I actually can’t quote any movies. I’m not very good at bowling but still play and chocolate chip cookies. My mom made excellent ones. 😊
Bowling is fun, and I’m not good at it either. I want some chocolate chip cookies! I bet your mom’s were the bomb!
Thank you for playing, Lynette. Happy Saturday!
Thanks, you too.
Nice to learn more about you. I can quote Family Man and Peggy Sue Got Married- both Nic Cage films. 🙂
Those are great movies to quote! Happy weekend to you 😁
Fun questions, Kymber!
The Princess Bride
Baking
Play-Doh
Answering these and reading everyone’s replies was a perfect distraction while I’m stuck dealing with some family law lawyers today. Thanks for the fun escape!
I’m so glad you were able to answer the questions as a distraction from all you’re going through.
Your responses are great and who can forget the smell of Play-Doh? LOL
Hope you have a good weekend!
What’s a movie you can quote without trying? A league of their own. I have seen it so many times.
What’s a hobby you enjoy even if you’re terrible at it? Any type of Trivia games. I am not very good at, but I do learn new things every time. LOL
What smell takes you straight back to childhood? I would have to say wet grass. When I smell it, I am brought back to my childhood where I used to play in the rain all the time.
Love that movie! So many good things to quote in it.
My sisters and I used to play Trivial Pursuit, but we called it “two guesses and a clue.” LOL
Playing in the rain sounds great!
Thank you so much for playing. Happy Friday!
I love the smell of fresh cut grass. That and coffee (even though I don’t drink it). The smell of campfires always brings me back to my childhood.
Oh, yes, campfires. I love that answer!
Great questions. These are my answers
Q1. What’s a movie you can quote without trying? — Dr. Sleep and Interstellar
Q2. What’s a hobby you enjoy even if you’re terrible at it? — learning French. I am doing it but slowly. It was the same thing when I learned English. Some people pick up second languages quickly. I am not one of them. (my native language is Swedish).
Q3. What smell takes you straight back to childhood? — saffron buns
Thank you, Thomas.
Those are great movies to quote!
Well your English is stellar. I’m sure you’ll have French down in no time. I admire others who can learn languages, too, as it’s very difficult for me.
Interesting! I bet those are good!
Thank you so much for playing. Happy Friday!
Hi and Happy Timezones, Kymber!
Here are my answers:
1) I have several. The Princess Bride (Allo! My name is Inigo Montoya! You keeled my father! Preparrre to die!) , Jurassic Park (The point is, you’re alive when they start to eat you!), and Ghostbusters (I find her interesting because she’s a client and she sleeps above her covers! Four FEET above her covers!)(Tell them about the Twinkie!)
2) This is hard for me, because I don’t really enjoy a hobby if I’m not good at it. I’ve tried painting a couple of times, and I really suck at it. Can’t draw, either. Maybe writing. Maybe that’s my answer.
3) Old books. I can still smell the library in my home town, when I was a child. And I can hear the floor creak. ❤️❤️❤️
Happy timezones, Jeff!
I love alll those movies! So many great quotes from those! lol
You’re a great writer! This is a fact. 😀
I love that. The smell of the library definitely takes me back.
Great answers! Thank you so much for playing and I hope you have a great Friday and weekend! 🩷🌺
You are very kind. ❤️ I did finally think of a “hobby,” if it can even be called that, that I enjoy, but I’m pretty bad at, and that’s golf. I do like to go out and play a round of golf, from time to time, but I am very bad at it, and lose lots of golf balls.
I used to live near a golf course and know about lost golf balls. LOL 😀
The important thing is that you’re having a good time playing.
1) Ghostbusters. “Listen! Do you smell something?”
“Want some coffee, Mr. Tully? Yes, have some!”
“There is no Dana, only Zuul.”
“”Gozer the Traveller. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveller came as a large moving Torb! Then during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you.”
“That’s a big Twinkie.”
“If the ionization rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities, we could really bust some heads! In a spiritual sense, of course.”
“I liked the university. They gave us money, resources. You’ve never been in the private sector. They expect results.”
“He says there’s a bear in his apartment!”
“Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!”
“Look, symmetrical book stacking! Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence if 1947!” “You’re right, no human being would ever stack books like this.”
2) I’m terrible at Rocket League but I have fun playing it. Bowling can be fun and I’m awful at that too.
3) The crisp fragrance of my brother’s farts. Christmas trees. Popcorn.
Lololol 😂 I love the quotes and am glad you included them in your answer.
I’m the same way with bowling.
Lol 😂 ah, childhood.
Thank you so much for playing. Love your answers.
I enjoyed your answers. Here are mine…
Movie. Right now I’d say Top Gun Maverick but there are lots of others.
Hobby: Playing the harp.
Smell: Bread baking. We lived downwind from a commercial bakery.
There are so many highly quotable movies, aren’t there? I like the one you chose.
Playing the harp is a terrific answer.
Oh I bet that was really nice, living downwind from a bakery.
Thank you so much for playing! Happy Thursday!
Maverick was surprisingly great. The rare long-anticipated sequel that honored and matched the original. Exceeded it in many ways, even.
I agree, Big Buddy!
Cool answers
Thank you, Jo-Anne! Appreciate you!
Here’s mine

