Monday's Thirteen: Episode Five

[ellyssian]

Welcome to Monday's Thirteen, the movie quote guessing game.

Answers will be screened. Those who guess correctly will have their name listed with the quote as soon as I can. More than one person can claim a quote, so the movie's name won't be revealled until the weekend game-end.

On Wednesday, some additional hints will be posted for leftover Double Quotes (two-week veterans of the game). Any surviving Triple Quotes will get their hint from the prior week sorted out and matched up. Fridays will see any unguessed Triple Quotes matched with another quote.

Anything that makes it to four weeks is probably too difficult for you all to guess is a real challenge. It will be elevated to Sudden Death status - the first correct guess gets the credit for it, and, unlike earlier stages of the game, subsequent guesses just don't count for squat. Instead of waiting for the weekend, I'll expose the winners *and the movies* for Sudden Death quotes as soon as I can. Sudden Death quotes will also get the benefit of an extra quote Tuesday through Friday in an attempt to get rid of them and make room for something easier that you folks can handle new.

Enjoy!

5 - Bringing up Baby
13 - Harry Potter the First in a Series of Eight

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

I kind of suspected you'd be the one to get #5 - you and/or Nea.

[bookgirlwa.livejournal.com]

6. Beaches?

13. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - the twins.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Nope on #6, yes on #13!

[kay-brooke.livejournal.com]

#13 is from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[blackbyrd2.livejournal.com]

3 is Krull

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yes it was - and if you had been at band practice on the Sunday before, you could have mentioned it before noone234 did, but he had a slight advantage! =)

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

1. Lethal Weapon
2. Krull
13. Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Good on #1 (and, of course #13)!

#2, however, was *not* Krull. #3 was.

You get points from that, but you missed the Top Sekrit message asking you to check your work! =)

[nin-man.livejournal.com]

Oh! 2 is First Knight

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Correct! I'm surprised that one lasted so long, really.

[aequitaslevitas.livejournal.com]

9 is from Ice Age
13 is from the Harry Potter. The first, I believe...

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes, you believe correctickly.

my guesses

[thenea.livejournal.com]

8. Gormenghast (I knew the source for the quote, but I had to Google for the spelling...) (I keep trying to decide if I want to buy that on DVD... It's on my list but keeps getting pushed down by other things.)

13. Harry Potter #1

Re: my guesses

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

I kept missing bits when it originally aired on PBS - I think it coincided with a pledge drive. The DVD does have some good spiffs - it's really neat seeing the cast - especially Barquentine - in costume but out of character. Great film, though!

[belgatherial.livejournal.com]

2. First Knight? OR Men in Tights. ;P

I know 6. I *know* I do. But I can't place it. Aargh.

9 is Ice Age.

I know 12 too. *sigh*

13 is Harry Potter and the Philosopher... er... Sorceror's (in the US) Stone. (That always bugged me... )

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Your first guess on #2 was right. #9 & 13, likewise. I couldn't tell you if you got #6 &12 right, though! =)

[nightwind292.livejournal.com]

you said who guessed, but you didn't say what they ARE...

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

I announce the winners on the weekend - unanswered quotes go on to the next week. More than one person can get the correct answer (as this week's #13 shows...)

The only exception to this are the Sudden Death quotes - they've been around for four or more weeks, and the first correct guess gets those right away.

[nightwind292.livejournal.com]

oh, and I'd like to say, i think 6 is something groucho would say.

11. Cinderella 3, or happily n-ever after

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Nope! Keep guessing!

You know, after you mentioned it, I could read #6 in Groucho's voice... but he was already in the ground half a dozen years before this particular movie was released!

[the-dark-snack.livejournal.com]

4. Dogma
6. To Be or Not to Be
10. Harvey
11. Hellraiser 2

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

No on #4, yes to the rest!

[celticboy.livejournal.com]

12 Black Knight?

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yep! You got it!

[the-dark-snack.livejournal.com]

I have "To Be or Not to Be" practically memorized. I am always quoting it. It's the only Mel Brooks film my mother liked (probably because it was a remake) and we watched it a lot.

[brandedeclipse.livejournal.com]

Is 4 Eddie and the Cruisers?
and 7 is from Feirce Creatures.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yes to both, but you probably realized that already. =)
