Movie Quotes!
Can you name the movie from just one quote?
[Admiral Benson comes into the briefing room in riding pants]
Admiral Benson: Be seated! Ah... Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don't give me any shit. Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger ... and a woman". You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life.
Oops! we already have one of these in Nothingland....sorry UT! :blush:
I'm going on vacation in the morning, so I have to do an easy one:
"Barney Rubble, what an actor"
I know that.... it was Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront'....
mmmm..... or was it John Wayne in StageCoach...?
No.
Second quote from same movie:
"Why don't they just put mayonaise in the can with the tuna fish? Better yet, why not just feed mayonaise to tuna?" Speaks into personal tape recorder "This is Chuck, call Starkist"
Michael Keaton in "Night Shift".
"Are you a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?"
Michael Keaton in "Night Shift".
"Are you a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?"
Correct! Your turn, El.
That *was* my turn. :)
"Are you a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?"
'Mice? No, you've got it wrong.... *we* used the mice in our experiments...'
Somebody still needs to answer els ...
And Ibram is wrong, unfortunately. Here's a hint: stoned, mature women.
nonono, i was responding to hjay's interjection.
I'd guess, but I already cheated and looked it up.
I think you may need to toss out a few more hints. I had no idea, but once I read the answer, I could picture one of the characters saying it. It was a fairly big movie at the time, but kind of dated, and most people might have trouble with this one.
Final hint: "You take one more step and I'm gonna turn you from a rooster into a hen with one shot!"
Nine to Five! that was Dolly Parton's line!
Brianna nails it! Take it away, mistress.
yay!!
Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up: THIS... is my BOOM STICK!
THIS... is my BrOOM STICK!
;)
Witches of Eastwick?
No. Think more...militarily influenced.
No...good guess, though...want me to tell you?
You've got to let it go longer than that...
If you're just dying to tell us something, head over to the Relationships thread and tell us how the nerd boffing is going. :blush:

You know what? I'm stupid for spilling my guts all over this place all the time. From here on out, I am a Woman of Mystery! (spooky music *here*)
Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up: THIS... is my BOOM STICK!
Dances With Wolves?
No, not Dances with wolves---horror/comedy, military (like a BRANCH of the military) and...a big hint-chainsaw (not the chainsaw massacre of any of its spawn. And, not spawn, either)
Army of Darkness... easy one. I have three versions of that piece of crap.
"Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; retails for about one hundred nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!"
Yep--Army of Darkness--
I'm surprised all you geeks didn't get that one right away! ;)
"Evil, pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension!"
Buckaroo Banzai!!!!!
You'll be thinking about a plate of shrimp, and all of a sudden someone will say plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.
Dang... thought I had a good one there.
You'll be thinking about a plate of shrimp, and all of a sudden someone will say plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.
I guessed to myself, and then like a big dummy I went and did a search to see how off I was...and it turns out I was right. :smashfrea
D'OH!
hint: Otto replies to the above musing on the cosmic {un}consciousness:
Hey Miller, did you do a lot of Acid back in the Hippie Days?
so that puts a general time frame on it, anyway.
Like, whose turn is it to lay out a new quote?
me:
You'll be thinking about a plate of shrimp, and all of a sudden someone will say plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.
Oh...I get it now. It seems that BC had the same dilemma that I just had in the Music Trivia thread.
OK, one more hint:
ET is in the trunk (boot) of a '64 Chevy Malibu!
If no one answers correctly in the next few hours, I'm gonna pull an Elspode...
You're going to buy a house you can't afford and subject yourself to two months of interminable moving, frustration, remodeling and exhaustion? Man, you do take this thread serously, don't you? :D
OK take it away bluecureacow...
and remember: the life of a
Repo Man is always intense!
Moo-kay...
"Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'll haul that tanker. If you wanna get out of here, you talk to me."
Road Warrior? The second Mad Max one?
Gentlemen! You can't fight in the war room.
Dr. Strangelove.
"Francois - get down here and help..me...find...my...nose!"
Whoops! Foot3 jumped the gun and I went right with him.
Glatt, you're up.
Sorry. I was overcome with rebellion.
That's cool. Here's an easy one:
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!"
Animal House-house-house!
"The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell... and those bars slam home...that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it."
Yup. Great movie. Took Hollyweird years to get Stephen King right, but when they nail it, they nail it pretty damn good.
"I'll eat the shit. I don't care. I'll eat the entire hunk of shit."
Sounds like a "Weight Watchers" commercial.
