Straightforward idea - lets give it a try. Same rules as "who am I?" game.


My poser is :-

"These are the guys who've been killing you"

Could it be "12:01"?

Well done. I love that film, it has a couple of other unique quotes too.

Over to you then :-)

Yeah, I stumbled upon it a few weeks ago,actually, while checking out movies W/ Jeremy Piven, I thought it was surprisingly good.


All right, heres my quote:


"...By God sir. I will not abide another toe."

the big lebowski?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, man.

is that a quote?

LOL

@crawen

R U there? From what I can gather, merlin11 guessed right. You are supposed to confirm or deny that :-)

@merlin11
I think you should have your go now :-)

okay .
mine is.

In the grand design, women were definitely drawn from a different set of blueprints

Twin Peaks

yes of course.
your turn.

"Because he wouldn't like it, and if he didn't like it, I wouldn't like it. And if I got better and went to him, you wouldn't like it. And if I didn't get better... ugh".

this is a hard one.

Should I give you any clues? :-)

OK, from now on lets make it that the person 'on go' should post clues from time to time if nobody is getting anywhere.

Clue: the film was famously showcased within another film made 36 years later, though this quote was not.

Another clue: its one of the most famous romantic dramas ever made.

Last clue: a UK manufacturer of Automated Test Equipment took its name from the surname of this actress appended to the surname of a very famous actor. (I know this because I worked for them)

is that the very last clue?. i thought i had an idea but now i dont think i do ;(

do a google, you *must* be able to follow the clues dead easy :-)

Google sometimes mixes things around, but if you go on www.google.co.uk, google the technical phrase and select 'pages from the UK' then the important names are usually somewhere on the screen.

@merlin11

Just give it your best shot. If you don;t get it right, at least we move on :-)

not my first choice but.
from here to eternity?.
:)

Sorry :-(

It was "An Affair To Remember"

Deborah Kerr (Wayne Kerr ATE!!!) is telling her ex why she won't allow him to pay for her treatment, having been crippled by a car when crossing the road outside the Empire State Building on the way to meet Cary Grant at the top. The film was showcased in "Sleepless in Seattle".

aggggggggggggggggg,
i found waynekerr.
your turn again.lol
be nice

"How did you get here?"
"I walked"
"Walked?"
"Safest way"
"Walked from where?"
"Poland"
"That's over 200 miles"
"I go to a good bootmaker. Sneyd in Clifford Street"

The responder is tied up in a chair at the time. You can easily imagine the uniform worn by the questioner.

Come on!

A map of Europe will show you the arc that is "over 200 miles from Poland". Look along that arc for a small but very significant town. Think of an actor who could play an obviously aristocratic Englishman with enough balls to out-face the Gestapo like this.

The actor was born in the 1930s, *not* in England.

The film was made in the 1970's.

His character as listed, the film's title, the initial premise, and the ongoing action throughout the film, all share the theme of hunting.

The location of the dialogue is Berchtesgaden, the year is 1939.

The actor has what Peter Sellers called a "double phallic name"

The actor has been Oscar-nominated 8 times.

okay it was hard but i think i may be almost there.
is the actor peter o`toole?
dont laught at least i try.

OK good, now its easy to identify which film, right?

no .lol
murphy`s war

Ouch - that is set "in the closing days of World War II", not 1939!

Six lines further up on his IMDB page you will see...

"Rogue Male" (usually refers to a stroppy item of big game)

in which he plays the character identified as

Hunter

The dialogue comes when he has been caught just as he is about to put a high-velocity round through Hitler, after what he describes as a "sporting stalk". The rest of the film is about how he fares in a reversal of roles, being hunted to extinction for his temerity.

I think you should have another go, and when its my turn again I will try to be a lot clearer with these things.

hi sorry ;(
i was looking for a peter o`toole film filmed in 1970, so didnt concentrate on 1939 setting.
lol. I will try harder.
this is easy.

You wanna waste my time? Okay. I call my lawyer. He's the best lawyer in Miami. He's such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in Alaska.

