I had a feeling we'd have seen most of the same films.

[cursethedark.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily a Carpenter fan...but BTiLC has got to be one of the most easily quotable movies ever. And "They Live" is just great fun. The shining star of Roddy Piper's career.

I once used the "watermelon" line in my own quote quiz. Nobody got it.

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Best fight scene ever.

The watermelon bit is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

[elkabong.livejournal.com]

2 is Young Frankenstein
8 is Caddyshack

I got beat to 9 and 13 :)

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Correct on both films, sir!

[wikkidgothbabe.livejournal.com]

i want to guess #3 is *My Fair Lady*
But i could be wrong.

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

You could be wrong...but you're not!

[wikkidgothbabe.livejournal.com]

Hooray me!!!!

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

You remind me that my list has a notable paucity of Walken films.

[wikkidgothbabe.livejournal.com]

Well... next time perhaps...

[slit.livejournal.com]

15. Casablanca

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Captain Renault has always been one of my personal heroes.

[archangelsk.livejournal.com]

12. The Mask of Zorro

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

My favorite Zorro film of all time, and Lord knows I've seen a few.

[coconuthead.livejournal.com]

I've got nothing. I FAILED!

[kleric.livejournal.com]

Ditto! Although #10 seems really familiar, but I just can't place it without cheating and googling.

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

I give points for effort.

[gismonda.livejournal.com]

I spy a Zorro quote. Also am bummed to not see "yammy in Santa's handbag" on here.

And number 4 is from the Illusionist! And the Grant's tomb line sounds like a Nick and Nora bit but I'm not sure which film. The Thin Man?

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

You are correct on all counts!

I thought about including the "Santa just yammied in your handbag" line, but the movie it's from wasn't one of my favorites. In fact, it kinda sucked. Although that particular line was delivered by the redoubtable Kathleen Freeman (http://imdb.com/name/nm0293466/).

[midwest-siren.livejournal.com]

Number 7 is Spiderman 2

Happy Tuesday!

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Alfred Molina's performance is one of my all-time favorite performances in all of film. Seriously.

And I must say, today could have gone better.

[midwest-siren.livejournal.com]

YES. He was my favorite in this flick. Reminded me of a good friend, actually. Other than the craziness and the giant robotic limbs...

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Alfred Molina has long been one of my favorite character actors. When I heard he was going to play Dr. Octopus, I anticipated great things. He exceeded my expectations.
