Movie Quotes - Guess 'em

I love Time. It’s never biased, waits for none and never quits. Past week has been quite lazy and busy. So, apologies for staying low and breathing less on the blogosphere. It calls for a less serious post.

This is my second one on the movie quotes. The first one drew some audience and was 7 months ago. It was unlike Time, predominantly biased on language and the concept. I have tried to stay away from such in this post. Tamil movie quotes (in Tanglish) are also included this time. So, here you go, guess these movie quotes. In your comments list them as E1 or E2 for the English ones and T1 or T2 for the Tamil ones.
Donot google it or see the comments section before guessing. You might spoil the fun of it!

Disclaimer: On the Tamil quotes, Mr. & Mrs. Google were not able to find any database dedicated to the South Indian cinema quotes and henceforth I trusted my memory. So if my line and length are not the way it’s supposed to be, you are welcome to suggest some corrections.

English

  1. ...the things that people in love do to each other, they remember. And if they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.
  2. .....you've never looked at a woman and been truly vulnerable. Known that someone could kill you with a look. That someone could rescue you from grief. That God had put an angel on Earth just for you. And you wouldn't know how it felt to be her angel.
  3. . . . you could call it a "communal farm," I suppose. But we've all come to the same conclusion - our Gita, the Muslim's Koran or your Bible - it's always the simple things that catch your breath - "Love thy neighbor as thyself" - not always practiced - but it's something we Hindus could learn a lot from.
  4. Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating
  5. My father once said to me that you don't choose the things you believe in, they choose you.
  6. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.
  7. People want leadership. And in the absence of genuine leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership, Mr. President. They're so thirsty for it, they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.

Tamil ( in Tanglish)

  1. Paathu welai sei. Paatha udnai welai seiyaade
  2. Podhuva ambalinga modalla thappa mudivu edupaanga, aana anda anubavathla adhuku appram sariya mudivu edupaanga. Aaana pombalinga appadi illainga, modaliye sariyana mudivu than edupaaanga aana appram adhu sariya thaan iurkumnnu nenachi thappu thappa mudivu edupaanga
  3. Ganesan! Naan unga ponna kalyanam panika aasai padren. Amudhava thatha eduka virupa padren. Modaluku unga sammadham wenum mathaddhuku unga kei ezhuthu.
  4. Naan RRRRomba artist sir...!
  5. Namaku oruthara pidhiruchi naa, avanga enna senjaalum pidika arabichuidum. Ade maadri namaku oruthara pidikama poiduchi na, avanga evlo naladhu senjaalum adhu pidikaaadhu
  6. Adutha vela sothuku vazhi illama irundhirukaya? vaangina kadana thirumbi kuduka mudiyaama ungamma serupadi vaangaradha paathirukaya? padikavendiya vayasula naadagathula vesham potirukaya? unnakenna appa headmaster govt sambalam, tamil kathukuduthutaaru pesara
  7. …Okay!...Othukaren… Unna modal thadava pathadhulende enaku pidichindhudhu..naan kaamchikala. Inime mariachi projanam illa. Kalayanam panikalam!! Inilendhu correcta oru maaasathula kalyanam panikalam.

Barath - You've probably posted the answers by now, but let me go ahead and try.

E2 - Good Will hunting???
E4 - Eternal Sunshine ...
E6 - American beauty.
E7 - American president (Think this is M J Fox's quote)

I've given up on E1. No clue. Same goes for E3. Could be either Gandhi or "The making of a Mahatma".

Now for E5 - I have seen this movie in the last 10 days. Which means it could be any of 20-25 movies ;-). I think I am gonna put my money on minority report. Somehow kept confusing that line with "Things that you own end up owning you" - from ... can ya guess, Barath?

Let me check my answers.

It's actually not very tough.

Here goes another clue.

With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels.

There, I've made it dead easy.
