3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

10. Blade Runner.
15. Um, it's not Das Boot, is it?
20. The Matrix.

I swear I recognise some others, but I just can't remember, argh!

[evilawyer.livejournal.com]

***waves hello at you and says*** The most memorable line from Das Boot for me (non-German speaker that I am) is "I am in no condition to fuck."

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's a great one too.:)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

10 - Yup
15 - Nope, but I know exactly the bit of the film you're thinking of.
20 - Of course, and the best part of the whole film is the little grimace he gives as he says it. :)

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

The bit after Johan goes off his rocker, yes?

And Agent Smith is the best part of the Matrix!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the bit I was thinking of. And I only sat through the two Matrix sequels for Agent Smith; it isn't so much the lines as the lines, the tone and the facial expression combined.

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

The first movie was actually a great story, even if I had some serious moral issues, with it, the second was sort of all right, the third doesn't exist!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Quite right about the third one...I really like the first one, even if I acknowledge that a lot of what I like about it just appeals to my adolescent liking for explosions and shootouts and people doing kung fu to each other. I agree with your misgivings; it's the old action movie thing, isn't it - the guards/employees sitting around having their coffee break, little suspecting that certain death in the form of Our Heroes is approaching...How do we know they're Our Heroes? Well, it's in the script. I like the first Austin Powers movie's take on this, where it cuts from some guard meeting a nasty end to his friends/family receiving the bad news ("he was decapitated by a mutated sea bass?!"). Morpheus and his gang were really just another faction of violent revolutionaries, caring little for how many dead bodies they had to climb over to realise their cause.

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

I'll admit I tend to zone out during fight scenes. I was much more interested in the whole Matrix ''mythology''.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Very sensible; without wanting to stereotype, I guess that all of those guns and punch-ups and exploding helicopters are sort of boys' things - unfortunately, I am sort of a boy in that respect...:) The Matrix mythology is actually very interesting, before it goes completely overboard in the third film - it sort of rendered the first film a bit pointless and left me going wha? huh? why? how? who?

[clocketpatch]

"Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond - it may be your last."

hmmm... I wonder... could it be a Bond movie? I'm going to say Goldfinger because I watched it recently-ish and the quote seems fresh enough in my memory for there to be a connect; but really, all of the Bond movies have a tendency to run together for me.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I'll let you have it; it is Goldfinger's best line in the film, even better than "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"; it's the way he says it. Was recently shocked to discover that the guy's voice was dubbed because of his strong German accent.

[shaxophile.livejournal.com]

8 is Terminator for sure. Is 16 The Blues Brothers?

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

8 - Yep - I was going to use "Phased plasma rifle in der 40 vatt range," but decided not.
16 - And yep again.

[evilawyer.livejournal.com]

1. Excalibur (Merlin to Arthur re: Morgana; and it's it weird looking at Merlin nowadays and seeing little bits of his younger self in his old face?)
3. Goldfinger

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

1. Correct - fantastic film. Mental, but fantastic.
3. Also right.
And you're doubly correct about the most memorable line in Das Boot again.

[biichan.livejournal.com]

16. Blues Brothers?

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed it is!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I wasn't being wilfully obscure with some of the above, honest. Some clues:

1. One of the remaining is another Arnie Schwarzenegger film.
2. There are two Clint Eastwood films up there.
3. There are not one but two former Doctors somewhere in the remaining films.
4. There's a submarine film, but not Das Boot.

[clocketpatch]

That is a clue... Argh, I've a good idea of what some of the remaining movies must be (and where those two Doctors are) but I'll be darned if I can remember what quote goes with which, and I don't have enough time to watch the movie to find out... starts with a 'W' though doesn't it? ;)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...you could well be right... :)

[evilawyer.livejournal.com]

I hope this doesn't count as cheating, as I was transferring a videotape to DVD and wasn't listening closely enough to the dialog at the moment to be sure I heard it above the balalaikas, but is 9 perhaps The Third Man?

As for 15, the only thing that comes to mind is "The Madness of King George", but that doesn't seem right.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

9 - Correct - a film with too many good lines; that was one that stuck in my head for some reason.

15 - No. You have to imagine the line spoken in this calm, cheerful sort of monotone...

[episkopos.livejournal.com]

Oooh oooh 17 is Withnail and I.

I know 14, I know I do, but I can't remember...

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

17 - Correct - it was hard to think of a quote from that one that people wouldn't just instantly recognise.

14 - Clue: the line gets spoken inside a lift.

[clocketpatch]

I KNEW WITHNAIL AND I WAS UP THERE SOMEWHERE!

I'm going to guess (shot in the dark) that 11 belongs to 'The Hunt for Red October'

Now, I haven't actually -seen- the movie, but from what I know of you it's got to be up there -somewhere- and that quote seems the most likely just based on what the movie's about.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Oh no...I didn't inadvertently share my love for Hunt for Red October with DbyA or the whole of lj did I?! You're correct; it's a film I love without really being able to say why. The line in question is a bit daft, but worth it for the way Sean Connery (the only Scot in the Soviet Navy!) pronounces "Yuri Gagarin". Brilliant. XD

I'm going to give in and post the answers to the ones that haven't been guessed yet, just to see people going "no fair!" I didn't think they were obscure, honest; maybe I'm just too old! XD
