Monday's Thirteen: Episode Nine

[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!

#6: Ferngully?

#8: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

#10: Time Bandits

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yes, all around!

[luis-mw.livejournal.com]

#8 sounds like Monty Python & Holy Grail

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

That sounds correct! =)

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

6. I'm going to guess Anastasia because it's the only movie I know of with a talking bat.

8. Clearly, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

# 6, not so much. Bartok has some great lines, but that one's voiced by Robin Williams, and Bartok isn't.

# 8 - clearly. =)

[aequitaslevitas.livejournal.com]

No. 8 I'm going to guess is from the movie including a buny with big sharp nasty teeth, but I'm not sure. Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
No. 11 I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been gotten. From the same movie about a penquin and a cat with teter-tots for brains. =D A Wish for Wings That Work.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

buny? penquin? teter-tots? Oy, you really weren't awake, were you? =)

[rowancat.livejournal.com]

Heh, number 8's practically a freebie ;)

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Nope, you actually have to guess it before I give you credit! =)

[rowancat.livejournal.com]

It absolutely has to be Monty Python's Holy Grail... The Killer Rabbit of

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Ya, Mønti Pythøn ik den Høli Gräilen.

[dustyskinandall.livejournal.com]

12. Thirteen Ghosts!

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[puddock.livejournal.com]

No. 7 Lemony Snicket's A series of unfortunate events

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yep - and you were the only one to realize that! I'm surprised no one else got that one - I thought it was going to be too obvious. I'm wondering how many other movies there are where a boy's head is spared a going-over by flesh-eating leeches... =)

13

[sikander7.livejournal.com]

I am not all that good with films, but I believe number 13 is Pan's Labyrinth. I actually saw it in Spanish, so I translated to get the phrase.

A.

Re: 13

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

You are correct.

[akadriver.livejournal.com]

I am probably totally wrong, but I want to say 5. is from The Lion King.

I'll take a stab at 3 as well as being from Holiday Inn, and now I will have Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in my head all evening...

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yep, totally wrong on both!

With your answer for #3, you're probably thinking of the song Mairzy Doats, which includes part of that line in no-nonsense terms, but not the entirety of it! =)

[thenea.livejournal.com]

Eeep... I nearly forgot. I was so busy on Monday and Tuesday, I kept saying I'd get back to this and it didn't happen. Then it slipped my mind. But here we are still before the end of the week.

4. Kiki's Delivery Service
(It's a good thing my brother likes Studio Ghibli films or I'd never get as many of these...)

8. Holy Grail

10. Time Bandits

(rowancat is right, 8 is pretty much a gimme :) )

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Correct on all of them!

Yeah, #8 was rough. I was kind of hoping for at least one person to pick out Wallace & Grommet, but everyone who answered it got it right. =)
