Alright, I’m not normally one for memes, but I am one for movie quotes (as are many, many of my friends), and when I saw this post over at Pardon the Egg Salad, I decided to jump on board.
The rules:
- Pick 10 (or so) of your favorite movies.
- Find, remember, or look up a quote from each movie.
- Post them here for everyone to guess.
- Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
- NO googling or cheating by doing an online search. Cheaters never prosper.
- Commenters should share the fun and only guess one movie (on the first try — if you come back and you know one that still hasn’t been chosen, knock yourself out).
Ready?
1. I’m sure there’s nothing I do that you’d find exciting. I don’t open beer bottles with my toes, I don’t sit around and count what’s left of my teeth, hey, I don’t even enjoy a good tractor pull. It’s been a limited existence, but I’ve gotten used to it. lizteubner got this one — it’s “The Cutting Edge.” And oh, you guys, I have so many other quotes from this movie. Probably because, well, I can pretty much recite it from start to end.
2. It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage. Thank you, Lorra! Yes, It’s “Indiana Jones” — Raiders, if we’re being specific.
3. I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, … but I am proud of what I am. I… am a librarian. It’s “The Mummy,” as velocibadgergirl so keenly guessed.
4. I have two guns, one for each of ya. Kerrianne got it — Tombstone. I’m your Huckleberry. (This is another one I can pretty much do start to finish. Why I find a man with TB so damn hot is beyond me. Why oh WHY did Val Kilmer have to Brando?)
5. This job would be great if it wasn’t for the fucking customers. I figured my husband would know this one. We’ve watched it enough times! Good job on guessing “Clerks,” Jared.
6. I feel like such a heifer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&M’s and like 3 pieces of licorice. As Home Sweet Sarah knew without a doubt, it’s “Clueless.”
7. I’m not a witch, I’m your wife! Megan is right — it’s “The Princess Bride.” And also a quote I use on Jared ALL THE TIME.
8. I don’t know what’s scarier, neurotic cheerleaders or the pressure to win. I could make a killing selling something like Diet Prozac. It’s “Bring It On.” Thanks, Maggie!
9. “You learned English?” “Just in cases.” Kristin got this one right — it’s “Love, Actually.” One of my favorite movies, too!
10. At your age, you’re going to have a lot of urges. You’re going to want to take off your clothes, and touch each other. But if you do touch each other, you *will* get chlamydia… and die. That’s no word vomit — Emily, you’re correct. It’s “Mean Girls!”

9. Love Actually is “our movie.” I had God Only Knows played as our recessional in our wedding!

Is #2 from Bull Durham? I think I can hear Annie Savoy saying that.

No, but that’s another good, quotable movie. I might have to make this a monthly thing!

[…] girl Kristen posted this earlier today and because I basically live for movie quotes, I thought I'd shamelessly steal it for my own blog. […]

Visiting via Home Sweet Sarah, and I have to say that I love (movies and movie quotes, yes! and) this meme.
Also: The Mummy is one of my all-time favorite movies, and it makes me endlessly happy whenever I find someone who loves it as much as I do.
Also: #4 is Tombstone. Oh how I love you, Doc Holiday.
