Great 80's Movie Lines Week - Day 1

I've decided to do something a little different this week. As most of you know I love movies. What you may not know is I was a teenager in the 80's and it's my favorite decade. In no other decade could we have gotten away with the clothes, the hair, the make-up and the all around zaniness that the 80's represents. So I have visited the past, re-watched some of my favorite 80's movies and made lists of some of the fabulous lines. All this week I'm going to be posting them and giving you a chance to win some DVD's. I have Special Editions of The Princess Bride and The Breakfast Club to give away. Each day between now and Friday, I will post quotes from three different movies, all you have to do is leave a comment with your guess as to which movie the lines came from. You have until midnight on Saturday, Nov 7th to post and then on Sunday I will put the names of all the commenters who guessed all the movies correctly in The Hat and draw two winners. If no one guesses them all then I will go with the names of those who guess the most correctly. And one final rule, you have to be a follower or a subscriber.

I'll list the movies as A, B, C so it will be easier for you to post your guess. And I will tell you what type of movie it is, since some are a little more obscure than others.

"A" - This slimy movie gave the world a new view of marshmallows. ( It's a comedy)

"Ray, When someone ask you if you're a god, you say "YES"!"

"Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown....THROW IT!"

"Human sacrifica, dogs and cats living togeher.... mass hysteria!"

"This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions."

"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."

"I don't have to take this abuse from you, I've got hundreds of people dying to abuse me."

"Well, this is great. If the ionization-rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities, we can really bust some heads... in a spiritual sense, of course."

"Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance."

"Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the dead?"

"Our courteous and efficient staff is on call 24 hours a day to serve all your supernaturalelimination needs."

As they say on TV. I'm sure there's one big question on everybody's mind, and I imagine you are the man to answer that. How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?"


"B" - This movie showed a family that knew how to stick together. It's a horror movie.

" There is no death. It is only a transition to a different sphere of consciousness."

"This house is clean."

"They're here"

"I AM addressing the living." " I was trying to answer her with my mind."

"I don't know what hovers over this house but it was strong enough to punch a hole in this world."

"There is peace and Serenity in the light."

"So what side of the rainbow are working tonight, dr. Lesh."

"We own all the land. We've already made arrangements to relocate the cemetery."

" You son of a bitch. You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you?"


"C" - This movie kept millions awake all night and was one of Johnny Depp's first films.. It's a horror movie.

" He's dead honey, because mommy killed him."

" Oh, I feel like a million bucks. They say you've bottomed out when you can't remember the night before."

"Guys can have nightmares too ya know. Ya ain't got a corner on the market or somethin'..."

"You dreamed about the same creep I did."

"I just asked you to do one thing, to stay awake and watch me and to wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream, and what did you do, you shit?"

"I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

  7. "Well I kinda struck out on this one," said The Old Silly with a sheepish grin. But I did enjoy the post and kudos to those who got 'em right. I AM a big fan of great one liners in movies, though. One of my faovrites is in "A Few Good Men" when Jack Nicholson says to the uppity snotty nosed Harvard Lawyer in a Marine's suited Tom Cruise after being harangued on the stand to tell the truth, "You can't HANDLE the truth!"

  9. Zia- you have the 80's spirit. I love that.

    Marvin- kudos for you for not just putting down the answers. I thought about listing..."Who ya gonna call?" and "1, 2 Freddies coming for you, 3, 4...." but I thought those would be too obvious. Had to try to make it a little challenging.

    Missy- Thanks! Glad to see another 80's movie lover.
