So, starting off from the end of TQG3:

"The strict lord Death bids them dance."


Hint: Probably the most famous appearance of Death in cinema (and no, this does not involve Bill and Ted...)


(@Tal: as no-one had started this thread, and as JSBB had passed the torch to me, I thought I should start it off...)

I should know this one but for some reason I am drawing a blank on the title. I have the feeling that I am going to :bang: when I hear the answer.

Anyway, here are the rules as they currently stand.

Someone posts a quote from a movie (no TV shows, music, etc). If you know the movie it came from, and post the answer correctly, then and ONLY then may you post a quote of your own. Unless you're 100% sure you're correct, don't post a quote of your own until you are confirmed correct by the original quoter.

If it's your turn, you must respond with a new quote within 1 day (24 hours) to keep the thread going. Otherwise the thread may be hijacked by the next available impatient jackass.

If the person who's quote you've responded to does not confirm that you are correct within 24 hours of your answer, you are then assumed correct by default, provided no one else chimes in with the correct answer within that time or disputes your answer.

Using a search engine to find the quote is not allowed. The fun of the game is based on our love of useless movie trivia, and thus using a search engine to look up quotes you don't already know is cheating.

After you have posted your answer, feel free to use a search engine to confirm that you are correct but please do not post an answer if you have found it via a search engine. If you do not know an answer and decide to use a search engine to look it up for your own interest/amusement, please do not post the answer here. Obviously there is no way to monitor this so we will rely upon the honour system.

Damn! I was thinking Bill and Ted. Death.... I'll get it, I'll get it.

[EDIT: Is it the seventh seal?]

yes takara, the seventh seal it is!

ok, here's an think piece:

You know what I do? I connect. I get people off!

Is it Almost famous??

In case it is, the following is a softball due to my irregular visits here currently, if it's not correct, someone slap me for jumping the gun!

"When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?"

You are correct Aldazar. It was indeed Almost Famous.

Is your quote from the Green Mile? It sounds like Tom Hanks talking.

It is definitely from the Green Mile.

Oh and I am still :bang: over not remembering The Seventh Seal.

Given JSBB's agreement, I'll post one:

A good conspiracy is unprovable. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line.

That's gotta be conspiracy theory.

Any hints forthcoming DR?

Sure. It's an independant movie (hence the difficulty) starring John Cryer (you may know him as "Ducky" from "Pretty in Pink.") The movie is set in New York, has an area of New York City in the title, and the title is longer than average.

If you need another hint, let me know.

If you need another hint, let me know To tell you the truth I doubt it would help as I suspect that the last clue would give it away for people who have seen/know anything about the film.

I was tempted to ask for another hint but then I figured that I probably had never heard of the film so I looked it up on IMDB.

I suspect that you have a stumper but I have been proven wrong before.

I suspect that you have a stumper MWWWAAHAHAHAHA!! :evil: We'll give it some time. ;)

MWWWAAHAHAHAHA!! You know, that is almost like begging for me to post a quote from a Canadian Indy film next time I get control of the game. :p

I also cheated and looked up the movie. I find it interesting that there are no memorable quotes for the movie listed at IMDB. I then asked a client who owns a video store and he said he has never heard of the movie either.

Congratulations DR you may have been the only person to see this particular movie (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0157182/) .

I'm not sure what the rules are, but I'm pretty sure as a cheater I do not get to post the next quote.

Never seen it either, and having checked out that link to IMDB I'm out too. Actually, I've never even heard of it before and have really only heard of 2 other stars on the cast list.

And here, I thought I'd seen most of Jon Cryer's work.

The movie is called "Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God...Be Back by 5." It's a movie about 2 childhood friends who hear rumors that another childhood friend, whom they haven't heard from in years, has been seen wandering around Coney Island, homeless and muttering strange things. They decide to go find him and rehash a lot of old personal demons along the way. The "Mission from God" part is a code word they used to use in school, whenever one wanted the other to ditch class for something really important. It's a pretty decent movie as indies go, one I rented one weekend a few years back when I was bored and in the mood for something indipendent and artsy. Art school does that to ya.

