Snabbled from dreams_of_him, with a slight alteration.   

1. 12 of my favorite movies.
2. Guess the quotes.
3. Winners will be posted here.
4. All comments screened.  Too much trouble. 
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions.

1.  This is not unlike escaping Mother's womb. God, what a memory. -- Ladyhawke, guessed by

jeanniemac 

2.  Nuns. No sense of humor. -- Highlander, guessed by augrasshopper

 

3.  End, begin, all the same. Big change. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. -- The Dark Crystal, guessed by inalichenmanner

 

4.  I'm on Planet 'X' lookin' for a dweeb... -- Stargate, guessed by augrasshopper 

5.  It's not easy being a cast-iron bitch. It takes discipline, years of training... A lot of people don't appreciate that. -- The Abyss, guessed by elfling65

 

6.  A young girl, transfigured by Italy! And why shouldn't she be transfigured? It happened to the Goths! -- A Room With a View, guessed by jeanniemac

 

7.  I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me. -- Shadowlands, guessed by tres_mechante

 

8.  I'm in favor of order. I'd say right now order is up by one point with one minute left, and chaos has the ball. 

 

9.  Every age is the same. It's only love that makes any of them bearable. 

 

10.  I like Mass better in Latin. It's nicer when you don't know what they're saying. -- While You Were Sleeping, guessed by broken_enemy

 

11.  My darling girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! -- The Mummy, guessed by tres_mechante

 

12.  I dream of a love that time itself will lie down and be still for. -- Practical Magic, guessed by jeanniemac with a runner-up by belismakr

#1 is from Lady Hawk
#6 is from A Room With a Veiw (yay for Dame Judy!!)
#12 is from Practical Magic

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Bang bang bang, esp. good on #6! Though it doesn't surprise me at all that you got #1. :P

[augrasshopper.livejournal.com]

2. The Highlander (The Kurgan is scawy; vewy scawy.)
4. Stargate

Edited as I just recognized Number 4! :D

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Very good! Nice icon, too.

[belismakr.livejournal.com]

12. Practical Magic

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Quite right, but you were just behind. Sorry, I went to lunch!

[broken-enemy.livejournal.com]

10 is the grandmother from While You Were Sleeping.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

You got it!

[tres_mechante.livejournal.com]

#11 is The Mummy! I just love that disaster scene in the library. *g*

edited because I finally remembered the name! #7 is Shadowlands. I knew the quote was my fave by C.S. Lewis, but I had a hard time remembering the movie. WHEW! Thank you subconscious mind.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Nice! #7 is not an easy one.

[smacky30.livejournal.com]

#5 sounds like The Devil Wears Prada

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Alas, no, not even close.

[smacky30.livejournal.com]

Well if you haven't seen it it's a pretty good movie. And Meryl Streep's character is a stone cold bitch.

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

5 is The Abyss, I LOVE that movie. Ed Harris, ROWR!

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Spot on! *grin* Director's cut all the way, definitely.

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah. Looks really good on a big screen too. I think it's time we saw that again! *grin*

[inalichenmanner.livejournal.com]

I think #3 is from The Dark Crystal. At least it sounds like it is.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Yes it is. I was so tempted to use the wings quote, but I didn't want two speakers; it's still the best line in the film, though.

[eagertalker.livejournal.com]

Is number 8 from Serenity? anne

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Nope! Sorry.

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

Number 9 seemed very familiar so I searched it. Now I know why I knew it!! Time After Time. Great movie. I adore Malcolm McDowell.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Whoops, sorry I didn't answer sooner! Yeah, I love that movie--it's so very seventies, violent, and a bit silly, and wholly unhistorical, but it's still great fun and Mr. McDowell is just adorable. Such a contrast with ST7!

[elfling65.livejournal.com]

That's a fact. I loved his bumbling performance as Wells. He was deliciously evil in ST7, I remember being very curious when he was cast. too much fun.
