Movie quiz

[estepheia]

I'm in a good mood today, so I decided to do a weenie drabble competition. Winner gets a 100-word drabble of a chosen pairing (please give me a prompt of up to three words as well, please). I am prepared to write Jossverse, Smallville (although I have only watched up to 3x18), heck, I'd even give Lost a shot. If you want something more obscure, just ask and I'll try. Time to spread my writerly wings a bit.
All comments will be screened until the quiz is over and the winner has been determined. Please use only your memory, not google or IMDb, okay?
(Oh and if you have posted your answers and an hour later another answer suddenly pops into your brain, feel free to add to your initial post.)

3. If you read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a TV.
4. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo.
5. One wolf recognizes another.
6. We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it being a night of no small expenditure.
7. One day, men will look back and say that I gave birth to the Twentieth Century.

You forgot to list the actors under B. :-)
And I have to say, I expected more answers from you. ;-)

B5. Steve Martin
B6. Liza Minelli

And I'm a bit disappointed myself. B)

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

Oh, once again I'm covered with shame at how much I DON'T know. But, since no one else has jumped in yet, I'll start.
1) Field of Dreams
6) Clockwork Orange
and on actors...
3)oh, this feels vaguely Gatsby to me, is it Sam Shepherd?
6) Liza Minnelli in Cabaret
7) Complete guess, the only Vivian I can think of is Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
9) Another guess, is this Glenn Close in Sarah Plain and Tall?
and finally, TADA
8) Whoopi Goldberg in Jumpin Jack Flash, a movie I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Mick, Mick, speak English!

number one is field of dreams. I only know this because it's based on a book by a Canadian Author, W.P Kinsella. As to eight. I know eight. Is it... toy story?

[drc1.livejournal.com]

A.2 sounds like a quote from my favourite scene in 'Harvey' to me, that Jimmy Stewart movie (not sure if this the original title because I've only ever seen it in German, 'Mein Freund Harvey', and you said we weren't allowed to search the 'net ;-)).

As for the rest, I have no clue whatsoever... :-)

[aimeelicious]

#1 is Field of Dreams.

[faemovana.livejournal.com]

3. If you read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a TV.

Grandpa from the Lost Boys. It's at the beginning of the movie and they're unpacking and moving in. Grandpa's explaining the RULES to Sam and he says this just before he shuts the double doors that separate the family room from the rest of the house....also, how scary is it that I've not seen this movie in at least six years and I can picture this scene as if it's happening right now! HEE!

[wackinessensues.livejournal.com]

A.1. Field of Dreams
A.3. The Lost Boys

I suck, don't recognize a single one from part B.

[1istener.livejournal.com]

1) Field of Dreams
6) Clockwork Orange

2 sounds awfully familiar...

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

#3 is from Lost Boys.
#9 is from Dream Team... a movie I really need to pick up on DVD at some point.

I could probably get more after I wake up a bit... but that's it off the top of my head.

I gave it my best shot. As much as I love movies, I'm terrible at this.

7. One day, men will look back and say that I gave birth to the Twentieth Century.

One of the few lines that survived the transition of From Hell from book to film. Sigh. Poor Alan Moore. Spoken by Jack the Ripper in both versions, though on very different occasions. Jack the Ripper in this instance played by Ian Holm, who didn't need black contact lenses, oh idiotic directors, to be spooky - he's good enough as an actor to do this on his own.

9. Does Ed go out the window? Let's have a show of hands. [to Ed] You can vote too, it's America.

L.A. Confidential.

Tom Wingo: Played by Nick Nolte in The Prince of Tides. Which is that strange thing, a film version of a novel which picked the framing narration to film instead of the main chunk (the childhood story is two third in the novel, the New York sections one third, all in all.) Tom is the narrator in both cases.

6. Sally Bowles, Cabaret?
10. Terry Dolittle Jumpin' Jack Flash

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

You forgot to list the actors. :-)

[karenbear.livejournal.com]

Too easy?! Uh... nope! Not for me at least. Heh. And here I was thinking I was a movie fan. Obviously a delusion. I know a total of 2 from the first section (#1 is Field of Dreams, and #3 is Lost Boys), and I don't know any of the second section. A couple seem familiar, but I can't quite place them.

Ah well...

[deaver.livejournal.com]

1. Field of Dreams (far too easy)
9. Ed

I so recognize #8, (can even here the voice inflection), but can't for the life of me remember what movie it's from.

[azdak.livejournal.com]

I can only do one - Sally Bowles is in Cabaret, played by Liza Minelli. can't do the others *at all*, although I know I read quote #1 in toysdream's journal, so presumably he knows where it comes from.

[10zlaine.livejournal.com]

Heee! oops!

Liza Minnelli and Whoopie Goldberg!

two points....I suck...

[karenbear.livejournal.com]

Ooh, ooh, I finally remembered where I know one of the names from (I think). Is #9 Jodie Foster's character from The Accused?

And because I might as well make more of an effort I'll guess some more of the quotes:

#5 - X-Men? (or maybe X-men 2?)
#7 - Citizen Kane?
#9 - EdTV?

[beccaelizabeth]

A1 Field of Dreams (?)
A3 The Lost Boys

4. Cole Thornton - It's a John Wayne character, but I don't remember which movie. Bah.
5. Rigby Reardon - ha!! Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - Steve Martin
6. Sally Bowles - Cabaret (lots of different ppl have played this character, but I prefer Liza Minneli (or however you spell it)
7. Vivian Ward (bleh) - Julia Roberts, Pretty Woman