Scarface

The problem with making it this easy, is that a simple google is all you need to crack it. Is this what quark wanted me to dumb it down to, I wonder?

KO, this must be very easy also :-

"I ain't never ridden shotgun on a hearse before"

im sorry but i think its me thats dumb. i didnt get that film for peterin my searches.
but watch out,,,, Im going to get you back. lol.

Apologies, I slightly misquoted

"I've never ridden shotgun on a hearse before"

steve mcqueen the magnificant seven?

On the nose.

Over to you, windsorboyd

i'm not much of a man by the light of day, but by night i'm one hell of a lover, i'm just a sweet...

The Gedmen chronicles rofl

lol,
transvestite.from transalvania?

@merlin11, you have to name the film :-)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

@gedmen - yup - your turn now.

@windsorboyd - hope you don't mind my assuming your role here to get things moving :-)

i put a comment in i must have forget to press enter lol. I said something like give the man/woman a prize (to tie in with them both getting it right and the transvestite transylvanian thing) maybe i put it in another thread

I got the answer from merls clue, thanks merl ;o)

ok to get the ball rolling...

The line must be drawn here! this far and no further...and I, will make them pay for what they've done!

Star Trek: First Contact

Well *I* think I'm right LOL

@gedmen I hope you agree - I will take my turn now.

"but when Heinmuller went to help her, the guy she was with, the kidnapper, yelled 'Greetings' and melted his lug wrench."

was this released in apprx 1984?.

Sounds about right to me

starman.
me and child watched this twice. it was reshown here fairly recently .


"shut your gob lassie"

Final Fantasy VII

should have made that a question - am I right?

lol.
you can have it as a yes but.....
the film is actually final fantasy vii advent children.
ff vii is the game. another one I am forced to watch over and over.

@softwizz apologies I forgot I posted in this thread & yes you were correct :OD

"Think fast, Mammy. My income depends on the outcome"

is james cagney in it?

no

clue - it's a remake of a comedy musical, and is far better than the original.

actually I may be inaccurate there - I don't believe the original was actually a musical.

This thing also got remade twice more, both times for TV.

did mel brookes have anything to do with it

no

the main themes of the film are girl-chases-boy and hillbilly medicine

Li'l Abner

sorry I didn't notice you had posted - I seem to have been asleep. :-)

Well done - your turn now.

BTW when I was young I watched this one (the 1959 remake) six times on the trot. I can still recite chunks of it, and sing several of the songs. Not sure if that makes me entirely sane :-)

springtime for hitler and germany

"The Producers"?

yes . too easy?

its always too easy when it can be googled, like that one

@softwizz i googled yours lol

your turn

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

I meant the quote - its out there word for word. Mine was not :-)

try this one, rendered as colloquially as I can recall it :-

"ah have said zat zere is to such a sing as a system and ah weel prove eet"

for the avoidance of doubt, the words are :-

"I have said that there is to such a thing as a system and I will prove it"

have fun!

im confused now , so it doesnt have to be a proper movie quote?

What do you think constitutes a 'proper movie quote'?

My understanding is that a proper movie quote is a quote of words spoken by a character or characters in a movie.

I do not feel the need to limit myself to quotes which have been extracted by another person and published in some form. I would hope that you would not limit yourself in that way either! :-)

All it needs is a good memory and a lot of movie-viewing!

time for a clue

The words are spoken by a minor character, when the machine that is the object of this film's title, comes good. The speaker is the manager of the establishment where this happens. He is a Frenchman.

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

whoops! slipped up there - he is an Italian.

This is awkward - he *should* be Italian, because of the location - but I feel sure he was played as a Frenchman. I now find that the actor playing him was born German - and to add to the confusion his character is not a manager but an inspector.

That should be some more clues anyway :-)

One more clue - the leading actor never played any films of this genre again, though he was a huge name, and though his performance in this film was given great notices.

The leading actor died at an unexpectedly young age.

One of *his* lines in the film, is :-

"PEAnut butter?"

The action takes place in Venice.

The minor character is an inspector of casinos.

Is anyone still interested out there?

