More Leming Madness - The Movie Meme.

[arontius]

.....Quotes from some of my personal favorite movies. My apologies if any of them are repeats. Remember, no cheating by checking on-line for the quotes. :-)

1. "You may be lost, but you are not forgotten. For those who have travelled far, to fight in foreign lands, know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand. In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight. Or a flag. Rather we fight for the man on our left, and we fight for the man on our right. And when armies are scattered and the empires fall away, all that remains is the memory of those precious moments that we spent side by side."

2. Top Gun (Inez) - "The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid."

3. Ladyhawk (TBT) - "Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you."

4. "Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always."

5. Knightriders (Joel) - "There can only be one king, Morgan. You can't just split off and start over again whenever you want. We both know that inside. There can only be one king at one time. That's the law."

6. "That's, uh, that's enough music for now, lads... looks like there's dirty work afoot."

7. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is August Christopher. I was named for St. Augustine, who coined my favorite phrase, 'Give me chastity and give me constancy, but do not give it yet.'"

8. Star Wars - A New Hope (Episode IV) (Angharad) - "Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease."

9. Forest Gump (Signy) - "I'm sorry I had to fight in the middle of your Black Panther party."

10. Singing In The Rain (Angharad) - "Ladies and gentlemen, when you look at this gorgeous couple, it's no wonder they're a household name all over the world like... bacon and eggs. Lockwood and Lamont!"

11. The Princess Bride (Margret) - "I fight gangs for local charities and stuff."

12. Groundhog Day (Achaxe) - "I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster and drank pina coladas. At sunset we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over..."

13. The Terminator (Dame Eleanor) - "Come on. Do I look like the mother of the future? I mean, am I tough, organized? I can't even balance my checkbook!"

14. Army of Darkness (Signy) - "Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I *am* king. Hail to the king, baby."

15. The Quiet Man (Melusine) - "Ah, yes... I knew your people, Sean. Your grandfather; he died in Australia, in a penal colony. And your father, he was a good man too."

.....Hmmm, maybe a prize is in order for anyone who can figure out all fifteen correctly, without looking up the quotes on-line? :-)

#10 is "Singin' in the Rain". #8 is "Star Wars", I think.

No. 10 and No. 8.

[arontius]

Both correct! :-)

Boy, Arontius, you stumped the film freak, Abrahe. He can only think of 2:

#1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy...Which film we can't tell you, but then we have only watched them a handful of times versus your hundreds of viewings;-)

#2. Top Gun - Goose when he and Maverick are shot down by Jester.

No. 2 is correct...

[arontius]

...but the No. 1 guess is not. :-)

[scratchel.livejournal.com]

#9 is Forrest Gump

is #14 Army of Darkness?

No. 14 ...

[arontius]

...is correct. That movie had some fantastic one liners. :-)

[dame-eleanor.livejournal.com]

13. The Terminator

No. 13...

[arontius]

...is correct of course. :-)

[abrahe.livejournal.com]

#5 - Knightriders. Took me a little bit to actually place the quote, but I have to admit I actually own the VHS.

No. 5...

[arontius]

...is correct. For a 'B' movie I thought it was FANTASTIC. One of my all time favorite movies. :-)

15. The Quiet Man

I love that film.

No. 15 is...

[arontius]

...correct of course. :-)

[arontius]

...that no one got that one right away either. :-)

Re: I was surprised...

[hrmortcia.livejournal.com]

[centaur11.livejournal.com]

Is #1 Henry V? (Anne)

Nope. :-)

[arontius]

No. 1 is kind of a difficult one. It wasn't a first rate movie, but not a 'B' movie either. :-)
