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.

There is no theme this week, except that [livejournal.com profile] alymid gave me a list of movies

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.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

01 Hey, what are you trying to push on us? [livejournal.com profile] wyngarde says that this is from Star Wars: A New Hope and ya know, that's right
02 Much better then hanging around here with you dorks. [livejournal.com profile] controuble says that this is from Grease and ya know, that's right
03 I wonder what grass tastes like. [livejournal.com profile] exapno says that this is from The Sound Of Music and ya know, that's right
04 It's the new small talk. You do it so awfully well. [livejournal.com profile] jcw_da_dmg says that this is from My Fair Lady and ya know, that's right
05 My dear, never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint. [livejournal.com profile] shsilver says that this is from Mary Poppins and ya know, that's right
06 Then you spend years trying to corrupt and mislead this child, fill his head with nonsense, and still it turns out perfectly fine. [livejournal.com profile] tony_goldmark says that this is from Big Fish and ya know, that's right
07 Can't you let me die in peace once in a while? [livejournal.com profile] fredhuggins says that this is from The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen and ya know, that's right
08 Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death! [livejournal.com profile] selenesue says that this is from Auntie Mame and ya know, that's right
09 Don't stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector; it was beeping all night. [livejournal.com profile] jabber says that this is from Garden State and ya know, that's right
10 I'm about as flamboyant as a bagel. [livejournal.com profile] jrittenhouse says that this is from Fame and ya know, that's right
11 All I want for Christmas is you. [livejournal.com profile] ka_klick says that this is from Love Actually and ya know, that's right
12 I like the comradely sense of turning pages someone else turned and reading passages someone long-gone has called my attention to. [livejournal.com profile] lostncove says that this is from 84 Charing Cross Road and ya know, that's right
13 The only true currency in this bankrupt world, is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.
14 I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way drivers never look at the road in old movies.. [livejournal.com profile] greenmansgrove says that this is from Amelie and ya know, that's right

I am not going to guess any of them - its actually embarrassing how few of the quotes I can identify even from some of my favorite films. But its not really part of my top skill set.

I have to admit I think it is interesting *which* quotes from which movies you picked. Someday i think I'd like to know how you pick the quotes.

I will say that #13 is one of my favorite lines by one of my favorite actors - sort of a nice triple whammy

I think 04 is My Fair Lady; although it could also be Pygmalion (they have a lot of lines in common).

#14 is Amalie. I didn't figure it out until Alyse (who gave me no hints) read it out loud to me when I asked which ones hadn't been guessed yet.

13. Sounds like it could be from something like, "Almost Famous", but that's just a guess...