Don't worry fellas...I won't gloat. MUCH! :D

/me does the cabbage patch.

Okay - well, to keep things going, here's a new one, much easier (hopefully) than the last.

"I've been thinking with my stomach since I was 12 years old. And I've come to the conclusion that my stomach has got sh*t for brains."

That's High Fidelity.

And again here's a major softball:

"Any of you f***ing p***ks move and I'll execute every last one of you m***erf***ers"

We alredy had a pulp fiction quote from Baelzlebub just above. Anyway, I'll post a quote later.

Edit: From one of my favourite movies: There's two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: "Hey pop, let's say we run down there and **** one of them cows". The older one says: "No son. Lets walk down and **** 'em all".

[ May 22, 2004, 00:34: Message edited by: Takara ]

We alredy had a pulp fiction quote from Baelzlebub just above. You must be new to the Quote Game, Takara. Every other quote in this damn game came from Pulp Fiction. :D It just kinda happens that way, I've noticed. Too many good lines in that flick, it's inevitable.

I guess you guys need a hint.

It's a joke told by sean penn in this movie, and is set in gang-land LA.

"Get a load of this guy. He must be 'King of the Wicker People.'"

No, I'm not a 15 year old stoner (18 :D ), just like the movie (a lot). Obviously from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back...

@ Nizidramanii'yt (however the hell you pronounce it)

Apparantly you don't understand the rules of the Quote Game. You don't just post random quotes for fun, it's an actual game with rules. One of which being that you can't post a quote unless you successfully guess the currently posted quote. And you certainly don't follow the quote up with the title of the movie it came from (that kind of kills the whole "guessing game" thing we have going on here). Please follow that format in the future.

For more clarification, the rules of the Quote Game are posted in the first post of every Quote Game thread. Scroll up and read JSBB's first post above.

As such, my quote still stands and needs answering, if you (or anyone) knows it.

Someone else tried this line a month or so ago in another quote type game on a different site. It's from Batman, right?

After 4 quote games, it seems some unintended recycling was inevitable. Yes, it's Batman.

@DR - I don't think it was this game, I think it was a different site that one of my friends is trying to convince me to frequent.


"I'm sorry I bit you... and pulled your hair... and punched you in the face... "

dmc, reduced to using cartoons. Tsk tsk.

Lilo and Stitch, however pathetic that I know.

I liked that movie! Anyway, go on.

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."

Shawshank Redemption. How do I know? Somebody did that one a page ago. :shake:

"Kidnapping for Beginners, Chapter One: Did you even ask for a ransom?"

I'm going to guess "Ruthless People"?

Even if it is wrong, I may have to go out and rent that now that it is stuck in my head.

No, not Ruthless People, but one of my fave Cameron Diaz films - A Life Less Ordinary

and now for a softball not of the recent variety but one of the best lines ever uttered on film:

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

One of absolute favoutites: Casablanca

It was me that posted that Shawshank quote a few weeks ago. Still a good quote though.

Reversal Of Fortune.

Quite right! Excellent film!

Invoking the IJ. Sorry - bored!

"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Nine inches."

Oook as the librarian would say or otherwise: 'time for a hint methinks'.

This is a quote from a Farrelly Brothers film. They're the guys who directed Dumb & Dumber.

Dude, where's my car? Just a guess here.

Nay. "Dude" isn't a Farrelly brothers movie.

Either

Shallow Hal

Hal is shallow for a reason, right?

or

Me myself and Irine

Something Hank may have said.


Too bad I can't remember for sure.

NAY! I'll give another hint, because we're running out of Farrelly Brothers movies. ;)

One of the two stars of this movie is more famous for appearing with another actor, rather than the one he appeared with in this starring role. The OTHER actor became famous by playing a victimized gay sketch artist (in a comedy).

Hint #3: Though funny as hell, it's one of the more poorly perfoming films by the Farrelly's, box-office-wise.

Ok, that's all you get.

Errrr. Stuck on You?

