The Game of the Film

[vovat]

Several people on my friends list have done this already, and I figure I might as well jump on the bandwagon.

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. [I'm actually going to disregard this and screen comments instead, to avoid the inevitable "I knew that, but someone else beat me to it!" problems that I've experienced myself with some of these. I mean, it's not like it really matters, but I don't think it's fair that people who just happen to read their friends page at the right time get an advantage.] EDIT: It's been a week, so I'm going to go ahead and unscreen the comments. You can still guess the ones that haven't been correctly identified.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions

1. Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere! O Brother, Where Art Thou? - secretnthewings, petie_s, and unclemilo
2. I support and oppose many things, but not strongly enough to pick up a pen. Bender's Big Score - petie_s
3. A delicious-looking limestone rock. Mmm! Mmm! Nice bouquet. Must be a real vintage year. The Neverending Story - secretnthewings, punterschlagen, and obsessical
4. Excellent. Now we must Gump the head at the front, and tie Jack's feet together. Return to Oz - slfcllednowhere, secretnthewings, arfies, and yosef
5. I've DONE everything a mother can do: I've locked her in her room, I've beat her with the car aerial. Nothing changes her. It's HARD being a loving mother! Female Trouble - revme
6. Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box? The Life of Brian - secretnthewings and rockinlibrian
7. SORRY! Sorry after you and your tennis pals torched this guy and now he's after me? In case you havent been keeping score, it's HIS fucking banquet, and I'm the last course.
8. Snozzberries? Whoever heard of a snozzberry? Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - slfcllednowhere, secretnthewings, rockinlibrarian, petie_s, obsessical, unclemilo, colbyucb, yosef, and remve
9. If nobody comes down here and buys a car in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right! I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal. You know I'll do it, too, cause I'm crazy. UHF - secretnthewings, petie_s, and revme
10. People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print.
11. You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it. Back to the Future - rockinlibrarian, punterschlagen, obsessical, and unclemilo
12. Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - unclemilo and revme
13. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They're murder. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - secretnthewings, rockinlibrarian, punterschlagen, and yosef
14. What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? A Clockwork Orange - slfcllednowhere, colbyucb, and revme
15. You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street or sticking your face in a fan.

Honestly, I like the lyric game better. While I watch a fair number of movies and really enjoy some of them, I'm just not as into Film as I am into Music. Anyway, go ahead and get guessing. I'll probably post the answers in about a week.

4. Return to Oz
8. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
14. A Clockwork Orange

[vovat.livejournal.com]

The title for #8 isn't quite correct.

[secretnthewings.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Ooh! I know some!

1. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
3. The NeverEnding Story
4. Return to Oz
6. Life of Brian (LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH)
8. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
9. UHF! Oh, man! I haven't seen this in years!
13. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


Aaaaaaaaand that's all I've got.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yes, those are all correct. And you should probably see UHF again. {g}

[slfcllednowhere.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. I always get mixed up cos that's the title of the book. But yeh, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

That's all right. It wouldn't have even been a problem if it hadn't been for the recent Burton film actually having the "Charlie" title. The weird thing about that is that it focused more on Willy Wonka than the earlier one did.

[rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com]

6. Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
--Life of Brian I think.

8. Snozzberries? Whoever heard of a snozzberry?
--ummm... oh yeah. Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, as opposed to the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (or as opposed to the much older BOOK...)

9. If nobody comes down here and buys a car in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right! I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal. You know I'll do it, too, cause I'm crazy.
--darn I've heard this one but can't think what it is.

11. You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it.
--haha, I know this one because I've only had the entire movie completely memorized since I was about ten... Back to the Future!

13. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They're murder.
--aw man, not only am I sure I know this, but I also swear I've seen it RECENTLY. Give me a moment... oh! One of the Harry Potters, Prisoner of Azkaban? It would be Sirius talking? Duh.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, all the ones you named are correct. I actually didn't remember the Prisoner of Azkaban line until I saw it in the IMDB. I need to rewatch the Potter films.

[petie-s.livejournal.com]

1 is O Brother! Where Art Thou? That should've been on my list. :)
2 is Futurama: Bender's Big Score.
8 is either Willie Wonka/Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
9 is UHF.

I'm a bit stumped as to the rest. But man, such good movies.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You got all four correct.

[punterschlagen.livejournal.com]

#3 - is this The Neverending Story? It's been so long since I've seen the movie (I've read the book more) that I'm not sure.

#11 - Back to the Future. One of my favorite trilogies.

#13 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Guess that's all I know.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those are right. I read the book of The Neverending Story a few years ago, but I've never seen the film sequels. I've heard that Part 2 is based on the second part of the book, but isn't all that good.

[obsessical.livejournal.com]

3) is Neverending Story, I Believe?
8) is most definitely Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
11) is totally Back to the Future!!!

Hmmm, 2 seems very, very familiar but I can't quite place it.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

No one has gotten #2 yet, which is kind of surprising. I'm pretty sure you've seen it. Those other two are correct.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait. petie_s got #2.

[arfies.livejournal.com]

4. Return to Oz

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are correct!

[unclemilo.livejournal.com]

1. O Brother Where Art Thou - Everett

8. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Veruca Salt (God love ya!)

10 The Paper (Not sure on that one)

11. Back to the Future

12. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

[vovat.livejournal.com]

All correct except for #10. I've never seen The Paper.

[unclemilo.livejournal.com]

Oh... and you should try mine. :)

[colbyucb.livejournal.com]

8 - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

14 - A Clockwork Orange

Totally got lucky with being the first to comment.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

You weren't the first to comment, but those are both correct.

[colbyucb.livejournal.com]

I was trickeddddd.

[colbyucb.livejournal.com]

Crud, didn't know you were screening, so possibly not lucky *frown*

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Well, I was purposely trying to avoid the luck factor. Both of your answers are right, though.

[yosef.livejournal.com]

4. Return to Oz
8. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
13. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yes, those are all right.

[revme.livejournal.com]

Hahhaha, I just watched 5 yesterday night. FEMALE TROUBLE!!

8. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

9. UHF

12. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

14. A Clockwork Orange

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yes, and you were the first person to get #5, so congratulations on that.
