A. Pick a bunch of movies you like.
B. Pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is (without Googling, you cheaters).
E. Italicize the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser’s username directly after the quote.

1.  Mystery Men: We've got a blind date with Destiny - and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.   [personal profile] math5

2.  Gone with the Wind: No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.  [profile] oaken_glen

3.  Double Indemnity: There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour.   [profile] oaken_glen

4.  Bride of Frankenstein: To a new world of gods and monsters!  [personal profile] math5

5.  Plan 9 From Outer Space: But one thing's sure. Inspector Clay is dead, murdered, and somebody's responsible.  [personal profile] math5

6.  Dracula: I never drink wine.  [profile] oaken_glen

7.   I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbor's children devoured by wolves.

8.  Bull Durham: A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains."   artisticphoenix

9.  The Untouchables:  Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight. [profile] oaken_glen

10.  Raiders of the Lost Ark: You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do.   [profile] oaken_glen

11.  Star Wars: Traveling through hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, boy!  [profile] katnboots

12.  Working Girl:  I have a head for business and a bod for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?  [profile] oaken_glen

13.  Grosse Point Blanke: They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"   [personal profile] fencerm2

14.  Ghostbusters:  Let's show this prehistoric bitch who we do thing downtown. THROW IT!   [profile] oaken_glen

15.  Galaxy Quest:  Look! I have one job on this lousy ship, it's *stupid*, but I'm gonna do it! Okay?   [profile] katnboots

16.  Aliens: Is this going to be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?  [profile] oaken_glen

17.  Caddyshack:  And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.  [profile] oaken_glen

18.  Bull Durham: I believe in the Church of Baseball.  [profile] katnboots

19.  The Thin Man: The important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.  [profile] collin_m

20.  Mystery Men: We are number one. All others are number two, or lower.  [personal profile] math5

21.  Gone with the Wind: I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over[profile] oaken_glen

22.  Stripes:  We're soldiers; but we're American soldiers. We've been kickin' ass for 200 years. We're 10 and 1.   [profile] oaken_glen

23.  Aliens: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. [profile] oaken_glen

24.  The Empire Strikes Back: Never tell me the odds[profile] katnboots
25.  A Fish Called Wanda:  The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself".  [profile] katnboots


Looks like some hints are in order.  Hints are in bold. And a few extra quotes from the same movies.

7.   I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbor's children devoured by wolves. - Film noir for rainy days, Clifton Webb
7.  In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention. 

And the answer to this one, which no one seems to be able to guess is: Laura   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037008/

Taking a shot at a couple others -

I'm thinking for some reason that #2 is from That Thing you Do.
I am wondering if #10 is from Dogma
And a shot in the dark - is #20 from Dodgeball?

# 19 is "The Thin Man" I think. Or it could be one of the sequels. I love Nick and Nora and would have gotten that without the hints but never looked at LJ yesterday.

The Thin Man it is. The shaking quote is the first line spoken by Nick Charles.

Ooooo....I haven't seen that one. And now I want to. I *love* Gene Tierney, she's in one of my all time faves, The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
