Movie Quotes cont'

Ya'll are awesome and I've only got three quotes left!

I'll give you a couple of hints.

1. "Hey bank robber! Hey, want some advice? Next time keep the engine running." anodyna - Out of Sight

It's probably the only reason I keep giving J-Lo a chance to prove herself as an actress. I loved her in this.

3. "There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later." shirleyann66 - Real Genius

Think 80s. Think 80s and physics.

6. "I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else." feelingdejavu - Charade

It's a classic Hitchcock, only it's not actually directed by Hitchcock.

Have fun! :D

ETA: How much do I love Jenny Crusie? A lot. That's how much. She has an irrational love for the movie Dodgeball too. This makes me happy.

I'm requesting Fast Women from the library this weekend. Did others enjoy this one?

Oh, man - is #3 Real Genius???

And I know I should know #6...I keep wanting to say Body Heat, but I've never actually seen that movie so that can't be it... :( :(

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Yes! Real Genius! My all-time favorite movie. And my husband's. I keep expecting to come home to a handmade laser or something in hte living room. :D

And #6 is a wee bit older than Body Heat. (Which is worth a watch sometime, if only because they do a good job of updating the whole femme fatale genre)

The first one has to be Out of Sight then, yes?

My theory for J-Lo's acting in that is that George Clooney has magical powers. He somehow makes other actors better, idk how.

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Yes! Spot on! And I think you may be right. I loved her in that film and cannot understand why she's so lackluster in everything else. That George. He should bottle whatever it is and he could make a million. Oh, wait... :D

I really enjoyed Fast Women, it is the hard boiled detective story done Crusie-style. i.e. with many marshmallows at the centre.

[esme-green.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed Fast Women quite a lot. It was one of the first of hers I read, so the humour and whimsy were a bit subtler, but they snuck up on you. :)

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Oh, that sounds awesome. *scampers off to the library*

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm really intrigued now. I love her style and would like to see a 'subtle' side to her. *is it the weekend yet?*

[esme-green.livejournal.com]

I think I'm gonna pull it off my shelf for a re-read, since you brought it up. :)

[shirleyann66.livejournal.com]

Okay, I cheated to find out #6 because it was just so freakin' familiar and it was driving me bonkers. Now that I know what it was - aaarggh!! He's my ultimate favourite actor and I adored her, too. I'll now have to pull it out of my collection and watch it again. (darn...)

(I'm not going to name it since I cheated but boy I feel better now. :D )

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Hee!!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time. The scene on the boat, oh, gosh. Why don't they write that kind of dialogue anymore?? :D

[feelingdejavu.livejournal.com]

#6 is from Charade. Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant.

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Yes! Awesome! Well spotted. :D I love that movie beyond all that is healthy.
