Movie Quiz 5

December 1, 2006 - -

Okay, here's your fifth movie quote quiz, and I think this is the hardest one yet. The second half of these are ones I probably wouldn't have gotten myself if I wasn't doing research to find them. Good luck.

  1. "She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?"
  2. "Last week, class, we discussed the geography of Main Street. This week we're going to be talking about Elm Street."
  3. "Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him."
  4. "On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?"
  5. "I tell you one thing that really drives me nuts, is people who think that Jethro Tull is just a person in a band."
  6. "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand things with alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures."
  7. "Look at this. It's worthless - ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless."
  8. "Law one. You will obey orders without question. Law two: Punishment shall be swift. Law three: Mercy is for the weak. Four: Terror will defeat reason..."
  9. "The brutal is now in fourth hour of unconscious sleep. It's astonishing that Homo Sapiens spends so much time in this vulnerable condition, at the mercy of its enemies."
  10. "Say Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plate so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?"

Amazing. Other than Number Two (which has already been answered), I've got nothing.

Wow. I guess I made them too hard.
Here are the answers.

  1. "She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?" - This is Norman Bates from Psycho with what I thought would be the only line here that everyone would know.

  2. "Last week, class, we discussed the geography of Main Street. This week we're going to be talking about Elm Street." - PMD got it. It's Pleasantville.

  3. "Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him." - This is from Dazed and Confused.

  4. "On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?" - Spoken by Tom Hanks in The Green Mile. Great movie.

  5. "I tell you one thing that really drives me nuts, is people who think that Jethro Tull is just a person in a band." - PMD got this one too. Great Owen Wilson line from Armageddon.

  6. "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand things with alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures." - Classic Ash, from Army of Darkness.

  7. "Look at this. It's worthless - ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless." - Brandon got this one. Raiders of The Lost Ark.

  8. "Law one. You will obey orders without question. Law two: Punishment shall be swift. Law three: Mercy is for the weak. Four: Terror will defeat reason..." - This one was pretty hard. It's from that horrible movie The Postman.

  9. "The brutal is now in fourth hour of unconscious sleep. It's astonishing that Homo Sapiens spends so much time in this vulnerable condition, at the mercy of its enemies." - This was a really tough one. Ever seen Zardoz?

  10. "Say Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plate so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?" - An obscure quote from Fargo.


So next time, I'll know not to make the quotes quite so obscure.

Oops, I guess I should have looked at the comments first before I posted, I didn't want to be influenced by other peoples responses though, haha.
