I saw this on shrads_m ’s blog and loved it.  And did a ctrl-c, ctrl-v, except for the actual quotes! I also reduced the original number of 20 movies to 10 (I didn’t have twenty favorite movies!) Hope you like this meme. Here’s how it works:

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put the title of the movie and who guessed it.
5. No Googling/using IMDB search functions. That’s cheating and it ruins the fun!

These then, are the quotes from my favorite movies.  Happy guessing!

1. From the moment we enter this life, we are in the flow of it [the time]. We measure it and we mark it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we ? Have we not each experienced the sensation… that a beautiful moment seemed to pass too quickly… and wished that we could make it linger ? Or felt time slow on a dull day… and wished that we could speed things up a bit ?

2. What kind of place is this? It’s beautiful: Pigeons fly, women fall from the sky! I’m moving here!

3. I never fked anybody over in my life that didn’t have it coming to ‘em. You got that? All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don’t break ‘em for no one. You understand? That piece of st up there, I never liked him, I never trusted him. For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed. But that’s history. I’m here, he’s not. You wanna go on with me, you say it. You don’t, then you make a move.

4. I’d like to share a revelation I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.

5. No, you’re wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where’s your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you’re changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I’ll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I’d buy half a dozen and even get a discount!

6.  You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you.  He never wanted you.  In all probability, he hates you.  This is not the worst thing that can happen. We don’t need Him. Fk damnation, man, fk redemption! If we are God’s unwanted children, so be it!

7.  I know you hurtin’ and worryin’. I can feel it on you. But you oughta quit on it now. I want it over and done with. I do. I’m tired, boss. Tired of bein’ on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I’m tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we’s going to, or coming from, or why. Mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There’s too much of it. It’s like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?

8.  You know, it’s funny what a young man recollects. ‘Cause I don’t remember being born. I, I don’t recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But, I do remember the first time I heard the sweetiest voice in the wide world.

9.  You see, I’m a musician of sorts on my way to give a very special performance.

10. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting…protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there’s more to them than meets the eye.
