#2 is Dead Poet's Society, and #4 is The Birdcage. I have no idea what the rest are, but I'll be sure to check back so I can find out!

Edited because I can't seem to code OR spell at 6:30 in the morning.

You got both right!

You know I just realized that 3 out of 10 movies in this list have Robin Williams in them?

[tristantrakand.livejournal.com]

Number 1 (movies) is Mars Attacks.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Well I think I recognize one of the first lines from a song. I believe #5 is "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today."

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Yep! And it has been sung by so many people, that it would be only guessing whose version I've got, so I consider this a complete answer :D

[ink-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Movie quote #9 is from 84 Charing Cross Road.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Correct! Or to speak with Helene herself: ...and I hollered "Comrade!"

Songs:
Only one, I'm afraid. #7. 'John, I'm only dancing' - David Bowie. Funny, because you guessed that one in a meme of mine as well, not too long ago. :)

Movies:
#3. Life as a House? But probably not.
#4. The Bird Cage. Great scene!
#6. Donnie Darko?
#7. I know this one! Argh.
#9. The one with Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft where they correspond for years, but never meet in person. Great film.

Can't wait to hear the answers to these!

Songs:

Hm, I'd think you would know #4...

You got #7 right, and it doesn't surprise me you had that in your meme too, because we obviously both have excellent taste in music ;p

Movies:
#3 Hee! I see how you'd guess that, but it's not.
You got #4 and #6 both right, and you know #7, if only because I think I've got that one in every movie meme I've done so far *facepalm*
You're thinking about the right movie for #9; now what would the title be...?

[samena.livejournal.com]

because we obviously both have excellent taste in music ;p

Of course we do! I have a bit of a David Bowie upsurge of late, and I've been listening to his music quite a lot. I especially like the very early songs.

As for song #4, I should probably know it, but the words did not ring a bell.

I was pretty sure movie #3 wasn't 'Life as a House,' but it could have been. ;) Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know #7 from other movie memes you've done. #9 is '84 Charing Cross Road,' but I admit I read it in ink_gypsy's comment. I don't think I would have thought of the title on my own.

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Movie 5 is Hard Core Logo! \o/

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

[paceus.livejournal.com]

What does #4 mean? Babelfish gives me "If it undulates, then it undulates well." Hee. Is "het" it? I would have thought it's "had". And "als" "as".

I fail at this meme and don't recognise anything.

In this context the Dutch noun 'golven' means both 'make waves' (water) and 'surge' (crowd). It compares the Dutch people to the sea. The next line is 'niet te stuiten, niet te sturen' which would translate into 'unstoppable, unsteerable'.