Yes, that's it. Have you actually seen it or did you just play Sherlock Holmes with my hints?

It probably was the last one left :rolleyes:

No, nobody mentioned "There's Something About Mary," "Say It Ain't So," or...that other one I can't remember.

I liked Say it Isn't So..am I the only one?

It's the only Farrelly movie that I know the title of that filled your criteria (never saw it). As I am not a fan of theirs, it was pretty much guess-work.


Anyway, in honor of the abstinence thread in AoDA --

No. No booze. Sex. I want sex. That one. The sultry ***** with the fire in her eyes. Bring her to me. Take her clothes off and bring her to me.

that would be from MASH the movie.

"Nice dress... looks like wallpaper." :D

Forever Young?

Yup! It's Mel Gibson's Forever Young. You're up Master.

Okay, for all you Irish folks and St.Patty's Greengrocers, here's a passage from a movie I recently saw:

I DO it!
-BANG-

- I can't believe that f***ing happened!

later:

- Your what!? YOUR WHAT? HEH? I shoot myself in the head if you remember the name of that cat, your precious lil...?
Skippy
- Aw Gee! What color was it, bi**h?

The Boondock Saints. Fantastic movie.

You want to hear about some Indian casino, I want to see some goddamn hot chocolate! And a piece of pecan ******* pie!

Reindeer Games?

Correct JSBB. Incidently, it was called Deception when it was released in this country. You're up.

I know, I promised a quote from a Canadian Indy film. I actually have a couple ready but given that even the all-mighty google couldn't help you get them I figure there is no point in bogging the game down. So here we have a nice U.S. mainstream softball instead.


"I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

We're the United States Government, we don't deal with that sort of thing!"

GoodFellas?

No, not Goodfellas.

I don't quite remember but is it the movie entitled Quo Vadis?

No, the film is not Quo Vadis.

Edit: A small hint for now, if you are thinking about classy films like Quo Vadis or Goodfellas then you are completely on the wrong track. The film in question practically has B movie written all over it.

[ June 24, 2004, 14:24: Message edited by: JSBB ]

B-movies with Italians...... Only one I can think of is My Cousin Vinny. I'm sure there are plenty of others though.

Ghostbusters 2?

No, it is neither from My Cousin Vinny nor Ghostbusters 2.

I asked my Dad and he said its from a movie calle "The Eliminators" or something. I don't know. It sounds like a bad comic book name to me.

Yes, Jaguar's Dad is indeed correct, the quote if from Eliminators. (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/eliminators/) I found this review after I posted the quote, it gives you a pretty good idea of the total cheesefest that the film is. They even include sound clips including one of the quote that I posted. :lol:

Oh and as for it sounding like a bad comic book, here is another quote from the film

"What is this anyway, some kind of God damn comic book? We got robots, we got cavemen, we got kung fu!" ;)

Well, credit where credit is due. My dad wanted me to post one of mine:

Nun: You don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonderland?
Loki: No, "Through the Looking Glass." That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter," that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or...or with his tusk, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do...what do they do? They...they dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensure the destruction of one's inner being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions...by inhibiting our decisions, out of...out of fear of some...some intangible parent figure who...who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says...and says, "Do it-do it and I'll ****in' spank you!"

I recognise that one immediately. Dogma. One of the best lines of any movie I've ever seen.

edit - Here's mine.

"Oh come on. There's only one reason a good little bible-school girl pays a visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Holy sh*t, she's planting a pipe bomb?!

Ok...2 reasons."

@DR: I have no idea, but that's a great line! :p

I think I saw that quote in a recent film review. I think the review was written by Ebert and that he liked the film. Saved seems to be the only candidate that comes to my mind, am I right?

It shouldn't really count because you haven't actually seen it (no fair! :mad: ) but yes, it's from Saved - one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in recent years.

Go.

Hey, at least it isn't as bad as the time someone guessed the quote because it was in the tv commercial. :p

"This is more important than selling ice cream, there's clowns going around killing people, we're all in danger!"

Well, this is a little obvious but it is the best I can come up with right now.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space, right?

