"Elephant Man"?

yep its elephant man :-) just watched the scene in sin city where i thougt marv said that but it wasnt :-) and so I realised it probably was elephant man

so next question keith

Dimitri, Platoon wasn't the flick I knew that quote from.

It was a 2001 movie starring Charlie Sheen, called "Good Advice".

I suppose, though, since Charlie starred in Platoon 5 years earlier, he could have included it in this one for whatever reason, IF it was actually from Platoon to begin with...

So, I guess I see how this game is really played now...

hehe im sorry but it was my day off today and i couldn't stand the wait because it took to long for somebody to guess it so i slipt and said it was correct. but hey its just a game. you know what if its my turn you can give the quote if you want

sorry again :)

Well, somebody give a quote, because I'm itching to get in on this.

OK, well then, I'll try another that's hopefully a little easier... :-)

"...because it's not my god damn planet, monkeyboy!"

The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimention?

Mike

Mike! You da man!

(bonus points will be given if you know what actor gave that line, and his characters name in the movie)

Just kidding...it's your turn now!

I cheated and looked that up after you asked, but,
Christopher Lloyd as John Bigboote.


May this will be a little more obscure, but I'll probably give too many clues:


Mr. Dallas asks, "What does exto gamat mean?"

Vito Cornelius replies, "Never without my permission."

Go!

Mike

P.S, I have to quit playing this!

Well I won't hold it against you for cheating to get the bonus points Mike. And your quote is from my 2nd all time favorite movie...

Ya I know, I love it!

Is it the Fith Element? Great movie!!!

Devin,

You got it man! What a great movie! Next.

Mike

Since a question isn't on the table, here's one. Should be easy.

"Is it safe?"

Sean McHenry

Sorry Sean, but it is still Devin's turn.

Devin, we are waiting for you!


BTW, "Is it safe" is from Marathon Man, so if Devin doesn't show up by this afternoon, it is my turn. :)

Maybe we should make a time limit on how soon you have to get back and post a new question...

Thanks sorry for the delay. Here you go!

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold or bought."

Sean McHenry

Actually I would have guessed Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring.

Thanks sorry for the delay. Here you go!

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold or bought."

"Say Anything"

You are correct sir! By the way hello from Greeley!

"Say Anything"

Funny Funny... just arrived from Netflix today... one of those films that had passed me by all these years...

"Say, are you giving me the treatment?"

That's from a Preston Sturges comedy. It's either Veronica Lake to Joel McRea in "Sullivan's Travels," or it's Claudette Colbert to Rudy Vallee in "Palm Beach Story." I can't remember which is which because I just saw both of 'em on TCM not too long ago (as did you, I assume)!

No, wait! It's Bacall to Bogart in "To Have and Have Not" -- dang black and white classics! I can never keep 'em straight in my head!

Hmmm,
Not any of those, anyway, that I know of, but it is possible.
Classic: yes
B&W: no

*slapping forehead*

D'oh!!

Looks like you've stumped everyone Michael. Not even one incorrect guess in the last 12 hours...

I'll give a hint. There is an important character in the movie named "Robbie".

Aha! Forbidden Planet.

Leslie Nielsen to Anne Francis, if I'm not mistaken.

It is Forbidden Planet, but it is the xo, Jerry to Anne Francis, right beore the Captain(Leslie Nielsen) busts them.
It's a treaditional holliday movie at my house, and that sequences always gets a laugh.

Heh... I would have checked it first except to say that shamefully I don't have this on DVD, only on VHS which is buried somewhere in one of several boxes out in the garage. It is one of my favorites of all time, and we never get tired of watching it over here.

So is it my turn or do blown attributions count against?

So is it my turn or do blown attributions count against?

It's your turn, you only need the movie to win. Getting the characters right is jsut for bragging rights.

Okay, well then here's another stumper for you. Heh.

He: "Meantime, by authority of the Federal Communications Commission, and the grace of a kindly Providence which gave me the power of not having to listen to people, I am now going off the air."

She: "Don't you dare take that thing off, I haven't finished talking to you!"

Is it Network? Or is it Broadcast News??

Nope, but I can tell you that it's from a movie from 1965 that was remade less than a decade ago. The quote is in the original but not the remake. But I think you'll still need another hint.

I think that I need another hint. lol

Chris, I had this great idea that I'd just browse through all the films listed in IMDB for 1965 and look for something that was remade. It has 3000+ listings. I got bored at "Bad Girls Go To Hell".

Was it Bad Girls Go To Hell?

:)

Heh. I knew nobody was gonna get that; and I've hijacked this thread long enough, so here's another clue for you... it's a Walt Disney movie.

Man I have researched and reasearched. This is a tough one. The only one I can come up with is, "That Darn Cat." (1965 & 1997) I can't find the line of course.

Maybe?

Mike

You can't find the quote because I checked first, and it's *nowhere* online (except for here, now, of course). Indeed, "That Darn Cat" is it; the original, not the 1997 remake. It's a Disney movie about sex, of all things!

He is Wilbur MacDougall, played by William Demarest, and she is Kipp MacDougall, played by Elsa Lanchester. The very next line is "Goodnight old woman. I can't hear what you're saying, but whatever it is, I disagree with you one hundred percent!"

Another other great line from "That Darn Cat" is also courtesy of William Demarest:

Mrs. MacDougall: I distinctly heard a woman scream!
Mr. MacDougall: Right, and if you don't get away from that door you're gonna hear another!

Okay, I've hijacked this thread with mundane obscurities long enough. Your turn, Mike!

Wow,

Ok, now I have to think of a good one. I tend to make mine too easy.

Standby,

Mike

Ok, maybe this will be a little harder than my usual.

Mrs. Wilkinson: "Find a place on that bloody wall and focus on that spot. Then whip your head 'round and come back to that spot. Prepare!"

All right---go!

Mike

"bloody" indicates an English movie and Mrs. Wilkinson comes up as a character in "Billy Elliot" which is an English movie. I would thus have to guess that it is indeed the movie "Billy Elliot".

Ok, I've got to go even more obscure! Yes, Billy Elliot, and if you have not seen it, you need to. Just as a reference, Titanic won 11 Oscars and its IMDB rating is 6.9. Billy Elliot IMDB rating is 7.7, and this is a must see movie.

Next time, no mention of the characters name.

It' all yours Chris.

Mike

Alright! I Got one!
I think this game needs to have both obscure and fairly easy quotes. If this were the television show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" this quote would be around the $200 question.

"One of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line."

I bet this goes quick.

"One of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line."


The Princess Bride.
That whole movie is quoteable!

Finally I got one. I'll put mine up right away....

#1: "Yeah, well, I'm a victime of circumstance!"
#2: "I though you called it your pecker..."

tremors ? kevin bacon with fred ward in the car

If you think you got it Dimitri, give us another!

Mike

It's really funny to see this game, you guys really can't wait untill the next quote :-D
I understand it though, but still very funny

I will admit that this is another form of addiction, but it is a good one. Don't know if anyone else on this forum has ever heard of it, but I play NTN trivia. It is a trivia game that is played in about 5000+ locations in Canada and the U.S.. I have been playing for years and love to be challenged. It keeps the old brain in shape. You really learn a lot.

Keep it going!

Mike

You got it!

I'll pick something from Tremors 4 next time. :)
