Welcome to the working week (no that's not a hint)

[ericcoleman]

Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.
If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

There is at least one that I think may stump people outright ... but a lot of you should know (or at least have seen) a lot of these.

01 I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason. mike46 got this one, The Day The Earth Stood Still (Still my vote for the greatest SF movie of all time)
02 This isn't paper, it's some kind of metal! pheltzer got this one, This Island Earth (even with one word missing)
03 Here's the sixty-four dollar question - what do you do with a vegetable? shsilver got this one, The Thing From Another Planet
04 We had to dig him out from under the most peculiar things I ever saw. shsilver got this one, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
05 I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.. partiallyclips got this one, 2001: A Space Odyssey
06 You are a menace. A walking pestilence. wyngarde got this one, Planet Of The Apes
07 He is the result of the stupidity of the men of your century. You failed to stamp out lawlessness and in the end the criminal became stronger than the law. mike46 got this one, Buck Rogers, either the original serial or the cut down movie version.
08 By the grace of God, and the name of the United States of America, I take possession of this planet on behalf of, and for the benefit of, all mankind. selenesue got this one, Destination Moon
09 You know when I was a kid, I put a note into a bottle and it had my name and address on it. And then I threw the bottle into the ocean. And I never knew if anybody ever found it. 1phish2phish got this one, Silent Running
10 David Copperfield. Chapter one. I am born. Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. (and no, it's not David Copperfield that I'm looking for). bibliofile got this one, Fahrenheit 451

#2 is Island Earth

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

i must admit to being stumped on the quotes. (i'll probably feel quite foolish after i've googled them.)

but is the theme sci-fi?

[emiofbrie.livejournal.com]

"This isn't paper, it's some kind of metal!"

MIKE NELSON (as the assistant): No, that's paper!

;)

[pheltzer.livejournal.com]

I assumed he wanted the original source

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

No. 8: Destination Moon.

I think the real first words on the moon were much better than that, but they had more time to script those. [snerk] Who wrote THAT script anyway? I mean, how corny, "Neil Armstrong, All American Boy, and his faithful sidekick Buzz"? If you submitted something like that today, the editors would laugh you out of the office.

[barondave.livejournal.com]

I nearly recognize several of these, so I'm going to say the theme is Science Fiction movies. Oh, okay, one semi-random guess: 3. Day of the Tryffyds.

[singlemaltsilk.livejournal.com]

#7: Demolition Man?

[mike46.livejournal.com]

Since I just read the comments and noticed someone already answered #2, I'll say that #1 is from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

And you were correct

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

Yup ...

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[ericcoleman]

Bamm beatcha to the theme ... and your guess is not correct ... it's another movie with a vegetable as the villian

This is the one that I figgered would be hard ...

[ericcoleman]

I'm sorry, that is not correct (but it would fit well)

We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[barondave.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll save a Veggie Tale guess for later. In the meantime, another stab in the ebony dark: 7. The Time Machine.

I knew this one would be hard

[ericcoleman]

No I'm sorry, that is not correct.

Re: Yup ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

and indeed, i feel quite the silly girl. some of those are beloved classics.

ah well. there's always next week. :)

BING !!!

(and you kept the right one, the other was wrong)

#10 is Gone With the Wind.

[ericcoleman]

SO close ...

well ... no ... not really

[mplsfish.livejournal.com]

Technically it is in GWTW. I'll concede that it may not be the one you were looking for.

[mike46.livejournal.com]

Darn it, I think I know what you're looking for for #10, but I already answered ..... I'll just have to wait until after midnite.

[bibliofile.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen half of these -- good thing that I didn't get to be a Jeopardy! contestant, much less one when a category was "Sci-Fi Films of the '50s."

I think, from the context, that #10 might be from Fahrenheit 451. What a terrible book (F451) to read when you're working in a used bookstore where you can buy books for a quarter. I haven't had enough shelf space, since.

[drawshad.livejournal.com]

10 is Gone with the Wind.

[drawshad.livejournal.com]

Ooops... someone has already answered that :)

[ericcoleman]

They do the intro from David Copperfield in GWTW ???

Weird

We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

And a killer guess I must say ...

[ericcoleman]

And 10 has been answered ... was it what you were thinking ???

[mplsfish.livejournal.com]

It is when the men flok are all out at the "political meeting" that is really an lynching, and the women are trying to stay calm and appear normal. Miss Mely readd David Copperfield aloud. they use the chapters to let us know how long they have been sitting there.
More than you maybe wanted to know. I was not the only one to guess it. Upon examination, it doesn't fit the theme AT ALL. That would be a cool movie. GWTW with added aliens.

[ericcoleman]

Right after I answered there I remembered the scene ...

[mike46.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Fahrenheit 451. I'm pretty sure I found #3 as I was watching my nightly dose of 50's sci-fi/monster movies. If it's still open in the morning, I'll guess.

[ericcoleman]

Go for it ...
