voxwomanAnother fun Movie quiz, this time ganked from spud31
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed. * I will be screening comments until after work tomorrow night, so there won't be spoilers.
5. NO GOOGLING / using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.
I put a couple of easy ones in there, but I have obscure taste in movies (although, if you took my other movie meme quizzes, you may recognize a few favorite titles). I am also "old" so there are films from many decades in here. I also like foreign films, but I did try to pick the more famous ones.
Good luck!
EDIT: The results are in, and as promised, the answers, and your guesses behind the cut.

3. Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!
The Day The Earth Stood Still
4. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.
Dr Strangelove (here's a hint - I seem to prefer Kubric films - there's 2 of them in the list)
5. Hmm... Murdered by pirates, a heart torn out and eaten, meet Victoria... Can't quite decide which sounds more fun...
Stardust (the newest film of the batch)
6. Now watch closely, everyone. I'm going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life and death. The trick is not to fear him.

8. O Great King Nod, have no fear. Zigzag, your grand vizier is here!

9. Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!
Yellow Submarine (animated by the same fellow that later went on to do #8 above - one reason why it's so good - it's very visually reminiscent of YS)

Of course I do. I know exactly where it's headed. Hackensack, New Jersey.
