Laurenji Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Unfortunately I'm not enough of a movie buff...I recognize a handful of them, but I'm not sure I could come up with the whole list...my Google-fu isn't quite up to blackbelt levels, especially with modified quotes...

67alecto Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 May take a shot at this once I finish the mountain of assignments I'm working on. My movie knowledge and google-fu are both pretty good For the slightly obscure movies, the quotes are more obvious. There are even a couple w/ a corresponding youtube video.Good luck!

It is often mistakenly attributed to 2001: A Spacy Odyssey because the events surrounding the quote take place in that movie but the actual scene is from the sequel. It does, however, appear in the novel 2001. I don't feel too bad about it, because if you google "My God It's Full Of Stars", the first hit the wiki of the 2001(book), the 2nd is the wiki for the 2010 movie, the 3rd is the youtube clip of the intro from 2010, and the 4th is a web page talking about how that quote didn't appear in 2001, but instead was in 2010.The winner is....Burizado. Thanks to everyone for playing! Quote Repairing a lifetime of bad habits... Link to comment