Also - that "someone" you're referring to wasn't me, was it? Can't remember.

Yes, it is from Killer Klowns from Outer Space and no I don't think you were one of the parties in the "I saw it on a commercial" occurance.

Edit: It was Hephaestus on a quote from LKD way back in the original quote game.

Kind of an easy one.

"Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Sneeze, and it's goodbye Seattle."

Roxanne? I'm guessing it's a big nose joke. The only other is cyrano de bergerac, but since it mentions America, I'm guessing Roxanne.

I knew that one would be too easy. Oh well - I'm lazy.

In the meantime, I got this plan. It's called "Save Ass". And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a b****rd!

Eddie Murphy in I Spy perhaps?

No. It's not I spy. This movie is a little bit older than that. 70s

Since it's been a while, I'll add a clue, and another quote.

Look at that, two cops wishing me luck. I'm doomed

It's probably the greatest B-Movie ever made. IMO

Assault on Precinct 13. God, I'm not old enough to know that. I'm just cheap and those kind of movies are like 99 cents a week.

Whee! it is Assault on precinct 13. Did you know they are remaking it? urgh. It has Ethan Hawke, but I'm still worried.

You're gonna eat lightnin' and you're gonna crap thunder!

Rocky 2, I'm almost certain. Either that or the first one, but I'm going with Rocky 2.

Correct... SO GO ALREADY!!!

"Don't forget to use a condom. Or, in your case, a Hefty bag."

I'll confirm that...I just saw it the other day.

You're up Wiegraf...

Here's a softball to get things rolling.

Russians dont take a dump, son, without a plan

I know this one!! Now if only I can remember the movie....

Hunt for Red October?

hehehe, too easy. ;)

You're up.

Time for another softball then...a T-ball even...

- Are you gonna tell me to stay away from your girl?
- If I had to do that; she wouldn't be my girl.

X-Men, and yes I'll take the softball, because I have a good one.

"Let's all put on a hat and learn something about a foreign culture!"

You are, of course, absolutely correct.

And I haven't the slightest clue where yours comes from.

Cry Baby?

Correct.

Alright, a pretty easy one:

"try walking into a deli, and urinating in the cheese"

as a hint, it's actually song lyrics being quoted in the film.

xXx?

doom generation x?

JSBB gets it.

Has anyone been keeping track of the number of xXx quotes that have been posted? I think it has more than passed Army of Darkness as the most quoted movie in these games :p

I saw the perfect quote film the other day. Terrible, obscure and yet having a cast with a large number of well known actors who can serve as hints. :evil:

"Crazy bastard, he thought the wind would save him."

:bang: :bang:
That's ringing so many bells in my head that I'm near deaf, I can hear it so clearly but can't place it!

I guess I will give you another quote from the film to see if that jogs your memory. The line is said by the same character as the first quote and the actor who played the "human trash" was Robbie Coltrane.

"Every time a piece of human trash is put under a rock pile the world becomes a better place!"

Joins Aldazar :bang:

Why does a Steven Segal movie keep coming to my mind.

Well, going off vague hints, and considering I haven't seen the movie for a long, long while... Nuns on the Run?

It is not a Steven Segal film and is not Nuns on the Run.

The actor who said the two quotes is very well known for playing one character and pretty well has done nothing else decent in terms of normal acting. However, he does has a very successful career in voice acting.

In one of the film's more amusing scenes, Ben Kingsley plays a Gandhi like character who loses his faith after his village of pacifists is attacked and he has been mortally wounded by being crushed by a millstone.

Doesn't ring any bells with me, sorry. I think you must have been right when you said earlier it was an obscure one.

it wouldn't be a film with mark hamil would it?

If so, that settles it. Anything with Mark Hammill in it that isn't Star Wars is going to be undeniably 'obscure'.

:tie: Mark Hamill did indeed play the role. It is actually quite amusing to see him sporting a beard instead of the clean cut Luke Skywalker look. :tie:

Well, the only movie besides the Star Wars that I've heard of him being in (haven't actually seen the movie) would be Walking Across Egypt. Don't know if there are anymore, so...

