39: A small test...

[samuraiprosecutor]

Certain upcoming plans have reminded me that I have yet to post this. I saw it on blutendimpulsge's journal some time ago, but neglected to do it myself. The following are quotes from some of my favorite films. The goal, of course, is to figure out which films. Correct answers will be rewarded with a measure of respect for your obviously excellent taste in movies. It should go without saying, but I'm sure there's a need to say it anyway; refrain from looking up the answers on the internet.


1. What a creature must sit on the throne who lets a man like you deal out his justice.

2. My theory is that everyone is a potential murderer.

3. Rupert's extremely radical. Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read but actually can think?

4. Man is born crying. When he has cried enough, he dies.

5. Only by interrogating the other passengers could I hope to see the light, but when I began to question them, the light, as Macbeth would have said, thickened. -Guessed by Wright

6. --I haven't lived a good life. I've been bad, worse than you could know.

--You know, that's good, because if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we'd never get anywhere. -Guessed by darkmirror_vr2

7. You Americans, you're all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions. -Guessed by Wright

8. We are men of action, lies do not become us. -Guessed by machine_purist

9. Quaffable, but uh...far from transcendent.

10. I heard the music of true forgiveness filling the theater, conferring on all who sat there, perfect absolution. God was singing through this little man to all the world, unstoppable, making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar. -Guessed by sine_sole_sileo

11. Progress always comes late.

12. People gotta talk themselves into law and order before they do anything about it. Maybe because down deep they don't care. They just don't care.

13. And really, I think what we're talking about is standards, basically; very, very specific, rigid, you could say, but in this world where would we be without them, I think. And notice where we are.

14. History comes in black and white. Hindsight comes in shades of grey.

15. --I don't know if I oughta go sailin' down no hill with nothin' between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic.

--Do you really think it matters, E-? -Guessed by Wright


Additionally, I'm curious. What movies would you recommend?