The film starred Steve McQueen, but the real 'star' is a computer.

thomas crown affair?

no

think War Games meets Casino

did this film win any awards?

meant to add is this based on a broadway play?

Not sure about awards, but yes it was on Broadway earlier.

I bet you got it now!

Under a different title, though, methinks.

@merl another clue?

Second lead was Jim Hutton

I thought someone else would have guessed this.
the honeymoon machine.?

yup

yr right, it should have been easy by this time :-)

your go, merl

l'm beginning to think
he's maybe not such a nice boy.

Little Shop of Horrors?

The Omen?

@ wizz your turn.

"Oink, oink, too many twinkies"

The speaker is a computer

The recipient of the comment is a fat boy who is standing and staring.

Flight of the Navigator?

yup - over to you

It was only after I posted the quote that I thought to look it up on Google - that was unintentionally easy :-(

Are you insinuating that I cheated wizz, i don't even use google, JUST ASK anyone ;oD

"I'm here to chew gum & kick ass...and I'm all out of gum."

It's not the exact quote word for word to deter potential cheats from looking it up on google Rofl

I'm sorry, I just can't understand a universe where googling is cheating :-D

They Live 1988

I dont think the first port of call should be google. some hard thinking about all the films we like should come first. the winner should be the most knowledgeable .
:)

N'thor, correct...your turn.

@merl - I do exactly what you suggest should be done. Shold I apologise because the number of films I have actually seen covers less than 100f those being quoted from?

If googling is barred, then there will be significant numbers of quotes which only the poster has knowledge of. That will slow things up considerably.

I suggest that, rather than banning google, the hard thought should be undertaken by the poster, to choose a quote which can be deduced without having seen the film, but which is not google-able.

Just my $0.02 - I'm happy to be overruled if the majority want to play this differently. :-)

People, chill out it is just a game. Does it really matter where the answer comes from. If someone dosen't know the answer and find it via google then good on them, they will have learned something new. Anyway here is a quote:

"I don't want to die. And your men don't want to die, and these people certainly don't want to die. It's a shame you're in such a hurry to."

lol. i dont think google should be banned but its more fun if people try to think and guess the movie before turning straight to a search,
:)
thor i am off too think.

Let's all stand back a moment.

We are members of a web-site (ok primarily about TV). The use of Google or any other search engine is part of the whole web experience.

Any thread which requires identification of something leaves itself wide-open to members using such knowledge as they have or can find on the web.

As Thor says finding the answer by searching enables the member to find out something new for themselves and by posting the answer shares that answer with others.

Result ALL may learn or be entertained.
To my mind that is the whole point of such enquiring threads.

Otherwise it is merely a vehicle for one to say I know something you do not and surely that is what would be wrong.

If my post started this debate you all need to go back and read it again particularly the Rofl, the JUST ASK joke and the ;oD

Now everyone get a grip and get on with the game!

N'Gedmen, I agree and I repeat:

"I don't want to die. And your men don't want to die, and these people certainly don't want to die. It's a shame you're in such a hurry to."

oops, I must've missed that, Stargate is one of my favourite films and that was Jacksons quote to O'Niel.

My turn...

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know."

I know it was said by Groucho Marx but not what movie that was from.

A Night At The Opera?

I'm being careful to not use google, and only eliminate the Marx Bros films that I know of!

keep trying,you're both on the right lines,it is a simple matter of a process of elimination :oD

Horse Feathers?

Getting closer

Duck Soup?

No...

Go West?

No...

A Day at the Races?

The quote mentions an elephant, could it be Animal Crackers?

And thor steals in at the death, with the winner,you're next...

"Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown... THROW IT!"

Ghostbusters

@softwizz

Correct

"I'm looking over
My dead dog Rover..."

Lines spoken by a non-human, represented in the cast list only as a voice.

The performer who spoke the lines, a lady whose older sister is a better known actress, is herself supposed to have spent the last decade or so in prison, for crimes committed against two of her other relatives, one of whom once co-starred with Yul Brynner.

This may sound cryptic, but I believe you can solve the whole thing from it.

