Filch It Friday

Posted on Mar 28, 2008 under By The Way... |

filch-it-flattened.jpgThe delectable Meg of Simply Nutmeg has launched a Filching Carnival!  What this means is that you can steal any post from anybody, as long as you link back to them and give them credit. (I’ve been doing this for a long time, but now it’s ALLOWED!).  The idea is to write your own version of the post, kind of like a meme.

This week I’m filching one of Meg’s own posts - Guess the Movie Quote! See if you can identify the movie these quotes come from - without Googling it! Just put the number of the quote, and your answer in the comments. Have fun!

1.  “Well, it’s not good. Unless you want to give your ass a facial.”  - Under A Tuscan Sun (Thanks Pippa and Jane!)

2.  “They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say ‘Shit, it’s raining!’ - Cold Mountain (Well done, Ice)

3.  “In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper!’ -  A Knight’s Tale (Meredith)

4.  “I think sex is like supermarkets, you know, overrated. Just a lot of pushing and shoving and you still come out with very little at the end.” - Shirley Valentine (Cammy got this one)

5.  What is it with this chick? She have beer-flavored nipples? - 10 Things I Hate About You (Well done, Meredith!)

6.  “That’s all I have to say about that.” - Forest Gump (Lisa, who also filched this post, so head on over there if you want to try your hand at some more quotes.)

7.  “This is hockey, OK? It’s not rocket surgery.”

8.  “I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man felt free.” - The Shawshank Redemption (this is my favourite movie of all time - Meredith got this one right too!)

9.  “With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.”  - Apollo 13 (Lisa again!)

10.  “You don’t throw away a whole life just ’cause it’s banged up a little.” - Seabiscuit (Thanks Felicia!)
