It took me a while to put Elisabeth Shue and cold fusion together but it finally came to me.

OK here's another movie I watched as a kid.

Soldier: You're not Mrs. Rochard.
Capt: I'm Mr. Rochard.
Soldier: Well, it's your wife who must report here for transportation to Bremerhaven.
Capt: According to the War Department, I am my wife.
Solder: You can't be your wife.
Capt: If the American army says I can be my wife, who am I to dispute them?

-Garrett

No body have a guess yet? Another line in about an hour if no one gets it.

Garrett

The only one the came to mind for me was "Stripes", but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

-Jon

Not Stripes. Think a lot older.

Next quote:

Capt: I am an alien spouse of a female military personnel en route to the United States under public law 271 of the Congress.

and a hint,

This film was directed by Howard Hawks.

-Garrett

OK. Here's another clue:

1949 movie starred Ann Sheridan and Archibald Leach (that's not his stage name though).

Garrett

Ok if no one get's it by tomorrow I'll move onto another one.

-Garrett

I know of the film you quoted from, as well as the basic premise of the story. But I have never actually seen it, and can't think of the exact name, so although you've provided great clues, I am still moderately clueless.

-Jon

OK. So the movie was "I Was A Male War Bride" with Cary Grant.

Here's a very long quote, more of a monologue from a 1956 movie:

"This is Tokyo. Once a city of six million people. What has happened here was caused by a force which up until a few days ago was entirely beyond the scope of Man's imagination. Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world. There were once many people here who could've told of what they saw... now there are only a few. My name is Steve Martin. I am a foreign correspondent for United World News. I was headed for an assignment in Cairo, when I stopped off in Tokyo for a social; but it turned out to be a visit to the living HELL of another world."

-Garrett

I'll hazard a guess, and say it is "Godzilla".

-Jon

I'll hazard a guess, and say it is "Godzilla".

-Jon

It is indeed Godzilla. It's amazing how many times the big green lizard has been killed only to return in another movie.

Your up Jon.

-Garrett

Okay, here goes the next one:


Character 1: "My parents didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas."


Character 2: "What did you want?"


Character 1: "Hungry Hungry Hippos."


Character 2: "And how did you feel, being denied these Hungry Hungry Hippos?"


Character 1: "Regret."


-Jon

Donnie Darko?

It is Donnie Darko.

You're up.

-Jon

Character 1: But you can't, an Indian sheriff? Only ones elected in this country are Americans.

Character 2: My father was born here, in the mountains. His father before him and his father before him and his father before him. Where was your father born?

Character 1: Ulp, what's that to do with it?

Character 2: I said, where was he born?

Character 1: Uuh, in Scotland.

Character 2: My father was born here, in America. His father before him and his father before him and his father before him. Now which of us is American?

Some hints-

This movie was a Spaghetti Western that was NOT directed by Sergio Leone.
(This movie was released in english language for the US, so hopefully that doesn't violate the "english-only films" part of the game rules.)

This movie was the first starring role in a theatrical release for a well-known American actor, who had previously appeared extensively on TV and in a few supporting movie roles.

More hints-

This film was released in 1966, when the lead actor was 30 years old. He's currently 74 and still working in the movie and TV industry.

He used a bow and arrow in this movie, along with a multitude of other weapons. He also co-starred 6 years later in an iconic Oscar-nominated film, again using a bow and arrow as a weapon.

Even More Hints-

I recently watched the movie in question on the ThisTV network, which is a great source of obscure movies with early big names in them as well as movies so bad they are a hoot to watch and grimace at.
You can check them out at This TV Home - A free, premium channel for your favorite Movies and TV shows (http://www.thistv.com) to see if they are on your local cable or broadcast outlets.

The movie in question was directed by Sergio Corbucci.

I won't be able to respond for the next few days, so the answer is "Navajo's Land" also known as "Navajo Joe", with Burt Reynolds.
Please procede on with another quote in my absence.

I'm sure this one is dead easy, but it'll get things going again:

"You shoulda shot that boy when you had the chance, Bick. Now he's too rich to kill."

Sorry Chris, I'm taking command of this thread to keep it going.