The lines are actually sung, not spoken

The dog in question is owned by a young girl whose relative is mentioned in the film's title.

i know this song but not in conection with a film. {(

one of the stars of "ghostbusters" was in it

Kim Basinger was in it

my stepmum`s an alien ?

yep - I guess there comes a point when the clues more or less eliminate all but the right answer :-(

over to you, merl

BTW have you seen the film or not? I assume not, as the quote is at a very funny moment and I'd expect it would stick in the memory.

Hi mum, whats wrong with dad.?



I have seen the film a few times, but still didnt associate the song ar first , it was ghostbusters that gave it away to me , brought bag to mind and jimmy durant.

Invaders from Mars?

@wizz, My Stepmother is an Alien never had funny moments, twas rubbish IM

HO*

@ged, I didn't say it was a funny film :-)

I agree it was in many ways a dreadful film - almost totally lacking in any grounding in real science, for example.

But the lines I quoted did make me laugh. Maybe it was because they seemed good compared with the dreadfulness of the rest...

Is HO the next quote? If so I guess Thundercats

Aye,true...Planes,Trains & Automobiles was a funny film ;oD

the actor/character has an american accent . so the quoet was spoken in that accent.




PT&A was a good film I liked uncle buck.

i like uncle buck, i've modelled my parenting style on him

p.s who's turn is it? was thundercats the correct answer.

merlin11 posted this question last:-

"Hi mum, whats wrong with dad?"

She later posted this clue :-

the actor/character has an american accent. so the quote was spoken in that accent.

gedmen posted a comment that got split over two posts, and thor then picked up on the mangled second post and treated it as a quote.

We should be trying to guess merlin11's quote.

gedmen guessed "Invaders from Mars" - we have not had a ruling on that yet! - merl???

no.


this charactor was speaking on the phone.

this is an 1986 film.
same character says.
I'm seeing something that was always hidden. I'm in the middle of a mystery and it's all secret

kyle maclaclly thingy in blue velvet?

lol. silly girl .seeing polar bears everywhere?.
blue velvet is the correct answer. love this film. except for the violence , but i close my eyes.

your turn

'we didn't do the lift but it was good'

Dirty Dancing

too easy lol, well done thor

"I came to see your face so that I alone may find you on the batttlefield. And it would be good for you to mark my face saxon, for the next time you see it, it will be the last thing you see on this earth."

Any Ideas?

Sounds like one of several possible people, Alfred or Arthur for example, but not sure which film.

(trying not to use google so I'm a bit hog-tied)

@Softwizz

You're on the right track.

King Arthur?

@Gedmen

Correct, your turn.

But we can win this...

I'd have no chance of getting this from memory, its too generic.

So I tried an exercise to see if I could google it, and I could.

So I know the answer, but I will have to disqualify myself :-(

are they fighting a war?
or
are they team players in a game?

spies??

Merl, no & yes

windsor, no

The Mighty Ducks?

No

Victory? (U.S.) Escape to Victory? (U.K.)

Correct @areu, your turn.

Ok... An easy one, but from a good film.

"Do you like Phil Collins?"

American Psycho?

Yep. You got it thor. Go ahead.

"Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter."

Full Metal Jacket?

@areuponderingwhatiam

No, please try again

I had Kubrick on the brain from the other thread, so I had to try. I know it's too soon to ask for a hint because no one else has guessed, but it sounds like some kind of war movie. So, like softwizz I'm not going to google, but will guess...

The Longest Day?

No

It is a war movie.

Saving Private Ryan?

@Ged, no.

Apocalypse Now?

N'Gedmen, no.

Battle of the Bulge?

N'Gedmen

No. Think suprise attack.

Wow that's the giveaway hint thor. I couldn't stand it, and googled the answer so I'm disqualifying myself. So I'll offer the wrong guess, just because I like the movie....

The Thin Red Line?

1941, just kidding,Pearl Harbour.

Correct Gedmen, over to you.

I come in peace.

The Day The Earth Stood Still?

no

ET?

no

The man who fell to earth?

