This is Lazy Blogger Day. I'm stealing a meme off facebook (Lynette's page, actually). I think it could be fun, though--all interactive and stuff. Here's the gist:

A. Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
B. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
C. Post them for everyone to guess.
D. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
E. NO Googling/using IMDb search functions. That's cheating, and it ruins the fun.
F. Don't answer all of them, give some people a chance

So, here we go. Some of these are pretty easy, some are a bit difficult, and a few are expert level only. Good luck!

1. When you're alone, you can make any choice you want. But when someone loves you, you lose that right. I won't give anything away 'til we have it all. I can't.

2. The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky. Amelie Guessed by Kandice.

3. Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you. But I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. August Rush Guessed by Logan.

4. If love was a choice, who would ever choose such exquisite pain? Anna and the King Guessed by Friend of Rumbles.

5. With this hand I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine. The Corpse Bride Guessed by Rumbles.

6. There is nothing more mean and ugly in this world than to have a loving gift, a beautiful spirit, and a desire to give and share these things when there is no one to share them with.

7. Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a f***ed-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.

8. This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather. Groundhog Day Guessed by Jen.

9. Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so that others won't know we want to do them. The Village Guessed by Logan.

10. Manure just happens to be my specialty. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken Guessed by Friend of Rumbles.

11. And God said, "Where the Hell is Tim?" And there the Hell was Tim. And God said, "Let there be doors that open when they open, and close when they close." Noises Off Guessed by Lynette.

12. Don't say a word. Let me talk. You missed me? Because I missed you. You're a real tyrant. It's so hard to be mad at you. But don't kid yourself, I still am. I want to talk and forget the game, just for once. Like my dress? I hesitated. Nabbed it off my sister. She has another red one, like a thermonuclear bombshell... That's the one I should've worn. I must've spent... three hours in front of the mirror. But I got there, see? I'm pretty. You better like it, or I'll kill you!

13. What? I'm being her mother! That's what mothers do with daughters; they talk about how to look prettier. Penelope Guessed by Friend of Rumbles.

14. I believe I've seen hell and it's white, it's snow white. North and South Guessed by Rumbles.

15. There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love. I Capture the Castle Guessed by Kandice.

16. I would die to free our people from the chains of bigotry and superstition. Lady Jane Guessed by Tammy.

17. I carried a watermelon. Dirty Dancing Guessed by Friend of Rumbles.

18. 1) Honor is a private matter within; it's an idea, and every man has his own version of it.
2) How gracefully you tell your king to mind his own business.

19. One thing's for sure, if we don't sell papes, then nobody sells papes. Newsies Guessed by Lynette.

20. You mean you were diagnosed with something called a brain cloud and didn't ask for a second opinion? Joe Versus the Volcano Guessed by Amanda.

21. Ah... well, you know, you go out there and you give a 110%, and you wanna play good, and, you know, you hope you play good... I think we played pretty good tonight! Bedazzled Guessed by Lynette.

22. People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. Serenity Guessed by Rumbles (I knew that's what you meant.)

23. I owe you nothing. And you are nothing to me. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love. Moulin Rouge Guessed by Kelly.

24. Sink me, your highness, it was this damned cravat. Simply refused to tie. I ask you. Sticking out like a pincushion. The Scarlet Pimpernel Guessed by Lynette.

25. I'd like to get in, get on with it, get it over with, and get out. Get it?

So, that's it. My favorite movies, in a nutshell. (Although, granted, there were a few I skipped because I didn't want to have the exact same list as Lynette. Anne of Green Gables, for example, anything by Jane Austen. :) Good luck!
