The movie quotes meme that's going around - try to guess what movie these are from. I only did ten since my knowledge of movies is rather limited.

1. "We're not gonna have a war, we're gonna have the appearance of a war." Wag the Dog (Gotten by edminster)
2. "In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations." Sneakers (Gotten by psychowolfpup)
3. "It can only be attributable to human error." 2001: A Space Oddysey (Gotten by dr_dos)
4. "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!" Planet of the Apes (Gotten by dr_dos)
5. "I smell like a yak!"
6. "Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!" Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Gotten by edminster)
7. "It is most gratifying that your enthusiasm for our planet continues unabated. As a token of our appreciation, we hope you will enjoy the two thermonuclear missiles we've just sent to converge with your craft. To ensure ongoing quality of service, your death may be monitored for training purposes. Thank you." The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Gotten by dr_dos)
8. "Actually, there is no Hell. Although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close."
9. "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" Back to the Future (Gotten by dr_dos)
10. "What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?"

4. I'm pretty sure that's Planet of the Apes, or Beneat the Planet of the Apes, or some Planet of the Apes movie.
7. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
9. Back to the Future and anybody who doesn't know that should be shot.

LOG IN >:(

Correct! Though those were among the easy ones. Especially 9.

Am I the only person not having login problems?

I have no clue what the first two are, but I'm very interested in knowing now. :)

Wait a minute, is #1 Canadian Bacon?

Where the president has low approval ratings so he wants to start conflict with Canada?

#2 sounds familiar too and I want to say Fahrenheit 9/11

#3 I'm guessing is 2001: A Space Oddysee or something because I'm just imagining a HAL voice saying that despite me having never seen any of the movies other than a small amount of 2010.

[eikenboom.livejournal.com]

Right on #3.

#2 isn't actually a politcal movie, despite the quote.

[psychowolfpup.livejournal.com]

Oh oh oh oh, I have to call #2. I love the movie.

Sneakers! (in fact...I think I'll watch that today while I'm home sick, hehe)

[eikenboom.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's probably my favorite movie. I was also considering the bit at the beginning, where they're about to "donate" money from Nixon's personal account into the National Organization to Legalize Marijauna.

I've got number Six.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

[eikenboom.livejournal.com]

Yep! I was starting to worry that nobody remembered that scene.

[edminster.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think we're all stumped.
Is number One the movie 'Wag the Dog'?

[eikenboom.livejournal.com]

Yes! Probably one of my favorite movies, that.
