Movies meme redux

[graculus]

So, any more guesses for the remaining movies left over from here? A hint: there are a couple of trends going on in my movie choices of the entire list, one regarding leading men and one regarding directors... ;)

"My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." Blazing Saddles, guessed by sg1scribe (who cheated) and blktauna (who didn't). ;)

"A thousand innocent people get killed every day! But a millionaire's pet gets detonated, and you're marked for life." Grosse Pointe Blank, guessed by mer1973

"We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!"

"Well of course you can't reach him. He's off saving the rain forest, or recycling his sandals or some shit." Con Air, guessed by the4ts

"An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a civilized conversation over a bowl of Cocoa Puffs."

"Say Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plate so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?" Fargo, guessed by the4ts

"You're acting like a pack of rabid dogs. And that, gentlemen, simply will not do."

...it's driving me crazy because I'm certain the "Well of course you can't reach him" one is being said about John Cusack, but I can't for the life of me remember which movie. :-P

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Why, yes it is... godawful movie, but he looks great all the way through it, so I forgive him! :)

Is the first one from Beautiful Mind?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[sg1scribe.livejournal.com]

*pout* I'm sure that's from a movie I've seen. It's going to bug me now.

Blazing Saddles

Yes, I cheated because it was driving me crazy. And yes I am old enough to have seen this movie at the cinema when it was first released.

I could have used 'Candygram for Mongo' but that would have been far too easy... ;)

Is #2 from Trading Places?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Nope.

"A thousand innocent people get killed every day! But a millionaire's pet gets detonated, and you're marked for life."

I've heard this one...Is it Grosse Point Blank?

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yes! :)

"Well of course you can't reach him. He's off saving the rain forest, or recycling his sandals or some shit."

I'm pretty sure this one is Con Air

Say Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plate so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?

That's an easy one from one of my fav films, Fargo.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes. :)

::is much ashamed that she got the Con Air one (and quickly hides away her video of said film) but did have some help with some previous comments left beforehand that triggered her memory. Really. She hasn't watched the film more than 4 times. Honest!::

That movie is just so bad in so many ways... *loves on John Cusack* ;)
