Film quote quiz

[nmg]

Shamelessly stolen from mr_tom:

1. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a nose for a nose. I don't know what the Hell that means, but it sounds brilliant.
2. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw ****** pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
   Ferris Bueller's Day Off
3. Do you know the meaning of propriety?
4. Shoot it off! Shoot! With the gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!
5. Do you believe, Mr. Martins, in the stream of consciousness?
   The Third Man
6. What would you have done if you were just getting out of the Army, if you'd been away from the real world for four years, if you weren't sure what kind of law you wanted to practice, and then one day you got a call from an old friend asking you to go to work for the President of the United States?
7. How can they walk on these things? How do they keep their balance?
   Must be the way their weight is distributed.
   Some Like It Hot
8. A young man trying to impress beyond his abilities. Too much spice. Too many notes.
   Amadeus
9. Moon, American, Floyd, Heywood, R.
   2001: A Space Odyssey
10. Bunch of savages in this town.
    Clerks

#9 is easy; 2001, a space odyssey.
#2 is Ferris Beuller's day off.

The rest seem familiar...

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Heh. I was assuming that most people wouldn't remember the name of the main character from 9 (what am I saying? all my friends are SF fans!)

Correct on both counts.

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

Is 10 from Clerks?

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Yep. Well done.

I am embarrassed..

..apart from 2001,lready got (and I didn't get Ferris! AAAARgh!), I can only imagine that 8 is Shine, or 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould or even Amadeus. They're all probably wrong. Shows how long I've been away from a TV doesn't it?

One REALLY has to get the impetus up to watch a DVD on a PC...

Re: I am embarrassed..

[nmg.livejournal.com]

No, it's one of those three.

Re: I am embarrassed..

[killtest.livejournal.com]

Amadeus (oh here we go.. process-of-elimination-funnies..)

:o)

Re: I am embarrassed..

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Amadeus it is...

[ias.livejournal.com]

'Fraid the say the only I can get straight off is no. 5 which is The Third Man

[nmg.livejournal.com]

That's the one.

[hsw.livejournal.com]

No 7 is Some Like it Hot, walking down the train platform in drag, but which one I can't remember. And No. 8 is from Amadeus.

H

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Both right. I'm not sure who gets which line in no. 7 - will have to look it up.

[swisstone.livejournal.com]

7 is Some Like It Hot, and 9 must be 2001.

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Right, and right.

2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
8. Amadeus
10. Clerks

quote 10 reminded me of this which you may or may not have already seen from boing boing

a very silly parody of clerks as if randal and dante were both editors of boing boing
