Good job Willis! "Crash" is one of my favorite movies, and I recommend it to all. The floor is yours!

ok, this is one of my favorite movies that i can sit down and watch anytime (unless the kids are in the room that is)

henchman:He's askin' about Alabama.
bad guy: Where the f--- is that bitch?
good guy: She's with me.
bad guy: Who the f--- are you?
good guy: I'm her husband.
bad guy: [Laughs] Well, that makes us practically related.

I know this movie...true romance, great flick, great cast, can't watch it with the wife or kids.

Well that took a whole 10 mins.

I guess that one was to easy.

Your turn Mark.

Willis,

Great job and welcome to the board. Chris Hurd, who runs the place, doesn't allow profanity in the posts, though... even if it is quoting. Would you please be so kind as to edit the post with some #@!#$@ replacements?

Thanks, and welcome again.

I'm sorry, I won't make that mistake again, is there anyway to edit the post to minimize the damage?

Again, i'm sorry and won't happen again.

Willis

There should be an edit button at the bottom right of your post... Thanks so much.

That policy and the requirement to use your own names combine to make this one of the most civil venues on line.

"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

This one's not too hard, it's from one of my favorite movies.

The movie title is too short for a post, so i'm adding this sentence. The answer is:

Grind!

Sorry it's not "Grind"

I'll give some clues if there are a few more incorrect answers.

I was pretty sure that it was in Grind (as well), so I checked it out. It is, but it was in reference to the other movie. It listed the name, but I won't post it. I should check that movie out sometime.

It's a cult classic, I can't say much more without giving it away.

"Dazed and Confused". Just watched it recently on satellite, hadn't seen it since it came out (when I was a lot closer to that age...!) Matthew McConaughey has never been better. "Hey man, you got a joint? I'd be a lot cooler if you did..."

"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

This one's not too hard, it's from one of my favorite movies.

I know this one!
Dazed and Confused!

I believe Matthew McConaughey's character says it...

DOH! Missed by a few seconds... :)

I guess, that was a squeaker!!!

I gotta run anyway, go ahead and post your clue.

Charles, I couldn't decide which quote to use, they're both great from that movie, definitley reminds me of high school at that time. May be Matthew McConaughey's best role in a movie.

Tag your it...

Sorry, thought Mark was going to take over for me. OK, how bout this one:

"Laugh while you can, monkey boy!"

I'll hazard a guess. Did Robin Williams speak this line in "Jumanji"?
-Jon

I'll throw in a guess as well, was it planet of the apes? (the 1968 charlton heston version)

Andy.

Nope. Nope.

Aladdin?
-J.

OK, hint time.

The line was spoken by an American actor in a mock Italian accent.

The film is a cult classic.

It has a long title, but it is usually referred to by two words.

Is it Buckaroo Bonzai?

AKA "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the the 8th Dimension"

-Jon

Bingo!

(although it's "Banzai")

Cool. It was synchronicity at work. Ten minutes before you offered your hint, I had just read about Peter Weller's new career in the current issue of Wired, and I had just gotten to thinking about Buckaroo Banzai and had it on the brain as I read your post. Weird.

Okay, I'll post the next one in a few minutes.

-J.

Okay, here's an easy one.

Person 1: (forced whisper) "We thought you was a toad."

Person 2: (quizzical look with a silent "huh?")

Person 1: "We...thought...you...was...a...TOAD!"

That movie is rife with quotable lines! (At least I think I've got it right.) Nice choice, Jonathan. If you can, give a couple more before we "r-u-n-n-o-f-t" to another one. :)

"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Yeah, the Cohen brothers tend to make movies that are completely filled with quotable lines. One of my all time favorites continues to be Raising Arizona which I quote from all the time.

Here are a few more from "Oh Brother" before you carry us into the next round:

----
"Sorry, Pete. I know we're kin but...they got this depression on. I got to do for me and mine."
-----

"I'm a Dapper Dan man."

----

Pete: "You stole from my kin!"

Ulysses: "Who was fixin' to betray us."

Pete: "You didn't know that at the time!"

