That Movie Meme!

[caz963]

Um, yeah. I'm supposed to be working but instead, I'm into a serious procrastination phase.

So instead - stolen from just about everyone - the movie meme. And I've nicked the idea of screening comments from kiss_me_cassie because that way everyone can play without cheating!

For anyone who wants to do it -

- Pick 15 of your favorite films.
- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each film. (although I cheated - I'm such a saddo that there were some quotes I didn't look up!)
- Post them here for everyone to guess.
- Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the film.
- NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

8. His Girl Friday?

[caz963.livejournal.com]

*ding ding*!!

[leli-5.livejournal.com]

I just watched it for the first time last weekend! It was mentioned so often in JD fanfic, that I figured I should see what the fuss was about. And really, how can you go wrong with Cary Grant???

[caz963.livejournal.com]

You can't go wrong with Cary Grant. :-) It's a fabulous film.

[gatsbyfan.livejournal.com]

No one picked 8? Seriously? Why that's Hildy, in His Girl Friday.

My favorite movie, closely followed by #2.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Yes! I know, I thought that was going to go first. But - how the hell has no-one got #12 yet?

[yelkao.livejournal.com]

#8 His Girl Friday
The frantic workplace, the overbearing boss trying to sabotage the relationships of his underling and Cary Grant, who could guess that this would be on your list! :D

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, I guess there are ... certain similarities. Although to be honest I loved the movie way before WW started.

Any more guesses?

[truecat.livejournal.com]

Number 8 (also one of my all time favs) is His Girl Friday!

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Well done :)

Worked out any more yet?

[lauraonbway.livejournal.com]

Isn't #12 Some Like it Hot?

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Yes! I couldn't believe nobody had got that one yet. One of my all time faves.

[quaggy]

Just so you know, number 11 is driving my crazy!!! I know I've heard it I just can't remember where! (All I can come up with is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but that can't be right.)

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no, it's not right. Guess again!

[quaggy]

Well, since I've never seen the movie, I guess I must have heard it as a clip in some Michael Caine tribute. Because I swear I've heard it before!

[ozzyols.livejournal.com]

11 - Zulu... Nothing like a bit of Caine :D

[hooloovoo_42]

Damn! You beat me to it.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because that immortal line from Nigel Green. "Zulus, sir. Thousands of 'em" could have given it away! ;-)

[aheiden.livejournal.com]

:D

3. I know where I am going

[caz963.livejournal.com]

YES!! Well done! It's a little known movie, but I love it. I'm a big Powell and Pressburger fan and that's one of my faves of theirs.
