Words of Becca’s Wisdom for today: Some stuff just stands the test of time.
I’m specifically thinking of movies right now – ones I’ve watched over and over with similar delight. Want to know what some of them are? How about I give you a hint (like three quotes from each)? Then, if you know what they are, tell me in the comments. And if you hate them as much as I love them, we’ll never, ever run out of things to talk about.
(*UPDATED TO ADD: All of this came straight out of my memory. I didn’t look up anything. So, all the mistakes are mine. But so are all the wasted brain cells!*)
1. “Bannister? As in sliding down the?”
“Roast beef. Double thick. Mustard on the top, mayo on the bottom and a bottle of diet anything.”
“This is a person named Eunice?”
2. “I collect spores, molds, and fungus.”
“Nobody steps on a church in my town.”
“Ray. If someone asks you if you’re a god, you say YES.”
3. “It’s like living with a six-year-old.”
“Do you have anything besides Mexican food?”
“It’s a Tubman 601. I flew one in “Little Neddy Goes to War.””
4. “Mac the night watchman is a prince among men, and Uncle Willy is … a pincher.”
“Maybe it’s the ghost of Bridegroom Number One.”
“Don’t say “stinking.” If necessary, say smells. But only if necessary.”
5. “An entire gopher village.”
“Any of you gentlemen smithies, perhaps? If not smithies per se, otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts?”
“Of course it’s Pete. Look at him.”
6. “You call this a happy family? Why’d we have to have all these kids?”
“You don’t like coconuts? Say, brainless, don’t you know where coconuts come from?”
“I didn’t have time to get any fashionable underwear.”
7. “I do not wish to be courted by someone who is still in love with my sister.”
“I told you they dressed me up, but I didn’t tell you they powdered and squeezed and made me look a fashion plate.”
“How can such an extraordinary person expect to lead an ordinary life? Go. Embrace your freedom.”
8. “Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you different is selling something.”
“Love her as I loved her, and there will be joy.”
“There are a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a pity to damage yours.”
9. “The Coles are nice people, but we’d have to go outside to get there.”
“Is it so much to ask, Lord, that if he cannot marry me, he simply remain single?”
“There is a shocking lack of satin.”
10. “He put an egg in his shoe… and beat it.”
“We need some of them – whaddaya call ’em? Ambastards?”
“It’s like the Waldorf out here.”

Oh my word, you either have a great memory, watch too many movies, or you cut and pasted these off of IMDB.
#6-Cheaper by the Dozen?
#8-I’ve seen this one, because I remember about the breast line. But I can’t remember.
#9-I’ve seen number nine also but I’m can’t remember.
This is going to bug me now. I hope you intend on coming back and answering all of these.

Ahhh … I recognize a few of my favorites:

#6 – IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
#8 – THE PRINCESS BRIDE
Some of the others sound familiar, some not at all. I’ll be interested to see all the answers.

May I begin by congratulating you on your love of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? It’s such a classic, and so many people just don’t understand that.
#3 Three Amigos
#5 Oh Brother
#7 Little Women
#8 The Princess Bride
#9 Emma! Just watched it.
That’s it. That’s all I know.

(Katie is my Kid 2. Not kidding, we watch way too many movies around here – and she almost got #9 – I’m giving her half credit!)

I was going to be bitterly disappointed had #8 not been included in that list…

Even though I’ve seen most of these, the only one I knew cold was Princess Bride, probably because I’ve seen it more than any other movie in my life. Goonies is maybe a close second. But I agree with your choices.

#1 – What’s Up Doc? One of my personal favs, too. So. Freakin. Funny.
#2 – Ghostbusters – Admittedly I’ve only ever seen this once…with your brother…
#3 – The Three Amigos (We tend to use the six year old line a lot around these parts…)
#4 – Is this from The Philadelphia Story? It’ been a while since i watched it…I need to again!
#5 – Oh Brother Where art Thou?
#6 – It’s a Wonderful Life
#7 – Little Women
#8 – The Princess Bride – a true classic
#9 – Emma
#10 – Newsies – Just watched this with our kids…I think Ellie is in love…she keeps walking around with a swagger and a New York accent.
Great picks all around! I’d have to add The Importance of Being Earnest, Kung Fu Panda, and maybe Support Your Local Sheriff to the mix, too.

Good ones! You have a good brain. I always forget quotes.

Hehehe Becca you just make me smile! I LOVE that at least two of those movies are two of my favorite movies ever (Newsies and Princess Bride).
By the way, I have another blog along with my one I’ve listed. It’s hamswriting.blogspot.com
Just thought I’d let you know. 🙂
