ok you little addictives :-) here's mine


"if we are going to be f***ed, let us know we're f***ed ahead of time."

Not even a single guess in over 12 hours...care to give us a hint Dimitri? Just don't make it too easy or obvious.

After 12 hours without a response or clue it is time to guess. I guess Platoon because thats all I can think of.
I have some ideas for this game. This is what I propose:
I think that quotes should be based on the extent that one is able to check back in. I picked an easy one so that the game could continue without me. We are all addicted and always wish to know the answer and have another quote.
Dylan started the best link ever (in my compulsive opinion). Now it is time to refine his massive 3 day time frame! If you can't be around for 3 days make it one that others will get without a confirmation. If you are around and can give clues then by all means make it obscure!
Heres my idea of times.
Easy as in anyone should be able to confirm it means post it and go away forever if you want.
Medium means you post clues every 24 hours
hard means you post them every 12 hours
I think I am going easy for us confirmed addicts

RULES UPDATE!!!!

If you make a post, either a guess or a new quote, you MUST check back in at least in the morning and evening!! I didn't expect this to take off so quickly. You guys are junkies. :)

Since more than 26 hours have passed since the last quote was posted and more than 12 hours since a guess was made without any reply from Dimitri, I say we approve Chris's guess and hand the ball to him to supply the next quote. It shouldn't be that big of a problem for the individual posting a quote to check in every 2 to 4 hours to verify a guess or supply additional hints and keep this game rolling at a good pace.

So Chris, I'd say it's your turn to post a quote!

wo wo wo wait al little bit :p
if your guys that desperate( didn't even know about these responses, something strang)
but ok Ill try to give hint :-)

it's a rather big hint but hey I think you guys deserve it.:p

non fiction

ok i'll give you guys one more because i'm in a good mood :p
euhm," non fiction about fiction"
now I think every moviegoer is going to know this "movie" :-)

have fun with it :-)

lets see "non fiction about fiction" i'm going to have to guess micheal moores last film :)

i kinda liked the pace before this last quote your really going to have to take the time effort and check back more often, and i think the hint is a bit vague i'm no expert at movie quotes but it seems more fun when the casual viewer can take a stab at a new one it at least once a day...

lets move on

hehe first of all it's not correct and for second I think that the level is pretty high for my opinion and still people guessed it. so I merely give a challenge

but hey if you guys don't guess it so I will give a bigger hint

"a non fiction film about a fiction film" that pretty musch says it all and narrows down the movies you're thinking about :-)

-- deleted --

"Lost In La Mancha".

The quote pretty much sums up Terry Gilliam's relationship with the studios. I don't remember the exact quote, but with your clues, it makes sense.

indeed mr.anderson indeed
you won yourself a one way ticket to the next question

rofl

How about an easy one:

...computers are my forte...

i just saw Lost In La Mancha, i should have known that one...

...computers are my forte...

thats my line, and of course i got it from Lime, in Brazil

You got it Robert - Go!

"A man has got to know his limitations."

i suspect an answer within the hour...

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry in Magnum Force.

Mike

right Mike...

Ok, here goes:

her: You got full insurance on that truck?
him: Liability only.
her: [thoughtfully] Liability only...
her: That's a very nice truck.
him: Don't even think about it.


Shouldn't take very long.

Twister?

I'm pretty sure that's it. I saw it on TV last week.

Yeah! Here's the next one. It may be too easy for some, too hard for others.

A) Where we going?
B) Mexico.
A) What's in Mexico?
B) Mexicans.

It's all you Nick! :)

"It's a quiche."

"How do you spell?"

"Well you don't spell it, son, you eat it."



Good Luck.

Sixteen Candles!

I've had no clue on the last bunch. But, I grew up on Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club....I lived those movies!

Yeah, you got it. You're up Mr. Murphy.

bloody timezone, by the time I get back home the quiz is turning passive

by the time that you guys answer I'm already catching the zzzz's :p

Ok, start your engines...

"The only thing I wanna do is go the distance -- that's all."

Sounds like "Rocky" to me.

Mike

Rocky must be right. At least I was beaten to it by the movie quote champ at this stage I believe.
Balboa to Adrian in the ice area, I am pretty sure but I just wanna go the distance with the champ myself.

Rocky right?
the first one

Hey, If we are right, you take this one Chris. Post a good quote! Dylan we love this.

