Merry Christmas!

...oh I mean Happy Easter! Sorry, I got confused about which holiday it was by the FOOT of snow that fell here on Friday. Did I mention I hate snow? Oh and also I'm going to a job interview in Buffalo next week.

Movie Quotes

I'm going to shamelessly steal an idea from Nancy's blog that I thought was really fun.

I picked 15 of my favorite movies and found a quote from each one on IMDB. Now your job is to guess which movie the following quotes came from! Post your guesses in the comments section for any of the ones that you know. I'll moderate comments so that everyone can guess and I'll list those who guessed the movie correctly on the main post. (Another idea stolen from Nancy!) Eventually I'll give you the answers. No cheating using Google, IMDB, etc! ;)

Enjoy!

EDIT 3/3: Good job guessing so far everyone! Only 2 more to go! I can't give you a clue about #10 without being too obvious, but I'm sure you all have seen it. I did add a 2nd quote to #13 to help you out. It is definitely the hardest one. (But kudos to Carl for getting 14, which I think was the 2nd hardest.) Feel free to keep guessing if you haven't given up and looked them up (ahem Mike). ;) I'll post the answers tomorrow night.

EDIT 3/4: (Well technically 3/5) I've put the answers as a comment so that people reading this in the future can have a chance to guess. It was really fun picking these quotes, and I agree with Nancy that it was hard to pick just 15 movies. :)

1. “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.”
Nancy, Mike, Rob, Carl

2. “Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?”

3. “I like rich people. I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I'm with them.”
Steph

4. “Yeah, sir, you might want to send a maintenance man over to that office across the way. The lights are off, and they must be looking for a fuse box, 'cause them flashlights, they keep me awake.”
Steph

5. “For future reference, right handed men don't hold it with their left. Just one of those things.”
Carl

6. “We are men of action, lies do not become us.”
Nancy, Steph

7. “How can you read this? There's no pictures!”
Nancy

8. “It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.”
Nancy, Rob, Steph

9. “If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.”
Nancy

10. “Being killed is pretty final, wouldn't you say?”

12. “Strange, actually. This is the second time I've shot this man while he was flying through the air.”
