quote:I'm horribly sick this weekend, so I have only been listening to it over the internet, courtesy of my darling roommates.
That's from Katharina in the General Assembly thread. Don't you all feel great for being mean with her for not posting in this silly game? [/guilt off]

Absolutely no excuse for not continuing this thread with a new set of movie quotes. If President Hinckley can speak at conference while he is sick (and he has) Katharina can summon the energy to type a few key strokes for OUR benefit! GEEZ!

Shoot! Now I'm gonna be on my lunch break when the list posts and all the good ones will be taken. Drat!

Here's the list. Rules for this round: Only three quotes per three hours, to take away some of the early advantage. The movies cross all time spans, continents, and genres.
Change in rules: Since this is apparently a tough list, googling to confirm is fine, but not to discover in the first place. On your honor, all that. If it gets really hard, I'll post other quotes from the same movies as hints.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.
1. There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin' things, lacy things, things with curly hair. Night of the Hunter
2. You have a point. An idiotic one, but a point. ---- Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men.
3. I made him, I built him. And no Boy Scout is going to come in here and take it away from me, just because he happens to be Vice President of the United States. Dave
4. Just because I wear a uniform doesn't make me a girl scout. --- Ya know, you see a girl a couple of times a week, just for laughs, and right away they think you're gonna divorce your wife. Now I ask you, is that fair?
5. Wow, what a speech! Half Moses, half Mickey Mouse.
6. To look at a thing is quite different from seeing a thing, and one does not see anything until one sees its beauty. ---- My dear father, if we men married the women we deserved... we should have a very bad time of it.
7. I'm sorry that us models made you feel bad about yourself and throw up. --- Wait a minute. I might just have an idea. They'll be looking for us at Maury's right? But they won't be looking for... not us. Zoolander
8. I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you.
9. And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun. Romeo and Juliet
10. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't. --- She could use some mascara and some serious highlights, but she's not completely unfortunate looking. Legally Blonde
11. Everything you have seen here has been an illusion. The Illusionist I just threw this quote in because I thought it was funny. And because I want people to go and see this movie - it was wonderful.
12. I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies. The Godfather II
13. This is the Voice of Doom calling. Your days are numbered, to the seventh son of the seventh son. ----- Oh, that's the first sane remark I've heard today. C'malong, Dexter, I know a formula that's said to pop the pennies off the eyelids of dead Irishmen. The Philadelphia Story
14. You know the problem with being smart? You always know what will happen next. It ruins the suspense.
15. Just another piece of crap movie in which the two protagonists finally confess their feelings for each other in an ending scene outside during a thunderstorm. Why is it that people in movies like to stand around and talk in the rain? ----- He's hearing the voice of God through a crossword puzzle! Lady in the Water
16. Look man, I'm telling you right off the bat I'm high maintenance. So I'm not gonna tip-toe around your marriage or whatever it is ya got goin' on there. If you wanna be with me, you're with me.
17. I'm going to be a great film star! That is, if booze and sex don't get me first.
18. Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable, and the one thing of which I have never,ever been guilty of. A Streetcar Named Desire I love this quote, because the subtext is that she has been guilty of many, many other things. But, not deliberate cruelty. No matter what else she's done, in her eyes that sets her apart as a lady from the beast in front of her. It's so poignant.
19. Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises of its own values. Munich
20. Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it! The Wizard of Oz

Aw, it's up now. I think this list is hard enough that the winner won't be the person who saw it first anyway. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

4. Tennis racket in the kitchen, because there's spaghetti for dinner tonight.
5. The movie is French and in French. The quote is a translation. Great movie.
14. Turn around...every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming 'round...Turn around...every now and then I get a little tired of listening to the sound of my tears...
17. The star won an Oscar for this for the only good movie role of her entire film career.
18. "I've always been dependant on the kindness of strangers."
19. Said by Gilda Meier.

Great. Thanks a lot. That song gets stuck in my head for weeks, sometimes months, at a time. And now it is firmly lodged in there.

So now my three hours are up I'm going to guess (again) that #16 is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

Hmm...if you didn't know it yourself, I don't asking friends counts. More hints, I think.
#4: "Night like this, it sorta spooks you, walking into an empty apartment. " "I said I had no family; I didn't say I had an empty apartment."
#5: Jeez, still can't think of a good hint. How about a plot summary: After a riot in the slums of Paris, a policeman loses his gun (Ha! This part is hilarious to Americans - that that would be a plot point.) The story follows three young men on the prowl, and the tension comes from where the gun may be and how it will be used once it is found. It explores racial tensions, power disparities, and the struggle to leave that behind in search of a safe life, and what loyalty means. Really great movie. Awful language, though, and since it's subtitled it seems even worse.
#17: Best Picture in 1972, beating The GodfatherPosts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

#4: Won Best Picture in 1960, and was the last black and white movie to win best picture until Schindler's List
"You hear what I said, Miss Kubelik? I absolutely adore you." "Shut up and deal."
#5: Oh, no one is going to get this. It's La Haine (Hate).
---- Dang it, you're right. Godfather won Best Picture, Actor (BRANDO!!), and screenplay, but Cabaret won everything else.

I concede, and I think I'm the only one able to catch SenojRetep, so I guess you should start compiling your list, Senoj.

Rules for the round: 3 pts/1 hour (waiting three hours almost killed me the other day), asking friends is fine, you can use the internet to verify, but remember, this is for posterity, so please, be honest.
1) -What's wrong with your face? -I have AIDS. Philadelphia
2) -Went away? "I dwell in darkness without you," and it "went away"? - Yeah. Willow
3) -Now, ask what the Great Conjunction is, what's the Great Conjunction? -What's the Great Conjunction? You tell me! - THE GREAT CONJUNCTION IS THE END OF THE WORLD! Or the beginning. Hm! The Dark Crystal
4) "Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact." Best in Show
5) "Oh, wouldn't it be great if I *was* crazy? Then the world would be okay." 12 Monkeys
6) "Impudent piece of crockery." Sword in the Stone
7) "Ahoy, and other nautical expressions!" Alice in Wonderland

9) -Oh, no... it's just I thought you had hidden depths. - No, no, you've always had that wrong about me. I really am this shallow. About a Boy
10) "You broke your little ships." Star Trek: First Contact
11) "Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store. And you must think you're in a toy store, because you're here shopping for an infant named Jeb." Unbreakable
12) "Sometimes it's a good day to die, and sometimes it's a good day to have breakfast." Smoke Signals
13) -So tell me again why I can't call him on his cell again? -Besides that he turned it off? -Yeah. -Forty messages starts to look needy. Spanglish
14) Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous! The Truman Show

21) "Look, I made a hat where there never was a hat." Sunday in the Park with George
