10's gotta be a clockwork orange. the verb gives it away.

[solri.livejournal.com]

It does indeed.

i feel like such a cinemalliterate!

The only ones I recognize are Nos. 9 and 13 (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Karate Kid), but they weren't even obscure!

Re: i feel like such a cinemalliterate!

[solri.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you didn't get the other Monty Python one.

Re: i feel like such a cinemalliterate!

I think I only saw "The Life of Brian" once or twice. I just didn't get into it like I got into "Holy Grail," the latter of which actually saw me doing horribly geeky things like memorizing full scenes of dialogue, etc.

1 - Aliens
3-Incredibles
11-War Games
12-Life Of Brian

15 - Highlander?

[solri.livejournal.com]

All correct apart from 3.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, I googled on 3, but the only page that came up was a guide to Mozilla I wrote years ago. That should give you a clue.

[cassielsander.livejournal.com]

Something with Godzuki in it, then? The only title I can think of is the all-time classic: Operation Destroy All Monsters.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Getting closer ...

[wisewoman.livejournal.com]

Is #5 from the Johnny Depp movie, Dead Man? Huh, not a very inspired guess, given the line!

;o)

[solri.livejournal.com]

No, it's a Curt Russell movie.

Escape from New York?

[blorky.livejournal.com]

#5 is from "Escape from New York".
4- "Dirty Dancing" - wouldn't have gotten it w/o the "Baby".
I know 7, but can't place the movie - I've seen it in the last 90 days.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Yep. "We thought you were ... dead" used to be a catchphrase in our RPG group back in Leeds. Somehow the gamesmaster always managed to have a Snake Plisskin character turn up.

[asteriskhere.livejournal.com]

#4, Dirty Dancing. Also featuring the extremely well known: "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"

[dtlw.livejournal.com]

Nobody got number 2 yet????

[solri.livejournal.com]

Well it had to be you or Rodney who got it, and you beat him to it.

[bram.livejournal.com]

Perhaps number 7 is from a Kevin Smith movie?

How about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

It's got to have enough academic consciousness to know what women's studies is and also to have a character dumb enough to say number 7.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Your close, but it's not Kevin Smith.

[solri.livejournal.com]

Oops, "you're".
