All right people, let's see how well you know your classic movies! Or at least, 25 of what I consider to be stellar movies, worthy of the label "classic," whether or not they ever make any critic's best-of list.
*This meme comes to you courtesy of
Talk of Summertime.*
Here are the rules:
A. Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
B. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
C. Post them for everyone to guess.
D. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, listing the correct answer and who guessed it.
E. No Googling/using IMDb search functions. That's cheating, and it ruins the fun.

10.

"While You Were Sleeping," guessed by Devon and Mandi and Anonymous.

2) Clueless
18) Sleepless in Seattle
24) Tommy Boy
I think I could name almost all of them. We must watch a lot of movies together or something. :)
Anyway I want to clarify #22. It should read: Desert Eagle .50, not 5.0.
1. Princess Bride
16. The Neverending Story (total guess...but it makes sense from the quote)
I KNOW #25, but I can't remember it! And oops, didn't mean to delete my last post!
See, isn't that a fun way to waste an hour (or two...)?
#6) The Sound of Music
#13) While You Were Sleeping
#23) The Matrix
I don't have the time to do my own, but I do have the time to ID some, it's like a procrastination diet, right?
4. Lebowski baby!
9. P&P (I'm hoping the BBC version...)
15. On my top five of all time too! Almost Famous aka Untitled
19. Ah, Shawshank Redemption... I love Stephen King so much.
21. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
#3 sounds like The Little Mermaid
1. Princess Bride
3. Little Mermaid
6. Sound of Music
13. I knew this one but couldn't place it until I ran across it in someone else's post... they were right! While You Were Sleeping
13. While you were sleeping
I love quotes. I don't think you all realize how much I LOVE quotes...
25) Back to the Future
12) Oh Joss...how I love you. Really. Joss if you're reading this will you marry me? Or maybe the Cpt. from Serenity. I am waiting for either of your calls.
14) This makes me think of our dorm room since we listened to the cd over and over. 10 things I hate about you
#20 - Pretty sure it's Return of the Jedi, but at any rate, it's C3PO talking to Han Solo & Luke after they've been captured by the Ewoks. (God, if I'm wrong I'm gonna be a wee bit embarrassed. LOL.)
...The rest of the ones I know right off the bat were already guessed. Arg, got here too late. ;)
#17-I'm guessing Stranger than Fiction. Don't know for sure, but it sounds like it would fit. :)
10) That *sounds* like "Fargo." A guess only.
(I also thought "Stranger than Fiction" was wonderful!)
