Round II

[hackthis_archive]

1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.



1. The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. *Leon, guessed by random_flores

2. My girlfriend went out one night and came back married. I told everyone that I didn't care and I beat a suspect unconscious, fucked five women in three days, and drove my car the wrong way on an off-ramp. But I was okay. *The Thomas Crown Affair, guessed by ranaeros

3. One scoop of creamed potatoes. A slice of butter. Four peas. And as much ice cream as you'd like to eat. *Secretary, guessed by ambyr

4.What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. What up with that? *The Long Kiss Goodnight, guessed by violetsmiles

5. All I can say is, they did right by me -- and I'm bringin' me and a mess of flowers to their funeral. *Bonnie and Clyde, guessed by storydivagirl

6. At the beep please leave your name, number and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma and we'll get back to you. *Reality Bites, guessed by marginalia

7. The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. *My Fair Lady, guessed by qe2

8. I've got two jobs. I've discovered that you have to work twice as hard when it's honest. *Gone in 60 Seconds, guessed by storydivagirl

9. Everyone can't be straight. Everyone can't be beautiful. Everyone can't be the same, Patrick. Some people are just gay and average. We're the strongest I think. *The Broken Hearts Club, guessed by jonem and qe2

10. Well, I've gotta go. I've got a government job to abuse, and a lonely wife to fuck. Face/Off, guessed by violetsmiles

11. Love is the answer, isn't it? But, sex raises a lot of very interesting questions. *Kinsey, guessed by zeelee_penguin

12. "People"? I ain't "people." I am a - "a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema firmament." *Singin' in the Rain, guessed by angel_grace and qe2



I have one quote left after twenty minutes, that's better than the last set. Go me! I have been defeated at last. Ah me, well I shall go lick my wounds and watch the O.C. while on cold drugs.

1. The Professional, or Leon. :-D

[jonem.livejournal.com]

Aha! No1 is the inestimable Mr Jean Reno and Natalie Portman in Leon. I still haven't got my copy back from a friend...

[vylit.livejournal.com]

4. The Long Kiss Goodnight
8. Gone in Sixty Seconds.
10. Face Off.

Mmm... Nicholas Cage and girls who kick ass.

[jonem.livejournal.com]

I should know 5. It's a gangster one, possibly The Untouchables? *bangs head against wall*. It'll come to me.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

# 5 is Bonnie and Clyde! Sadly, that's the only one is this group I know.

[jonem.livejournal.com]

Well done you! I couldn't remember that one for the life of me!

[rossywar.livejournal.com]

I want to say no. 2 is Bad Boys, but I know that's wrong! I hope someone guesses it soon.

omg I just noticed your default icon! Is that the wonderful Ford Prefect I'm looking at?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That is Mos Def, rapper, actor, poet, and yes, also Ford Prefect. But he's also the host of Russell Simmons' Def Poetry on HBO and he's been in a few films.

[plumsnickety.livejournal.com]

I don't know what No. 4 is, but god, does it sound amazingly like Ray and Fraser. Hee.

[silverakira.livejournal.com]

[DIES]

Okay, that just made my day.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You should write that story, I think.

[plumsnickety.livejournal.com]

Yeah, anybody that's not me needs to write it. I just wrote ds & gnomes, and gnomes trump muffins and sailors in any court.

[jonem.livejournal.com]

My sister knows No.2, but won't tell. She says to mention Pierce Brosnan. It's not that awful one with the nuclear bomb on the train, is it?

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

Oh! Is it Thomas Crown Affair?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ah ha! I have been defeated at last. Go Rana!

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

I know two Pierce Brosnan movies, and it certainly wasn't The Nephew. *G*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*cracks up*

[jonem.livejournal.com]

Sis thinks so. It can't be Brosnan, though - I'm pretty sure I'd remember that!

[jonem.livejournal.com]

Further to that, after much wrestling and blackmail threats, she revealed that she's almost certain it was a policeman talking to Rene Russo. She also wants credit.
