Movie quotes
 

Let's start a new game of movie quotes.
Rules:
1) It must be from a feature movie that would play in a theater.
2) It can't be too easy like; "Use the force Luke" :D
3) You must guess before you can submit a new quote. I'll leave it up to the author to make sure it's the right answer.


OK I'll start.

"No matter where you go, there you are."

Re: Movie quotes
 

That one is too easy for all the fans of really classic B-grade movies:
"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension," an absolutely GREAT John Lithgow movie! (just call me John Bigboote!)

so now on to:

"I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"

Re: Movie quotes
 

2001: A Space Oddyssey

"We must always fear the wicked. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear the most, and that is the indifference of good men."

Re: Movie quotes
 

The Boondock Saints, I think.

"What did you expect? "Welcome sonny," "Make yourself at home," "Marry my daughter." You've got to remember, that these are just simple farmers, these are people of the land, the common clay of the new west. You know . . . morons."

Re: Movie quotes
 

"Blazing Saddles"!!! (Don't shoot Mongo! You will only make him mad!)

so now:

"When I invite a woman to dinner, I expect her to look at my face. That's the price she has to pay."

-dave

p.s. I would like to suggest a "no use of Google to look these up" rule - you have to KNOW the quote to answer.

Re: Movie quotes
 

_A Night at the Opera_, Marks brothers .... Otis B. Driftwood, a great classic choice Dave! (and No I didn't use Google)

...and now...

"Lots of space in this mall..."

Re: Movie quotes
 

(OK... no Googling. Good idea, Dave. Everyone get out your GP and follow along. This means that the quotes will need to be easier.)


Answer: Blues Brothers

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

Answer: Jaws 1, Sheriff Brady uttered while chumming

"Do we need any help? (reply) Oh, all we can get."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Again 'Blazing Saddles'. Cleavon Little (Bart) to an upside-down Gene Wilder (The Waco Kid)


Person 1 "Are you trying to hit these people". Person 2 "No, well maybe that mime"

Rule #5 Please no profanity

<not an entry>
Hold the phone.. Wasn't that in the Brady Bunch Movie as well?? I think that's where I remember it from.
Prolly reused it from that movie Dave said.. but I think it WAS in the Brady Bunch remake movie as well.
oh wells.
</not an entry>

Re: Movie quotes
 

Yeah, it was in Die Hard 3, Samuel L. Jackson to Bruce Willis while driving through Central Park (and I do mean THROUGH) (and I think that he did hit the mime)

The Steve Martin quote is from L.A. Story. I never did really understand the bit with the talking sign. Sarah Jessica Parker's character is a riot (who has WAY too much caffeine in her system). But why is Captain Jean-Luc Piccard in this movie?

Oh well. For some, this will be easy:

"Why don't you knock it off with the negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

-dave

Re: Movie quotes
 

Kelly's Heroes!!! Oddball I believe...

Here goes ... one I've used in the classroom dozens of times,
"Never underestimate the power of denial."

Re: Movie quotes
 

American Beauty!


"You've got to understand my position. I'm a coward."

Re: Movie quotes
 

OK, I give up. What was the movie?

To keep it going, here's another gem :)

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Elwood to Jake
Jake replies, "Hit it!"
Blues Brothers, of course!

"Someone want to get this walking carpet out of my way?"



Wayne, what you doing up so early?

Re: Movie quotes
 

Ferris Bueler's Day Off

"I was born a poor black child"

Re: Movie quotes
 

You mean not everyone knows the movie I selected by heart? My quote was from Labyrinth.

Re: Movie quotes
 

the jerk, featuring steve martin.

Character 1: "Son, you're looking at a legend"
Character 2: "I guess a legend and an out-of-work bum look a lot a like, daddy"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Al, I work third shift :ahh:

The first Smokey and the Bandit.


"I gotta get me one of these!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Will Smith in Independence Day, while flying the alien spacecraft with Jeff Goldblum.



"I’m in the prime of my life, and I will only be young once."
"Yeah, but you will be stupid for the rest of your life."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Stand By Me!!! Great movie! (based on "The Body" by Stephen King, which I just read for my English class)


Hopefully this one is a little easier than my last one:

"Well, what does she expect? You leave your navigator lying around, naturally somebody is going to run over him."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Okay, maybe that was too tough for you (don't tell me I'm the only one who's seen this bad, yet fun, movie). Here's an easier quote from the same movie:

"As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. To recap those revisions:Women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Funny you should mention that--we were just talking about that movie the other day in Preston. Deathrace 2000.

