Movie Quote Meme
Think of 15 of your favorite movies, go to IMDB and find quotes for each. Post the quotes. When someone guesses the movie, add the movie name and the person who got it right. (No fair using IMDB to find the answer)
- These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.(The Shawshank Redemption - Gillian)
- DS: Well, the real reason that you've been sent over here is because they wanted you to be evaluated... to determine whether or not you are mentally ill. This is the real reason. Why do you think they might think that?
RM: Well, as near as I can figure out, it's 'cause I, uh, fight and f**k too much. (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Carol) - ...you don't have bones of glass. You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance pass, eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton. So, go get him, for Pete's sake! (Amelie - Sarah W)
- I'm old... I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel... thin. Sort of stretched, like... butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to. (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Gillian)
- You're a thirty-year-old kid. Soon you'll be a fifty-year-old kid. Pretendin' you're hearin' cheers when there ain't any. Dreamin' and drinkin' your life away. Heroes in the real world live twenty-four hours a day, not just two hours in a game. Mendacity! You won't... You won't live with mendacity? Well, you're an expert at it! The truth is pain and sweat and payin' bills and makin' love to a woman that you don't love any more. Truth is dreams that don't come true, and nobody prints your name in the paper 'til you die. (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - Jon)
- This is a $4,000 sofa, upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch. (American Beauty - Alistair)
- JR: Oh, no. Where's R?
EV: R?. He chickened out on me back at the studio.
JR: No he didn't. I hit him in the head with a frying pan and put him in the trunk... so he wouldn't get hurt.
EV: Makes perfect sense. (Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Tara) - I've always thought a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit you immensely.(Gone With the Wind - Carol)
- C: Why can't I have a normal boyfriend? Just a regular boyfriend, one that doesn't go nuts on me!
B: Everybody wants that, dear. It doesn't exist. (As Good As It Gets - Sarah W) - What's the décor? Early Mexican brothel? (Chocolat - Carol)
- I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people? (Office Space - Gillian)
- Will you look at that! Look how she moves! It's like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex! (Some Like It Hot - Carol)
- IT: I can't believe he swore on the Bible!
R: Well, if that judge had looked any closer, he'd have seen that it was a copy of Moby Dick. (Fried Green Tomatoes - Jami) - I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style. [pause] Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever. (The Replacements - Jon)
- Father Brian: I keep thinking about what you said in seminary, that the life of a priest is hard and if you can see yourself being happy doing anything else you should do that.
Father Havel: That was my recruitment pitch, which is not bad when you're starting out because it makes you feel like a marine. The truth is you can never tell yourself there is only one thing you could be. If you are a priest or if you marry a woman it's the same challenge. You cannot make a real commitment unless you accept that it's a choice that you keep making again and again and again. (Keeping the Faith - Alistair)

Every word is part of a picture. Every sentence is a picture. All you do, is let your imagination connect them together. If you have an imagination that is.
