Exclusive to Empirical Question: Robert's 14 Movie Meme

You know the drill.

Note that Robert selected 14 movies that he really likes. And to level the playing field a bit, everyone should know that he prefers older (but not necessarily ancient) movies. So start guessing! I'm giving everyone else a chance to contemplate these before I take credit for the ones I got.

1) What a fitting end to your life's pursuits. You're about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something. - Raiders of the Lost Ark - Mom

2)
D:All right. I ran her a close second. Maybe it was a photo finish. I'm through, fellas.
K:Don, you're not through!
C: Why of course not. Why, with your looks and figure, you could drive an ice wagon or shine shoes!
K: Block hats!
C: Sell pencils!
K: Dig ditches!
C: Or worse still, go back to vaudeville.

C: Talking pictures, that means I'm out of a job. At last I can start suffering and write that symphony.
RF: You're not out of job, we're putting you in as head of our new music department.
C: Oh, thanks, R.F.! At last I can stop suffering and write that symphony. - Singin' in the Rain - Jen

3) C: He said, "I can smell your cunt."

4) Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria. - Ghostbusters - Robin

5) Next time, Jack, write a goddamn memo.

"The average Rooskie, son, don't take a dump without a plan." Wait a minute. We don't have to figure out how to get the crew off the sub. He's already done that, he would have had to. All we gotta do is figure out what he's gonna do. So how's he gonna get the crew of the sub. They have to want to get off. How do you get a crew to want to get off a submarine? How do you get a crew to want to get off a nuclear sub... - The Hunt for Red October - Debbie

6) So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?

That's very clever, sir. But what if there's a fire? I think violating fire codes and endangering the lives of children would be unwise at this juncture in your career, sir.

BJ:Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
AC: ...and an athlete...
AR: ...and a basket case...
CS: ...a princess...
JB: ...and a criminal...
BJ: Does that answer your question?... - The Breakfast Club - Mom

7) There *is* a leopard on your roof and it's my leopard and I have to get it and to get it I have to sing.

"He's three years old, gentle as a kitten, and likes dogs." I wonder whether Mark means that he eats dogs or is fond of them?

[watching George the dog dig up what they think is David's dinosaur bone] Oh, look, David, a boot.
DH [angrily] A boot.
[picks it up and makes like he's going to swing with it]
SV: Don't hit George, David.
DH: I wasn't going to hit *George*! - Bringing Up Baby - Sally

8) Why did I take up stealing? To live better, to own things I couldn't afford, to acquire this good taste that you now enjoy and which I should be very reluctant to give up. - To Catch a Thief - Mom

9) Well, can't you tell us anything about the case?
Yes, it's putting me way behind in my drinking.

The important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.

N1:Nicky... Nicky, put Asta in here with me tonight.
N2: [chuckles] Oh, yeah?
[throws Asta in the other bunk] - The Thin Man - Mom

10) I certainly wish you would have invented a more reasonable story. I felt distinctly like an idiot repeating it.

Don't worry about the story's goofiness. A sensible one would have had us all in the cooler.

J: I am prepared to pay five thousand dollars for the figure's return. Do you have it?
S: No.
J: But if it isn't here, why did you risk serious injury to prevent my searching for it?
S: Why should I sit around here and let people come in and stick me up?
J: But certainly it is only natural that I try to save the owner such a considerable expense if possible. - The Maltese Falcon - Mom

11) I don't understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don't mean nothing. You saw this kid just like I did. You're not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies. Look, you know how these people lie! It's born in them! I mean what the heck? I don't have to tell you. They don't know what the truth is! And lemme tell you, they don't need any real big reason to kill someone, either! No sir! - Twelve Angry Men - Robin, Debbie

12) Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live... is it a live rooster? We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.

I’m the player to be named later.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. - Bull Durham - Sally
