Sexeteria

(Psst, see the post below this one if you want to give me a little vocab help. Still applicable. Thanks.)

Saw this first on Brooke's blog and then today on Sizzle's blog, which reminded me I'd meant to get around to doing it. It's a fun movie trivia meme quiz for you to play along with. Being a total film freak, however, it was hard to narrow it down to just 15 choices; and even so I'm afraid a few of them are too obscure and no one will know them. But the rules DID say choose favorite films, so I stuck to that, regardless of obscurity. And I'm banking on the fact that maybe some of you are freaks like me and might know them.

Here’s how it works, should you decide to participate, too (and I'd love it if you would):

* Pick 15 of your favorite movies
* Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie (or quote them from memory because you are that bad ass)
* Post them on your blog for everyone to guess
* Fill in the film title once it’s been guessed

These are your rules for my own list below:
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions (Don’t cheat!)
* Leave your answer(s) in the comments

1. "Don't get officious. You're not yourself when you're officious -- that is the curse of a government job."
Harold and Maude--guessed by NO ONE. How is that possible? Can't find this exact quote clip, but here's the 1971 trailer:

2. "Trade: Phenodihydrochloride benzelex. Street: The embalmer." "Balls! I'll swallow it and run a mile!"
Withnail & I -- guessed by Nikki. See it uttered in context here.

3. "You're not carnival personnel!"
The Jerk--guessed by no one.Words can not say how much I love this completely, stupidly brilliant movie. Can't find the quote in a clip, but here's a more famously quotable clip:

4. "Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -- guessed by Hiromi. See it uttered in context here (at around 2:50).

5. "I had a bad day. I had to subvert my principles and kowtow to an idiot. Television makes these daily sacrifices possible. Deadens the inner core of my being." "Let's move away then." "They have television everywhere; there's no escape."
(Note: I really wanted to use the quote to be "Sorry about vicing Ed's head," but it's not on IMBD and I'm not sure if i have it exactly right from memory. But you could use that one, too.)
Trust--guessed by no one. I've discussed my love of this film before here. Both the vicing Ed's head quote and the longer one above can be seen in this clip from the film:

6. "And... no, it is not dangerous to confuse children with angels!"
Magnolia -- guessed by AAG. See it uttered in context here.

7. "Yeah, but Tommy can be such a dork, ya know? Like he's got the bod, but his brains are bad news."
Valley Girl -- guessed by Ray. See it uttered in context here (at around 3:56).

8. "Men have let me down, but animals, never. Never!"
When The Cat's Away (or in the original French: Chacun cherche son chat)--guessed by no one.Adorable French indie film that was out in VHS in the US in the mid-90s. Still not available on DVD. What a complete shame. More than worth seeking out even on VHS, though. I mean, look at this fantastic trailer.

9. "Oh. It's not easy getting rides. Do you know what I mean? I mean most people are real afraid to pick up hitchhikers. I mean you never know who you might pick up. I mean I could be some crazed slime ball. I mean a real deranged, violent psycho. You know what I mean? I mean a guy who would rip out your heart and eat it, just for pleaaaasuuuuuurrrrrre. I'm talking about a total maniac! You know what I mean? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?"
The Sure Thing -- guessed (again!) by Hiromi. See it uttered in context here (at around 4:25).

10. "Why can't I just be alone?" "All right, Mooney, go to your room!" "I don't have a room! I sleep in the hall, remember?"
New Waterford Girl--guessed by no one. Another small, obscure, and perfect film. Funny, smart, bittersweet, touching, hopeful--which is not made very clear by this trailer which seems to be attempting to make it look like the film is "wacky, kooky, crazy!!!" But it does include my quote.

11. "After my divorce from Luther I scraped by with baby-sitting gigs and odd jobs -- mostly the jobs we call blow."
Hedwig and the Angry Inch -- guessed by Roberta. (Can't find a clip of the quote, but here, have one of my favorite cheer-up songs ever from that film instead.)

12. "We have a whole life to live together, you fucker, but it can't start until you call."
Me, You and Everyone We Know--guessed by no one. I love this film. Can't find the quote on video, but here, watch this instead; one of the most perfectly crafted movie scenes I've ever seen:

13. "I want the world. I want the whole world. I want to lock it all up in my pocket. It's my bar of chocolate. Give it to me NOW."
Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory -- guessed (2 for 2!) by Hiromi. See it uttered in context here.

14. "On behalf of the students from Vince Lombardi High who are here tonight, I'd just like to say one thing: Screw you, Principal Togar, we made it to the concert anyway!" (Hint: this post's title is an extra hint for this one.)
Rock 'n' Roll High School -- guessed by Darkneuro. (I couldn't find a clip of this one, but here's a great scene that takes place just between the quote in my post's title and this quote here.)

15. "WHAT are THESE?" "Those are your new shoes, Dawn!" "Those aren't the right kind, I told you cha-cha heels, black ones!" "Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels!"
Female Trouble--guessed by no one, but alllllmostttt guessed by Ray.Perverse, funny as hell, and a great predictor of the trash celebrity culture of today. Two treats for this one: 1) Watch the beauty that is Divine utter the infamous cha-cha heels line:

2) Watch EARTHA KITT and BRONSKI BEAT do a tribute song inspired the infamous line. Can you stand it? SO fabulous. (Sadly, the song was written for Divine to sing, but s/he died before it was possible.)
