The 'Name that movie' quote game!

The Wild One; Marlon Brando.

“Being right is not a bulletproof vest, Freddie!”

Still nothing on this one

I claim this swamp for Poland

Frank Sinatra, and…his girlfriend? Janet Leigh, m’friend! :slight_smile:

Of course, the dry lines on the page don’t exactly jump out they way she and Frank delivered them. That little scene is alone worth the price of admission (not to mention Angela Lansbury and her games of solitaire, or Laurence Harvey’s drunken ramblings at Christmas!).

C3 would easily be THE NAKED GUN.

C4 is all about inflection. Interestingly enough, I once record the sound from that scene, starting with David Bowie getting off the elevator to “Where is Chester Desmond?” and used it as the introduction to a mix tape. The answer is TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME. Oh yeah, it’s “Green is its color.”

RAT1: I claim this swamp for Poland.

My only guess is MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. The scene right before Launcelot storming the castle, when the king is telling the history of the place. Otherwise I have no clue.

I thought it was Janet Leigh but I didn’t want to embarrass myself if I was wrong. Unfortunately I embarrassed myself by misquoting FWWM. (I’ve only ever seen it once, the day after it came out, so you’ll have to forgive me.)

The Manchurian Candidate, BTW, had the first-ever karate fight in an American movie. At one point Frank Silva rolled right instead of left and Sinatra practically broke his hand on a wooden table.

The Maltese Falcon is CORRECT.

The Naked Gun is CORRECT.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is CORRECT.

Still waiting on C1 and C1-a.

–Cliffy

See, when you post about The Manchurian Candidate and Twin Peaks in the same sentence you get your Silvas mixed up. Henry Silva was in the karate fight. The late Frank Silva played BOB in Twin Peaks.

Oxymoron #1: Hairspray?

Cliffy: Love and Death

Running Scared, with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.

Oxy 3

Mr. Pinky of the Hefty Hideaway will provide you not one but two brand new, extra-comfortable, personally fitted examples the following item - if you identify the movie and the setting:

"Our new one-piece lace foundation garment; zips up the back and no bones!"

Love and Death is CORRECT.

Rubin and Ed

No one answered my first one: You got to be naturalistic… you got to be naturalistic as hell!

Fred MacMurray to Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity

These are probably too easy, but what the hey…

S1:
Man - “She can’t sing, she can’t dance, she can’t act. A triple threat”

S2:
Man1 - What did you give the Krauts for those eggs?
Man2 - 45 cigarettes. Price has gone up.

S3:
Man - It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant.

S4:
Woman - This was maybe not such a good idea

S5:
Man - Oh, there’s the usual things; flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep.

BurnMeUp

This is from Reservoir Dogs. The cop talking to Tim Roth, I think?

I’ll bump some of mine (Jack Batty and bafaa, two individuals with obvious taste in film, easily handled the others):

Stoli 1:
“No more table!”

Stoli 3:
“You never wanted a regular-type life?”

Ooh! Ooh! I just watched that movie yesterday! Spyhard!!! I like it when Weird Al’s head blows up. :smiley:

Die Hard. Followed shortly by the following lines:

Terrorist: “Next time you have the chance to kill someone, don’t hesitate.”
BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
McClane: “Thanks for the advice.”

Spoonbender 2: “Oh, I’m sorry, did I break your concentration?”

Spoonbender 3: “Anthrax Island. That was an especially nice touch.*”

Spoonbender 4: “You’re damn right I got control over my own words. Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up!”

“Oh I’m sorry, did I break your concentration?”

Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction.”


“Anthrax Island. That was an especially nice touch.”

Hannibal Lecter, in “The Silence of the Lambs.”

Here are a few new ones:

  1. “Double the lad’s bet for me, you toad!”

  2. “Where have you people been all your lives? Listening to Mick Jagger music and bad-mouthing your country!”

  3. “If you mention the word extortion again, I’ll have your legs broken.”

The Genie from Aladdin?

Nope. Close though, it is from a Disney movie.

“What did you give the Krauts for those eggs?
45 cigarettes, the price has gone up.”

Sounds like William Holden in Stalag 17.

To give a complete answer to one from the first page, the quote about “buzzards got to eat, same as worms” is Clint Eastwood from Outlaw Josie Wales. He’s just killed a bunch and someone has asked him if he’s going to bury the bodies.

Here’s a few:

  1. Will you take me to see the crowned heads of Europe?
    Do you know any?

  2. Big Chief gottem new sqwaw?
    I’ll say she’s new, she has even been unwrapped yet.

  3. Captiain, can your ship take the pressure?
    If not, the Electric Boat Division is going to get
    a very nasty letter.

  4. Don’t go making yourself sick, eatin’ like a field hand.

  5. Pardon me, but could you help out a fellow
    American who’s down on his luck?

  6. Broadsword, calling Danny Boy. Broadsword, calling Danny Boy. Do you read me? Over.

  7. No one ever won a war dying for his country. He won the war by making some other poor son of a bitch die for his country.

  8. I wouldn’t hurt a fly.

  9. Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
    That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

  10. What have you done to his eyes?
    He has his father’s eyes.
