And that meme that's going around:

Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
Post them here for everyone to guess.
Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. "Your cash is good at the bar."/"What? Do you know who I am?"/"I do. You're lucky the bar's open to you." Casablanca, ID'd by kawaiispinel

2. "So, do they give the Nobel Prize out in yearly payments or is it just one lump sum, like the lottery?"

3. "Look at this! 'Baby Born with Two Heads'... must be from Brooklyn." Newsies, ID'd by ronniekins77

4. "I try to open up to what I don't know, because reason says I should have died three years ago..." RENT, ID'd by kawaiispinel and allfireburns

6. "Boy, it sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?" Serenity, ID'd by allfireburns

7. "During the daytime people would want to hear songs that they know, just songs that they recognize. I play these songs at night or I wouldn't make any money. People wouldn't listen."

12. "What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your present circumstances seems more likely, consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer." The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, ID'd by kawaiispinel and allfireburns

13. "This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn't you have a plan for getting out?" Star Wars, ID'b by allfireburns

The only one I know is the last one. Princess Bride (♥♥♥) :D

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Correct! That movie is so much love. ♥♥♥

I think this meme is probably my favorite meme ever.

3 is from Newsies and 10 is from A Knight's Tale! Quite a few of these I feel like I've heard before, tho.

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

It's so much fun! *bounces*

Right on both!

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Hee! Now I just have to figure out if I actually have PBS. *shifty*

1. Casablanca
4. RENT
8. Hairspray
12. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
14. FERNGULLY, ZOMG!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

There's some site where you can plug in your zip code and it'll check out the local listings for you, but I don't remember where it is, so that's probably not very helpful. *flail* ...actually, it might be the PBS official site? You might check that out, anyway.

FERNGULLY, YAY! And correct on all 5 counts! ♥

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Hee! I found it. And now around 8-ish, I gets a Raul. Yayz.

♥ FERNGULLY EEEE. (It deserves capslock for it is awesome and pretty much the most memorable film from my childhood.)

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs more Raúl in their lives.

I scored a copy of FernGully sometime last year and rewatched it and gleed and it was pretty much the best film of my childhood yesssss.

2. Evie says A Beautiful Mind. I'm not sure, but it sounds ridiculously familiar.
4. Rent
6. Serenity
10. A Knight's Tale
12. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
13. Star Wars, according to Evie. I haven't watched that movie since I was, like, eight, possibly younger, so I've got no clue.

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

2 isn't A Beautiful Mind, although if the thought had occurred to me that movie would have made the list, too. Paul Bettany = Love. But everything else is right! ♥

[muffin-shark.livejournal.com]

I swear to God, the "Miss O'Shaughnessy" quote sounds so familliar, but I can't place it.

Are they *really* airing Company? Scratch that, change it to past tense. I don't suppose you got a recording of it, did you? I'd trade you anything for it.

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

It's a classic film noir, if that helps at all? And I'm surprised it's not familiar to more people, actually. :/

They did! It was amazing. I bawled. And taped it. But more importantly somebody posted an Internet video of it on one of those communities I can't talk about outside of flock, so I'm working on getting that and then I'm gonna reup and put it here. So you'll get it, one way or the other. <3
