My favorite movies

[lumineaux]

These are quotes from some of my favorite movies of all time.  Can you identify them?  (Yes, if you know me and my tastes in movies, many of these will be easy).

1. Sometimes I have wondered whether life wouldn't be much more amusing if we were all devils, no nonsense about angels and being good.   -- The Bride of Frankenstein  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026138/

 

 

2.  Him: I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune.

      Her: I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.

      Him: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.
-- The Thin Man   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025878/

 

 

3.  In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.   -- Laura  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037008/

 
 

4.  I'll admit I may have seen better days, but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, like a salted peanut.  -- All About Eve http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042192/

 

5.   Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar. -- Gone With The Wind 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031381/

6.   Mind? You bring a posse to my best hideout and you ask me if I mind? -- Silverado  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090022/
 
 

7.   Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement.  -- A Fish Called Wanda   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095159/

 
 

8.  A thousand innocent people get killed every day! But a millionaire's pet gets detonated, and you're marked for life. -- Grosse Point Blank  
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119229/
 

9.  An effete British superhero, to be precise.  -- Mystery Men  
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132347/ 

  

10.  So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?”  -- Zoolander  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196229/


Extra credit:  Please doctor, I've got to ask this. It sounds like, well, just as though you're describing some form of super carrot.  -- The Thing From Another World   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/

[oaken-glen.livejournal.com]

#5 is one of my favorites..."Gone with the Wind"

#4 I believe is from "All About Eve"

[lumineaux.livejournal.com]

Gone With The Wind is my all time favorite movie, despite its historical innacuracies, underlying racial bias, and other flaws. There's something abouve Vivian as Scarlett that just transcends all the other problems with the movie.

[zelina.livejournal.com]

Agreed
