movie quotes thing
Sixteen movie quotes I'm fond of (either the movie or the quote itself). See if you can identify the movie.
#1:
dawn_guy, guessed Alien, it's Alien3, close enough.
We commit these bodies to the void with a glad heart. For within each seed, there is a promise of a flower, and within each death, no matter how small, there is always a new life. A new beginning.
#2:
tanjent, Dark City.
When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?
#3:
anavolena, North by Northwest
Something wrong with your eyes?
Yes, they're sensitive to questions.
#4: I'm not really into headbanging.
Are you into any kind of banging?
#5:
safetybitch, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
All your life you live so close to truth it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by a grotesque.
#6:
marc17, Fight Club.
you are now firing a gun at your 'imaginary friend' near 400 GALLONS OF NITROGLYCERINE!
#7:
bbcaddict, True Romance.
I always said, if I had to fuck a guy... I mean had to, if my life depended on it... I'd fuck Elvis.
#8: What little I knew about seial killers I learned in a university library. The only thing I knew for certain was that people didn't kill each other in libraries.
#9: The probe? Where does the probe go?
#10:
tanjent
Oh, oh is this like a, is this like a pirate operation?
Do I look like a pirate to you?
#11:
marc17, Apocalypse Now.
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.
#12:
anavolena, Time Bandits.
If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!
#13:
safetybitch, Playing God.
In any case I guess I learned that if you are in the business of saving lives you had better start with your own. And, of course, always call 911.
#14:
rimrunner, Drunken Master.
What does it mean when there's a picture of a skull?
#15:
dawn_guy
A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
#16:
rimrunner, A Clockwork Orange.
No time for the ol' in-out, love. I've just come to read the meter!

#13 Playing God (I hated that movie)
#16 I know someone already got it, but this was my favourite movie for ages. I saw it 56 times one semester. Mostly to scare the hell out of the four catholic sorority girls I was sharing a condo with. It worked.

"I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up."

I expect I'll "of course" when someone gets #1, which feels like Alien but I don't think that could be it given the size of the Nostromo's crew and the prevalence of plurals.
