Ooh, fun! Several are familiar, but the only ones I can pin down right now are:

5. The Princess Bride

8. Say Anything

[intertext.livejournal.com]

Correct on both counts!

[tree_and_leaf]

6 is "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but none of the others ring particular bells...

[intertext.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[lidocafe.livejournal.com]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my all-time favorites too, and would probably win for best allusion in the title as well.

[a-d-medievalist.livejournal.com]

7 is The Great Escape
15 might be Jurassic Park or Aliens

[intertext.livejournal.com]

7 is correct :)

[intertext.livejournal.com]

PS - 15 is neither of those.

4. Melanie Griffith to Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl.

11. Harrison Ford to the French archeologist Bellocq in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

13. what-his-face to Kevin Costner in Bull Durham.

[intertext.livejournal.com]

Absolutely correct!

[lidocafe.livejournal.com]

Bull Durham was one of the sexiest romantic comedies ever.

[ladyofastolat.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh! Number 2: Star Wars!

[intertext.livejournal.com]

YES :)

[lidocafe.livejournal.com]

I see Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (3), Charade (10--one of Sarah's favorites), and Fargo (9--the word snippy was the giveaway). The romantic one sounds very familiar but I can't call it to mind, and kudos on quoting the BEST line from Say Anything. I love the way Cusack delivers that speech.

[intertext.livejournal.com]

hahaha. I thought you would know most of them :) I'm surprised you didn't get 14, though I deliberately chose a difficult quote. You are, of course, absolutely right on the ones you've guessed.

[lidocafe.livejournal.com]

Is it Breakfast at Tiffany's? Probably not, because you don't really like that movie, do you? Is it Sabrina? Could there be two Audrey Hepburn quotations in the same meme?

[intertext.livejournal.com]

There could...

[lidocafe.livejournal.com]

Ohohoh! Roman Holiday! (Shame on me, we even own a copy of that.)

Right . . . because she's a princess . . . right . . . and she's used to big rooms . . . right . . . and he's a paltry (but incredibly handsome) reporter . . . right? Is that right?

[intertext.livejournal.com]

Yes :) hee. Gotta be one of the most romantic movies... evah.

Le mouton, c'est moi

I had to do this in my own LJ.
