I’m running a little late on this but here it is. Been tagged recently by Dave Anaxagoras for a list of my Top 15 Favorite Movie Quotes. There are way too many to list as my favorite but here are a variety of some of my tastes wrapped up into a 15 quote collection.
Here are the rules:
Look up 15 of your favorite films on IMDB and take a quote from each. List them below. When someone guesses the quote correctly, cross it off the list. NO CHEATING.
Leave a comment with your answer.
Some of these may be obvious, some not so obvious. Just a caveat, not every quote here is listed on IMDb. A highlighted quote denotes a correct answer with film and commenter to follow. Here they are:
Correct so far: 7 out of 15
1. “Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy.” - Stripes [Phil]
2. “The cats in the bag and the bag’s in the river.”
3. “I don’t wanna badmouth the kid, but he’s a horrible, dishonest, immoral louse. And I say that with all due respect.”
