one movie.<\/em>
\n
\nEdited to add:<\/strong> They’re all outed, but this was so much fun we’ll play again soon! I can’t believe it took less than 24 hours to get them all! Let me know if you do the meme so I can play along, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You just got lesson number one: don’t think; it can only hurt the ball club.<\/s> Kate <\/a>guessed it! Bull Durham<\/em>, best sports movie evah!<\/li>\n
  2. \nYou know, there’s a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don’t all bring you lasagna at work. Most of ’em just cheat on you.<\/s> Natasha and Reluctant Housewife<\/a> guessed it: Clerks<\/em>. As Natasha notes, it’s Silent Bob’s only line in the whole movie. <\/li>\n
  3. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End. <\/s> Mad Hatter<\/a> guessed it: Moulin Rouge!<\/em> Although after calling one of my all-time fave movies “wretched” I may have to reassess my endless affection and admiration for her.\n<\/li>\n
  4. It also left a man’s decapitated body lying on the floor next to his own severed head. The head, which of this time, has no name.<\/s> Trixie guessed it: Highlander<\/em>! We considered naming Lucas “Connor McLeod”, partly because McLeod is my granny’s maiden name and partly for the geeky insider’s joke! <\/li>\n
  5. Bye-bye boys. Have fun storming the castle!<\/s> Madeleine guessed it: The Princess Bride<\/em>, of course.<\/li>\n
  6. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I’d still have to bum rides off people. <\/s> Liz<\/a>, Kerry<\/a>, Renee <\/a>and Anne guessed it: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.<\/em> It was the first “boy drives to your house, picks you up and takes you to a movie, then takes you to a park to make out afterward” date I ever went on!\n<\/li>\n
  7. Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I’m being repressed! <\/s>Miche <\/a>guessed it: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.<\/em> Are there any movies more quotable than Monty Python? It was so hard to choose!<\/li>\n
  8. It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. <\/s> Mama V guessed it: LOTR – Fellowship of the Ring<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  9. That ain’t no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can’t be un-did, homeskillet.<\/s> jo(e) guessed it: Juno<\/em>! (Great movie!! I saw it when I was waiting for Lucas to arrive, one Tuesday morning all by myself in the theatre. It was actually my second attempt at seeing the movie; the first time, I lost my mucous plug in the cinema washroom between buying my popcorn and the start of the movie, and left the theatre in a fit of optimism in thinking the baby was on the way — about three weeks before he actually did arrive.) <\/li>\n
  10. I can’t fire them. I hired these guys for three days a week and they just started showing up every day. That was four years ago. <\/s>Chrissey, B&P<\/a>, Suze <\/a>and Rebecca <\/a>guessed it: High Fidelity<\/em>. The intersection of Nick Hornby and John Cusack — does it get any better than that?<\/li>\n
  11. You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library. <\/s> Erin guessed it: Good Will Hunting<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  12. Naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm, and a two-foot salami under the other. The bartender says, I guess you won’t be needing a drink. Naked lady says…OH SHIT!!<\/s>Liz <\/a>and Anne guessed it: The Breakfast Club<\/em>!<\/li>\n
  13. I have no thought at all about my own reward, I really didn’t come here on my own accord. Just don’t say I’m damned for all time.<\/s>NoMoEarth<\/a> and Reluctant Housewife<\/a> guessed it: Jesus Christ Superstar!<\/em> Props for getting an obscure one! My mother used to listen to this soundtrack when she cleaned the house, and I had the whole thing memorized by the time I was ten years old.<\/li>\n
  14. It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. <\/s> Nancy<\/a>, Kerry <\/a>and Karen <\/a>guessed it: The Blues Brothers!<\/li>\n
  15. All the ways you wish you could be, that’s me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not. <\/s> kgirl <\/a>guessed it: Fight Club<\/em>. I don’t know why I love this movie so much, but I really do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    FWIW, all of these quotes are from movies I own or intend to acquire. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
