I don't think I have done this meme before. Picked up in this incarnation from [livejournal.com profile] lignota:

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.


This is less randomized than the similar lyrics meme; I can't tell if that will make it impenetrable or dead obvious. All quotations presented in translation, regardless of their original language. Be warned that I have taken a liberal approach to instruction #2, as some of the films I like best are poorly represented in the memorable quotes of IMDb.

1) If it wasn't for the concussion, I'd take you out!

2) Tell me, Muse, of the storyteller who has been thrust to the edge of the world, both an infant and an ancient, and through him reveal Everyman. (Homer, Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire). —[livejournal.com profile] lnhammer)

3) I suppose you're just some harmless beachcomber who happens to wear a tuxedo?

4) Well, that explains it, then. The A2s always were a bit twitchy. (Bishop, Aliens. —[livejournal.com profile] morbidmom04)

5) Does this look sexual to you?

6) I swear to you that I didn't say a word about angels.

7) Look at yourself! What do you see, girl? You see the body of a woman. The temple of creation and motherhood. You see the flesh of Eve that man since Adam has profaned. That body was meant for begetting children. It was not meant for the lust of men. (Harry Powell, The Night of the Hunter. —[livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks)

8) At a stage in life when other men prosper, I'm reduced to living in Philadelphia! (John Adams, 1776. —[livejournal.com profile] stephanieburgis)

9) Well, naturally. It's much too dangerous to jump through fire with their clothes on. (Lord Summerisle, The Wicker Man (1973). —[livejournal.com profile] chalkhorse, [livejournal.com profile] wyldemusick, [livejournal.com profile] xterminal)

10) And when you see the bluebells in the spring and the wild thyme, the broom and the heather, you're only seeing what their eyes saw. You ford the same rivers. The same birds are singing. When you lie flat on your back and rest and watch the clouds sailing, as I often do, you're so close to those other pilgrims that you can hear the thrumming of the hooves of their horses and the sound of the wheels on the road, their laughter and talk, and the music of the instruments they carried. (Thomas Colpeper, A Canterbury Tale. —[livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks)

11) You have caused me to lose my temper, a thing that has hardly ever happened before. I prefer to say nothing more tonight. I am going to bed. (Henry Higgins, My Fair Lady. —[livejournal.com profile] rosefox and [livejournal.com profile] nineweaving)

12) Respectability just made me bankrupt.

13) It was always in my blood to die at sea, but it was not a fate I ever wanted for you. (Bootstrap Bill Turner, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. —[livejournal.com profile] gaudior, [livejournal.com profile] coraline, [livejournal.com profile] erinya_dhaunae)

14) Don't make it sound like such a threat. Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony. (Toddy, Victor/Victoria. —[livejournal.com profile] liveavatar)

15) It is my only weakness. (Dr. Pretorius, Bride of Frankenstein. —[livejournal.com profile] yendi)
