Stolen from Jan!

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.

2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.

3. Post them here for everyone to guess.

4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.

5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.


1. That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.

2. We have pictures of you so-called mooners. And just because the pictures aren't of your faces doesn't mean we can't identify you. At this very moment those pictures are on their way to Washington where the FBI has experts in this type of identification. If you turn yourselves in now, you may escape a Federal charge.

3. Honey I judge a man more by his heart than the size of his rear. It's likely to do you more good.

4. Was there something about me that you particularly missed? Something that I can feel gratified about depriving you all these years?
- I liked the way we danced...

5. Why is your dog wearing glasses?
- Oh, because his insurance won't pay for contacts.

6. What do you want to marry me for anyhow?
- So I can kiss you anytime I want.

7. The game starts now. You have to score one thousand points. If you do that, you take home a tank with a big gun. Each day we will announce the scores from that loudspeaker. The one who has the fewest points will have to wear a sign that says "Jackass" on his back. There are three ways to lose points. One, turning into a big crybaby. Two, telling us you want to see your mommy. Three, saying you're hungry and want something to eat.

8. Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!

9. Okay. Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
- Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.
It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it. Look, you're really cute, but I can't understand what you're saying. Say the first thing again.

10. The first time he saw him, the colt was walking through the fog at five in the morning. Smith would say later that the horse looked right through him. As if to say, "What the hell are you looking at? Who do you think you are?" He was a small horse, barely fifteen hands. He was hurting too. There was a limp in his walk, a wheezing when he breathed. Smith didn't pay attention to that. He was looking the horse in the eye.

11. Honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love.

12. You can't get pregnant from french-kissing!
- I know that, beetle-brain, but it's common knowledge that if you tongue-kiss a boy, he automatically thinks you'll do the deed with him. They can't help it. They're driven.
Oh? And what deed would that be?
- You know... planting the seed and watering the flower. Isn't that how it works?

13. I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city about two years ago and he told me he was single and we hit it off right away. So, we started living together. He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner. And then I found out. "Single" he told me. Single, my ass. Not only was he married... oh, no, he had six wives. One of those Mormons, you know. So that night, when he came home, I fixed him his drink as usual. You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.

14. You know what your problem is? You are afraid to be in love, you are afraid of losing control, And you know what? I think you are afraid of livin' in my big fat shadow.
- Oh really? Is that what my problem is?
Yes.
- My problem is that it's 2 A.M. My problem is I'm asleep. I'm on a tour bus with eight stinkin' men. Rule number one: Don't propose to a girl on a bus, you got that? Rule number two: Don't tell her it's because you had a bad dream.

15. I'm tired of dating silly, immature little boys. I'd like to meet a sophisticated older guy with a special affinity for rabbits.

Goodluck!

Well, there are good reasons then that I couldn't get the rest. Either never seen them or only once and the once's are a long time ago.