Walking Across Egypt, final answer.


--EDIT--

Damn, should have used a lifeline

[ July 11, 2004, 08:09: Message edited by: Jaguar ]

No it is not from Walking Across Egypt.

I admit it, I cheated. JSBB, that is an amazingly obscure movie. I have to go see it now.

I purchase the DVD out of the bargain bin as part of a two pack along with Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe for the princly sum of $3.95 Canadian. I an not quite sure that either film is actually worth $2 but they were both good for a few laughs - laughing at them, not with them that is. ;)

Has anyone guessed it yet?

Its not that one with Lee Marvin is it. The Big Red One.

No, not The Big Red One.

Oh dear, maybe you are the only person who has ever seen this movie, JSBB!

I am hoping that Aldazar has seen it. I will wait until tomorrow to see if he can guess it with the clues that have been posted over the week end. Otherwise I will rule the quote as unguessable and post a more softballish one.

Well, the only movie that comes to mind with Ben Kingsley and Mark Hamill in it is Slipstream, so even thought that doesn't ring quite right with me in regards to the quotes posted, that's my guess.

Still, it just doesn't seem right. Anyway, I know I'm gonna beat myself up when I see the right answer.

Why did JSBB think Aldazar had seen it? Is he some sort of Mark Hamill groupie or something?

I've looked up Slipstream and it does look like it would be the answer as it also has Robbie Coltrane, although I'm still amazed that more than one person has seen it.

I saw slipstream, but found it sadly disappointing. Nice to see Hamill taking a different sort of role though.

It is from Slipstream, as to why I thought the Aldazar might have seen it

That's ringing so many bells in my head that I'm near deaf, I can hear it so clearly but can't place it!

That's what puzzled me, I've seen it, but not for a long time. It just rings bells for me from God-alone-knows-where I guess. Maybe it is from Slipstream that I remember it, but it seems I've heard it more recently. Maybe I saw Slipstream again recently without noticing it.

Anyway, enough :yot:

next quote:

"The plan as it turned out, was as simple and dumb as anything we'd ever done"

Bah. These are too hard (for me). I don't know any of them.

I think its that movie that had Kevin Bacon and Robert DeNiro in it about some guys doing a prank that went bad and they end up in jail...whats its name :bang:

Must think on it...hmm

I can confirm that the movie Dark Haired Beauty is looking for is called "Sleepers," and that she's correct.

Assuming I am correct...

"Good teacher, he seems to really care...about what I don't know!"

Should be an easy one for all ages of SP to know.

You reckon? I still can't get it - and I've seen loads of movies. Maybe I just don't have a good memory for movie quotes.

X-Men?

another clue a commercial from the film

"Are you fat? When you go jogging, do you leave potholes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw you peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK!'?"

also the crazed teacher in the movie was played by a famous standup comic who wore a beret and a trenchcoat and screamed a lot. Sadly he died in a tragic car accident after this film.

[ July 14, 2004, 00:37: Message edited by: Dark Haired Beauty ]

Sounds like Back to School from your description, although I don't remember the quotes.

Back to school with Rodney Dangerfield is right :thumb:

Sam Kennison played the yelling history teacher everyone was afraid of.

"This is just like television, only you can see much further."

Might be one of the Pink Panther movies. I am lost on this one.

Unsurprisingly, I am stumped as well.

No, I'm sure I know this one. It's something book related. Is it Finding Forrester?

I think that Dark Haired Beauty is on the right track. I am pretty sure that it is NOT from one of the Pink Panther movies but I think that it was Peter Sellers who said it.

Being there?

Bingo, we have a winner! Being There it is, and one of my favorite oddball movies. I couldn't post the "I like to watch" quote, as that would be a dead giveaway.

I don't think it would have been a dead giveaway....given that I have not even HEARD of that movie!

I don't think it would have been a dead giveaway....given that I have not even HEARD of that movie! Well, it is around 25 years old so that rather limits the number of people here who would have seen it. On the other hand, I have posted quotes from 70 year old films and they were guessed pretty quickly.

