Movie Quote Trivia, Part Une

Following Darren's suit, here is round one of Movie Quote Trivia. I shouldn't have to tell you, but no cheating, y'all.

I tried to borrow Darren's rating system, so forgive me if you think something is too easy or too hard. I don't really know; I was just guessing-ish.

For your reference:

E = Easy
M = Medium
D = Difficult


Let the games begin. If some lucky sucker can honestly guess every single one, well, I just might have to buy them some ice cream or something.


1 (D) "Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?"
2. (M) "It's like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when it's going to rain."
3. (E) "We're alike, me and cat. A couple of poor nameless slobs."
4. (D) "Do we look like the kind of store that sells 'I Just Called to Say I Love You?' Go to the mall."
5. (E) "I have been touched by your kids... and I'm pretty sure that I've touched them."
6. (D) "Woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man."
7. (M) "Wise man say forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."
8. (M) "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?"
9. (D) "I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wives. You know, at one time I think I secretly wanted to be a writer."
10. (M) "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
11. (E) "Earth to Matilda, I was at a day spa. Day, D-A-I-Y-E. Okay?"
12. (M) "Put. That. Coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers only."
13. (E) "Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom."
14. (D) "Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist wrapped in blood!"
15. (M) "Well, a son is a poor substitute for a lover."
16. (E) "Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window."
17. (D) "It's like in a Hitchcock movie, you know, where they tie you up in a rubber bag and throw you in the trunk of a car. You find people."
18. (D) "Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."
19. (E) "Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era."
20. (M) "I would never barf in your urn, Bren."


About a week from now, I will post Movie Quote Trivia, Part Deux, so study up and watch some movies.

I disagree with some of your ratings. Some of those difficults seemed really easy, and like they were some of the more memorable quotes from the movie. Some of those easys I've never heard of.


2) Mean Girls
4) High Fidelity
5) School of Rock
7) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
8) Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
10) American Beauty
11) Zoolander
16) A Christmas Story
18) Garden State
19) Anchorman
20) Juno

After I posted my comment, I cheated and looked the rest up, and now I feel dumb because a good number of those that I didn't get are from movies I've seen many times. I can hear the characters saying the now, but I couldn't before I cheated.

First of all, Darren was totally copying ME, but I was totally copying somebody else so.....whatever. here's my go:

4. High Fidelity?
5. School of Rock
6. O Brother, Where art thou?
8. This one is on the tip of my tongue I swear it.......
16. A Christmas Story
17. Waiting for Guffman (such a sweet, sweet film...it made my movie quiz, too)

These are tough, lady friend. A lot of them sound familiar but I can't place them. Phew. My brain aches.

You guys are doing great!

Derek, I rated a lot of R-rated quotes as harder purely because I know a lot of people don't watch "those" movies...but yeah.

Em, Waiting for Guffman is one of my favorite comedies EVER. I almost used the quote "I hate you, and I hate your ASS FACE," but in the end, I thought the Hitchcock quote would be a little less obvious.

Also, I'm baffled that no one has guessed 13. There were about 5 other quotes I almost pulled from that movie that I thought would be just as easy...maybe I was wrong.

Hot Fuzz
No idea
nope
High Fidelity
School of Rock
Sounds familiar
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie
nope
uh uh
no
Zoolander
Glengarry Glen Ross
Gladiator
