Updated: Who Said That? Movie Quotes!

**Looks like I stumped you all on 6, 8, and 20! All the answers are now below…thanks for playing!**

I’m nothing if not a follower. When Debra posted quotes from her favorite movies and asked us to guess, I knew I had to do the same. I had planned on listing favorite movie quotes anyway, but this way just makes it fun.

How well do you know your movies? Some of them I know are easy (especially if you like the same movies as me!) and some are hard. Leave a comment with your guesses/answers. Don’t look them up, just guess! I’ll give you hints if you ask. Let’s see how well you do!

    So you like romantic comedies and fun movies, if I had to guess

  2. Ronnica Says:

    Tim:
    Good job.

    Yes, #3 is a Billy Crystal movie.

    I doubt you’ve seen #8, but maybe you have.

    I did fix a couple things in #13.

    All the rest are correct. The American Outlaws quote (#11) happens when Jesse is about to leave to be an outlaw in his burntdown house.

    I basically like anything that makes me laugh and a few that make me cry, so yes romantic comedies are a big part of that!

  3. K-Lai Says:

    Cindy: You definitely have an advantage since you know what movies I like and have seen most of them (many with me!). You’ve now added 3, 9, and 19 to the list of movies correct. Also, I don’t know if you know number 20…it’s obscure, and I didn’t have it back in the good ole days.

    10. This movie stars Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Kirsten Dunst, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
    20. This is a movie based on another Oscar Wilde play.

  11. debra Says:

    #10 must be Mona Lisa Smile but I only got that after your hint. :)

    I thought I should know that one but it just wasn’t coming to me.

  12. debra Says:

    And it bothers me that I can’t think of #8 because I KNOW I should know that one too.