"Heaven is just a mouse click away."

(And no, it's not Bruce Almighty.)

Re: Movie quotes
 

Death Race 2000!!!

Bruce Almighty

"In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life."

Re: Movie quotes
 

The Goonies

"Careful you idiot! I said across her nose, not up it!"

Re: Movie quotes

"It's a complete piece of ...antiquated equipment, Sir"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Don't know. What is it from?

From Stroker Ace. Elvira talking to Jim Nabors


Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

Re: Movie quotes
 

OK, I am going to try a "partial" on this one. It is by Douglas Adams from "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy." I remember the quote from the book, but I honestly don't remember that they used it in the movie (at least not the latest one - how about the BBC series?). So is this an actual movie quote and I just slept through that part of the movie, or is it a quote that SHOULD have been in the movie?

Anyway, onward. Try this one:

"This ditch is Boss Kean's ditch. I told him that dirt in it is your dirt. What's your dirt doing in his ditch?"

(the most famous quote from this movie would have made it way too easy - but this one will still be recognizable if you have seen the movie any time in the last 15 years)

-dave

Re: Movie quotes
 

Cool Hand Luke, almost as famous as "What we have here, is a failure to communicate."

"Then that makes you..."
"Say it! Say it! He was my boyfriend!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Down Periscope

Re: Movie quotes
 

It was from Hitchhikers and it was in the new movie.

Young Frankenstein

"It's an 88 magnum"
"It shoots through schools"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Johnny Dangerously! Before that movie was released, billboards went up all over Baltimore that just read: "Free Johnny Dangerously!" Confused a lot of us, since we had no idea it was connected to a movie.


Okay, this is from one of my all time favorites:

"And today the president closed the nation's last remaining submarine base at Groton, Connecticut. When asked why he had made the startling decision the president responded, "Those funny little black ships just keep sinking anyway."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Oooohh! "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"!!!! Haven't seen it in a while, but definitely a favorite (and we will NOT be singing the theme song!)

How about this one:

"What if every time you see this one incredible woman, you think you're gonna hurl?"
"I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back - then she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts - then it was never meant to be."


-dave

Re: Movie quotes
 

<not an entry> I googled this cause I was interested in seeing where it was from so I won't answer this. but... it is freaky.. cause the base was on the hit list recently by the Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) and was saved though. </not an entry>

Ha ha ha great movie.. Waynes world. And they say my name in the movie on the TV when they are doing the weather around Elgin, Ill.
I had to verify my guess though, and ran across this.

http://wayne.s.world.free.fr/Wayne/Sons/Spew&Bolt.wav


Ok, as for my line, they are from a movie I just watched the other day:

"I'm an engineer! I stopped running when Nixon was president!"

it's kind of a little known movie not as popular as Waynes World and Attack of The Killer Tomato's so I will give a second line as well:

"Well, what do you say, Reverend? You think a prayer's in order?"
" I was just reciting the Shepard's Prayer. Alan Shepard's prayer. Please God, don't let us screw up. Amen."

Happy Guessing.

Re: Movie quotes
 

Space Cowboys right?

here is quite possibly my favorite quote... sorry if it is a bit easy.
"Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! (I've got a Golden Ticket)

Here's one;
"I'm a Doctor not a door stop!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

I can't believe we have NO Star Trek fans on Chief Delphi :ahh: This was from STTNG First Contact. Doctor Crusher just activated the EMH and asked the holographic doctor (from Voyager) to slow down the Borg.

OK, here's another quote for all the geeks out there.

"In the immortal words of Socrates. I drank what!?"

Re: Movie quotes
 

"In the immortal words of Socrates. I drank what!?"

What is, The Princess Bride?

"You shot me!"
"I grazed you."
"Well, that's still shooting me!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

The Man.

Saw it a few days ago.

This is the end of a pretty famous quote from a movie I very much enjoy.

"Five-Hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile."

Re: Movie quotes
 

The Shawshank Redemption... which I am currently reading for my English class.

Okay, I'll give a really easy one here:

"There... is... no... sanctuary."

Re: Movie quotes
 

What is, the wrong answer?
Right answer, 'Weird Science'. Val Kilmer's character said it. No points awarded :(

Is is Logan's Run?

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Animal House! And this little pearl of wisom was eloquently bespoke by none other than Bluto (John Belushi) himself. ("Don't stop him now, he's on a roll!")

and next...

"let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Catch-22, although I recognized it from the book. Haven't seen the movie.