Mars Attacks?

No and no.

Dark Angel

Correct, was that from memory or google?

probably goomory

or meggle

*hangs head and shuffle's feet* - yeah - I went searchin'.....

-reluctantly - easy one -

"Houston - we have a problem"

Apollo 13.

Armageddon?

@areuponderingwhatiam - right the first time -

I hadn't noticed how many disqualified themselves when they look things up, so my answer above "Dark Angel" is embarrassing - but at least I told the truth! - Won't do it again.

@areuponderingwhatiam - your answer was without a doubt from memory - you get an "attaboy" and I pass the torch to you my friend -

@icarus, it is not against the rules to look up the answer on the web, it is just IMHO a bit more fun to have a few guesses first...

No problem icarus, and thanks! Didn't look that one up... Was pretty easy. But it's hard to NOT want to google things that can be pretty general, or subjective. So I'll give what I think is another easy one from a film I love:

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing really. I just feel that I need something stronger."

THX1138 - its gotta be that - those robot cops?

You got it icarus!

The voice comes out of the medicine cabinet from the monitoring "operators." Every time someone opens the medicine cabinet door, a voice asks: "what's wrong?" They want to make sure everyone's taking their pills.

Over to you!

"Time to die"

Thats the main 'villain' replicant Roy Batty in Bladerunner played by Rutger Hauer in the scene at the end of the movie on the outside of a building with the rain pouring down his face.
(BR is a movie I watch over and over).

Based on the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K Dick.



So whats this one ?

"Because we're here boy, no one else; just us."

An extra fun point for the name of the character.

I actually just saw Bladerunner for the first time a few months ago. I'm going to give it another view very soon. Regarding Philip K. Dick: I love when he's referenced, and some smart alec will inevitably ask "so, are you a big Dick fan?" =D

My sci-fi knowledge doesn't run as deep as most on this forum, and I'm guessing that quark's quote is likely keeping with the sci-fi theme of the last couple films. The context also makes it seem like it's from a post disaster type film, or one where there are very few people involved?

So, I'll take a wild stab and guess Predator?

Jesse Ventura's character?

I can't place that new line yet but I did want to say that Quark got right off. Yes - I think Bladerunner is definately my fav. I have the PC game too - thats different but fun - got it back when windows 98 came out - hard to play on XP even with patches.
4 CDs - about 12 or more different endings.
Time to Die was also said just after the bladerunner shot the dancer and (I can't believe I can't remember his character name - actor Brion James) grabbed BR by the throat. Have the Directors Cut CD.
Just started watching Total Recall 2070 - so far alot like BR - without the rain.

@RU pondering

Not Predator.

@NIP

CLUES

Not Sci-Fi.

It's a Michael Caine Film although he did not make the quote.

Zulu

It was the quiet, sardonic sergeant-at-arms (or whatever his rank was - I'm no expert on the military).

OK it was Colour Sergeant Bourne speaking to the youngest soldier when he asked "why us Sergeant?"

your turn wizz.

"This will introduce you to Chicken Hawk"

Two days and no takers - I guess we need a clue.

There is a different bird in the title.

Hudson Hawk?

no

Wot, still no takers :-(

Another clue - the actress whose character is being introduced, and the actor whose character wrote the introduction, are each famous for different films in which they die in exactly the same way!

final clue - you *must* get it rom this...

Think of Warren Beatty and Paul Newman

@applejuice, @cabutchikas

The rules of this thread are that you cannot post a question until you successfully answer the current question. Neither of you have named my film, so it's still my turn.

All right, softwizz, What is your question if it's your turn please?

To recap, you should think of Warren Beattie and Paul Newman. What ties them together in terms of film ending, and who might then be in the film from which I quoted?

A: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

no - the quote is "this will introduce Chicken Hawk", you named the wrong film

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

Sweet Bird Of Youth

I just tired of the bickering - @softwiz would you name the next quote please? Would rather you do it.

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

@icarus, It ain't "Sweet Bird of Youth"

What did you base your selection on?

