Retro Tuesday: ’80s Movies Quiz #1

Okay, name the movie from which the quote is taken, and the character(s) and/or actor(s) speaking:

1. “So you lost your job? I’ve lost twenty of them since graduation. Plus a wife and kid. And, in a new development this morning, a handful of hair in the shower drain.”

2. “Wait a minute–he’s after you. Who the hell are you?”
“Well, I’m a romance novelist.”
“You’re what? What are you doing here?”
“I told you, my sister’s life depends on me.”
“Ah, don’t give me that shit. I thought you were donating a kidney or something.”

3. “You’re not the man I knew ten years ago.”
“It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”

4. “I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy.”

5. “Ray. When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say ‘yes!’”

(All right, I know some of these are easy…but they made me laugh out loud!)

    3. Raiders of the Lost Ark

    5. Ghostbusters

  2. Heather Harper says:

    I’m stumped on #1 too.

    And that line from NOES has always given me the creeps.

  3. Colleen Gleason says:

    I knew these were too easy, but I loved the one from Romancing the Stone.

    As for number 1, think Brat Pack.

  4. Mailyn says:

    I suck at this, especially because I hated the 80’s. Well, I still do. OMG the clothes…the hair!!!! LOL!

  5. Zeek says:

    OH, I know # 1!

    “you know what it is? It’s St. Elmo’s Fire.

    And that’s your answer too!

    Signed,
    Zeek (Child of the 80’s)

  6. Colleen Gleason says:

    Yeah, Zeek! You got it! You gals are all too good at this.

    Next week, I’ll make sure they’re harder. Mwahhahaaahaaaaa!!!

  7. Janice Lynn says:

    Number one good thing about having to work…the answer to Colleen’s 80s trivia is already posted by the time I get home & I don’t have to rack my brain all day trying to figure them out. :)

    Loved the Romancing the Stone one, too!!!

  8. Dane Bramage says:

    I only knew two of them. And I usually am pretty good at these things. It’s probably because I’ve only seen to of these movies. So does that make me 2 for 5 or am I 2 for 2?

  9. Colleen Gleason says:

    Well, Dane, I figure if you haven’t seen ‘em you can’t know’em…so I’ll give you two for two. Congrats! The first person who got all potentials right! LOL.

  10. Traci says:

    #3 is commonly quoted around my house. :)

    Thanks for visiting Haystacks.
