Here's a fun meme I saw on Lynne's Little Corner of the World.The Rules!
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. (I picked 10 of my favorite Irish movies.) 2. Go to IMDb (Internet Movie Database) and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them here for everyone to guess (if you know them all, please don't guess every one). 4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. 5. No Googling or IMDb-ing. (That would be cheating, and no fun!)
Here are my quotes and hints: All these movies are set in Ireland! Don't think Irish mobs in America, Think Dublin, Limerick, etc!
(The Quiet Man, one of my all time favorites! Miriam has written a lovely post about this, her favorite movie, too!)
(Waking Ned Divine! Great job Mary!)
(The Snapper! Mary's gettin' giggie wid it!)
(The Van and Mary Rocks!)
(The Commitments! Way to go, Diane!)
6.) All is nothing, therefore nothing must end.
(My Left Foot! Give that Mary a shillelagh!)
(Darby O'Gill and the Little People! W2G Tiffany!)
8.) Fairy land was never like this!
(Finian's Rainbow! Mary Donley got this jewel by contacting me through e-mail! You Go Gal!)
9.) I recognize these hedges by their dullness.
(Angela's Ashes! Faith and Begorrah Deana!)
Those are tough! I like the last one. But I don't have a clue what movie these are from.
ReplyDelete#2 - Waking Ned Devine?
ReplyDelete#4 - The Commitments?
Ew, they are tough, Lynne. Two movies are based on books by Roddy Doyle I read in the early 90's. I guess I'll be leaving clues as the week goes on. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, to number two, Mary! Good Job! Um, no to number four. Thanks for playing! ;D
#5 - The Commitments!
ReplyDeleteYes, Diane! Give that girl a shamrock! :D
ReplyDelete#1 is from The Quiet Man, which I just posted about today here.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Miriam! It is my favorite John Wayne and my hubby is quite pleased with this line. He likes to recite it when I go running. Bah! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, we also saw the little town in Ireland where they filmed the bar scenes.
#4 Is this a Roddy Doyle book? Perhaps The Van? I'm not sure the film went by the same title...
ReplyDeleteYes! It is The Van Mary! You Rock! ;D
ReplyDelete#10 Agnes Browne???
ReplyDeleteNo, Mary it tis not. Wee little one you must try again. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis IS tough! But it was fun, too! And I had to Google #10 because it was driving me nuts. I won't give it away, though! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou like a lot of Irish movies!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Tiffany! I may have to give a couple of hints...One is an ole fashion Disney. ;)
ReplyDeleteI went through a Roddy Doyle phase in the late 90s and one is still un-named on the list, Angela. I love me everything Irish; especially, my dark Irish hubby! :D
#3 The Snapper???
ReplyDeleteI'm a RD fan as well. Your recent comment made me take another stab at these. I've been checking back throughout the day because I really really want to know the answers LOL!
Yes, Mary! I'm doing an Irish gig! I always thought RD should have named The Van the "Chipper" instead. I'm a matcher. ;D
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thank you for posting after me. NOW I can go to bed! I'm out of guesses for the rest of the lines. I'll keep checking back, though. I thought The Van should be titled The Chipper too! I really miss the Barrytown folks. I wish he'd continue that series.
ReplyDeleteGood Night... :)
ReplyDeleteIs #8 The Legend of Darby O'Toole? If so, your hint (and a good night's sleep) helped. I'm not even sure I'm remembering that title correctly--blast from the past!
ReplyDeleteOh, no Tiffany! So close, but you have the number wrong and the title is way off, but the Darby part is right. Maybe you need another night to sleep on it. ;D
ReplyDelete#7-Darby O'Gill and the Little People?? (That afternoon nap really paid off--just kidding.) :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Tiffany! May the luck of the Irish bless you and all your naps. ;D
ReplyDelete#10 Agnes Browne?
ReplyDeleteNever mind the recent guess. I see I already guessed that and was wrong : P Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most, LOL.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Mary! Tis a good guess, though. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Maggie! Welcome to the Non-Fiction Five Challenge! I'm so happy to have you with us. :) Have fun seeking out your book choices!
ReplyDeleteAngela's Ashes is the one about the confession but I don't think I have seen any of these others at all.
ReplyDeleteYAY Deana! Yes, number 10 is Angela's Ashes! I hope you had a very green St. Patty's Day! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! I'm looking forward to reading some nonfiction in the science and math department. Should be fun! :)
#6 - The Field?
ReplyDeleteOh, no, Mary. Sorry. Think Daniel Day Lewis...
ReplyDeleteAh, My Left Foot!!! Loved that film.
ReplyDeleteYAY Mary! Yes!
ReplyDelete#8 is Finian's Rainbow
ReplyDeleteFinian's Rainbow is #8
ReplyDeleteMaggie! PLEASE tell me the answer to #9!!!
ReplyDeletePretty please???
ReplyDeleteCorrect Anon and BubbaBob42, but an e-mailer beat ya to it, sorry. Thanks for playing though. :)
ReplyDeleteNumber 9 is Far and Away the Kidman/Cruise fiasco, Mary! I believe you deserve to be crowned the Irish Queen for all the answers. Thanks for playing! :D
Thanks, Maggie. That was fun! I didn't have a clue of Far and Away. Saw that only once when it first came out.
