Film List - another quotations quiz

Following on from my post earlier in the week about whether - and why - there have been relatively few movie lines to emerge as lasting 'classics' in the past decade or so (which included a link to the AFI's Top 100 Film Quotations), here is a personal list of memorable quotes that I've sometimes used in teaching "film appreciation" classes here in China. [Just under half of these made it into the AFI list; I think I'd take some of these over some of theirs!]

See how many of them you can spot...

[I'll add the answers in a comment below next weekend.]


1)  “I'm gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”


2)  “I know it was you, Fredo. I know it was you.”


3)  “Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here – this is the War Room.”


4)  “Top of the world, Ma!”


5)  “Is this the end of Rico?”


6)  “Rosebud.”


7)  “So, you think you’re a rebel?”  “You could say that.”   “What are you rebelling against, Johnny?”   “What have you got?”


8)  “I coulda been a contender.”


9)  “I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like… Victory.”


10)  “There’s too many, Shane.”


11)  “That was amazing – the best shot I’ve ever seen.”  “The worst! I was aiming for the horse.”


12)  “Round up the usual suspects.”


13)  “Are you looking at me?”


14)  “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille.”


15)  “Heeeeere’s Johnny!”


16)  “There are times when a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.”


17)  “No, it wasn’t the airplanes that killed him. ’Twas Beauty killed the Beast.”


18)  “Lunch is for wimps.”


19)  “A boy’s best friend is his mother.”


20)  “Oh, my god – it’s full of stars!”


21)  “You ain’t heard nothing yet!”


22)  “Sometimes, nothing can be a real cool hand.”


23)  “In this country, first you gotta get the money; then you get the power; then you get the women.”


24)  “You’re a big man – but you’re out of shape. With me, this is a full-time job.”


25)  “You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”


26)  “It’s 104 miles to Chicago; we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark – and we’re wearing sunglasses.”  “Hit it!”

The thing about this selection, you see, is that the majority of them - a good 70 or 80%, I would guess - are at least kind of familiar to most people in 'the West', certainly most people from English-speaking countries (yes, even non-film buffs; even people who don't watch films at all!), and any serious cinema enthusiast could probably name the film and/or character for getting on for half of them at least; but here in China... well, even the most 'obvious' and well-known of these lines enjoy just about zero recognition.  Even with films like The Godfather - which everyone here has seen - the great lines and the great moments just do not enter the popular culture as they do elsewhere.  Perhaps it's partly a language problem: people are often watching these classics of foreign cinema dubbed into Chinese; even those who are trying to listen in English will frequently lean heavily on Chinese subtitles; and even those who rely purely on the original English soundtrack, and have good enough English to understand it fairly well, still find it very hard to really absorb and remember things that they hear in English (absorption and retention of content from reading seems to me to be usually much better, even though overall comprehension levels might be quite poor; I wonder if that's really so, and why it might be the case).  I don't run this kind of quotations list as a 'quiz' with classes here, because everyone would score ZERO; I try to use it more as an Internet-search 'treasure hunt' kind of thing.

[Note also that I wouldn't vouch for the absolute accuracy of the wording in each of these quotes.  When we're talking about the prominence of a line in popular culture, frequent repetition outside of the original context will often introduce small changes here and there - and these changes may even occasionally be slight improvements on the original.  It's an impossible task to try to verify each of these.  Online sources are not to be relied upon: they are usually based on transcriptions by a movie-watcher, which may be flawed (often, I suspect, influenced by how the fan thinks they remember the line from previous viewings), or become subsequently corrupted in further copying.  Even supposed extracts from 'original scripts' are not all that authoritative: how do we know that these sources are the actual screenplay?  And, even if they are, will they record little changes that were - consciously or unconsciously - introduced by the actor in delivering the line on film?  No, it's a futile effort to try to find 'definitive versions' of these quotes online; I'm not even convinced about that AFI list being completely spot-on for all of them.  I think the only way to have a chance of achieving that level of 'accuracy' would be to listen to each of the film extracts - carefully, more than once, and ideally in the context of the whole of the original scene from which they come rather than the extremely abbreviated soundbite extracts you find on YouTube.  And I just don't have time for that.

So, please don't carp at supposed small inaccuracies.  In this context, I think it's enough that a line should be recognisable.]
