Some Like It Hot, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] parrot_knight

I couldn’t use ‘Die Zürcher Verlobung’, as there are no quotes for it at IMDb; also, it’s in German. Shame, though, it’s an extremely funny film.

Stardust -- I just watched it, lol. Incidentally, had you read the book when you saw the movie? Because I could not enjoy the movie with the way they changed everything!

Cool. I've been polling people who have seen it about whether they'd read the book first or at all because I know so many people loved the movie, and I really tried but...Mr. Tater and I both failed at liking it!

5 is from one of the Indiana Jones films, but I can't remember which one.

7 is from Stardust.
2 and 6 ring a bell, but I can't place them. :)

Phew. I get to 14. and recognise one - "Sense and Sensibility".

I'd like to watch a lot of the others, though, started with the first.

Of *course* it is. I knew I recognised it. Margaret and Marianne. A film full of wonderful quotes.

6. is "Casablanca"! And now I'd really like to know which movie is about nekkid girls in fishtanks...

I'm obviously a bad, bad fan because I couldn't distinguish between "Casablanca" and "Robin Hood". And I'm still pondering the girls in the fishtanks. Arrrgh!

A: Why, you speak treason!
B: Fluently.


Is a bit of a cheat, unless I'm mistaken, because I'm sure that's a line from Doctor Who, The Awakening. Which, um, isn't a movie. *g*

ETA: Ah, no, the line from Doctor Who doesn't have the "why..." at the start.

Everyone who's done this meme on my Flist has included a line from Galaxy Quest. I think I may have to watch the darned thing...

David.

I think Doctor Who stole it from The Adventures of Robin Hood.

I was intrigued by no.13, so I googled. It might amuse you to know that if you put the full quote (without quotation marks) into google the first result is the film and the second is a bit of St. Augustine!

I am shocked. Shocked.

12. Oh my goodness, I know this! I can literally hear the delivery in my head. It's an animated film and an older one...not 101 Dalmatians, is it?

This is going to drive me absolutely mad, I'd like you to know. We even owned this film at some point and I'm completely drawing a blank on what it is, except that the Victoria Cross is a running joke and I'm reasonably convinced the line is spoken by a dog.

8 sounds extremely familiar, but I can't think what it might be. I may have heard a few of the others, too. I eagerly await the answers!