"I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?"

Re: Movie quotes
 

the movie "Say Anything"


"Life moves pretty fast and if you dont stop to look around every once in awhile you just might miss it!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"See this? This....is my BOOMSTICK. It's a 12 gauge double-barreled Remington, S-MART's top of the line."

"Shop smart. Shop S-MART."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Army of Darkness


"It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care"

Re: Movie quotes
 

Office Space!

Another easy one:

"I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a girl he met in a restaurant, who then turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to a childhood lover who she's last seen on a deserted island, and who turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French Underground."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Top Secret (an underrated comedy classic, in my opinion)


"My name is Dewey Oxburger. Friends call me Ox. I dont know if you've noticed, but I have a slight weight problem."

Enjoy.

Re: Movie quotes
 

gees baker challenge us a little

Radiation suit? Of course, because of all the fallout from the atomic wars.

Re: Movie quotes
 

Speaking of a challenge. Is this your best shot? :)
This would be from Back to the Future I. Doc Brown to Marty McFly.

My turn.

Person 1 "Prepare to die!"
Person 2 "Death would be an adventure"
Person 1 "Death is the only adventure"

Re: Movie quotes
 

No one saw 'Hook' with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman?

Try this than;

Person 1: Where are we going?
Person 2: Where they went.
Person 1: Suppose they went nowhere?
Person 2: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.

Re: Movie quotes
 

I am so disappointed that no one saw Star Trek II, The Wrath of Kahn :ahh:

OK, here's an easier one.

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Fall out boy!!! lol j/k that's not a movie..

Umm.. Shawshank Redemption. Yeah, I'll go with that awesome movie.


Ok.. here's one from an oldie but goodie & coincidently the last movie I watched:

[Character 1 Instructing Character 2 on making a new dress.]

Character 1: But it must be different - absolutely nothing must show - below, above or through.
Character 2: Radiation-proof?
Character 1: No, just eye-proof.

Re: Movie quotes
 

Forbidden Planet!!!! Thats Robbie the Robot making the dress! I just watched that with my film class yesterday!

How about this one... one of my favorites
"8 years of flight training. Navigational holographics online. 50 combat missions. Course confirmed for slingshot exit of the solar system. Just so I could take the family camper on an interstellar picnic."

Re: Movie quotes
 

"Lost In Space" - I was stuck on this one, but then saw the movie again last night on video and caught the quote. Not one of my favorite movies, but probably just because I liked the original series so much (except for the really goofy episode with the talking carrots!).

So here is one from a classic:

"Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel. It will leave a dull impression on her mind."

-dave

Re: Movie quotes
 

Butch Cassidy singing away....
_Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_

I need to go rent that, what a classic!

Here goes,
"Oh, the gentleman from the South had a question about the dining arrangements. He and his comrades are discussing place settings now."

Re: Movie quotes
 

The Dirty Dozen, one of my father's favorites, which meant we watched it a lot growing up.

Now, from one of my favorites:

"As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about."

Re: Movie quotes
 

I had to think about this for awhile. Is it from 'Shaun of the Dead'?

My turn. One of my favorite movies.

"Every man dies... not every man truly lives."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Braveheart

My turn!

"Your part is silent, little toad!"
"A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you, who are the toad."

Re: Movie quotes
 

Phantom of the Opera

"Oh you are nuts. N-V-T-S - nuts!"

Re: Movie quotes
 

One of my favorite Mel Brooks movie. 'History of the World Part 1'.
"The Christians are so poor"
"How poor are they?"
"They are so poor, they only have one god"

If his premature demise has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish below the glossy veneer of criminal life, and inspired you to change your ways, then his death carries with it an inherent nobility. And a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You can say "Poor **** (Name may make it too easy)." I say: "Poor us."

Re: Movie quotes
 

The 1 & only line the character Sphinx had in Gone in 60 seconds. I knew this but had to check IMDB for mine, and found that they have the line listed as:

"If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say poor Toby? I say poor us."
A little different, but the same idea. lol


Ok.. my turn:

I- I- I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall - looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. Now you can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it.

Just in time for next Monday, it is from Halloween (good choice!)

I could be another Dirty Harry movie, as I am not sure.

The other night on A&E, I caught the "100 greatest movie quotes". They would show the clip and the quote... it was enjoyable to see all of these famous scenes from movies. Here was one of my favorites:

"I coulda been a contender."

Nope, it's from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory....remember when he's making the everlasting gobstopper?

the movie was definately released in theaters when it came out
