Movie Quotes
I blame xaipw. I saw a movie quote meme on deelaundry’s LJ, guessed one and moved on. But I can’t resist the lure twice.
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING / using IMDb search functions.
It’s almost two days (not that my seldom-used LJ gets much traffic). Time for hints.
1) A: I asked you a simple question! Do you love her?
B: Yes! But don't hold that against me. I'm a little screwy myself!
Hint: For over 40 years, this remained the only movie to win the top 5 Oscars – Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress and Actor.
2) I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children.

3) Poker should not be played in a house with women.
A Streetcar Named Desire, identified byxaipw
4) Why, everybody inMandrake Falls
Hint: I doubt the Adam Sandler remake included this quote. (But I’ll never know.)
5) Stop saying "Leopold" like that, tenderly. It sounds funny. You can't do it with a name like Leopold.
Hint: You can’t do it with a name like Archibald, either. That must be why he changed it.
6) I picked you for the job, not because I think you're so darn smart, but because I thought you were a shade less dumb than the rest of the outfit. Guess I was wrong. You're not smarter, Walter... you're just a little taller.
Hint: Another quote from what I consider the best film noir movie ever “They're stuck with each other and they've got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”
7) A: Now what is the first thing you notice in a person?
B: Whether the person is male or female.

8) What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?
Hint: Another quote from this Best Picture winner “Win? I said *place*! ‘Place it on Lucky D-’ That horse is gonna run second!”
9) Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales

10) Please, I know everybody on this island is complete and total crazy. But you, Whittaker Walt? You are crazy too?
Hint: Another quote/dialog exchange.
A: Very clever little boy. Very, very clever, to see that my friend and I are foreigners here… <snip> What would the <snip> be doing on United States of America island, with so many animosities and hatreds between these two countries? It is too funny an idea, is it not? No, we, we are of course... Norwegians. On a small training exercise for the Nyaato countries...
B: NATO.
A: NATO countries, of course, yes. Ah, to reach place of power motorboats it is necessary to make borrowings of automobile, for a short time only, sir.
11) I'm a one-woman man, and I've had mine, thank God.
Hint: Another quote “You know how it exhausts me to teach books I haven't read.”
Also, this is the newest movie on the list. It is only 34 years old.
12) What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife.
Hint: There’s a barn-raising involved in this musical. Or was that a barn-razing?
13) I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.
Hint: Another quote from this film noir masterpiece “When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it.”
14) You're just not couth!
Hint: The remake, starring a former Working Girl, was nowhere near as good.
15) He looks like a giraffe, and I love him.
Hint: One of two Billy Wilder films on the list. He didn’t direct this one, but he and Charles Brackett did base part of the script on “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
Bonus (Because there’s not a chance that anyone will get it.) That's the kind of a hairpin I am.
Hint: Not James Cagney’s best movie (or even my favorite), but I’ve always loved that quote which is a signature line for his character.
