I thought this looked like fun - especially if everyone can guess correctly.
The Rules:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
4. I'll post the answer and the correct guesser too in a few days.
And when the guessing begins - PLEASE do not cheat by looking these quotes up via google, etc. GOOD LUCK!!
And so - 10 of my favorite movies:
1 - I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be smuggling myself in them. This is ridiculous.
2 - I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.
3 - Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of the night Michael, just like out of a comic book! You're a vampire Michael! My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!
4 - They don't advertise for killers in the newspaper. That was my profession.
5 - The eel doesn't get her. I'm explaining to you because you look nervous.
6 - The carriage? No indeed! You must go on horseback for it looks like rain. Then you will have to stay the night!
7 - I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door. I never doubted that. Something made it inevitable. So, what are you doing here in Nepal?
8 - I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
9 - Where's that money, you silly stupid old fool? Where's that money? Do you realize what this means? It means bankruptcy and scandal and prison. That's what it means. One of us is going to jail - well, it's not gonna be me.
10 - I don't want to possess you! I wish to marry you because I love you!
Well, just goes to show how much tv I watch! Or indeed how much of it actually sinks in when I do watch it! I could not guess a single one, but the vampire one might be Buffy? I really do not know.

All the ones I knew have already been outed. #10 sounds like one I would like, though!
Posted by: Sandy | April 08, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Wow do I suck at these....or you have weird taste in movies :o) The only one that kind of looked familiar was #8 and I'm guessing that was from When Harry met Sally. But I see it's already been picked.
Posted by: Joy T. | April 08, 2008 at 02:29 PM
I thought #8 was Jerry McGuire or Harry Ment Sally. I don't recognize the others.

When Harry Met Sally is my all-time favorite movie!!! Seeing that line made me happy.
Here are others I recognize without looking at other comments or googling or imdb'ing them:
4--maybe Gross Pointe Blank
5--Princess Bride
6--Pride and Prejudice
8--ahh, here's my fave. When Harry Met Sally
That's all I know, and even some of these are guesses.
