I believe 9 is The Matrix.
15 is Guys and Dolls.

And 1 sounds so very familiar but it's not popping in my head.

[cassandramorgan.livejournal.com]

OH OH!!!

1 is Real Genius. I so love that movie.

[sara-merry99.livejournal.com]

8 is definitely The Princess Bride

3 is Dangerous Liaisons/Les Liaisons Dangerouse

13 sounds like I should know it but I can't place it.

Odds are good you've seen the movie it's from. (I note with interest that I didn't quote *any* Monty Python. It's too easy for most of the people I know.)

There are far too many movies from the 80's in that list. I have got to get out more...

Number 5 is from WarGames.

Number 13 is from Animal House. John Belushi rallies the troops of Delta House.

Oh, and love the Cat Returns avatar, Cassandra. One of Studio Ghibli's very underrated films. :)

[cassandramorgan.livejournal.com]

Cat Returns was the first Ghibli movie that my daughter would sit through. It wasn't until AFTER she saw it that she'd watch My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. (She's also added Spirited Away to her list of favorite movies.)

[sara-merry99.livejournal.com]

Wow, so I didn't know 13 after all--I've never seen Animal House.

I think I'm going to disqualify you on the grounds that we've seen far too many of the same movies.

Skull, dammit, Skull!

[ardvaark99999.livejournal.com]

How could you leave that off the list? Sheesh!

Because, best beloved, the internets let me down on fact-checking the quote. For some reason, the entire rest of the world is not as interested in seeing Christopher Lee (the guy who plays Saruman The White) as the leader of a gay motorcycle gang as we are. Other people are not as fond of Serial as we are. I couldn't even dredge up Paco, from El Perro? and believe me, I tried. I generally fact check the quotes before I post them because wetware memory is so damn unreliable...

7. The Breakfast Club

[teflon-tim.livejournal.com]

And the last one (#4) is from Lilo & Stitch. Just saw it the other night; a much better movie than it looked to be from the previews.
