Ok, has this jumped the shark yet?

I tried not to repeat movies. (much) I also had to avoid movies that several people reading this blog would instantly recgonize any line of...

1. Pick 15 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly in the comments, and put who correctly identified the film.
5. NO Googling or using IMDb search functions.


1. "I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue" --Casablanca (Jerm)

2. “You don't hold elected office in this town. You run it because people think you do. They stop thinking it you stop running it.”
"
 --Miller's Crossing (Drain)

3. “I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.” --The Shawshank Redemption (Mark)

4. “If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.”

5. “Dry martini. Wait... three measures of Gordon's; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel." --Casino Royale (Cory)

6. “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” --Stand By Me (Angie)

7. “Oh, make no mistake. It's not revenge he's after. It's a reckoning.” --Tombstone (Angie)

8. “There is a clause in the contract which specifically states any systematized transmission indicating a possible intelligent origin must be investigated.” --Alien (Jerm)

9. “But it didn't fall. You caught it. The fact that you prevented it from happening doesn’t change the fact that it was going to happen.”
 --Minority Report (Jerm)

10. “28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds. That... is when the world... will end.” --Donnie Darko (James)

Wow - I've actually seen most of these movies and I can't remember these lines - I must do a total brain dump after seeing these things.

Thank God for Drain! I was really worried that nobody would get the Miller's Crossing quote.
