Your LJ meme for today, shamelessly purloined from faxpaladin:

A. Pick 16 of your favorite movies.
B. Pick a favorite quote from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is without Googling, you cheating bastards. (And no fair using IMDB.com, either!)*
E. Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser’s username directly after the quote.
*Bonus points for each quote wherein you can also identify any of the following: the speaking character, the actor playing him/her, the scene, the character[s] spoken to and/or the actor[s] playing the spoken-to character.

1. "I feel like the floor of a taxicab." max_bialystock (About time! I was wondering when someone in this crowd would remember that one.)

2. "Don't expect miracles; I'm changing my name to Susan B. Anthony." allisona and max_bialystock (Congrats! I didn't think anyone but me still remembered that film.)

3. "What does it mean—'Exact Change'?" allisona (Guess that one was a gimme for this crowd, too, huh? Shoulda known.)

4. "Ab-so-lute-ly badasses! Let's pack 'em in!" ALIENS (1986) -- Sgt. Apone (Al Matthews), as he inspects his platoon of Colonial Marines prior to their boarding the Sulaco's drop-shuttle and landing in the alien-infested colony on planet LV-426.

5. "You're looking at the sole stockholder."  scifantasy (Very good!)

6. "This isn't flying. This is falling with style." allisona and scifantasy both! (Looks like I was right; in this crowd, that one IS a gimme.)

7. "Unfortunately for you all, the plans are about to be changed." max_bialystock ("But what about the sheets?! You never change the f&$#ing sheets!!" --sorry, longtime midnight-screening reflex.)

8. "The Jews taught me this wonderful word: 'schmuck.' I was a schmuck, and now I'm not a schmuck." SCROOGED (1988) -- Frank Cross (Bill Murray), to his disgruntled, shotgun-toting former employee Elliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait), in Cross' Manhattan office after his final visit from the Ghosts on Christmas Eve.

9. "Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you; it would take only the merest nudge to make you like me—to push you out of the light." max_bialystock

10. "We may not earn an honest living, but we're one hundred percent Americans." THE ROCKETEER (1991) -- Gangster Eddie Valentine (Paul Sorvino), to Cliff "The Rocketeer" Secord (Billy Campbell) as they join forces with U.S. government agents to stop the fleeing Nazis led by actor/spy Neville Sinclair (Timothy Dalton).

11. "Could someone please get this walking carpet out of my way?" allisona and scifantasy both, again.

12. "You have been drinking your whiskey from Kentucky." max_bialystock (Good on ya, mate!)

13. "How many times have I told you never to interrupt me when I'm WORKING?!?" YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) -- Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) to Frau Blücher (NEIGH!) (Cloris Leachman) as she calls to him up on the lab's elevated platform, where he and Inga (Teri Garr) are having a post-coital smoke.
(Interesting trivia tidbit: This is the only one of Mel Brooks' films where Brooks himself does NOT have an onscreen role or cameo, though he does provide the offscreen voices of the elder Baron von Frankenstein, a werewolf and a cat.)

14. "Now that's what I call a close encounter." scifantasy

15. "Elvis didn't die; he just went home." (Co-star to the speaker of #14 above in this film, but this quote is not in the same film as #14.) scifantasy, max_bialystock

16. "A little souvenir from the old home town. I spared no expense to make you feel right at home." max_bialystock

(Answers not guessed within one week will be posted here immediately thereafter.) (It's Wednesday and nobody's posted any more. I got tired of waiting.)

Ah, but in what scenes? (evil grin)

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

5) The climax, as Doom reveals that Cloverleaf Industries (which he owns) has bought the Red Line buses to dismantle them.
11) On the Death Star, after the trash compactor, as Our Heroes regroup and head back for the Millennium Falcon.
15) In the Queens Midtown Tunnel, while driving on the roof, K pops in an eight-track of "Promised Land."

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Wow! Color me impressed. (Are you sure it was an 8-track? I coulda sworn it was a CD.) But you missed your other two:

6) TOY STORY - Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen) to Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) as they fall to the street from the moving truck in the car-chase scene.

14) INDEPENDENCE DAY - Capt. Steve Hiller (Will Smith), to the E.T. he has just punched out in the desert after finally taking down the E.T.'s fighter and opening it up.

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

On Toy Story I couldn't remember who had voiced whom, and on Independence Day I didn't know the name of Will Smith's character. With a few exceptions, Will Smith's characters are always "Will Smith's Characters."

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

You mean the Red *Car*. And they weren't buses, they were streetcars (what you non-N'Awlins types would call "trolleys").

Oh, and I didn't get #3, allisona did.

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Sorry, my bad. With this format, it's hard to keep straight who got what when you have to keep one page open with the answers and another with the editing interface (the latter does not let you view the replies while editing in the same page).

[allisona.livejournal.com]

I -love- "Time After Time". Such a fun movie and I watch it any chance I get.

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

And isn't it fascinating how different Malcolm McDowell looks and acts these days? You'd never know it was the same guy who played a young, naive H. G. Wells once upon a time.

>>11. Star Wars
I've been too lenient with both you guys on this one. *Which* "Star Wars"? There are six films in the series now, remember; you need to be more specific. Otherwise no pedant/geek cred for you. :-)

[shelleybear.livejournal.com]

Episode 4
You are so cheap.
No credit for getting most of the ones everyone else missed?

16: Lex Luthor right after he doses Clarke with krytonite

9:Belaque to Indy in the bar/restaurant

12: The Russian mission commander to Heywood Floyd

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

You most certainly do get credit for guessing the ones most all others missed (some of them, anyhow). Now, for extra credit:
- Name the actors playing Dr. René Belloq and Captain Tanya Kirbuk (the Russian you mentioned).
- Name the scene where Kirbuk says her line to Floyd and the scene where Belloq says his line to Indy.
- Who played Dr. Floyd? (C'mon, I know you know this one!) And if you REALLY wanna show some geek wizardry, tell me who played him in the *first* film.

[shelleybear.livejournal.com]

Kirbuk was played by Helen Mirren.
Not long after one of the cosmonauts gets thrown into space by the monolith.
Roy Schieder in "2010"
Leonard (Reginald Perrin) Rossiter in "2001"
I had to look up the actor who played Belloq in IMDB so I won't count that.
I said before he and indy are in some sort of a bar discussing archeology.
It inspired someone I know (I think it was Kevin Duane to say "You see this boy scout? as he is now totally useless. But bury him in the sand for a few hundred years. Dig him up, and STILL totally useless."
And when are you going to try my meme?

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

I did try yours and was hopelessly stumped. I bow to your superior filmic knowledge.

But yer WRONG about the first Dr. Floyd! The late William Sylvester played him in 2001: A Space Odyssey. (I checked with IMDB to be sure.) So there. Neener. :-P However, Rossiter was indeed in 2001, playing a Russian scientist.

Kirbuk is actually talking with Floyd after he has encountered the being claiming to be Dave Bowman, when Floyd boards the Leonov (defying orders from Washington) to tell her about it and outline his plan for getting both ships the hell outta Dodge before Bowman's 2-day deadline. This is what prompts her remark. (And boy, does this film have a problem now that it is 2006 and the Cold War and the Soviet Union have both been extinct for several years!)

And Belloq is in a bar with Indy, after (Indy thinks) Marion has been killed in the truck explosion at the bazaar.
