Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I'm picking out a thermos for you. No ordinary thermos for you." From which movie is this quote?

Answer: The Jerk

Sung by Steve Martin while he's bathing and thinking of his girlfriend. Thanks to Miamisammy for reminding me of this great movie. One of the best ever with Steve Martin.

2. "Are you telling me that you men finished your training on your own?" "That's a fact, Jack!" From which movie is this exchange?

Answer: Stripes

John Winger (Bill Murray) leads the other soldiers to the graduation parade and impresses the General! This movie is full of funny and great lines and scenes. How about when he's giving his girlfriend the 'spatula treatment?!"

3. "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?" From which movie is this quote?

Answer: The Breakfast Club

John Bender is always sneaking insults to Mr. Vernon in this funny, but thought-provoking movie starring the initial Brat Pack actors.

4. "How could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes?" From which movie is this quote?

Answer: My Cousin Vinny

Vinny does an excellent job invalidating the testimonies of all the witnesses! He's interrogating one of them, who claims he made his grits in the few minutes the defendants supposedly committed their crime in the grocery store. This is a pretty funny movie, too.
Marisa Tomei does a nice job too as the Brooklyn chick.

5. "I want to spend the night with you." "Do you mean sleep over?" "Well... yeah." "Well, okay... but I get to be on top." From what movie is this exchange?

Answer: Big

This exchange occurs when Susan is about to go into Josh's apartment. A second later, she's in the bed giving him bedroom eyes and he runs to her...and jumps onto the top bunk! Tom Hanks does an AWESOME job acting like a child in this funny and warm movie.

6. "I've seen The Exorcist about a hundred and sixty-seven times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!" From which movie is this quote?

Answer: Beetlejuice

Betelgeuse is trying to convince the Maitlands that he's qualified to get rid of the unwanted house guests, and this statement is how he ends his recital of his resume.

7. "Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was runnin'!" From which movie is this quote?

Answer: Forrest Gump

Forrest is speaking to a woman at the bus stop about his running skills. Good movie, great quotes. Brilliantly played by Tom Hanks. Interesting to see all those historic events over 40 years or so.

8. Michael: "I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex." Sam: "Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex." Michael: "Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?" From which movie is this exchange?

Answer: The Big Chill

Jeff Goldblum's character is trying to justify a rationalization he made as they discuss the death of their friend. Great movie, great cast: Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, etc. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it!

9. "Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really: pressure and time. That, and a big goddamn poster." This quote is spoken by Andy Defresne in "The Shawshank Redemption".

Answer: false

It's actually the voice of Red (Morgan Freeman) as he sometimes narrates through the film. He's describing Andy's escape through a tunnel he dug and hid by a poster. This is a great movie, though it's on cable TV so often, I'm almost getting tired of it.

Answer: The Blues Brothers

Spoken by Joliet Jake (John Belushi) as he tries to explain to his former fiance (Carrie Fisher) why he didn't show up at their wedding. He finally removes his glasses and charms her with his eyes. What a movie!

11. "No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her." "So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?" "No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too." From which movie is this exchange?

Answer: When Harry Met Sally

Harry seems like he's got life all figured out, doesn't he? Sally is often surprised at his findings. This conversation takes place while they're driving together early in this movie, which I think is one of Billy Crystal's best.

12. "He'll keep calling me, he'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This is ridiculous, ok I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go." From which movie is this quote?

Answer: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Can't miss this movie. This quote is from Cameron (Alan Ruck) as he sits in his car in the driveway, trying to decide if he should pick up Ferris for a day on the town. Ruck was 30 years old when he played this high school student! He was also funny on the TV show "Spin City".

Answer: Trading Places

Lewis (Aykroyd) is trying to pawn his watch after the Dukes make him poor. The pawnbroker is sure the watch is hot and only gives him $50 for it. One of Eddie Murphy's best movies.

Answer: Vacation

The quote is from Cousin Eddy, played by Randy Quaid. He's setting up his poor financial situation before asking Clark (Chevy Chase) for some cash.

Answer: Ghostbusters

Spoken by Bill Murray's character when they're trying to get the mayor to let them go after Gozer the Destructor. Fun movie. Bill has several great lines. Feel free to write me with YOUR favorite movie quotes and I'll try to use them in future quizzes.
