they said what?

I've tried to resist, but I cannot help it. I just love movie quotes too much. And though I wouldn't call all these movies my favourites, they are all films I've seen more than twice.

1. Last of the Mohicans - LOVE THAT LINE
5. Galaxy Quest

baleanoptera February 26 2008, 19:59:37 UTC

Yes on both accounts! Regarding quote one - I love that line too. I think it is one of my favourite in the whole film.

2. The Breakfast Club! I watched that just the other day. *g*

10. Aw, back at the beginning of things. The Bourne Identity?

baleanoptera February 26 2008, 21:16:36 UTC

Yes and yes! :) Ah, the sweet innocence of The Bourne Identity - aka the film where Jason Bourne still smiled and before the epic man!pain manifested itself. Love them all though.

Hee, meganbmoore always has her Bourne-Damon-angst posts and icon, and I still haven't seen 2 or 3. While I know the movies are loosely based on fundamental idea of the books, I still have a hangup about READ then WATCH these. I should probably just get over it.

baleanoptera February 27 2008, 12:10:47 UTC

Hee. I think with Bourne it is safe to just skip the books. I've read the first book and it is basically a different story. There are a few similarities such as the amnesiac spy plot and the frantic travelling to discover the truth. And as far as I can make out the plot in film 2 & 3 differ even more from the books. So, just watch the film and enjoy the angst that is Bourne. ;)

Is #3 from Casablanca?

baleanoptera February 27 2008, 05:29:19 UTC

Yes it is! Now I love Bogart, but it is Claude Rains and his Captain Renault who is the highlight of that film for me.

I'm pathetically ignorant, because I don't know any of them. *sigh*

baleanoptera February 27 2008, 12:07:27 UTC

Or maybe the quotes are just a bit obscure. I actually chose not to include the more famous of my favourites like LOTR and such, as I wanted to make it a bit difficult. So take comfort in that. ;)

And I love that icon so!

Thank you. It's one of my favorites, too.

Hee. To be honest I would have been a bit miffed had you not been able to guess #1.;D And #6 is correct! Yay you for getting that!
