Just a little frivolity but a few friends and I plays this game from time to time on long trips. The rules are simple the first person gives a movie Quote. The first person to guess the cahracter and movie correctly gets to give a quote and so on until someone is stumped or somebody accidentally gives a repeat or wrong answer. The only stipulation is that it can’t be too obscure and the Film has to be something mainstream. Anyone game? I want to see how many quotes can be created. I’ll Start: “Leave the Gun, take the cannoli” ---
