Welcome to the new game that's sweeping this board, "Guess the Movie Quote!" Now, everybody's free to jump right in and volunteer a movie quote, so have fun!

Here's a couple to start off:

1. "Wake up! Betty Grable's on the phone!"

2. "Two dollars!!!"

"Two dollars!!!" is from Better off Dead.

And I'll volunteer one myself:
"She's short, but she's strong. Her first baby come out sideways, she didn't scream or nuthin'."

Anyone know where that's from? They keep playing that clip on Mix-102.9 whenever they do their all-80s music show.

---

Quote:

"She's short, but she's strong. Her first baby come out sideways, she didn't scream or nuthin'."

---

Isn't that from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles?

I know, it sounds so familiar. It has to be a southern couple, I thought it was from Baby Boom, but maybe not.

Oh, by the way, I think that Betty Grable line is from Stalag 17.

Two more (may be slightly misquoted due to memory):

"If you want to write a serious opera about a starving prostitute dying of consumption in a garret, I suggest you ring up Oslo and ask for Mr. Ibsen. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige."

"I have always been myself -- but now I seem more like myself. That is it, I think -- I remember how to seem."

Please help me! I need the name of the movie in which a character repeatedly says the line "am I my brother's keeper?" All I know is that it was made in the late eighties/early nineties and the actors in it turned relatively famous. There was also a singer in the movie.

Anonymous - are you thinking about "New Jack City" (1991)? It had Ice-T and Vanessa Williams.

"I'm not really sure snakes got parts, but if I had to say, I'd say it was his knee!"
"What's for dessert? (Loud screeching noise) Squirrel!"

Both from same movie!

Sarah, is the movie Christmas Vacation?
Sven, which Vanessa Williams are you referring to, the one who was on Melrose Place, or the one who was Miss America?
I have a quote. "You must chill! You must chill! I have hidden your keys!"

"Say Anything".

Yes it is.

Chris Diehl,
No it's not Christmas Vacation, think Adam Sandler movies!
Ok, here's another one (different movie):
"I'm going to cut his heart out with a spoon and eat it! Why a spoon cousin? Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!"

"Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"

1. "Do you realize it's snowing in my room?"
2. "If this guy owned a funeral home, nobody would die."
3. "It's Christmas Eve. I could be home right now drinking this monster egg nog my brother makes with lighter fluid."
4. "Maybe I can call you sometime, when you have no class."
5. "Take off that tie. It looks like you shot your couch."

3. Better Off Dead

That's right.

"I don't need any charity from women in carriages!"


Who said it & what movie is it from?

ANSWER: (Highlight to answer)

Marina Sirtis as "Jackson's Girl" in the movie "The Wicked Lady"

The answers to mine are:
1. Weird Science
2. Wall Street
3. Better Off Dead
4. Back to School
5. The Secret of My Success

Who said this and in what movie was it said?

"Fidelio"

(Hint: It's not "Amadeus")

Why would it be? Fidelio was first performed 14 years after Mozart had died.

Here's some of my favourite quotes:

1) "What are you doing?"
"Just checking to see if I am standing on any plastic" (not quite exact)

2) "You're about as useful as a c**k-flavoured lollipop!"

3) "Yes I know that! I'm sorry, I didn't know you wrote that"
"I didn't"

4) "What's the matter? Steroids make you deaf??!!"

5) "You were great in Wall Street!"

6) "So if you're from Africa, how come you're white?"

A couple are dead-easy (just so you don't feel bad...)

5) Martin and Charlie Sheen -- Hot Shots!

Well..here's the answer to mine: (Highlight)

Dr. William Hartford...(Tom Cruise) in "Eyes Wide Shut" while at the Orgy...it was the password to get in

I'm afraid I don't recognize any from the last list. So here are a few more. Now, I know that after the last quote quiz I wrote in the Music board, you're probably thinking "Run away! Run away!" when you see my name here. But really, this time, I didn't intentionally throw in anything that nobody would recognize.

1. "Our blessed lady of acceleration don't fail me now!"
2. "He thinks he's Jewish. Wishes he was Jewish. Tells his family they're Jewish. Even though he's no more Jewish than he is a monkey."
3. "God giveth, and the DMV taketh away!"
4. "Yes, somebody stop the bleeding. She's ruining the parquet floor."
5. "Play with it pal, but don't talk to it."
6. "You are never gonna get to fly the space shuttle if you marry a stripper."
7. "I was better with you as a woman than I've ever been with a woman as a man."
8. "American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!"