Ulysses: "So I borrowed it till I did know."

Pete: "That don't make no sense."

Ulysses: "Pete, its a fool looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart."

----

Delmar: "And we was beat up by a bible salesman, and banished from Woolworths....I don't know Evert, was that the one branch or all of em?"

------


Okay Lorinda,
Your turn to set up the next round.

-Jon

Ahh...those were great! Think I'll be digging it out for a late movie tonight. Thanks.

Here's something for "kids:"

#1: Do you really want to kill me?

#2: Just think of it as...you're being let go...that your life's going in a different direction...that your body's part of a permanent outplacement...

#3: Hey! That's kinda like what he said to you when you got fired.

#2: I know. It's called a cruel irony...like my dependence on you.

Animated Disney...

David Spade, Patrick Warburton...

Emperor's New Groove!

Yup! Finally, someone with kids came along! Take it, Mike. :)

Thanks, Lorinda!

I can see you. I know who you are. I watch you... I KNOW. I am what you see. I am what you watch. I am it. I am the hands. I am the feet. I am the eyes. I am the body. I. AM. (Obvious reference deleted) THE WATCHER. THE FEAR. THE ETERNAL. THE SAINT! You are nothing.

Good luck!

I'm shocked that this one hasn't been guessed yet. I'm not going to post the answer myself, because I don't want take the conch for the next round as my brain is jelly from a long editing session.

But someone needs to be able to guess this one. This film is practically REQUIRED WATCHING for anyone who possesses even a passing interest in the creation of motion pictures.

Great quote, Mike.

-Jon

Citizen Kane, widely regarded as the best movie ever made.

Anyway here's another one for ya

"These are great days we're living in, we're jolly green giants walking the earth..........with guns"

i don't expect this one to last very long.

Seven-six-two millimeter ... aka... Full metal jacket!

New Quote: "I can't dance. My limbs are lethal weapons. Innocent people got hurt trying to teach me dance."

I'll give this a shot.

Angus.

At one time, I was that fat teen with a crush on the pretty girl.

Great job! That was one of my favorite movies growing up. Your quote!

"They?! Who in the hell is they?"

"Haw haw haw haw! They? Why they is as plain and fancy they! That's who they is! Caught ya, didn't they? Tied a tin can to your tail! Led you in and waltzed you out again! Ha ha ha ahhh ha Oh my, what a bunch! Big tough ones, eh? Here you are with a hand full of holes, a thumb up yer ass and a big grin to pass the time of day with! Theyyyyyy! Who the hell is theyyyy!"

Hint: It's a western.

Answer: One of my favorite Peckinpah films of all time: The Wild Bunch, from 1969.

Actor delivering the line was Edmond O'Brien. Thanks for that, Hugh!

Hang on while I dig up a quote to throw back at y'all...

By the way, I've moved this thread and the earlier quote game from The TOTEM Poll to Awake In The Dark.

Way to go, Chris! One of Edmond Obrien's finest cinematic moments.

Okay y'all, it's still my turn. But I gotta ask for clarification on something.

Earlier up in post #328 (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost.php?p=622786&postcount=328), Mike Horrigan challenged us with this quote:

I can see you. I know who you are. I watch you... I KNOW. I am what you see. I am what you watch. I am it. I am the hands. I am the feet. I am the eyes. I am the body. I. AM. (Obvious reference deleted) THE WATCHER. THE FEAR. THE ETERNAL. THE SAINT! You are nothing. To which, Andy Graham replied in post #330 (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost.php?p=622914&postcount=330):

Citizen Kane, widely regarded as the best movie ever made....and promptly took his turn with a challenge of his own. All well and good, but honestly I've been wracking my brain trying to remember exactly where this line is delivered in Citizen Kane. I thought I knew it inside and out, but that particular line really has me stumped. Which scene is it in?

By the way, this thread is now a "sticky."