"Sir, we're being radar scanned."

"United Planets Cruiser C-57D, JJ Adams Commanding... who are you..."

Another quote from the same movie-

"And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access to a machine that could never be shut down. The secret devil of every soul on the planet all set free at once to loot and maim. And take revenge...

Same movie -

"Alta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy. It's true, it will remind us that we are, after all, not God."

Final Hint:

The movie starred an actor that went to the big cinema in the sky recently, and the initials of the movie are: F. P.

Unless Bill and I are the only players left, I'm *still* staying out of this one. Too easy!

Hmmmm -- I'm gonna bet decent money that I've not seen this one...

Hmmmm -- I'm gonna bet decent money that I've not seen this one...

Same here. I'm following the thread, but this is just not one that I can place.

-Jon

Oh, come on now. Don't make me do this one. It's a personal favorite. Somebody else needs to step in here...

Surely you can't be serious. Don't make me do this one. It's a personal favorite. Somebody else needs to step in here...

Fixed that for you, no need to thank me.

Normally I'd resist in this situation, but given the lack of response I don't think it's so bad that I accidentally stumbled upon the answer a few days ago with the IMDB's quote of the day (and I didn't go looking for it, so technically it's not cheating).

This is "Forbidden Planet", starring the late Leslie Nielsen, if I'm not mistaken. Hadn't heard of it until he passed away, now I'm anxious to see what everyone's talking about.

Everybody I know who has seen that movie falls in love with it -- I'm sure you will, too Robert!

And now it's your turn to provide a quote...

Bingo! Whew, I was getting worried. The first quote was taken straight from the trailer:

IMDb Video: Forbidden Planet (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi463995161/)

Here's the link to the movie on NetFlix:

Netflix: Rent as many movies as you want for only $8.99 a month! Free Trial (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Forbidden-Planet/516788?strackid=6161370cba7c5124_0_srl&strkid=316216025_0_0&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&trkid=222336)

Character X, irritated, loses his patience and throws Y's blaring music player across the room. It goes quiet.

Y: Whoo! Tough guy.

X: Listen to me!

Y: You look like a...

X: What?

Y: ...radioactive tampon...

X: I wasn't supposed to--

Y: ...you look like a...banana with a yeast infection.

Nothing? All right, I'll inch a smidge closer to the answer with this:

G: I hope life on Earth is everything you remember it to be.

Character X, irritated, loses his patience and throws Y's blaring music player across the room. It goes quiet.

Y: Whoo! Tough guy.

X: Listen to me!

Y: You look like a...

X: What?

Y: ...radioactive tampon...

X: I wasn't supposed to--

Y: ...you look like a...banana with a yeast infection.


I'll take a guess.

Is it "The Fisher King"?

-Jon

Sorry, it's quite a bit more recent than that. Exceptionally small cast, didn't see a wide release, better effects than you'd expect at its budget thanks to the writers' strike (apparently the director had access to some renowned practical effects people since work had slowed for everyone).

Fun guess, though, keep 'em coming!

One more day and it looks like this'll revert to Bill.

The film in question was released in 2009, and was the director's feature debut. One of its two stars is someone who really knows how to enjoy a heavy metal concert, the other is an obvious choice for the movie considering the subject matter.

To try and wrap this up a bit better, the names "Sarang" and "GERTY" are involved, and the latter is who/what produced the quote attributed to "G" above.

If you haven't yet seen Duncan Jones' Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/), starring Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey, go do yourself the favor.

I'm not sure how strictly we're sticking to the rules these days, so either Bill or Chris can catch the rebound here, or someone else could jump in and grab this low hanging fruit:

S: I bought the airline. It seemed neater.

Hmm, that wouldn't be The Aviator, would it? I know I've heard that line fairly recently...

Re: Moon, funny thing is, we saw that just a few months ago, but I couldn't recall any of
the lines. I'm a big fan of Sam Rockwell... loved his work in Jesse James and Confessions.

Kind of close, in a way, but not The Aviator.

I know the feeling, though, of not being able to place a quote from a movie you know you've seen. Really drives me up the wall.

