No Header! WOW, I Was Tired This Morning

By popular request, that meme:

1. Pick 15 or 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. No googling or using IMDb search functions.


Okay, go!

1. "I just met the swellest dame... She smacked me in the kisser."

2. "Well that was bloody Shakespearian. Do you know who Shakespeare is, sonny? He wrote the King James Bible."--Gangs of New York, IDed by [livejournal.com profile] pistolandlariat.

3. "We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for."

4. "When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself. What a plague you are."

5. "That's why the bottle didn't slice. My mind and my spirit are goin' north and south."

6. "Ever see a man's stump? Guy's like, 'Go on, man. I want you to know how it feels. Touch it. Touch my stump.'"--Hard Core LOgo, IDed by [livejournal.com profile] xterminal.

7. "Of course I like him. I like pizzas too, but I'm not gonna marry one."

8. "Hey, is this crack? Do you know how to do it?"

9. "Try this. It's delicious. Want some gold? I'm not giving it to anybody else!"

10. "Seven hours of screaming down Bethnal Green bloody tube station. Then I had to cut the baby's head off - to save the mother's life. She died anyway, poor old cow. God, there was so much blood! Jesus! And the abortions. Those poor girls. One day they'll drain Victoria Park lake. And you know what they'll find? What glorious remnants of the Second World War? Babies, that's what. Bullets and dead babies. Men! Mum's right. They stay kids all their fucking lives. And they end up heroes - or monsters. Either way they win."--The Krays, IDed by [livejournal.com profile] agincourtgirl.

11. "Like most intellectuals, he's intensely stupid."

12. "We have decided how sad it is for others that they cannot appreciate our genius."--Heavenly Creatures, IDed by [livejournal.com profile] blixie.

13. "Oh, my wealthy fraternity brothers. 67 dollars, and a second-hand typewriter."

14. "It's a freakin' baboon hair!"

15. "You taught me that people will do anything for a potato."

As ever, I'm sort of appalled by the lack of selection in some places, and amazed by the selection in others. So there you go. Enjoy.;)

Those are all great quotes but I am horrible at remembering movie lines, unfortunately.

Weirdly enough, Marcello and I are going to visit Bethnal Green once I'm back, as it's full of his friends and is generally all right!

I hope you are all well!

I know I've seen at least half, but the only one that instantly comes to mind is Hard Core Logo (6)...

2) Gangs of New York

Heh. 6 is Hard Core Logo and 13 is Heavenly Creatures. And I feel like one of those must be Ravenous but I'm not sure which one.

I'm...okay. Probably projecting some weird aura, because my Mom phoned today to ask how I was--says she thinks I'm depressed. I might be. I might also be stressed out, overtired, etc. As per.

Re Bethnal Green, meanwhile, I'm sure it's improved greatly since the Biltz! We should get together sometime soon.;)

You are correct, ma'am! And there were so many other ones I could have chosen, too...

[identity profile] handful-ofdust.livejournal.com 2008-03-01 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
None of them are, actually. But now I'm kicking myself!

[identity profile] handful-ofdust.livejournal.com 2008-03-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
C'est vrai. I was hoping they'd have the "they fought like a white trash couple in some trailer park" quote, but they didn't.

Then that would be...hmmm...they was good as gold, they only killed their own? (The Krays?).

This weather is enough to get anyone down. We should get together soon - I'm waiting to hear about when I'm teaching a make-up class this week - once I know, I'll call you.

Ha, wow! And I think I only ever showed that to you once, in sections. Good call.

Yeah, sounds great. Get back to me when you know.

Hee Ravenous was on the other day and I totally thought of you.