I don't remember the line either from Citizen Kane. Doesn't seem like it's in it either for some reason; kind of a different mood than the movie.


edit: OK, from IMDb - "Charles Foster Kane: I can see you. I know who you are. I watch you... I KNOW. I am what you see. I am what you watch. I am it. I am the hands. I am the feet. I am the eyes. I am the body. I. AM. ROSEBUD. ROOOOSEBUUUD... THE WATCHER. THE FEAR. THE ETERNAL. THE SAINT! You are nothing."

Is this the speech Kane gives when he is on his death bed and he says Rosebud?

Well, the quote is listed in the Citizen Kane entry on IMDB at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/quotes

But I'm tellin' ya, I've *never* heard that line anywhere in that movie during the dozens of times I've seen it. I'll take two hours for lunch today and watch the DVD again but I'm pretty sure it's not in there.

IMDB has never been known to have very accurate quotes... often the gist of a line will be there, but not the actual word-for-word verbage. One such example, from the same Citzen Kane page:

IMDB quote: "You can't buy a bag of peanuts in this town without someone writing a song about you."

Actual quote: "You buy a bag of peanuts in this town, and you get a song written about you."

Charlie Kane doesn't give a speech from his death bed... he just says "Rosebud" (and then the glass ball drops to the floor and breaks). He said it one time earlier, upon finding the same glass ball after doing an all-out Keith Moon job on Susan's room. This is according to Raymond, the butler (he knows where all the bodies are buried).

Anybody have any insight? And it's still my turn by the way.

I remember hearing this quote, maybe it was on a special features disc or something? I can't quite place it.

For what it's worth, I looked up the quote because I couldn't remember it "word for word."

I do know this, all he says at the beginning of the regular version is "Rosebud".

Still, I've heard that quote before. Hence, why I looked it up.

Mike

I knew the quote was associated with the movie only because it was a sticking point for a movie trivia round I played with some friends some long time ago. All of us were involved with production and had alot of experience memorizing film lines. One of them presented this particular line and had us all stumped for days and we all had to forfeit.

We did the same thing. Most of us had seen the film and STUDIED it at length, although for me I hadn't seen it in a LOOONNNGGG time, but I was one of the ones who originally argued against the line. We went through it every way imaginable:

Was it a succession of speakers in a chaotic audio stream? ( a technique Welles 'fostered' to aide narrative transitions)

Was it embedded through a succession of newspaper headlines or clippings? (quasi-quotes as they are not spoken?)

I couldn't place it and I put up a fight. The player in question finally presented a print-out of movie quotes, but I don't know the source. I also cannot remember him officially placing it in the movie,(ie: acting out the scene from which is came) and if I had to guess, I would suspect it was from a piece that probably didn't make the final theatrical release but was 'explored' on one of the segments of the 2 disc special features edition that examines the movie and its production. If so, then I can see Kane saying half of the quote, but not all of it, and thusly can understand why it was cut. I also don't see it as part of a potential part of the 'American' speech as it doesn't feel right for the flow, but I can see part of it as part of an impassioned arguement in which Kane derides his many critics.

In any case, I immediately associated the quote to the movie due to its having messed up a perfectly good trivia game once before. I don't think we ever got that one settled, but now with the power of the internet, I am certainly curious about getting it settled this time.

UPDATE: Before posting this, I just ran a lengthy search and found this quote listed online from a number of sources, but at a cursory glance they all seem to be a cut & paste job sourcing from the same material - perhaps an erroneous post to the imdb site? Maybe even an intentional hoax??? If so, what I would give to go back in time to the earlier game I had to forfeit!!!

I don't know, but based on the placement of the quote, it suggests perhaps in the earlier segments of the film - which doesn't correspond to anything in my own memory.

I just spent morning browsing through an online version of the script and also couldn't find it listed in there anywhere.

Does anyone know if it was from a cut scene that is explored in a DVD feature? (I assumed the theatrical release was the 'director's cut)

Just curious.

-Jon

Also, if it turns out to be from a 'special feature', I don't think it can really qualify as a quote from the movie.

-Jon

I was pretty sure that the only time Kane said the word Rosebud was on his deathbed. But is has been a while.

EDIT - oops, yeah, I forgot about the snowglobe.