Well Tom, I don't recognise any of yours so we're even. here are the answers to my list (highlight to read)

1. Lethal Weapon 2

2.Dodgeball

3.Amadeus

4.The Running Man

5.Hot Shots Part Deux

6.Mean Girls

Tom:

1. The Blues Brothers
8. Armageddon

7. "I was better with you as a woman than I've ever been with a woman as a man." - Tom Vane

That's Tootsie, I do believe.

"I like to watch." - Chauncy Gardner (What movie is that from? )

Here's the answers. In case anyone doesn't want to know yet I'll do the highlight thing.

First, the quote at the top, "Run away! Run away!" is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

1. The Blues Brothers
2. Snatch
3. License to Drive
4. Delirious
5. Innerspace
6. Independence Day
7. Tootsie
8. Armageddon

Who said....

"I'm not his girl, he's my gangster"

and what movie was if from?

Nicole Kidman in Billy Bathgate.

DING! Score one for Darth! YAY!

Let's not forget....those two VERY HOT scenes with Nicole in them! WHOA!

I'm bored, why don't we do this again? And why don't we make it more interesting by selecting quotes which have a subtle common thread that you won't notice unless you recognize the quotes?

1. "My tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl."
2. "Big Jack! Don't knock, just come!"
3. "We ain't found s--t!"
4. "I don't have a gun. My ancestors were Quakers."
5. "Mr. President! Wow! This is... what a pleasure. As you can imagine, they... they don't let us out much."
6. "What's with dictionary boy over here?"
7. "My body is a roadmap of pain."
8. "You're hurt. You're tired. You're bleeding. I'm gonna make you a promise. We get into that endzone, you're not gonna feel any pain."
9. "I'm not a soldier, Major. The day we took hostages, we became... mercenaries. And mercenaries get paid."
10. (spoken very slow, deep, evil, and soullessly) "Jesus wept."

3. Spaceballs

1. X-Men2

2. Innerspace

4. I seem to remember that line, but don't remember from where.

5. Independence Day

7. Sounds kinda familiar, but can't place it.

8. Sounds familiar. The Longest Yard? Or was it Necessary Roughness?

9. The Rock

10. I remember the line "The angels wept" from Working Girl, but not "Jesus wept."

I think that 8 was Necessary Roughness.

Since we've identified 5 of them, can anyone figure out the theme?

Did I say 5? I meant 6 (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9).

Double checked (after my post). 8 is, in fact, Necessary Roughness.

Is the theme: "Underdogs fighting a superior force, against overwhelming odds, and winning"?

That's not it, but now that I think about it, it does describe several of the movies that the quotes came from.

Amazing how fast people get bored with these. The common thread had to do with the people who said the lines.

1. Patrick Stewart, X-Men 2
2. Robert Picardo, Innerspace
3. Tim Russ, Spaceballs
4. William Shatner, Miss Congeniality
5. Brent Spiner, Independence Day
6. Colm Meaney, Con-Air
7. Jeffery Combs, The Frighteners
8. Scott Bakula, Necessary Roughness
9. Tony Todd, The Rock
10. Andrew Robinson, Hellraiser

Nice! And I would have answered the ones I knew except I was beat to it. Anyone else have some?

Which movie is this quote from & what year?

"It neutralizes meson somehow. They're the atomic glue holding matter together. Cut across their lines of magnetic force and any object will simply cease to exist. Take my word for it, General, this type of defense is useless against that kind of power! You'd better let Washington know, fast!"

Wrong Anonymous22. You're thinking of The Eiger Sanction. However, the quote is from Dirty Harry. The exact quote is:

---

Quote:

Harry Callahan:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

---

And note, I didn't answer 3. I said 4(a) and 4(b) because you gave two 4s.

silly wabitt... (me)

Yes, I am an I Love Lucy fan!! Major!
You have a website or blog or something?

Sorry Mertz, #14 is ST:TMP.

Anonymous22, the transporter malfunction at the beginning had absolutely nothing to do with McCoy's reluctance to use the transporter. It was an established character trait long before that.
