“I am looking for a dare to be great situation.”

I saw this on Jodi’s blog and then on Jen’s blog the other day and while I sucked at guessing which movies their quotes were from (maybe I got 2 out of 15), I thought it was a fun way to involve the masses. Here’s how it works, should you decide to participate, too:

* 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:
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions (Don’t cheat!)
* Leave your answer(s) in the comments

1. “Marriages don’t break up on account of infidelity. It’s just a symptom that something else is wrong.” (When Harry Met Sally- guessed by Mainly Clear Skies)
2. “I want to see what love looks like when it’s triumphant. I haven’t had a good laugh in a week.” (It Happened One Night- guessed by NO ONE, not even my BFF Mikey who absolutely loves this movie got this. Way to be obscure, Sizz. Stumped y’all!)
3. “Listen… do you smell something?” (Ghostbusters- guessed by The Fella)
4. “This is ridiculous. It’s crazy. I feel like I’m babysitting, except I’m not getting paid.” (The Goonies- guessed by Mainly Clear Skies)
5. “My life is made up of units of time. Buying CDs – two units. Eating lunch – three units. Exercising – two units. All in all, I had a very full life. It’s just that it didn’t mean anything.” (About a Boy- guessed by Mrs. Ca)
6. “It would be wonderful to say you regretted it. It would be easy. But what does it mean? What does it mean to regret when you have no choice? It’s what you can bear. There it is. No one’s going to forgive me. It was death. I chose life.” (The Hours- guessed by Snackie’s World)

10. “Yes, goddammit. I’m going to have the fucking poached salmon, with the son-of-a-bitching rice, and a dirty bastard salad with a shitload of Roquefort dressing. Thank you. And um, who knows what this asshole wants.” (Dogfight- guessed by Snackie’s World)
11. “Well, I did. Every one of ’em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out.” (Casablanca- guessed by Mainly Clear Skies)
12. “Till you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna’ fail.” (The Color Purple- guessed by I Found A Fatal Flaw…)
