A meme I found at [livejournal.com profile] xbittersweet89x´s:

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to the IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling/using IMDb search functions.


Let the movie discusion begin. These are some of my all-time-favorites.

1. "I know better than to argue romance with a French woman."

2. "The French are glad to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives... and gives expensive... jewels." guessed by [livejournal.com profile] triedunture. The overall awesome Moulin Rouge! There´s another Ewan McGregor hidden in here!

2. "You don't have lucky underwear." guessd by [livejournal.com profile] triedunture. Stuart Little.

3. " It's called a pot-belly, Andrew. We have those in England, along with culture." guessed by [livejournal.com profile] benjimmy. The bunch of actors I enjoy the most these days in Peter´s Friends.

4. ""More human than human" is our motto."
guessed, like, ten seconds after I posted this by [livejournal.com profile] lf2871 It´s Bladerunner.

5. "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving." And featured in my B.A. thesis about Joseph Conrad Apocalypse Now! guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mxdp.

6. "Unfortunately, THIS guitar said, 'When I get back to Georgia, that woman gonna feel my pain.' THIS one said something along the lines of, 'Why yes, these pants ARE lycra.' THESE said, 'I'm very sensitive, very caring, and I have absolutely no idea how to play the guitar.'" guessed by [livejournal.com profile] muhsilisk.

7. "The trouble with being the Prime Minister's sister is it does put your life into rather harsh perspective. What did my brother do today? He stood up and fought for his country. And what did I do? I made a papier maché lobster head. " guessed by [livejournal.com profile] sorion. It´s Love Actually.

8. "I've got a new theory about marriage. Two people are in love, they live together, and then suddenly one day, they run out of conversation." Four Weddings and a Funeral guessed by [livejournal.com profile] mxdp.

9. "Yeah, well I've got some sperm up my arse and it's dying!" guessed by [livejournal.com profile] sorion who is probably just tired and a head-scratching [livejournal.com profile] sexy_severus. And also [livejournal.com profile] benjimmy. It´s Maybe Baby. Gosh! You´re all obsessed with this actor, you know that, right?

10."We threw out the censor-approved script and shot a new one that I wrote this morning." guessed by [livejournal.com profile] muhsilisk.


A breakthrough: I´m at 1000 words with mit [livejournal.com profile] get_house_laid-prompt. It feels really good! Any native speaker on my f-list who would like to give it a beta look once it´s finished?

And last but definitely not least a thought I found at [livejournal.com profile] triedunture:

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

4) Bladerunner - which I adore BTW.

I'll gladly take a look at the story for you, but I must warn my gramour isn't the best. It's always another pair of eyes though.

Yes, isn´t that movie simply amazing?! So many levels of clever I just couldn´t compute the first time I saw it.

9. "Yeah, well I've got some sperm up my arse and it's dying!"

I'm sure that this line is from 'Maybe Baby' *scratches head*

No scratching required--correct! That was an easy one, right?
Your icon is so cute...

I'm not obsessed with Hugh Laurie! Not right now because I got another addiction, named Black Jack *points at icon*

Thank you! You are the first one who doesn't thinks that this icon is crappy. *cuddles Icon*

Interestingly enough, I only recognize 7 and 9... I don't think we have the same taste in movies ^_~ Or maybe I'm just tired ^-^'''

Love Actually and Maybe Baby.

Oh you know, some quotes are not very prominent ones. But it´s true that there´s no film with Robert Sean Leonard in this list. But honestly noone can expect from me to pick TEN favorite movies. That´s just ridiculous. I have, like, 200.

2 is Moulin Rouge. The second 2 is Stuart Little, which I just saw for the first time yesterday.

*g* I picked eleven... that just proves that it´s positively impossible to pick ten favorite movies. There´s always one more, or three or....
You didn´t recognise the ones with our pal Stephen Fry?

Doesn´t Hugh Laurie cut a brilliant figure as Mr. Little? I love the kidsflicks he´s in.

From: [identity profile] triedunture.livejournal.com
Yes, several lines looked familiar as Fry flicks, but I couldn't say for sure which was which...I still have so many to get through on Netflix, and I didn't want to look like a Bad Fan! :)

Hugh is ADORABLE as Mr Little. I was watching some sort of interview with him, I don't remember where, and he said that at the end of one scene where he was supposed to be speaking to "Stuart" in his hand, the director called cut and he unthinkingly knelt down to let Stuart off his hand! So cute!

From: [identity profile] cadeira.livejournal.com
Aww. I saw that interview too. It´s things like this convincing me that he´s an utterly decent chap.

# 3 is Peter's Friends and # 9 is Maybe Baby.

From: [identity profile] cadeira.livejournal.com
Check and check!
#9 was definitely too easy for the Hugh-obsessed folk around here!

Oh, oh I know TWO THAT HAVEN'T BEEN GUESSED YET!
5. (Not ENTIRLY sure however) Apocalypse Now
8. Four Weddings and a Funeral

*crosses fingers*
I think I'm gonna use this meme too (if I may?^^)

From: [identity profile] cadeira.livejournal.com
I say! You´re absolutely right!
Oh and I´d love to see you taking these meme! I´m so bad with guessing though because in Germany movies are always shown synchronised... it´s only been a year or so that I watch stuff in English.

Woot!
I'll get on it straight away-needed a break afterall. Oh, squee,this is gonna be fun!
...And you fell in love with the beauty that is the English language? :D Non dubbed movies are always better. And Germany? We're neighbours! *is from Belgium*
Oh, and much, much love to that icon! <3

Oh I fell in love with languages when I was in first class--it didn´t take that long for the English language to cast its spell over me.
*waves to neighbour* That´s nice. I live in Krefeld--so close to the Netherlands; about an hour from Aix-la-Chapelle.

Same here. I wanted to follow English at the university but for some obscure reason I got stuck in Archaeology / History of Arts. Ah, well. ^^

*waves back*I live in Bruxelles but I'm moving out next week, to Antwerp. So we'll even be closer neighbours, I guess. ;D

Oh hi Indy, [ / unqualified attempt of a joke ]
I´ve been to Antwerp some time ago and it´s a BEAUTIFUL city! Moving can be so messy--hope it´s not too stressful for you.

Lol. That was about the first thing the professor said-he showed a pic of Indy and everyone went "Oh!Yay, Indyyyyy He rockkkks with rocks!*LOLOLOLWESOGEEKY*"
And then he proceded by saying. "This is not archaeology. This WAS aerchaeology.Though luck people, you were born too late."
Everyone: D: D: D:
And then he added: "Oh, and for the dumbo's here, if it's dino's you're looking for, they are in the other class. It's called paleontology. Get lost. *50% of class hurries to leave*
Everyone else: D: D: D:

Ok. I might have overreacted. The professor is actually really sweet. rofl. He'd make a good Indy.

Well, got exams so fuck moving. Stress is all around. D:

:D

I'm late for this, I just came home and my mother won't stop talking to me, but I know some of these.


6) Stranger than Fiction! =D

10) I read this somewhere on an IMDB quotes page. I think it was V for Vendetta. (It doesn't count as using IMDB when I read it months ago, does it?)