Anchor Man
"excuse me!---Bear.....uh, BEAR FUCKER! Do you need assistance?!"
You're going to buy a house you can't afford and subject yourself to two months of interminable moving, frustration, remodeling and exhaustion? Man, you do take this thread serously, don't you? :D
Made me laugh out loud. I'm glad I swallowed my MD first.
Brooke, I think you got that one. Lumberjim probably won't be back for a while to tell you that you won.
Do you have a movie quote for us?
I'm gonna cut in line here for the time being:
"When the gourmet urge is upon me, I needs must dine alone."
thats gotta to be from silence of the lambs ot t'sequel.....
Nope much much earlier. Jody foster was probably in diapers...
OK she was seven.
mmmmm.... origanal Dracula movie?
mmmm..... the only other character I can think of into gourmet dining would be Poirot.... Death on the Nile?
Oh god, you are getting closer, but not as far as the nile.
OK, I'm gonna be away from the boards for a spell, so I'll give you a colossal hint:
Ringo Starr was the supporting actor in this movie.
hint back: Thunderclap Newman Something in the Air was the ending?
That's the name! - Magic Christian - Els got it on the other thread.
Now I'm confused...which thread do I have to post a question in?
both! MC was the corect answer in both - I could remember the song but I couldn't remember the movie title.
Well, the other thread moved along without me, and that's fine. Let's see...
A jazzy version of "Three Blind Mice" was the frequent opening of what series of short films?
OK, what movie is this quote from?
"First thing it's two minutes, then four, then six, then the next thing you know, we're the U.S. mail."
Yes! Awesome.
It was just on TV the other night.
Your turn.
I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
"Oh boys, lookee what I got heyuh."
"Hey, where the white women at."
Blazing Saddles?
Absotively. Your turn.
someone else can take mine -- I'm off grid for a few days...
This man wishes to be accorded the same privilege as a sponge...he wishes to *think*!
Nobody gonna take a shot at this one?
I can't place it, Els...maybe another hint?
I think I can almost hear it in my head...but where did I hear it?
I kept thinking about it, then I could hear Spencer Tracey saying those words. Excellent movie!
OK, here's mine:
And they came to me to supervise the project, you know, because I think that, if you know me at all, you know that death is my bread and danger my butter - oh, no, danger's my bread, and death is my butter. No, no, wait. Danger's my bread, death - no, death is - no, I'm sorry. Death is my - death and danger are my various breads and various butters.
I don't know the movie, but that's a quote in the cookie file...
What does that mean, a quote in the cookie file?
No guesses? Do we want hints or do we just not care and want to move on? Admittedly, the movie itself is a bit obscure, but the quote is typical of the writer/director...in fact, this was his debut film. Coming up with the writer/director will get you the win.
Then you can pick from this studio filled with fabulous prizes.
I know, but I won't say. But I bet Austin Power's "Allow myself to introduce myself", and "Danger is my middle name", is an hommage to the movie.
Yes, you're probably right! Same genre, for sure.
What does that mean, a quote in the cookie file?

I thought it sounded more like Monty Python:
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Our cheif weapons is fear - fear and surprise. Our two mains weapons are fear, surprise, and a fanatical devotion to the pope." etc.
Nope, not Python.
Thanks Clodfobble! I hadn't noticed that before!
Do we want the answer, or does anyone else have a guess? (
Kevin Smith?
Midnight Shamalamadingdong?
Is it the movie with William H. Macey, Grag Kinear, Janine Garofolo, etc. as whacky super heroes?
Is it the movie with William H. Macey, Grag Kinear, Janine Garofolo, etc. as whacky super heroes?
That movie is MysteryMen.
No to all the above.
Another hint:
A quote from one of this writer/director's well-known movies sounds an awful lot like his personal life:
She's 17. I'm 42 and she's 17. I'm older than her father, can you believe that? I'm dating a girl, wherein, I can beat up her father.
Woody Allen? I have no idea...
It must be a Woody Allen flick. Casino Royale?
Woody Allen it is! Since I said getting the writer/director would suffice it looks like Jinx got it.
The movie is "What's Up, Tiger Lily" and it was a Japanese spy film that Woody bought, removed the voice track and dubbed his own, the new plot centering around a secret egg salad recipe. It's pretty funny.
Your turn, Jinx!
God damn it, that's not all!! 'Cause if one of those things get down here then that will be all! And all this bullshit that you think is so important, you can kiss all that goodbye!
Complete Guess: Independence Day
"The night was sultry"
"Stupid murderer"
:D
"Why Johnny Tyler! You madcap! Where you goin' with that shotgun?"
