Fresh off of Surrealism really takes it out of you (or rather a friend) comes yet another first-line meme. This one’s the first lines of ten favorite movies. As such, it’s likely a little more difficult. First lines are not necessarily the most memorable quotes. But feel free to guess anyway. The films aren’t obscure, but the lines may be:

  1. Whoa there! [Monty Python and the Holy Grail, guessed by Eric]
  2. He was the most extraordinary man I ever knew. [Lawrence of Arabia, guessed by Christy]
  3. The young girl sat perfectly still in the confessional… [Wonder Boys, guessed by Christy]
  4. Beat it, Mottola. [The Sting]
  5. Come on, son, this is no place for us. [12 Monkeys] — Huh. That’s what I get for relying on online screenplays. The first line of the film is actually “No!”
  6. No, please….No, no goddamn you. [Unforgiven]
  7. You feeling any better? [The Princess Bride, guessed by Sharon]
  8. We’re exiting the time knot now sir! [Galaxy Quest, guessed by Christy]
  9. Here’s the deal: we are in the garden, right, and everything is great, and there’s this tree, okay, and the man says, “ooh, see that tree? You don’t eat the fruit of that tree.” [A Life Less Ordinary]
  10. All right, ladies and gents, comical poems suitable for the occasion extemporized and thought up before your very eyes. [Mary Poppins, guessed by Christy]

As with the book meme below, I’ll post answers by the weekend.
