Line
June 17th, 2009
If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself… these are the answers to the Liquid Generation 100 Movie Quotes in 200 Seconds video, about which I posted yesterday.
It’s possible that some of these are wrong. There doesn’t seem to be the definitive list anywhere so I googled the ones I didn’t know.
Here goes:
1 – Good Morning, Vietnam
2 – The Waterboy (miss… never seen it and that’s a pretty stupid movie to include… yeah, OK, so I’m sore)
3 – Ghostbusters
4 – Animal House
5 – Caddyshack
6 – Tommy Boy (best line in the movie)
7 – Home Alone
8 – A Christmas Story (miss – this was a pretty stupid miss… never seen the whole thing straight thru so I guessed The Great Outdoors… hey, it looks/sounds like John Candy)

25 – Jurassic Park
26 – Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
27 – Close Encounters of the Third Kind (? – never seen it but hard to look up “groovy”)
28 – Total Recall
29 – The Lord of the Rings (I’ll give myself a whole point for this altho it might be The Two Towers and not The Return of the King)
30 – 2001: A Space Odyssey
31 – The Wizard of Oz
32 – The Planet of the Apes
33 – Star Wars (I believe it’s the original)
34 – Aliens (1/2 point as I said “Alien”… guess as I’ve never seen any of ‘em)
35 – E.T.
36 – The Blair Witch Project
37 – Poltergeist
38 – The Shining

40 – Psycho
41 – Frankenstein
42 – The Sixth Sense
43 – Jaws
44 – The Silence of the Lambs
45 – The Shining (? – “redrum” is definitely from that but two quotes from the same film?)
46 – Se7en
47 – Scream
48 – No Country for Old Men
49 – Casablanca
50 – The Graduate
51 – Dirty Dancing

70 – Dead Poets Society
71 – Citizen Kane
72 – Apocalypse Now
73 – Forrest Gump
74 – Cool Hand Luke (miss – guessed Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid… bad miss, tho I’ve never seen either)

95 – Gladiator
96 – Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark
97 – The Karate Kid
98 – James Bond: Dr. No (? – I think)
99 – Batman
100 – Rocky
So, this means that my score is 84 and holding. If anyone knows the 5 question marks, that’d be great.
I missed 11 for sure. I’d be pretty happy w/ 89% and in fact am pretty thrilled with 84%.
The other night we played this I’ve Never game in which you state a movie you haven’t seen and if everyone else HAS seen it, you get a point. I of course lost huge, meaning I’ve seen a lot, but the ones I haven’t seen that surprised people are:
Top Gun
Lethal Weapon (any of ‘em)
Scarface
Basic Instinct
ConAir
Air Force One
Million Dollar Baby
The ones I was surprised they didn’t have on here:
The Shawshank Redemption
Platoon
National Lampoon’s Vacation
Fletch
The Bridge on The River Kwai
Ben-Hur
The Ten Commandments

96 – Alien (miss… Moonstruck… you moron, you just did this)
97 – Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? (miss… Yankee Doodle Dandy… never seen it)
98 – Dirty Dancing
99 – The Wizard of Oz
100 – Titanic
So, out of those:
I missed 32. Wow, that’s a lot. I got a 68%. Definitely harder when it’s just the quote but the AFI list also skewed much older. Good list, tho… prolly more reflective of greatest movies in history while the Liquid Generation one was constructed by my generation.
So, nothing from The Shawshank Redemption is kind of unforgivable. Ha.

1. Scarface? Top Gun? Geez Louise, dude.
2. you write a 10,000 word blog post on movie quotes, and not once mention who sent you the link in the first place? Wow, how about a little gratitude!
3. Most of those old movies suck anyway. The WORST movie of all-time? “The Graduate”. That movie made me hate Simon & Garfunkel.
4. You want to see a really funny video? Check it out. This asshat has more influence on the economy than anyone else. Hardy, har, har!

Very Impressive. I didn’t do it, but I would have been about 50.
84 is The Warriors. Haven’t seen it, but can get it from watching Craig Mack and D12 music videos.
I once had a friend tell me, “it bothers me that everything you know, you learned from cartoons or rap music.” You can start saying that, too.
3. Jeremy Collins | June 29th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Well sadly I recognized all of the quotes.
22 is from Weird Science (later on he goes Chicks cannot hold they smoke – that’s what it is)
27 – Groovy is from Army of Darkness (Starring the Chin himself Bruce Campbell.
45 is definitely from the Shining.
58 – End of the the line is put your lips together and blow.
84 is from The Warriors
91 – Bloodsport is only the greatest Martial Arts film ever, well except maybe for Enter the Dragon
I actaully own over 80 of these.

jeremy – very impressive! so, what are #12 and #98?
5. Rajiv | June 30th, 2009 at 2:15 am
casey – hey, per my email, i did give you a shout-out in the below post… douche. yes, The Graduate is mad overrated.
6. Rajiv | June 30th, 2009 at 2:18 am
derrick – there’s nothing wrong with that.
“there’s nothing wrong with that name.”
“there WAS nothing wrong with it… until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning grammys.”
7. Ching Lee | July 3rd, 2009 at 7:13 am
dude! the graduate was an awesome movie! great bildungsroman movie, coming of age, the empty vessel of spirituality in the US growing into adulthood, the concept of doing everything you’ve been told and finding an emptiness in it all, having overachieving and lack of fun weigh on you with pressure, and a hot wife. Yep, wedding crashers… “it’s like fishing with dynamite it’s not even fair!” see ya!
8. Rajiv | July 7th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
wow, ching – you need to review movies for a living… i think i enjoyed your review more than the movie.