I think that the "I like to watch" quote would have clued me in to the film but I don't know if I would have remembered the title. It has been a long time since I saw it.

I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned Peter Sellers :) (and television was a clue of course...)

Anyway, onwards:

'If that's a confession my arse is a banjo!

That's from "Just Cause;" saw it this weekend. It was the "arse" that gave it away, really.

Next up:

"Nice people don't live life. I don't wanna go through all my days being all sweet and polite and then realize, when I'm 80, that I'm just some nice dead person."

Quite right, although a real giveaway would have been if I had spelled it 'arshe'.

As for your quote, I have no idea, and it seems nobody else has one either. Hint time?

Okay, hint: The movie takes place at a well-known American university.

The Skulls?

Sounds like Gossip to me, though I can't recall the university itself. that was a damn good movie, very well-made.

Gossip?! Not another obscure dud!

How about some films that I've even heard of? I watch loads of films but I've never seen half the ones you guys go on about.

My research indicates that Gossip (if that is the answer) grossed the princely sum of $5m at the US box office in 2000 which is fair indication that not very many people have seen it.

Do you people live in the DVD bargain bin or something?

Dead Poets Society?

yep HB. :grin:

It is Gossip, and it's actually not too bad of a movie at all. And my "bargain bin" is HBO. ;) The University was NYU, and Aldazar is up.

edit - and I don't give a rat's ass how much a movie grosses. I like what I like.

Harbourboy must try harder......

"Obscure movie" my fat behind.

Methinks Harbourboy needs to watch more films. :p

How's this for a possibly non-obscure (hopefully) movie?

"Goddammit! All winter long I got to listen to him gripe about his bowling scores."

Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle talking to the chemical guy in French Connection. If not then I quit.

Its been two days so I'm going to throw out an easy one:

"I didn't *break* it, I was merely testing its durability, and I *placed* it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I wanted it to be near its family."

I watched about a 100 movies at the cinema last year (so about 2 a week). Not sure if I want to be watching any 'more' than that, Aldazar! :)

That notwithstanding, dman18's 'easy one' is still beyond me.

yeah finaly one I think I know. It's Happy Gilmore right?

I can confirm that Equester is correct. Go.

well saw this old movie some days ago, and this quote I just love. thise movie by the way, has the coolest laser pistols ever.

"I'm in command of 18 competitively selected super-fit physical specimens with an average age of 24.6 who have been locked up in hyperspace for 378 days. It would have served you right if he... they... oh go on, get out of here before I have you run out of the area under guard - and then I'll put more guards on the guards. "

Hmmm. Smells like Forbidden Planet.

damn that was fast. go

Well, it was a quote that anyone who'd seen it would have remembered. I've only seen it once, a few years ago, and that quote stood out like a turd in a punch bowl. ;)

Next up:

"Don't make me make you my prison b*tch."

Dylan McDermont and Matthew Perry in that movie about where he thinks Matthew Perry is bidding on some project. :bang:

I am pretty sure that is from Three to Tango (which is the film that Dark Haired Beauty is thinking of). Given that she got shafted on the French Connection - I am pretty sure that she was correct on that one, I think that it is only fair that she gets to post the next quote if we are correct.

Three to Tango is correct. DHB is up.

[Jim downs a bottle of whiskey in one long guzzle]
Bart: A man drink like that and he don't eat, he is going to DIE.
Jim: When?

@Harbourboy - you can NEVER watch too many films. ;)

BTW, Blazing Saddles?

Mongo says your right. Its Blazing Saddles.
Aldazar may take his turn

Who's Mongo?

The Big Guy in Blazing Saddles that punches out the horse and everyone is afraid of when they see him.

Since Aldazar hasn't responsed I will Hijack the thread and post a true softball

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. "

I'm not sure. But the time to die bit reminds me a lot of Blade Runner.

and that is correct, it is indeed blade runner. your turn Takara

/me claps a lot.

Whee! I love guessing. O.k.

