Movie Fun

The Rules:
1. Pick 30 of your favorite movies.
2. 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 correctly and the name of the movie.
5. NO CHEATING (googling/using IMDb/Wikiquote) for those of you guessing.

Just so we're clear-- I've provided you with thirty quotes from movies I like (please note-- some of these movies are not good). You provide the answers (or, at least, the ones you know) in the comments. I'll cross the quotes out as people guess correctly. The person with the most correct guesses gets... I don't know. More free grad school advice? A "Sexy Men of the English Department" calendar? What, exactly, do you want?

1. Well, I sort of lay there in pain, but I love it. I really love it. I lay there hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness. It's really the greatest.

2. Ha ha! You didn't count on my loyal army of prostitutes, did you?

3. You walk around like you're Mr. Cool, Mr. Wisdom... but you're not. You're just some old hood.

4. This is my gardener Clayton Boone. He's never met a princess before, only queens. (Gods and Monsters, Emily)

5. You just shut up and remember you're just the cook! And me and him'll handle this!

6. Ollie, you know my feelings about arming morons: you arm one, you've got to arm them all, otherwise it wouldn't be good sport.

7. True. I was their number one son, and they treated me like number two.(Batman Returns, Emily)

8. Yes, I am smoking cigarettes and some of my friends have died of them, but I am not downing a quart of Scotch in fifteen minutes. Looked at that way, cigarettes are actually a health tool!

9. God loves me. I know he loves me. I want him to stop.

10. Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives. (Dawn of the Dead, Nels P. Highberg)

11. I ain't the same, Ned. Claudia, she straightened me up, cleared me of drinkin' whiskey and all. (Unforgiven, mditusa)

12. I think you're the opposite of a paranoid. I think you go around with the insane delusion that people like you. (Deconstructing Harry, Emily)

13. It's all done except the last chapter. I want you to help me. Finish it... (The Fountain, Emily)

14. The poor dope - he always wanted a pool. Well, in the end, he got himself a pool. (Sunset Blvd., Emily)

15. One of your children has posed a curious question: if the world is round, why is a frozen lake flat?

16. I'm gonna bend your johnson, Swope! (Putney Swope, Emily)

17. This guy, the Cowboy, wants to see you. Jason said he thought it'd be a good idea.

18. And take off that vest. You look like Aladdin. (Superbad, Emily)

19. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat.

20. Thank God he was born an orphan. It would have killed his parents.

21. Let's have some action! Let's have some asses wigglin'... I want some perfection! (Purple Rain, Emily)

22. It wasn't a miscarriage. It was an abortion. An abortion, Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion. Something that's unholy and evil. (The Godfather, Part II, mditusa)

23. It's all here. Read it carefully, then sign at the bottom in blood. Messy, I know, but it's the only way to bind. Tradition.

24. Without me? But, my dear Topps, you know that isn't possible. The world simply cannot exist without me.

25. I understand that I must be shocking to you, however, I must also point out that I have an allergy to the sun and that's why I put this medication on.

26. You know I just, I can't drink whiskey like I usetacould. My old belly just ain't no count. I get the shits every time don't you know.

27. Shit man, that honky mus' be messin' my old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head. You know?

28. He's a common ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English.

29. I was busy pushing bodies around as you well know and what would a note say, Dan? "Cat dead, details later"?

30. And maybe one day, years from now, long after I'm dead and gone, reunited with your dear mother, you gather your whole family together and tell them the truth, who you are, where you come from. You tell them the whole story. And then you ask them if they know how lucky they are to be there. (25th Hour, mditusa)