Mike

I believe Mike got this and I am close to certain we both guessed it AND Mike gave me the go ahead to say the next quote so I am going to give a quote. In the event that we were wrong I take full credit for giving this quote. If in fact it is turned out that Rocky is not the answer, then who ever this line may end with must concede as I should have before posting this to the person who names the real movie fromm the last quote.

#1: No more jokes. It's not thier fault their yanks.
#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

Ok, start your engines...

"The only thing I wanna do is go the distance -- that's all."

Actually , to me it sounds like James Earl Jones in "Field of Dreams", but it has been many years since I've seen it, so it does have a Rocky'esqe feel to it.
-Jon

Rocky is correct! ...and it's not the ice arena scene. It's the scene in Rocky's apartment the night before the fight. He's laying there with Adrian and starts to talk about how he doesn't care of if wins or not....he only wants to be standing at the end of the fight no matter what. All he cares about is that he won't get beaten down....incredible writing that still has not been matched in any sports movie.

Personally, I think Rocky is the ultimate movie when it comes to using a metaphor...it's not about boxing at all. The boxing match sybolizes his entire life...he's going to make it even if he loses. All he has to do is take the punches of life and keep standing..

Mike is next..

What Chris said:

#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

This might help by adding context.
I love the irony of this quote.
The quote is said to admonish #2 for teasing the main character that all yankees are cowboys and gangsters. Yet by chastising #2 in front of the main character he has given the main character a backhanded insult far worse.

Here is more on the discussion of the last quote. Rocky is an excellent movie. I agree with what you about it Christopher, but I wouldn't be so certain about crowning it the best writing or metaphore in a sports movie. I think Bull Durham and Chariots of Fire are just as excellent. In Chariots of Fire Abrahm runs for the gold because when they raise the british flag and play God Save the Queen (or was it King then?) it cannot be denied that he is a proper british subject. That race is not just a metaphor of his life but it is a race for his life. In Bull Durham Crash sums it up nicely at the end but that would be another quote for another time.

I'll have to watch Chariots of Fire again - I haven't seen it for at least 20 years!

#1: No more jokes. It's not thier fault their yanks.
#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

Is this harder than I thought or is it that the people who play this game are away? It is a movie from within the past 10 years that is set between 1935 to about 1950. It is a story about the worst kind of miserable childhood.

"Angela's ashes" maybe ?

The movie is based on a Pulitzer prize-winning novel. It was scored by John William's and nominated for best score at the acadamy awards.
Alot of great lines in it.

You got it Dimitri. Your turn!

ok here it goes

"It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant."

Stand By Me.


VERN!!!!

Shoot, I almost said Stand by Me! I love that movie!

Shoot, I almost said Stand by Me! I love that movie!

Well, since there's no doubt in my mind, I'll go ahead and give the next one.



"Well... we could go to Taco Bell if that's more your style."

"You callin' me a Taco Bell kind of guy?"

Can I play now? Can I? Huh?....

Hit me right in the forehead with this one...I'm votin' for Coffee and Cigarettes (although I was tempted towards another off-beat flick I saw about 5 years ago but can't remember the name of - so C & C is my vote.)

Every year I try to come out of it having caught one paticularly different, original, off-beat, film that for whatever reason overtly chooses to NOT cater to the dumbing down of the masses - [examples for me have been "The Matrix", "Being John Malkovich", and "Run Lola Run" - runner up's include "Falling Down", "Unforgiven" and "Waiting for Guffman"] and yet this is one that for any number of reasons, I really enjoy-this one may have been it for that year (1 year ago or two escapes me) maybe... It is hard to call it a movie per se as it is broken up into individual scenes (almost like shorts I guess) and some of them just made me think (huh?) but it is clever, fun, amazing cast, (in fact it is a once in a lifetime cast, thoughtful, and absolutely FULL of quotable lines(in fact that is just about all it is)

Pretty sure it is Coffee and Cigarettes
-Jon

Sounds like a Tarantino movie, but I'm sure it isn't...

you beat me to it..it is Coffee and Cigarettes without a doubt i think it was the scene with iggy...

Can I play now? Can I? Huh?....

Yes, good call. Your turn!

Okay, here is a fun one...

"I was wondering if, uh, you can help settle a dispute that my crew and I seem to be having...Um, if you remember, uh, in Quasar Dilemma"..

"Excuse me for a minute, fellas."

"...Haven't even gotten to the relevant conundrum."


There are more quotable lines from the movie, but this was a pretty funny little interaction that effectively sums up the scene.
-Jon

Maybe "Galaxy Quest?"