Re: Moon, funny thing is, we saw that just a few months ago, but I couldn't recall any of
the lines.

Same here. I loved that movie, and bought it to re-watch from time to time, but totally spaced (pun intended) on connecting the quote.

I claim flu delirium.

-Jon

I thought I'd give this one a little time to stew in your brains, but I already had my chance, and I don't want to monopolize control of the quote, so I'm cutting my usual twenty-four hour wait down significantly.

If you're in the United States you'll want to remember the title of this movie quickly, since tomorrow's a big day for fans. Not sure what the schedule is for the rest of the world. I suppose this is more difficult than I thought it'd be, but I regret nothing, I'm happy with my choice of quote.

Chris, you came close in the sense that the two films share an actor, though I suppose you may not have expected me to choose a selection from something so well known and popular. You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

All right, taking the more direct approach with a variety of quotes:


X: I'm just doing what you taught me.
Y: I never taught you to be a thief.

----

I think positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time.

----

You couldn't have peed before you went under?

----

Why would you put a freight train in the middle of a street?

----

You keep telling yourself what you know. But what do you believe? What do you feel?

Okay, well since you put it that way, I'll have a go.

This one is from "Inception".

Hands down, one of my favorite movie-going experiences, ever.

-Jon

Correct, Jonathan, and I agree. It handily knocked Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and The Matrix out of joint top position on my list of favorites. I've never before had such a huge, wildly popular movie feel like it was made just for me. I was initially torn between euphoria at the film itself and rage at not having been the one to make it, but I couldn't stay angry for very long.

It's out on Blu-ray/DVD tomorrow, if I remember the commercials correctly, everybody go out and get 'em while they're hot.

Quotemaster duties are now yours!

Hands down, one of my favorite movie-going experiences, ever.That's a good enough endorsement for me... it's going into our NetFlix queue now. Thanks!

Correct, I've never before had such a huge, wildly popular movie feel like it was made just for me. I was initially torn between euphoria at the film itself and rage at not having been the one to make it, ...

That is too strange.....you've captured in words exactly what I felt when I was watching it as well.

I'll have the next quote up shortly.

-Jon

Okay, here's the next quote:


X: "Hello. Ray.. (pause) What happened?"

Y: "I wrote your number down to call you. It's been sitting next to the phone for 6 months. When I knew it was inside the house, I couldn't think of any other number to call - I panicked. Thank you for coming, Father."

X: "You're welcome, Ray."

Y: "I worked so long that night. I've never fallen asleep driving before... Never since.

X: "Don't..."

Y: " Most of the ride home, there wasn't a car in sight in either direction. If I'd have fallen asleep then, I would have ended up in a ditch with a headache. And it had to be at that right moment... that 10, 15 seconds when I passed her walking. It was like it was meant to be. (long pause) I guess if this is the end of the world, I'm screwed, right? People who kill reverend's wives aren't exactly ushered to the front of the line in Heaven."

--------------------------------

I probably gave too much away with the length of the quote, but it didn't feel right to cut it off any earlier.

-Jon

Is "Y" Mel Gibson and the movie "Signs?"

Is "Y" Mel Gibson and the movie "Signs?"

No, and Yes.

The movie is indeed "Signs", but "Y" is M. Night Shyamalan, the film's director, playing a small but key role, as he does with some of his films.

"X" is Mel Gibson in the role of a former Episcopal priest, Graham Hess, led to question his faith after the loss of his wife in a traffic accident caused by Shyamalan's character.

I chose this quote from the movie because it is very subtle, and vague - probably not very memorable for a lot of viewers. The dialogue is hard to hear, and its importance is partially lost on the viewer until it makes more sense later in context of a flashback sequence later in the film.

I know you had the answer worked out correctly in your head, ... just had the alpha-characters swapped. You know....criss-cross...but that's another movie, entirely.

I officially hand the reigns over to you, Lorinda.

-Jon

Ah, had it backwards. :)

Here's a short one:

You left...just when you were becoming interesting.

Here's a short one:

You left...just when you were becoming interesting.

I'll take a wide swing on this one.


Is it "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"?

-Jon