Thank you so much, Di! Can’t wait to read your answers!
The movie I can quote without trying is Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart.
What’s a hobby I enjoy, even if I’m terrible at it, is woodworking.
The smell that takes me straight back to childhood is Three-in-One oil from using it on my bike.
I absolutely love Casablanca! Wonderful that you can quote it.
Woodworking looks like fun.
I can see how that would be. 🙂
Thank you so much for playing, John. Loved your answers!
😊
Fun questions and I like reading your answers, especially the fresh mown grass! Here are my answers:

Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked the questions and my answers. 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you said! Heading right over.
The Jerk, knitting, a pipe (my dad smoked one) 😊
The Jerk is great, and so is knitting! I love pipe smell, too.
Thank you so much for playing! Happy Thursday!
I can sing all the songs from The Sound of Music and Phantom of the Opera. I paint, bake, cook and write and I’m endlessly learning and trying to improve. The smell of the ocean brings back happy childhood memories 😁
I love musicals, and those are great ones to know the songs to!
You are so good at those things! All of them. 😀 Such talent.
Now that is lovely.
Thank you so much for playing! Happy Thursday!
Tombstone
Painting pet portraits
Cow manure… Memories of my grandparents’ dairy farm.
* My laptop died. Been taking a break. 😉
Love me some Tombstone. I’m your huckleberry. 😀
I would love to see your pet portraits.
I bet you have some lovely memories from your grandparents’ farm. How nice.
I hear you on that laptop issue. I went a while with an old borrowed one before I finally broke down and got a new one. I hope all works out well for you in that regard.
Hey Kymber!
What’s a movie you can quote without trying? My Cousin Vinny.
What’s a hobby you enjoy even if you’re terrible at it? Beat Saber. My hand-eye coordination stinks, bits it’s still fun to strap my VR on and play for half an hour.
What smell takes you straight back to childhood? Mom’s Boston baked beans. I just made a pot for Independence Day, too. Yummy!
Hey, Wendy!
I love My Cousin Vinny! lol Great movie to quote!
That does sound like fun!
That sounds really good! I should’ve been to your house on the 4th! hahaha 😀
I hope you’re having a terrific Thursday!
Tombstone
Drawing & painting
Cotton candy
I love Tombstone! I can probably quote that one, too. 😀
And, oh yes, cotton candy! For sure!
Thank you so much for playing, Kim. I really enjoyed your answers!
I love your games!
YAY! That makes me so happy! xo
Here’s my take 💜

Thank you so much, Maggie! I can’t wait to read your answers!
1- The Princess Bride

Oooooh I love The Princess Bride! What a great, quotable movie!
Me either. lol I feel ya’.
Very nice!
I love your answers. Thank you so much for playing! Happy Thursday!
The Mamma Mia musical movies
Painting!
Jean Nate… it’s this very uniquely scented body spray my mom used
Those are great movies!
Painting is great whether you’re good at it or not. 😀
I remember the commercials for Jean Nate! I’ve never smelled it, but I do remember. lol
Thank you so much for your fabulous answers, Paula! Happy Thursday!
I love fresh cut grass. It’s always part of my neighborhood walks because someone is always gardening.
Your walks sound really nice. The smell of freshly cut grass really takes me back.
What’s a movie you can quote without trying? Can’t think of any.
What’s a hobby you enjoy even if you’re terrible at it? Painting. I don’t have a crafty bone in my body.
What smell takes you straight back to childhood? Cow do-do. I was raised on a dairy farm.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Kymber. Love and hugs. ♥
Painting is so enjoyable. Even though I’m not the best at it, I find a lot of pleasure in the process. I like that you paint, too.
LOL When we would drive in the country, my grandma would roll the window down and say, “Smell that fresh air!” lol
You have a fabulous day, too, my friend. xo Love and hugs.
I bet you’re great at painting and sculpting, Kymber. You have such an artistic flair! 🎨
My answers:
1. Moonstruck (Cher, Nicolas Cage)
2. My two hobbies are blogging and photography, neither of which I ‘m terrible at (I don’t think 😅).
3. Chlorine. I spent a lot of time at public swimming pools as a kid.
Love Moonstruck.
You are a master at both those hobbies, my friend! Out of this world!
Oh how nice that must have been!
I just came from your place with your flashback post. Loved it so much!
Happy Thursday!
We have the DVD of Moonstruck and watch it every so often. My husband is Italian, so a lot of it is relatable. 🍷 Thanks for the compliment! 🌹 Both hobbies are all-consuming. 😆 The summers in London (Ontario, where I lived from 1959-1965) were hot and humid, so I spent a lot of time at public pools.
Thanks for reading my post. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💖
I can just see you guys watching the DVD. How fun!
It’s clear you have a passion for what you do. I think it’s all very lovely.
It was my pleasure. 💗🌺
— Probably some science fiction space movies, my favorites.
— I’m good at both of my hobbies.
— Sprinklers and lakes. Running through sprinklers, the clean smell of the water.
YAY for science fiction space movies! Those are great!
I know you’re good at photography! Excellent even. A master.
How fun! I remember doing that, too.
Thank you so much for playing. Happy Thursday!
i could eat a peach for hours
crosswords
cinnamon and vanilla
Face/Off! I haven’t seen that in a long time.
Love your answers. I bet you do well at crosswords because you know so much pop trivia.
Thank you for playing!
No. It’s not LOTR. I know you were probably waiting for that one. LOTR is too massive. It’s Field of Dreams.
Not LOTR! Gasp!! Oh yes, though, you have quoted Field of Dreams many times.
