Each movie is from a different decade:
1. “I had a friend once used to collect postage stamps. He always said the one good thing about a postage stamp: it always sticks to one thing ’til it gets there, y’know?”
Solved by Melville (comment #2).
2. “I don’t smoke, I only drink champagne when I’m lucky enough to get it, my hair is naturally natural, I live alone… and so do you.”
Solved by maurinsky (comment #8).
3. “Do sit down, Sergeant. Shocks are so much better absorbed with the knees bent.”
Solved by Evn (comment #5).
4. “The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.”
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #1).
5. “Now look! We’ve figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don’t like the way we figured it! So now, there’s only one way to figure it.”
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #1).
6. “I just don’t like my son spending all his time with a man who carries a gun and goes around whacking people.”
Solved by Barbs (comment #10).
7. “You’re not a god. You can take my word for it; this is twelve years of Catholic school talking.”
Solved by Melville (comment #2).
#4 is James Stewart in The Philadelphia Story (40s). #5 is It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (60s).
#1 is Destry Rides Again (1930’s)
#7 is Groundhog Day (1990’s)
Ah, of course–that’s why 7 was so naggingly familiar.
#2 sounds sooooo familiar, I know I’ve heard it, but I can’t place it. It’s going to bother me all afternoon if someone doesn’t get it quickly.
#3 is The Wicker Man (the good one, not the Nicholas Cage one).
#1 and #4 were the first 2 I came up with, and then I realized I picked 2 more Jimmy Stewart movies, and I had to back away from the Jimmy.
Tom, it’s because I posted it yesterday, and the day before, and the day before…
#2 is Desk Set, and I only know that because I watched it recently.
Ah, thank you, Mo! I can hear Hepburn saying it now.
*phew* That’s a relief. 🙂
# 6 Witness
Should have known it would be Barbs getting the Harrison Ford. 🙂
