A Fun Movie Game

[LMP]

9's gotta be from either A Night at the Opera or Duck Soup - I don't know because those are the only two Marx films I'm familiar with.

10's gotta be from a good Willis flick, but definitely not a Die Hard movie, I'd remember that line. It's probably The Last Boy Scout or something.

I can't take credit for 4 or 13. I didn't guess them.

Damn, I knew #5 on someone's list was The Prestige, but I wasn't around to guess

The Third Revelation:
2. My first day here, he beat me because I threw out the bones from dinner. He came down at midnight and asked for them. And I asked him, I don't know how, I could never ask him now, I said, "Why are you beating me?" He said, "The reason I beat you now is because you ask why I beat you."
Embeth Davidtz in Schindler's List (1993)

10. The soul of man has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow! Into the light of hope, into the future! The glorious future, that belongs to you, to me and to all of us. Look up, Hannah. Look up!
Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator (1940)

14. Well, you can't know. Not until you look at a dumpster. But when you climb into that thing for the first time and you pull those newspapers over you, that's when you know you've messed your life up. Somebody comes along like your son, and gives me a leg up, I'll take it. Even from a kid, I'll take it.
Jim Caviezel in Pay it Forward (2000)

 

[corianderstem]

Oh my god, I totally was thinking "that's probably that Pay It Forward" movie, and I never even saw it.

#2 was on the tip of my tongue, but it's been years since I've seen Schindler's List. I'm still bitter Ralph Fiennes didn't win the Oscar for his role.

That scene where he's looking in the mirror and saing "I pardon you," like he's trying on mercy to see how it fits ... :shudder:

It was a crime against HUMANITY that Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar for playing the same character he's always played: The old sarcastic cocky cop.

A crime against humanity I tell you!

haha, I saw this before the edit and completely knew what scene you were talking about. The depth of my Ralph Fiennes knowledge is freakish.

At first I thought that was Bob Mitchum in Cape Fear, but now I'll say it's Bogie in The Big Sleep.

 

[lazarus]

I was waiting to see when you'd show up to figure that out. And there's probably a couple more you'd know too.

 

[lazarus]

That is exactly what I thought. I heard it's one of the most awful movies of all time, so I never saw it. But when I read that line over and saw the year of release I thought hmmm.....

 

[monkeyskin]

The teacher one from 1969 seemed familar but then I noticed you'd put it as a western and now I have no idea.

*sad panda*

 

[lazarus]

She's talking to TWO GUYS...

 

[monkeyskin]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

 

[lazarus]

Bingo.

 

[lazarus]

Only 2 left. You can't think of any Brando films? Or a film with a female voiceover?

Come on. These aren't obscure movies.

 

[monkeyskin]

OK. Reading it again and seeing flames and heaven make me think it's Days of Heaven.

As for the Brando quote, I half cheated and checked which years On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire were made, but it's not either of them.

 

[LMP]

Guys and Dolls? Only because I remember you mentioning it once.

 

[lazarus]

Yes and yes.

LMP, you should check out Guys and Dolls, just to hear Brando sing. Believe me, it's worth it, and the guy who wrote & directed it is legendary himself, Joseph Mankiewicz, who wrote and/or directed some other great films like All About Eve, Sleuth, Julius Caesar (w/ Brando), Suddenly Last Summer, etc. Plus it's got Sinatra, and it's a very funny film too.

Or maybe you could just watch Citizen Kane.

 

[LMP]

Yeah, I've been meaning to check out Guys and Dolls.

Imma gonna watch Citizen Kane after I finish reading some e-mails, be back later for first impressions.

 

[lazarus]

Yeah, I've been meaning to check out Guys and Dolls.

Imma gonna watch Citizen Kane after I finish dreaming of she-males, be back later for first impressions.

Great, we'll be waiting here forever.

 

[Joey788]

Only #8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15 left for mine.

Anyone have any guesses?

Raging Bull?

Thank You For Smoking

 

[lazarus]

15. sounds like something Scorsese, like De Niro or Sorvino in GoodFellas, maybe Casino. Though if MS is right about #8 that would be two Scorsese quotes? I don't know.

And I can't believe I didn't get 14. It was in the damned trailer.

 

[Joey788]

8 is Raging Bull but 15 isn't anything by Scorsese.

 

[Joey788]

Alright, first hint. I added the release year.

9. Not very sporting to fire on an unarmed opponent. I thought you were supposed to be good. Aren't you the "good" man? (1982)

10. I promised a friend I would say hello to you today. Please say hello to me. (2007)

11. My dear friend... let us not forget that heaven is blue. (1968)

13. You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN. (1981)

15. You run the job, but I run the show. (1972)

 

[lazarus]

13. Reds?
15. The Godfather?

 

[monkeyskin]

Blade Runner?

 

[lazarus]

On second thought, I'm thinking 13 is Raiders, not Reds. It sounds like something Marion would say.

 

[monkeyskin]

To keep the thread going:

1. When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens we're in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's-it's bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere.

2. Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin', but you're tellin me everything. I know you know where they are, so tell me before I do some damage you won't walk away from.

3. There's nothing too small. You know when police find the slightest piece of DNA and build a case on it? If we might see you floss or masturbate that could be the key till your entire reality.

4. How could I have known that murder could sometimes smell like honeysuckle?

5. Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in front of a full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards, that's my policy. The Naked Gun, guessed by YLB

6. 37! My girlfriend's sucked 37 dicks!

7. I don't swear for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication. We've got to use all the words we've got. Besides, there are damn few words anybody understands.

8. Character A: Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed...
Character B: Some of his solo stuff's not bad.
Character A: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.Trainspotting, guessed by YLB

9. Being suspended is like getting a paid vacation. Why do they think it's a punishment? It's like your dog pees on the carpet and you give him a treat. Then you get in trouble for skipping school, it's sooo stupid! Hendricks told me, "One more time" and I'd be expelled. Sounded good to me.

10. You're a very nosy fellow, kitty cat. Huh? You know what happens to nosy fellows? Huh? No? Wanna guess? Huh? No? Okay. They lose their noses.Chinatown, guessed by YLB

11. Oh, I love you, Adam, Alex, Peter, Brian, whatever your name is, I love you! I hope we have a lot of boys and we can name them all after you!

12. You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? Is when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that is how little they're thinking of you. You know, you'd like to think you're both in all this pain but they're just like 'Hey, I'm glad you're gone'.

13. Go back to Jersey, Sonny. This is the City of the Angels and you haven't got any wings.

14. Will you look at that! Look how she moves! It's like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!Some Like It Hot, guessed by YLB

15. If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy, Pez, cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
