My Turn!

July 6, 2006 11:24 PM

he Rules:
A. Pick 11 of your favorite movies.
B. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes on your blog.
D. Have commenters guess what the movie is.
E. Place the guesser's user ame directly after the quote.
F. Extra points for knowing the actor and/or character's name.

The quotes:
1. "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. Go back to the shadow. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun! You shall not pass!"
Santi correctly identified this as being said by Gandalf (Ian McKellan) in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

2. "Obviously, you are not a golfer."
Anonymous correctly identified this as being from The Big Lebowski, although he failed to state that it was said by The Dude (Jeff Bridges).

3. "Look what God just did to us!"
Kristin steps up and identifies the final quote: Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Nice.

4. "But why is the rum gone?"
As I was updating, Mr. Vice correctly identified this one: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

5. "I can teach you to fight with the Green Destiny, but first you must learn to hold it in stillness."
Anonymous correctly identified this one as being from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but didn't state that it was said by Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat).

6. "Of course it's dark. It's a suicide note."
Anonymous correctly identified this as being from The Royal Tenenbaums, although he didn't mention that it was spoken by Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson).

7. "Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?"
Anonymous correctly identified this as being from Shaun of the Dead, although he didn't identify the character: Shaun (Simon Pegg).

8. "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."
Anonymous is correct again, this is from the Blues Brothers. It's said by Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) and the response from Jake Blues is "Hit it."

9. "Never underestimate the power of denial."
Anonymous guessed, but he was off the mark. I will say that this is not from a Kevin Smith movie.
Santi correctly identified this as being said by Ricky (Wes Bentley) in American Beauty. I'm surprised you didn't get it sooner, Santi - we saw that movie together!

10. "Who's scruffy-looking?"
Santi correctly identified this as being said by Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in The Empire Strikes Back.

11. "There is fate, but it only takes you so far, because once you're there its up to you to make it happen." Chrystal was correct, this is from Can't Hardly Wait, spoken by the Angel (Jenna Elfman).

I've tried to come up with a nice mix of sci-fi/fantasy and more mainstream quotes/movies. Also, I think most of these are pretty easy, but some might be a little tougher. I'm also disappointed that I couldn't come up with more of these quotes off the top of my head. Anyway, enjoy.

Update: Way to go Anonymous. Santi also has had a respectable showing. Still, there are three more that need to be identified. Let's see who can get them. I think at least one of them is pretty easy.

Update again: Alright, Vice scooped up what I thought was the final easy one. Who can get the final two? 4 and 9 still need to be identified.

Final update: Finally, every single one of the quotes has been correctly identified. Very nicely done, everone!

Well I may as well take the easy ones. 1 is Gandalf (Ian McKellen) from Fellowship of the Rings, and 10 is Han Solo (Harrison Ford) from The Empire Strikes Back.

2 - Big Lebowski
5 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
6 - Royal Tenenbaums
7 - Shaun of the Dead
8 - Blues Brothers
9 - I know I know it, but holy shit is it eluding me. I'm inclined to say something by Kevin Smith. And if it's Mallrats, I'm gonna be real pissed that I didn't catch it.
