Strike one, dear Jon. Try again. :)

Hey, while I have you here...why don't you join us for the DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge upstairs? We haven't seen a J Jones film in a long, long time!

Hey, while I have you here...why don't you join us for the DVC/UWOL Charity Challenge upstairs? We haven't seen a J Jones film in a long, long time!

I so want to, and have been hoping to get back into the ring for quite a while, but have been unable to get a workable schedule that would allow for it for a long time. I dropped off the map for much of the last 2 years to tend to family medical issues - and then subsequently trying, and sometimes failing to resurrect dormant projects and juggle client deadlines. But after 2010 closes out, my schedule is expected to free up considerably, and I can look forward to jumping into some upcoming challenges.

Good to hear that 2011 sounds less hectic and stressful. Just know that you've been missed.

Guess we should get back to the game! Here's the quote again:

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

Another quote, same character:

I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky...

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?

I believe that is the movie but I'm trying really hard to block it :-)

-Garrett

That's it. Your turn.

OK, I don't know if this one has been done before. I did a quick search and didn't find it.

"You wanna be president? Lemme tell you the first rule of politics; Always know if the juice is worth the squeeze."

Might be an easy one but it's a line that popped in my head.

-Garrett

Nobody answered, so I looked at the boxofficemojo.com list of 'President' type movies and will make a guess based on the 'outsider' tone of the quote:
'Man of the Year'

Sorry Bill. Think along the story line of Risky Business but made after 2000.

-Garrett

OK here's some more lines:

Ferrari: I know I lost my virginity at prom. How about you? When did you lose your virginity?
April: When I was ten.
Ferrari: Okay, moving on...

and

Eli: Okay, you know what the three of us are? We're a tripod.
Klitz: A tripod?
Eli: Yes, a tripod. Which means that if you knock out one of our legs, WE-ALL-FALL!

These characters are not the same as the one that said the line in my first clue.

-Garrett

No idea, sounds like a highschool coming of age movie which is a genre im not so clued up on.

Andy.

Andy, you're on the right track. There are actually two movies that I know of with this exact title. One made in 2007 is based on a Jack Ketchum novel and is a very dark drama. Then there is the movie that these quotes are from, a 2004, coming of age comedy.

-Garrett

Actually, this one has been sitting here far too long--since Dec. 9. Andy, since you responded last why don't you post a new quote and we'll try to get things rolling again.

Ok before i go what was the answer to the last one Garrett?

Right next quote is...

" What day is it, anyway? Monday? Huh? The hell it is. It's Sunday. Sunday I always dress for dinner."

Andy

been sittin for a while now. one more clue...

in the scene he's talking to a statue of caesar

Andy.

been holdin this up too long...it was Omega Man

fire in anyone

Andy, I thought someone would jump in by now. Must not be many stopping by these days.

Here's an easy one that may get the game rolling again:

Character 1: It doesn't bother you? Killing all those people?

Character 2: Well, I wouldn't be very good at my job if it did.

Must not be many stopping by these days.


I've been stopping by. I've just been beset by a protracted plague of intellectual paralysis. These last several rounds (including this one) are uncomfortably humbling to me.

Perhaps there are others lurking as well. And if they're like me.....well, I just know that I have no guesses of notable merit to offer.

Keep 'em coming.

-Jon

Film release 2006. This quote should give it away:

I have two pair and you have 17.4% chance of making your straight.

Last clue before turning it over to someone else. You'll have killing, Poker, and romance from which to guess, if you haven't seen the movie:

Character 1: You love me?

Character 2: Enough to travel the world with you until one of us has to take an honest job...which I think is going to have to be you, because I have no idea what an honest job is.

Okay, I never saw this film in its entirety. (I'm quite behind on this series), but I saw bits and pieces on TNT, including this scene.

I'm pretty sure this is the recent version of "Casino Royale".

-Jon

Whew! I did everything short of posting, "The name's Bond...James Bond." :)

Go, Jonathon!

okay, old thread but anyways:

"That's some face they left hangin' off ya."

Is that from Rocky?

Rocky? Nope, that's a big negative there Ghostrider. But I like your guess!

Don't know what that quote is from, but thanks for bringing back a classic DVi thread!

A hint: The quote was by an actor who also played in "The Shining".

I'll bite, maybe "As Good As It Gets"?

You are correct, Sir. As Good as it Gets, quote from Jack Nicholson character, Melvin, to Greg Kinear, who had just been severely beaten and robbed.

You're up!

OK, try this one: "I began to see a way - a terrible way - I could finally triumph over God, my torturer."

another quote, different character:

"Yes, yes! You don't know where you are! Here, everything goes backwards. People walk backwards, dance backwards, sing backwards, and even talk backwards."

OK, one more hint, then I'll try again but I think this will tip the scale. It's a Best Film Academy Award winner.

The answer is....Amadeus. OK, maybe I should go a bit more current. "Oh Jesus, no. The appearance of law must be upheld, especially while it's being broken."

2nd clue: "The Native Americans holds the Five Points. We have prevailed. What you do outside the Points is your deciding."

Gangs of New York?

That is correct. You may proceed sir.

And the next one is...

I'm afraid Mark has missed out on his turn, so I guess it's up to me. Here you go:

*gunshots*

(from a distance) "Any trouble, boy?"

"No, old man. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It's all right now."

For a Few Dollars More; one of my very favourites.

Been busy with IBC updates; meant to check this much earlier!

The deal is, John, when you know you've aced the quote, then you just go ahead and offer up one of your own. You can still do that, but here's another one which I bet you'll get:

Again, the Old West. One man meets three others. Notices only three horses. He says:

"You bring a horse for me?"

Laughter. "Looks like we're shy one horse." More laughter.

Shaking his head, he replies "You brought two too many."

No idea. I'm assuming a western.

Sorry, I'm hopeless at checking back here regularly.

That's an easy one, the greatest opening scene to a movie ever.

Once Upon a Time in the West.

I'll offer the next quote:

"You know when you smile like that you do look like Jack Lemon."

I was chuckling at this the other day and can't resist quoting it here (sorry if I'm out of turn):

"Yes, but no more 1966. Let's splurge! Bring us some fresh wine. The freshest you've got. This year. No more of this old stuff."

Here's some more dialogue from this 1970s comedy movie:

"Son, now that you're going out into the world, there is something you should know. You see that? (points at manure) That's ___. (pulls out can from pocket) And this. Shinola."

"____. Shinola."

"Son, you're gonna be all right!"

I am intrigued. Any takers?

You might need to pull a few more quotes, David!

Not sure. Is it from Steve Martin in "The Jerk"?

Mark

Bingo!

Your turn, Mark.

A: "I got a job for ya."
B: "Well, if the pay's right and it's legal, I'll do it."
A: "It's not strictly legal."
B: "Well, if the pay's right, I'll do it."

Here's another quote:

"Now, in Russia they got it mapped out so that everyone pulls for everyone else. Well, that's the theory anyway. But what I know about is Texas, .... and down here, you're on your own."


Mark

Hmm. sounds like a Coen Brothers movie... an early Coen Brothers movie.
