1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.
--first, let me tell you: I can BARELY think of 12 movies I've SEEN, so your pool is pretty small.
Ones in italics with titles under them have been answered. Still up for grabs: 5, 8
1. "I always say perseverance is nine-tenths of any art--not that it's much help to be nine-tenths an artist, of course."
(If you can't get it from that: "There are no happy endings because nothing ends.")
The Last Unicorn; guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

2. "The video arcade is down the street. Here we just sell small rectangular objects. They're called books. They require a little effort on your part, and make no bee-bee-bee-bee-beeps. On your way, please."
The Neverending Story; guessed bysasuran
3. "Why do we need language?"
"To communicate..."
"Nooo! To woo women!"
Dead Poets Society; guessed bybeergoddess
4. "What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something."
"What makes you think I'm not?"
Donnie Darko; guessed bysirivus
5. "Look, we can't do this 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"Why not?"
6. "...happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light."
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; guessed bybeergoddess
7. "Who scores the highest?"
"Asian chicks. Middle class Asian chicks that watch less than one hour of television a day."
(or: "You know, a lot of people would think these questions are difficult... not me."
"No?"
"No. These questions all have answers.")
The Perfect Score; guessed bybeergoddess
8. "You, Freddy, what do you like to do?"
"I dunno. Burn stuff?"
9. "I am exhausted from living up to your expectations."
Labyrinth; guessed bysasuran
10. "Of course you are. And I'm coming with you."
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; guessed byangeltrix
11. "I see we're making our visits a weekly ritual."
"Only so we can have these moments together. Should I, uh, hit the lights?"
"Oh, very clever, kangaroo boy."
Ten Things I Hate About You; guessed bybeergoddess
12. "To trudge: the slow weary walk of a man that has nothing left in his life but the impulse to simply solider on."
"Uhhh... were you robbed?"
"[laughs] Funny really, yes, but at the same time, a huge, resounding no. It's more of an involuntary vow of poverty, really."
(Or, alternatively, "Pain, lots of pain."
And, because it's the last one and this scene was hilarious:
Wat: "Say something about her breasts."
Roland: "Yeah, you miss her breasts."
William: "Her breasts."
Chaucer: "Ye... yes, you... you could, umm... umm... but I... I would tend to look above her breasts, William."
William: "Well I... I miss her throat."
Chaucer: "Uh, still higher really, toward the heavens."
Kate: "The moon at least, her breasts were not that impressive.")
angeltrix got it first: A Knight's Tale
I tried to make them mostly obscure, so while they may not be the most FAMOUS quotes, they're certainly ones you should recognize.

Date: 2005-01-12 01:28 pm (UTC)On other, more reaching limbs, uh, I'd guess that #8 is Drop Dead Fred, but I'm willing to admit it's a bad guess, since I only know of one person who actually liked that movie, and he was, well, demented at best. Then either #3 or #7 is from Ten Things I Hate About You. I especially like #7.
