Tagged for movie quotes

So Mathman http://www.mathman6293.blogspot.com tagged me with a movie quotes meme.

1. Here are quotes from 15 of my favourite movies.
2. See if you can name the films from whence they were lifted. [“From whence.” Don’t you just love it?]
3. No googling or IMDBing; I'm trusting you on this.
4. I'll post the film names as they’re correctly identified


1. Did you ever think to marry just for fun?

2. I wouldn't pray just for a old man that's dead, 'cause he's all right. If I was to pray, I'd pray for folks that's alive and don't know which way to turn.

3. I’ve never been to the opera.

4. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so.

5. If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead

6. Wow, you're fast. I'm glad I caught up to you. I waited 5 hours for you. Why is your coat so big? So, good news - I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

7. Oh, wake up, Norma, you'd be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.

8. It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.

9. Halt. You treasonous tramp. Conspiring with the enemy at sea is MUTINY.

10. I've been on a diet every day since I was nineteen, which basically means I've been hungry for a decade.

11. How are they going to deliver a bowling alley here tonight?

12. Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing

13. Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count.

14. Listen, it's after 7:00. Don't waste good lip gloss.

15. I forgot the other boy. Oh, what's his name. Oh, well, God bless What's-his-name

Um, yikes! I'm not recognizing these. Couldn't it be an 80's movie quiz?

No, some of them are 2007 movies. There are a couple of classics and an animated one.

Do ya know how long it's gonna take me to make my own list???? I don't suppose quotes from my favorite comedians dvds count, do they? Or dvds from my favorite shows????

..Eh, I didn't think so...stay tuned.

Fair warning: some of my favorite moves come from the 30s, 40s and 50s with a few quote 'up-to-date' unquote movies thrown in...and I said "quote/unquote" for a reason....speaking and typing don't translate well sometimes. :)
