Can You Guess These Movies?

I got this from Camy Tang.

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.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.


TWO LEFT!

1. Is our little prince uncomfortable? Does he want his pillow fluffed? Special treatment for the special boy! Isn't that what you wanted?

C. J. Darlington - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

2. Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever.

C.K. Gilkes - Ocean's 11

3. I don't know what you boys were thinkin'. Them pigs are like people too. They just can't talk like you and me.

4. Indeed. I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift.

Anonymous - The Fellowship of the Ring

5. Yes. Because, let's be honest, it's a field. Look, do you see another world out there? No, you see a field. Do you see anything non-human? No. And you know why? Because it's a field!

C.K. Gilkes - Stardust

6. Mama, there is a painful difference between the expectation of an unpleasant event and its final certainty.

7. How could I forget about you? You're the only person I know.

Brett - The Bourne Identity

8. Now, to lure him out of the house... I know! I'll blow it up! Yes! Yes, and... uh... no... no. That won't work. Then he'll be dead. Oh, I know! I'll turn him into a duck! Yes, it's so evil! Oh... I don't know how to do that... and I don't really need a duck... this may be harder than I thought.

Brett - Meet the Robinsons

9. I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.

Anonymous - The Princess Bride

10. I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically.

Anonymous - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

11. Don't worry, I'm not going to shoot you. No, I'm going to take you to my workplace. I think you'll be very interested in some of the machinery I use.

C.K. Gilkes - The Italian Job

12. Then let's say God puts two people on Earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well then what? Is that it? Or, perchance, you meet someone new and marry all over again. Is that the lady you're supposed to be with or was it the first? And if so, when the two of them were walking side by side were they both the one for you and you just happened to meet the first one first or, was the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance or are some things meant to be?

C.K. Gilkes - Ever After: A Cinderella Story

13. You, boy, are arrogant, hot tempered and entirely too bold. I like that. Reminds me of me.

Brett - The Three Musketeers

14. Because, He's too busy looking for your brain.

C.K. Gilkes - A Walk to Remember

15. I swear on my dead relatives - and even on the ones who are not feeling too good - I am your man forever!

Anonymous - The Count of Monte Cristo

Post the movie titles in the comments!

CSFF: Hunter Brown and the Secret of the Shadow

I enjoyed this month's CSFF selection, Hunter Brown and the Secret of the Shadow. The beginning took a little to get into (and granted I'm not a 14-year-old boy), but the story keep me engaged throughout and the ending twist completely surprised me. I'd have it beside me to give more detailed commentary, but my two youngest siblings are currently fighting over it. Both my 12-year-old brother and 11-year-old sister are partway through the story and wanting to finish it before each other. Good news - there's a online version of the book you can read for free at the Miller brothers' website. Bad news - the internet here has been awful all day (accounting for this late post).

Be sure to stop by the website to watch the book trailer, start reading the novel, and register for cool games and a contest (win a Wii, anyone?). Visit the blogs below for more about the book:
