It's Unknown Movie Quote Answers Time!

1. [Character 1]: So, you're not gonna go to law school? What do you wanna do then?
[Character 2]: I wanna dance!
ANSWER: "Dazed and Confused" In high school, my friends and I watched this movie so often there was a time I had it entirely memorized. Sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be a psychologist-- I wanna dance too!

2.It's like asking why all the guys chew Copenhagen. If you're 17, and you're not a total fry, it's just watcha do.
ANSWER: "Drop-Dead Gorgeous" I saw this movie for the first time while on a date and there's a certain part of the movie that made everyone in the theater gasp and squirm. I, on the other hand, laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants.

3. Isn't the one-and-only supposed to be, like, one? And only?
ANSWER: "Saving Silverman" This is a movie that is so absolutely terrible that it's actually really funny, though I wouldn't recommend it to anyone (especially not the non-edited version which I saw for the first time a couple weeks ago). Josh and I watched it again recently because of the tie-in with Neil Diamond (the main characters are in a Neil Diamond tribute band named "Diamonds in the Rough").

4. [Character 1]: Now let's see what we have here. We have one missing, dead, naked butler, one host with a butcher's knife in his back, and one poisonous scorpion crawling up out sheets.
[Character 2]: Is that what that is?
[Character 1]: Yes. They can kill instantly. I suggest we don't move.
[Character 2]: For how long?
[Character 1]: Quite possibly for the rest of our lives.
ANSWER: "Murder By Death" Vaxhacker got this right. It's one of my absolute favorite movies in the entire world, but past experience has told me that not everyone finds it funny. I think it helps that I've read a lot of mystery and detective novels, especially Agatha Christie. Plus, I think Neil Simon is hilarious. If you like any of those things-- this movie is for you!

5. Obviously, doctor, you've never been a thirteen-year-old girl.
ANSWER: "The Virgin Suicides" This was Sofia Coppola's directoral debut and she did such a great job recreating the mood of Jeffery Eugenides' book. Yes this is a movie about suicide, but it's also a movie about the upper middle class in Michigan and being a teenager in the 1970s.

6. [Character 1]: Oh, no. . . it's just that I thought you had hidden depths.
[Character 2]: No, no, you've always had that wrong about me. I really am this shallow.
ANSWER: "About a Boy" This is another movie made from one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors (Nick Hornby). It stars Hugh Grant in a role that was basically written for him and has an ending that is a bit more positive and heart-warming than the novel. I guess this is also kind of a movie about suicide, in a peripheral way. Remember, there's a reason I'm a psychologist and this gets reflected in my popular culture interests.

7. That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets.
ANSWER: "Mean Girls" Carissa had a good guess with "Hairspray," but "Mean Girls" is more recent and was written by Tina Fey, which means it's funnier. I love this movie. If I had been a teenager when this movie came out I have no doubt that 88% of my conversations with my friends would involve quoting this movie.

8. That's cool baby. You know how it is-- rockin' and rollin' and what not.
ANSWER: "Grease" I couldn't have a movie quote list and not include something from "Grease," since my best friend Amanda and I watched it probably every weekend in middle and early high school. This particular quote I use probably once a day just because I can.

9. What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife.
ANSWER: "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" Sadly, this musical was one of my formative examples of courtship. My second favorite quotes from this movie comes from the beginning where Adam (Howard Keel) walks through the town singing about how he's looking for a wife and he sings, "Can't make no vows to a herd of cows!"

10. Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all, you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing.
ANSWER: "High Fidelity" I didn't realize until just now that I had included two movies made from Nick Hornby novels, but "High Fidelity" is the second one. John Cusack is excellent as the main character who is dumped and then soul-searches through past breakups in order to understand why he's still single. The book had a better ending, but I like that the movie makes it more ambiguous.

And the super special bonus 11th quote:
11. Yes, yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so much . . . it-it-the f-it flam-flames. Flames on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breath. . .
ANSWER: "Clue" My best friend Amanda and I used to quote this all the time. I love this movie, especially since it features a cameo by Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Gos.

Josh is the only one that got all of them right, though he kind of had an unfair advantage because he has to listen to me repeat these quotes all the time (and he might have cheated, though he claims he just used his excellent powers of deduction). His reward is that I promised to go to see all of the movies that have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. We have only seen "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" so far, which is a huge change from last year where we had seen all of the movies before they were announced except "Michael Clayton."