Umm...Old Yeller?
(probly not...)
"The night was sultry"
"Stupid murderer"
:D
"I am all that is man."
"Why Johnny Tyler! You madcap! Where you goin' with that shotgun?"
Three questions:
1) Whose turn is it?
2) Are these quotes related, or are we all just blurting?
3) Is every movie quote on earth from Super Troopers?
;)
"Why Johnny Tyler! You madcap! Where you goin' with that shotgun?"
On second thought, this sounds like something Elizabeth Taylor would say....so....National Velvet? (wild, improbable guess, arms flailing)
It isn't mine anymore. I'm spent.
Three questions:
1) Whose turn is it?
2) Are these quotes related, or are we all just blurting?
3) Is every movie quote on earth from Super Troopers?
;)
1. I'm not entirely sure
2. I answered headsplice and asked one of my own
3. Just the really good ones
No right answer yet
Hint: It's from a western made in the 90's and "I'm your huckleberry"
No. Crap, I can't believe no one is getting this, it was a good movie.
Last hints, I'll give it up if no one gets it by the time I'm done grocery shopping.
"Maybe poker just isn't your game, Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!"
...
"Ed, what an ugly thing to say. I abhor ugliness... does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know, Ed, if I thought you weren't my friend, I just don't think I could bear it."
All quotes from the same [historical] character.
Awright!
There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The... the other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious," and it goes like this - I'm paraphrasing - um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.
aaaaaah.......
I think I see the problem......
... most women's clubs are composed of women who have women's pastimes as their focus....
have you ever considered 'Crotcheting' as a hobby?
No man, that's the movie quote, guess the film.
sounds like Woody Allen again, but don't know the film.
Sounds angst-ridden enough to be from Manhattan?
I don't watch a lot of Woody Allen movies, especially the newer ones.
Ahh...perhaps "Annie Hall"?
That it is. Your go 'spode.
I feel badly...I wouldn't have gotten it if not for Wolf's jogging my memory. I defer to her.
I'll go:
"serpentine, Sheldon, serpentine!"
The In-Laws, original version.
"Now its *garbage*!"
Oh, I knew that the answer was right...but now someone has to answer *mine*.
"Now, its garbage!"
I feel badly...I wouldn't have gotten it if not for Wolf's jogging my memory. I defer to her.
I wouldn't have gotten it anyway ... I just recognized the anxiety-driven kvetchiness.
Besides, I just got yours.
I don't get how people didn't know that one immediately!!
Since I know I'm right ...
"Demented and sad, but social."
The Breakfast Club (Bender's comment about the Math Club, I think).
Fast Times At Ridgemont High?
Hint: It's from this decade, and it's not Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
I tought Blazing Saddles too..... Whrn they're queuing up to get their "batches" (I know Elspode wins if it's correct, just wanted to join in - I so rarely get these right)
But as my own stab in the dark I will suggest The Breakfast Club
C'mon, people, stay with me here. ;)
Hint: It's from this decade
(P.S. The Blazing Saddles quote you guys are thinking of is a leetle bit different.)
Something About Mary? No, that was hair gel.
I thought sure it was from Pretty Woman until you said it's from this decade.
I googled it and I'm really mad I didn't get it!
I've never seen it, but is it Super Troopers?
I googled it and I'm really mad I didn't get it!
I googled it, too. The second response was this:

Almost as good as whale penis!
Dragnet.....
or Starsky & Hutch
More hints:
A road trip is involved.
The quoted character is fanatical about something.
The road to Bali?
Death Race 2000?
oh no, you said this past decade.....
don't tell me - yet another remake.......
the italian job
How about these hints:
The quoted character is fanatical about wine.
His buddy the gum-chewer was supposed to be tasting wine.
The whole movie is pretty much about wine (and a road trip, and horndogging).
mmmmm..... not sure any movies about horndogging would ever get a UK release (No sex, please, we're British)
Brokeback Mounting? (sorry, Mountain....)
I never saw it, but you are clearly talking about Sideways.
Didn't see the flick, I'm not much into films about self-absorbed yuppies.
I didn't like The Big Chill, either. I only saw it because my sister was crazy about it.
Sideways is it--glatt's turn.
What movie is this from?
"Forty years I been asking permission to piss. I can't squeeze a drop without say-so."
Too easy, huh? I guess if you know them, they are easy. If you don't, they aren't.
Your turn, Elspode.
I tend to remember things better when they are said in truly excellent films like that one.
