“Clandestine amours so soon, Mr Blifil?”
by chuckofish
Love is in the air, right? I mean, Valentine’s Day approaches, so aren’t we all madly planning exciting and creative ways to celebrate? Well, maybe not. But okay, we’re all wondering what to watch on Valentine’s Day. Whatever.
In light of that, I thought it was time for another Pop Quiz. Identify the romantic movies from which each of these quotes comes and write your answers in the Comments section. I’ll post the answers later today.
– You seem to be very… earthly for a spirit.
– And you, madam, are enough to make a saint turn to blasphemy!
– How about making me vice president in charge of cheering you up?
– But you don’t know me – you don’t know who I am.
– I know all I want to know. Will you go?
– Is this a courting or a donnybrook? Have the good manners not to hit the man until he’s your husband and entitled to hit you back.
– Yes. Get off my back, lady. Stop living vicariously on what you think I do! There are plenty of warm rolls in the bakery – stop pressing your nose against the window!
– And if you get bored in Oklahoma City, you can always go over to Tulsa for the weekend!
-All a man has to do is be firm. You know how sometimes I have had to be firm with your mother.
-Yes, but father, but what can you do when they cry?
– Hmm… well, uh… that’s quite a question. You just have to make them understand that what you are doing is for their good.
– And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva…So tweasure your wuv.
– The fact that you’re not answering leads me to believe you’re either (a) not at home, (b) home but don’t want to talk to me, or (c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it’s either (a) or (c), please call me back.
– Then you do love me, don’t you? Don’t you?
– You know I do.
– I killed you. Haunt me, then! Haunt your murderer! I know that ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you. I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul.
– You baked today. I can smell fresh bread on you. Sometime today, you cooked with salt pork. Smell that on you, too. You smell all over like soap: you took a bath. And, on top of that, you smell all over like a woman. I could find you in the dark, Mrs. Lowe, and I’m only part Indian.
Honey, there’s a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.”
How’d you do?



I did embarrassingly poorly!! 😬
You. need to watch. more old movies!! Any of these would do.
This is great–I got Charade, The Quiet Man, Pillow Talk, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and Annie Hall…I have guess for several others…but I’ll just let Wheeler fill in the blanks!
Only The Quiet Man and maybe Life With Father?
I got some of them, but definitely not all. I’ve never seen When Harry Met Sally or Annie Hall! Great quiz!
I got Charade, The Quiet Man, Pillow Talk, The Awful Truth, The Princess Bride, Wuthering Heights, Hondo and Annie Hall!
The correct answers are: (title) Tom Jones, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Charade, Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, Pillow Talk, The Awful Truth, Life With Father, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Wuthering Heights, Hondo, and Annie Hall.
How did I miss The Adventures of Robin Hood?! lol
The two sexiest quotes are both John Wayne–I think that’s great. (Stagecoach and Hondo)
