Guess that movie quote meme!
Feb. 21st, 2011 10:58 pmETA - Guess it's safe to reveal the answers on this one now...sorry. :)
Don't know who started this meme going again, but thank you. :) I'm sure I could come up with a lot more movies, but these were the first 15 I could think of.
1. "What was it we had for dinner tonight?"
"Well, we had a choice of steak or fish."
"Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna."-- Airplane!,

2. Nino is late. Amelie can only see two explanations. 1 - he didn't get the photo. 2 - before he could assemble it, a gang of bank robbers took him hostage. The cops gave chase. They got away... but he caused a crash. When he came to, he'd lost his memory. An ex-con picked him up, mistook him for a fugitive, and shipped him to Istanbul. There he met some Afghan raiders who took him to steal some Russian warheads. But their truck hit a mine in Tajikistan. He survived, took to the hills, and became a Mujaheddin. Amelie refuses to get upset for a guy who'll eat borscht all his life in a hat like a tea cozy. -- Amelie
3. "Lloyd, let me just say one thing, since we've stopped. I've worked with a lotta directors. Some of them were geniuses, some of them were bastards. But I've never met one who was so totally and absolutely... I don't know."
"Thank you Gary, I'm very touched. Now will you get off the fucking stage?" -- Noises Off! (LOVE this movie!)
4. "Have you found Jesus yet, ________?" (Gump)
"I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir." -- Forrest Gump,

5. I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you? -- Inception,

6. "Oh, I'm sick of messages from the front. Don't we ever get a message from the side? - What is it?"
"General Smith reports a gas attack. He wants to know what to do."
"Tell him to take a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda and a half a glass of water." -- Duck Soup (gotta love Groucho Marx)
7. "Are you suggesting madam that there exists a law compelling a gentleman to lay hold of canine bowel movements?"
"I'm suggesting that you pick the poop up." -- Kate & Leopold, Sylvia Arnold
8. "God, not those finger paintings again. They certainly were a waste of money."
"The difference between Cal's taste in art and mine is that I have some. They're fascinating. It's like being inside a dream or something. There's truth but no logic."
"What's the artist's name?"
"Something Picasso."
"Something Picasso? He won't amount to a thing." -- Titanic,

9. "I have discovered the Holy Grail of science. In two years, I can cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that?"
"I guess just you and God. But that's the answer you want, isn't it?" -- The Island
10. "This sash was a gift to me, from the Queen of America."
"There's no queen of America!"
"I beg to differ, infant. We're on quite intimate terms, unless you can prove otherwise." -- The Three Musketeers
11. Can't you understand? That if you take a law like evolution and you make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools? And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it. And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other. Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding. And soon, your Honor, with banners flying and with drums beating we'll be marching backward, BACKWARD, through the glorious ages of that Sixteenth Century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind! -- Inherit the Wind
12. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. -- The Matrix,

13. I was a warrior who dreamed he could bring peace. Sooner or later though, you always have to wake up. -- Avatar
14. Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed. -- North By Northwest (my favorite Hitchcock movie)
15. "Why'd you catch that?"
"Because it was going to fall."
"You're certain?"
"Yeah."
"But it didn't fall. You caught it. The fact that you prevented it from happening doesnt change the fact that it was *going* to happen." -- Minority Report
