I had so much fun with this before that I decided to do it again! You guys are just too good!
RULES:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies. Or movies that you have seen
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to GUESS (please don't Google it or do a search on IMDB--what's the fun in that?).
4. When someone guesses correctly, put who guessed it and the movie.
1. I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all? Ironman kalea_kane
2. Cassie, his heart will stop at the sight of you, or he doesn't deserve to live. And, yes, I am aware of the contradiction embodied in that sentence.
3. The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Ruth
4. I don't LIKE food. I LOVE it. If I don't love it, I don't SWALLOW. Ratatouille Danica/Dream and Charity Lane (Facebook)
5. Just one bite, one scratch from these creatures is sufficient. And then, you become one of them.
6. She wouldn't want me to. That's the only reason you're alive.
7. This is his war. Viktor's. And he spent the last 600 years exterminating my species. Underworld Nancy the Romancechick
8. I gotta wonder what a kind of a bastard I must have been, that nobody was there to claim me. I mean, I am not the most charming guy in the world, so I've been told, but... nobody? Hancock Kristi
9. A few days in space. What's the worst that could happen? The Fantastic Four Kristi
10. This ship *is* England.
11. I can't believe that you have had sex with the woman staying in my house! The Holliday Ruth
12. Aah! Guido! There is a real Michael Schumacher Ferrari in my store! A real Ferrari! Punch me, Guido! Punch me in the face! This is the most glorious day of my life! Cars Violetcrush
13. You waited. The Lake House Ruth
14. We'll leave you alone, but we'll be listening from the kitchen so talk loud.
15. You're haughty, and you always say the wrong thing in every situation and I seriously believe that you should rethink the length of your sideburns. Bridget Jones Amy @ Experience Imagination