I want you to give this scumbag a cavity search! I'm talking Roto-Rooter! Don't stop until you reach the back of his teeth!

President Clinton: Beavis and Butt-head, on behalf of your fellow Americans I extend my deepest thanks. You exemplify a fine new crop of young Americans who will grow into the leaders of this great country.
Butt-head: Huh huh huh, he said extend!
Beavis: Oh, yeah!

Beavis and Butt-head Do America...huh huh huh...huh huh huh :lol:

Damn, I would have got that Bladerunner one too!! Why aren't ones I know posted when I'm looking?

AGH!! Takara, I JUST FREAKING SAW THAT ONE. On TV the other day, that line stuck out to me. But, for the life of me, I can't remember where it's from.


AAAAAAAAARGH.

huh, huh, huh....that's cool, she said extend. DHB is also correct. :grin:

It was Beavis and Butthead? In that case, I have no idea where I heard that line.. heh. Sounded VERY familiar though.

"Some men are Baptists, others Catholics. My father was an Oldsmobile man."

Hint: The book this movie is based on was intitled "In God we trust...everyone else pays cash."

A Christmas Story. It's funny you brought that one up - because I heard a piece about the author on NPR this morning. Creepy. Otherwise I don't know if I would have remembered it so quickly. Nice.

"We are so poor, we don't even have a language! Just a stupid accent!"

History of the World: Part 1 ?

Was that one too easy?

It was a little on the softballish side.

So is this, but I am kind of drawing a blank here.

"That's it? That's the chant against evil from the Book of Souls? Oh yeah, right boss, and what kind of decoder ring comes with that? Sh*t, it don't even rhyme well!"

Though it sounds like Morte from PlaneScape, I'm going to say that's from Army of Darkness. Otherwise I'm not sure.

No, it isn't from Army of Darkness.

Bubba Ho-Tep?

You know, the Egyptian soul eater? The king of rock vs. the king of the dead?

It most certainly is from Bubba Ho-Tep. My God, that was a funny film. :D

Go ahead Vukodlak.

Madness runs in my family. In fact, it practically gallops!

Arsenic and old lace? Gary Grant's line?

Sounds a bit familiar . . . . but not familiar enough . . . . :(

Quite right Zurga - your turn. Arsenic and old lace it is :D I thought a true classic might restore the dignity of the topic somewhat ;)

Yes! I always have coffee when I watch radar, You know that. Everybody knows that!

Well I see that Vukodlak's attempt to restore dignity to the topic didn't last very long. :D

I do believe that the quote is from Spaceballs is it not?

If you ask me, it is quite understandable to confuse Mr. Coffee with a radar display. :p

Good job JSBB...you answered that with ludicrous
speed. :lol:

I really seem to be running low on good quotes. This is way too easy.

"Go in the direction the bird is flying!

It's going back to the village!

Ignore the bird, follow the river."

I think that one is from Willow.

I knew it was too easy, go ahead Mesmero.

"You can't give sick people tic-tacs!"

That's from Bedazzled, starring Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser (I probably spelled hist last name wrong, oh well.)

Or is it from the original Bedazzled? the one with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook?

Jhonka is correct; it's from the 2000 version of Bedazzled with Hurley and Fraser.

"You'll get yours, Frank! WHEELS ARE TURNING!!!"


Have a go at that one, hopefully it's not too easy.

Not easy enough for me, unfortunately. Someone post something that I know!

Can we have a hint, Jhonka?

Darn, I feel like I should know this one...
Scratches at the back of my skull, it does
:borg:

Well, the quote didn't sound even vaguely familiar to me so I did a google search and found it - the only hit was from the original screenplay which lists another couple sentence between the ones quoted. I have never seen the film but I think I probably would have guessed it if the additional sentences were there - the first one is a dead giveaway. I wonder if they were actually included in the film?

JSBB, the movie you turned up is the wrong one, or the site had faulty info. My quote is how it appeared in the film, I've seen it enough times to know :)


As for a hint... hmm...
Danny DeVito is in the film, as is Edward Norton.

Death to Smoochy?