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

I thought it was the only film they starred together in - but - after researching a bit, I can't find anything on it - so- was it maybe - Cool Hand Luke

sweet bird of youth

Im well off.lol I thought chicken hawk was a cartoon.

I'm sorry, guys, my clue was more convoluted than that.

To *fully* recap :-

(1) Two days and no takers - I guess we need a clue.
There is a different bird in the title.

(2) Another clue - the actress whose character is being introduced, and the actor whose character wrote the introduction, are each famous for different films in which they die in exactly the same way!

(3) final clue - you *must* get it from this...
Think of Warren Beatty and Paul Newman

(4) To recap, you should think of Warren Beattie and Paul Newman. What ties them together in terms of film ending, and who might then be in the film from which I quoted?

Lets be clear about this, you need to think of an actress and an actor, each involved in a particular form of death onscreen in other films, and associated with one or other of these two named actors *in those same endings*

"Here's Johnny!"

no

Getting back to the film's title, it wasn't in Peking and it wasn't in May.

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

Legal Eagles?

Correction: Three days of the Condor with Robert Redford & Faye Dunaway.

go ged! :-)

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

Thanks wizz, I must admit I got it solely from the clues you gave, here's mine:


"They wouldn't put me on a pedestal, so I'm layin' 'em on a slab!"

All that for Legal Eagles? J/k, but well done gedman! Looks like we're all back on track.

Nice one wizz, lots of thought behind it, I would have never gotten it.

My guess for gedmen is: Falling Down?

No...

Batman Returns

Correct!

Here's the quote for you all.

"Here's Johnny!"

The Shining

Good job!

"Keep moving forward"

@Cabutchikas, I believe it's my turn.

"Bend over and I'll show you."

lmao - thats funny....

Anyway -

National Lampoons - Christmas Vacation

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

Well done Icarus.

For those who are unfamiliar with the movie:

Todd and Margo Chester, the Griswold's yuppie neighbors, appear

Todd: Hey Griswold. Where do you think you're gonna put a tree that big?

Clark: Bend over and I'll show you.

Todd: You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold.

Clark: I wasn't talking to you.

Brilliant movie. If you haven't seen it check it out.

Agreed.

Whose turn is going to be today?

Icarus guessed correctly so it is his turn. I'm sure he will drop by soon.

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

Clark: I wasn't talking to you. - That was/is a memorable line. Ya gotta love Chevy Chase.

@cabutchikas - some of us have jobs. Sorry to keep u waiting. What is that in you're pic - food? Are you a milk shake with ear muffs?
..........
OK - This is from another one of my all-time favs - If you've seen it, then this will come to you easy:

"You wouldn't want to go up there son. Theres nothing to eat up there now. Theres nothing but ice and snow and trees....You would be the only fresh meat up there. They'll come after you son. Just for the ugly fun of tearin' you apart".

Bigfoot & the Hendersons?

sry ged - not it - hint in 24 hrs.

I think gedmen may have meant "Harry & the Hendersons"

But, hmmm? sticking w/ the Chevy Chase theme:

Spies like us?

is there a bald bear in this film?

Bald Bear? no - and no spies either. Bald bear - dang - hate to think where he would be hangin' out.

Arizona Dream?

@areuponde, Bigfoot & the Hendersons was the title the film was released under in the UK :-D

next clue - Charles Martin Smith/Alaska

Thanks for the heads up ged. I always forget about those differing titles "across the pond."

I know cab's guess of AZ. dream is still out there, but just in case, my next guess is: Mystery Alaska?

not it either - another clue - Brian Dennehy

It has to be First Blood then?

[This Post has been removed by a ShareTV Moderator]

not it either - another clue -
An inexperienced biologist is deposited alone onto the desolate Arctic terrain to document the mysterious habits of wolves.

Dances with Wolves?

I know it's not DWW. Did they make a version of "Call of the Wild" with Brian Dennehy?

BTW that's my guess: Call of the Wild. =)

Maybe they did - theres so many of them but its not Call of the Wild and Dances With Wolves wasn't in Alaska.

Never Cry Wolf
