I got a voice mail from an old friend yesterday basically daring me to blog again, and since she and my friend Lisa have started this little game, I thought this might be a good way to get back into it. (Another friend has been encouraging me to write more in general, and since she obliges when I make similar requests, I'm going to try. Really.)
But for now, here’s the deal:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. Looking them up is cheating, please don’t.
Have fun!
Ed. note (4/16/08): Thanks and congrats to Lisa, Sheryl and TG for playing along. Time now to identify the rest of the quotes, for you readers who have been dying to know...
1. “Whoopsidaisies. It's a disease I've got. It's a clinical thing. I'm taking pills and having injections. It won't last long.” TG got this one right—"Notting Hill." Great chick flick.
2. “…when you're attracted to someone, it just means that your subconscious is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously. So what we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing that they are a perfect match.” Sleepless in Seattle
3. “Oh, but ‘baby fish mouth’ is sweeping the nation?” Lisa got it right! "When Harry Met Sally"
4. “You're born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines.” While You Were Sleeping
5. “If some lives form a perfect circle, others take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand.” Lisa got this one, too: "Message in a Bottle"
6. “I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.” Sheryl got it! "The Princess Bride"
7. “We're not laughing at you—we're laughing near you.” Dead Poets Society
8. “…is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?” The Sound of Music
9. “Why do I have to be the responsible grown-up who worries? Why can't I be the cute, carefree Irish guy who sings all the time?” P.S. I Love You
10. “In a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step. If you shoot too high and miss, everybody feels more secure. You've put the investigation back months.” All the President's Men

6 is the Princess Bride. How many times did we watch that in the Kirk House? 15000?
#3 is from When Harry Met Sally. # 5 is, I think, from Message in a Bottle. I knew #6 too, but Sheryl beat me to it! LOL
# 1 is from Notting Hill, when Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and William Thacker (Hugh Grant) are climbing the garden wall. LOVE that movie! I was going to use it -- the line about "but I'm also just a girl, standing here in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
