GIP & Movie-quote meme

Gacked from all over, most recently from anesthezea

1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.

1. I've already wasted my whole life. I want to tell you with my last breath that I have always loved you. I would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul, than enter heaven without you. Because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, correctly guessed by settiai

2. He's trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I'm gonna lead you down the path that rocks. The Emperor's New Groove, correctly guessed by settiai

3. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. Moulin Rouge, correctly guessed by veraxia

4. You're the predator. Master and Commander, correctly guessed by girlfromsouth

5. And one and two and three and four and your hands should be light like a birdie on a branch. And one and two and three and four and Wat doesn't lead he follows like a girl. A Knight's Tale, correctly guessed by settiai

6. What, the curtains? Monty Python and the Holy Grail, correctly guessed by lannamichaels

7. Leave it. It is over. The world of men will fall, and all will come to darkness. My city to ruin. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, correctly guessed by lannamichaels (though, this may be cheating ;)) & settiai

8. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, correctly guessed by veraxia

9. I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back." Gladiator, correctly guessed by veraxia & girlfromsouth

10. The danger of the chase has made you perspire. It has made me also... moist. The Impostors, correctly guessed by di_br

11. There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours. The Princess Bride, correctly guessed by lannamichaels & veraxia

12. If I could work cases like a real detective, I could prove it. But I'm not smart enough. I'm just the guy they bring in to scare the other guy shitless. L.A. Confidential, correctly guessed by girlfromsouth

deerdancer, wherever you might be, #10 is dedicated especially to you. Cookies to anybody else who recognises it!

ETA:
Okay, obviously, this was way too freaking easy. Am off to plot!

6. Holy Grail.

7. *sniff* Boromir.....

8. Return of the Jedi.

11. Princess Bride

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

6 & 11 are correct. 8 is not. And I'm going to have to be a smart-arse and demand that you be more specific for number 7. *EG*

[lannamichaels]

Hermph.


7. *cries* Oh, Boromir, my Boromir! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Aww, didn't wanna make you cryyy. *scuffs toe on floor*

[lannamichaels]

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.


My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.


*wails* *sniffs* *cuddles Boromir action figure*

3. Moulin Rouge?
7. LotR: RotK
8. squee! squee! =) SW: The Empire Strikes Back... (shit... it is Empire, right? Gah! Am now getting it and RotJ mixed up!)
9. Gladiator?
11. The Princess Bride

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

You got them all right, except for #7. Wrong LotR movie.

[girlfromsouth.livejournal.com]

4 is Master and Commander :) (OMG JACK/STEPHEN 4EVA!!)
9 is Gladiator
and I think 12 is L.A. Confidential

I am on a Russell Crowe kick, clearly ;)

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

You got 'em. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with Russell Crowe kicks.

Unless you're kicking Russell Crowe, because that would make me cry.

[girlfromsouth.livejournal.com]

Oh, Russell. He can do *whatever* to me at any time. *grin*

[girlfromsouth.livejournal.com]

Also, is #7 LOTR: FOTR?

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! *pets pretty Boromir*

[settiai]

1. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
2. The Emperor's New Groove
5. A Knight's Tale
7. LotR: FotR

Ooh, fantastically done. You make me squeal for recognising TENG. :)

[settiai]

I just watched TENG earlier today. :-P

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

*squeaks*

I just found out today that they're making a sequel. Direct-to-video. Out this year. Original cast. Am nervous. Will stop speaking in sentence fragments, starting........ now.

[settiai]

*stares*

Sequel? Out this year? Original cast?

I didn't know that.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Found out pretty much by accident, just randomly surfing around. Disney sequels, particularly of the direct-to-video kind, are notoriously horrible. But this one has the entire original cast. This still makes me nervous, but I'll just have to see it. TENG is my favourite animated movie ever.

[di-br.livejournal.com]

Ok, I just realized I'm kinda late here...

#10 The Impostors?

I'm taking a wild guess here, I remember having heard that one before somewhere...*shrug*

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's it! :D I'm glad somebody besides deerdancer was able to get it. I love that little movie.

[di-br.livejournal.com]

Yay for me!!!

It's been so long since I watched it, but I remember I loved it anyway.:D I loved this meme thing...

[ana-br.livejournal.com]

Aww... I missed it! All of them are done... well then, if you want to try and guess my movie quotes, check my LJ out! They're not that hard... :)

[perafruit.livejournal.com]

*sobs* I only knew three and nine.
