Doing that movie quotes meme because I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND MY BRANE IS STILL FRIED. Yes, the OAD has been submitted, and yours truly spent over eight hours on a train yesterday, and yeah.
ETA: Responses on LJ and DW will be separate, so play at one place or the other.
I did work on a 90s playlist for you all, though, inspired by![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
bzzinglikeneon. And I started planning for Festivids. Go me.
And by the way, thank you to everyone for the congratulations. I'm much obliged, much obliged.

This time, I'm putting a spin on the meme: 15 of my favourite English-language movies released in the last 10 years. Go ahead and guess.
The awesomeazuire got 14/15 right! But I'll leave them open and take it out from under a cut so you can keep playing.

1. 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!'
2.
A: Wait a minute. Who elected you leader of this outfit?
B: Well, A, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought.
3. I call it a gift...for them it was more like a big cosmic joke.
4.
A: This is either madness... or brilliance.
B: It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.
5. It is a historical fact: sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.
6. You know, there was a man that lived here once that had a prize-fighting kangaroo. Well, you just wouldn't believe what that kangaroo did to this courtyard.
7. It's just an anonymous room. There's nothing in the drawers. But you look anyway. Nothing except the Gideon bible, which I, of course, read religiously.
8. A: I don't get it. Are you saying things were better then, even though there was stuff like this?
B: I suppose things are better now, but...I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
9. As long as the press sees sex and drugs behind the left hand, you can park a battle carrier behind the right hand and no one's gonna fucking notice.
10. A sure and steady hand did this. This ain't no squirrelly amateur. This is the work of a salty dog. You can tell by the cleanliness of the carnage. Now a kill-crazy rampage though it may be, all the colors are kept within the lines. If you was a moron, you could almost admire it.
11.
A: So, are you ready?
B: Yeah, hold on. I forgot to put in the crystals.
12. You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did.
Richard Nixon, Frost/Nixon (amadi)
13.
A: Mr. B, what's your wine selection?
B: Oh, we've got red...and, er...white?
A: I'll have a pint of lager, please.

Jules Paxton: Anyway, being a lesbian's not that big of a deal.
Paula Paxton: Oh no, of course not sweetheart, no. I mean I've got nothing against it. I was cheering for Martina Navratilova as much as the next person.
Bend It Like Beckham (amadi)
15. You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said, "We're going back East to start over." So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.

that's cool! I would hate to put people off a perfectly fun game. And I have to admit I'm curious to number 8, but I shan't google it. *tracks post*

8 is...not overly obscure, but indie enough that it might not be recognized. If no one gets it, I'll let you know what it is. [g]

P.S. just realised our icons are of Ten and Eleven respectively. HAHA.
