misfoksThe first one in particular I admit was a poor quote, but I love the movie and most anything else from it was either way too bland or a dead giveaway. And perhaps using a short for #7 was a little sneaky. All revealed behind the curtain...
1. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari "I shouldn't go in if I were you. The Town Clerk is in a very bad temper today."
2. Miller's Crossing "The old man's still an artist with the Thompson."
3. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold "She offered me free love. At the time, that was all I could afford."
4. Gothic "As long as you are a guest in my house, you shall play my games."
5. Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death "What you never understood is that there are some feelings which can't be measured in words, some moments that last an eternity. You toyed with my affections, and after you crushed my heart I crawled into a whiskey bottle and I haven't come out since." "You left for Hawaii the next day with a bimbo in the cafeteria." "Well, uh...yeah...but I'd made that date a week before...and besides, the second I got back from Hawaii I crawled into a whiskey bottle and I haven't come out since."
6. Dog Soldiers "Fucking cow!" "Cease fire!"
7. Nocturna Artificialia "Through gradually tightening avenues, I felt the ecstacy of something nameless."
8. Plan 9 From Outer Space "We contacted government officials. They refuse our existance!"
9. Points gets early score. Six String Samurai "You four have failed me for the last--nice shoes!"
10. Kafka "The terrible toil of the insurance office continues as ever. I am continually harassed by petty tyrants as I issue pointless reports."
11. Nightowl Matt gets point here. Naked Lunch "You know how Americans are. They all love to travel, and then they only want to meet other Americans and talk about how hard it is to get a decent hamburger."
12. From Hell "You do not fuck with Special Branch, they fuck with you. [pause] I don't know what you're thinking and I don't care to know."
13. The Trial "You deny that there's an ovular shape concealed under this rug?" "He denies everything."
14. Yet another Points nabbed first. Bubba Ho-Tep "President Johnson's dead." "Shit, that ain't gonna stop him!"
15. Hardware "Whoa, wow, what was that?" "There's a droid running crazy in my lounge." "Ah. That's OK, we can go to my place."
I'm pretty surprised nobody recognized #8. I'm almost as surprised #14 was one of the most recognized. Points and Jen, do you two hang out or something? :)

Date: 2005-01-29 10:54 pm (UTC)Though I'm disappointed that I didn't get The Cabinet of Dr Caligari... but then I don't remember seeing very many "text-panels" in that movie at all. Of course, that was 13 years ago, too... so I guess some things could slip over time.
I will not express my embarrassment of missing the Bubba Ho-Tep one, especially after I specifically sought out the movie after your visit!

Date: 2005-01-30 08:15 am (UTC)There were just a few things in Fight Club that really didn't click for me... specifically the beating-myself-up-in-the-parking-lot bit. It made sense when the two guys came out of the bar and saw the two main characters pounding on each other. But when we saw the revised bit where it was actually only the one guy and he's tossing himself around the parking lot like he's being beaten up... yeah, most certainly I'd want to join his club!
I'm gonna slink back to my Vonnegut cave, methinks!