"Goddamn it, the sun does not spit!"
Must be time for a hint.
One character is an author, the other is a hooker...um, actress.
Okay...the hooker is played by Barbra Streisand.
The Owl and the Pussycat!
May I cut in for a turn?
"A little cold water on the back of the neck and the code, Jack."
Hey hey!
I get to have two, yes?
Because that is certainly from Dr Strangelove, Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned To Love The Bomb. I think. Isn't it?
Here's one, anyway...
"I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety. And worse, they fight for hopeless causes. Honor? Huh! Honor's killed millions of people, it hasn't saved a single one. "
Fifth Element
Too bad the DVD doesn't have and special features.
Got it, Mr. Ghost. You're up.
Must say, though; I think the feature itself is pretty special.
I wish more dvds had previews. I'm fond of previews. Without them, I have to rely on rumour and (ugh) propaganda publications to choose my next film.
Oh, and whimsy, of course.
And here's one from me, hopefully in response to correctly guessing Dr Strangelove.
"This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory. "
Too easy?
Fifth Element
Too bad the DVD doesn't have and special features.
The
Ultimate Edition does.
Lots.
I love that movie.

So do I.
My boss loves it too. Every now and again we'll get a patient whose name is "Cornelius" and we both say it just that way and giggle a bit.
And here's one from me, hopefully in response to correctly guessing Dr Strangelove.
"This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory. "
Too easy?
Austin Powers?
The Family Guy/Stewie Griffin movie I can't remember the real name of?
The Ultimate Edition does.
Lots.
I love that movie.
Ah. Didn't know that it was out.
I'm assuming that it's my turn.
My quote -
"If you have any problems, dial information, thank you for calling."
PS:
"This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory." - "Ladyhawke".
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing,
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they're certainly not showing,
Any signs that they are slowing!
Go, Ghost, Go!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Thanks.
With all respect to wolf, you posted first.
Nah, I've had my turn.
Go for it, Wolf.
Very gracious of you, thanks.
You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.
sounds Harold and Maudish, but it's been about 30 years...
We have a winnah. I thought one of the references to the suicides, or to the "glorious birds" would have been too obvious.
Harold & Maude was a great film. I just loved the concept of an E-type hearse.
I just loved the concept of an E-type hearse.
That was wicked. (In a good way!)
We have a winnah. I thought one of the references to the suicides, or to the "glorious birds" would have been too obvious.
Gosh, I don't know what to say... Let me start by thanking my agent.
Hmmm, OK here's one for you all:
a: "Mom? MOM? "
b: "Whoa, whoa, whoa... you family?"
c: "No, she's just yelling, 'Mom, mom,' because she has Tourettes!"
Hey...let's not let a fun thread die, here. I don't have an answer, but one is on the tableau.
"Re-tooling?! I'll re-tool you!!!"

"Drop Dead Gorgeous"?
I'll just post a quote anyway:
"I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgable family."
Sorry, slipped through the cracks.You are right!
I'll just post a quote anyway:
"I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgable family."
I can see Peter Falk saying this. It sounds like a spoof on a "godfather" type movie. grrr. I'm thinkin...
Oh I had to google it and I never would have gotten it in many years
I know that I know I don't know it.
And I know I couldn't find it via google.
I know that I know I don't know it.
And I know I couldn't find it via google.
in firefox highlight "we're a knowledgeable family" and right click. You'll see a drop down menu that says (among other things) "search web for 'We're a knowledgeable family'" then left click. and viola! (or voila!, if you're frentch) in a new tab there is your answer.
Interestingly, that didn't work the first time out, either. But now I know, and I know I haven't seen that movie, a deficit I will have to correct.
But so far, nobody has actually NAMED the film! hahaha:p
Arsenic and Old Lace?
Nope. But I love that film too.
Pocketful of Miracles? Am I even in the right genre?
Pocketful of Miracles? Am I even in the right genre?
No and no. :-)
Does the answer involve a chilly feline?

Yes, a very cool cat. :-)
Wow, the search does come up with some old threads.
This one will do very well, thank you.
As I walked down Bette Davis lane last night, thanks to youtube and a few brews, I ran into this quote. It's so freaking perfect I can't stand it! I laugh every time I read it. It's ingrained in my brain. It's me! :lol:
I'll admit I may have seen better days, but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, like a salted peanut.
--Bette Davis, as Margo Channing in All About Eve
New signature but I can't part with my old signature so I'll just add on.
There were so many great lines in that flick.
Slow curtain, the end.
