What were those movies?

Due to overwhelming demand (hi, Kali) (otherwise, *crickets*), I am now going to reveal the sources of the movie quotes I threw at you last week. This way, I get to tell you how great these movies are, which is fun for me, anyway.

Now, here are the quotes again:

1. The time to make up your mind about people is never.
2. So it's sort of social. Demented and sad, but social.
3. "Fine, I'll take your test." "I want to see the kid in net who wouldn't take the test."
4. Go! Win! And call me when you get back. I enjoy our chats.
5. Sometimes I just think funny thoughts.
6. Blue flower, red thorns, blue flower, red thorns. This would be so much easier if I wasn't colorblind!
7. Honey, you slide in and they carry you out.
8. "People are smart. They can handle it." "A person is smart. People are dumb."
9. Bring me that horizon.

And here is where I reveal the movies:

1. The Philadelphia Story. I love old movies, I love Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart (Harvey! need I say more?), and I can seriously recite half this movie along with them (which would make me very annoying to watch it with, but fortunately I usually watch it alone) (I can even sing Dinah's song about Lydia the tattooed lady, though of course I don't sing it well, but I enjoy it). Tracy (Hepburn) and Mike (Stewart) are very drunk, and when she says that he made up his mind awfully early in life, he says isn't 30 about time? And she says...
2. The Breakfast Club. Probably I love this movie as much as I do because it came out when I was in high school. Bender (Judd Nelson) listens to Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) talking about his membership in the Physics Club, and says...
3. Miracle. I suppose you don't have to love hockey to love this movie. You don't have to remember watching the US Olympic team win the gold in 1980, though, to appreciate the excellent job they did recreating it. Kurt Russell is Herb Brooks, plaid pants and all, in one of the most amazing cases of an actor disappearing into a role that I've ever seen. Brooks had all the players take a huge test when they made the team, and Jim Craig, the goalie, didn't take it. During the Olympics, Brooks threatens to pull him for the other goalie, and when Craig protests that he's done everything Brooks asked of him, Brooks cocks an eyebrow at him and says, "Everything?" Craig counters, "Is this about your test? I'll take the test, is that what you want?"...
4. The Incredibles. I'm a big fan of animated movies, and really enjoyed this one. My favorite character is Edna Mode (voiced by the director, Brad Bird, who apparently couldn't find just what he was looking for in anyone else), the tiny, fiery designer in the wild mansion. Having given Helen the information she needs to go after her missing husband, Edna jumps up on a table to declaim...
5. Arthur. This movie may be the reason Dudley Moore was put on this Earth. He is classic as Arthur Bach, drunken playboy, who falls for Liza Minelli's waitress. Some great acting here, even in the smaller parts: Linda's father, Arthur's grandmother, and of course John Gielgud as the fatherly but not soft-hearted butler. If you haven't seen it, you are Missing Out. Arthur, driving through Central Park with the streetwalker he just picked up, bursts into wild laughter out of nowhere, and says...
6. Shrek. Another animated movie, another classic, another I can recite along with. The animation is fantastic, the story great fun. This might not be Donkey's best line, but it's very in character, and he's surrounded by blue flowers with red thorns as he says...
7. Topper. Another old movie, more Cary Grant. He and Constance Bennett go to a number of nightclubs, and in one you go in and are faced with a long slide down to the dance floor. She looks at it and asks how you get out again. In that inimitable Cary Grant way, he says...
8. Men in Black. Not only is this a very fun movie, but I totally agree with this philosophy. Tommy Lee Jones is so good as the grizzled older agent, explaining about aliens to Will Smith as the brash rookie. Will wants to know why they don't tell people about the aliens, that people could handle it, they're smart. TLJ says...
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In my opinion, the first movie in the trilogy is the best one. I think the other two, although quite enjoyable, suffer from won't-say-no, where the first one was so successful, no one will give them limits.* I really love Jack Sparrow, and this is a continuation of his previous declaration of What A Ship Is. Here he takes the helm, and says...

*To mis-quote Douglas Adams in The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, in regards to a bestselling author, "No one will tell him he should cut chapters 10-14 inclusive, and all the stuff about the goat."

I'm off to pack. I don't leave for 48 hours, but I'd rather bring wrinkled clothing than an ulcer. I wish I didn't worry so, but I don't see myself changing soon. Toodles!
