I muffed Hint # 1. I confused Dennis Hopper with the actual Dennis **** who is also known for riding a horse in his movies and sporting a cowboy hat, often in urban settings. Not sure if he is currently living or dead.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/21/1008:33 PM
I don' tknow and I don't want to google it and cheat. So while we're waiting, I'll add one of my own:
You fool!! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous; never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well known is this; never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/21/1009:08 PM
Yes, Duel. Thanks for playing. Dennis is getting chased by this guy in a Semi truck. He is getting nervous and hits a steep hill to try to escape...saying, You can't beat me on the grade!
I guess that was a bad way to start the thread. I will try do think of a better one.

.....he distinctly said "to blave" and as well as know "to blave" means "to bluff". So you're probably playing cards and he cheated!
Love that movie....
I don't know the Utah one but I'll add my own.....
"That's pretty dangerous building a road in the middle of the street!"

Hint : Character also had a syndicated TV show.
This is just a guess. It is a show my Mom liked....Columbo?
Regarding this one I will add more hints..
"Two Utah, Get me two."
Hint Utah is the last name of an injured college football player (now FBI agent), Johnny Utah.
Hint Skydiving and surfing are a big part of the movie
Hint Gary Busie played the character who spoke the quote.
additonal hint One of the main characters was played by an actor who recently died of pancreatic cancer, also starred in many movies where he was able to show his exceptional dancing ability.
additional hint Bank robbers dressed as former presidents.

Good guess, but this was Point Break. Patrick Swazye was right on though. Other actor was Keanu Reeves. Swayze and his crew were bank robbers who were also hardcore surfers. Johnny Utah had to learn to surf and win over Bohdi (Patrick S.) to break the ring up.
They were on a stake out (Johnny and his ponchy partner) when Utah went to get lunch. The partner said he wanted two sandwiches not one calling out, "Two Utah, get me two."

Nope. Here is another quote from the same character, same movie.....
"Hey, listen, Bernie the Agent, why don't you say "hello" to Arnie the alligator?"
Another hint : This was in the opening scene of the move which took place in a swamp. The move had many cameo appearances of famous actors of the day including Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, and Dom DeLuise.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/26/1004:10 AM
It's my FAVORITE Western of all time. I love the theme, I love the lines, love the characters - imho, there was not a better Western ever (and I like a lot of westerns!)
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/30/1009:23 AM
That sounds like Hoffa...I liked Nicholson and his hallmark scrunching of his face, twisting and stretching his neck as he was grabbing his tie speaking in that movie.

I have never seen this movie. I will have to check it out.
I watched Up this weekend with my kids. Holy macaroni. The 1st 5 minutes were about as good as anything I have ever seen. It was very mature, emotionally. If you have not seen it it is one of Walt Disney's animated movies by Pixar. The remainder of the movie was pretty good, but the first 5 minutes are worth the price of admission and it is enjoyable on an adult level.

Good one alohatony, if you scroll up 4 post you will see that this question has already been answered by me. Why don't you give us a movie line to figure out?

It was filmed in a small town of Anacortes Washington, which is near where I grew up, so maybe I had more interest in the movie than most folks. But I think Deborah Wagner did well in it and it was fairly acclaimed.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 07/25/1102:37 PM
And I was way off. John Lennon is the one who said "children should be obscene and not heard." I think it's a quote from one of his books, which were basically puns. I knew I'd heard it somewhere...
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 07/26/1110:06 AM
Man I wish I had a chance to watch that this weekend. I love when the run a movie I like all weekend long.
I watched it enough as a younger person to recall that one.
I think, I did the 50 eggs line earlier this thread.
Another great line from that movie is when his mom passes and the warden tosses him in the hole since "When a man's mamma dies he gets rabbit in his blood."
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 07/26/1105:37 PM
This is without question one of my favorite movies scenes of all time. Just to disclose this was an HBO movie as opposed to being one shown in the theaters.
"How many dead hemophiliacs do you need? How many people have to die to make it more cost efficient for you to do something about this? A hundred? A thousand? Give us a number so we won't have to annoy you again until the amount of money you begin spending on lawsuits makes it more profitable to save people rather than to kill them."

I don't have HBO Brad, but perhaps someone who does will pipe up. I will start a second one whilst others ponder the first. So now there are two puzzles readers can read and take a stab at.

NP Doin', it was kind of a stretch that someone would know the movie I was referencing. Those lines where from the HBO movie, "And the Band Played On." The movie takes place in the early 1980s during the onset of the HIV epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is trying their best to contain the virus, as it is beginning to appear in the nation's blood supply. (Which killed tennis star Arthur Ashe)
The American Red Cross and other major blood banks are reluctant to start testing the nations blood supply due to cost. It's a really an excellent factual movie, and here is the scene that I really love where one of the doctors for the CDC makes his point!

I did know Ashe died of AIDS. Ashe is very well known in our area., In fact he is one of the first non Civil War people if not the FIRST to have a statue on Richmond's Famous Monument Avenue (an avenue of very elaborate statues and monuments of Civil War big timers). I think Matthew Fontaine Maury has one and though he is of the Civil War era, he is most known as the Pathfinder of the Seas and the Father of Oceanography rather than his role in the Civil War (if he had one at all- I just do not know).
It was a prety intense debate to include his statue on the famous Avenue of historic figures.
Ashe's placemment there was in part due to his acting as a Jackie Robinson figure in the sport of tennis of course, though this was not the sole reason he was honored in this way.

Priscilla was in those movies with Leslie Nielsen and OJ--the Naked Gun series. The quote sounds like something from one of those, but I'd have no idea which one.

75Corvette you win the prize! Not sure what the prize is but you win. Seeing that Priscilla did not act in many movies I figured someone would know with that hint. The movie was Naked Gun 2.5 Smell Of Fear.Stupid movie but it made you laugh.

DRSK that was a good line and I always enjoy those movies with Leslie Neilsen, like Airplane and others. I was not as familiar with the Naked Gun series, but I did know about Priscilla Preslie.
As far as pb and banana sammiches go, they are the best.

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/09/1111:18 AM
This one is a bit more obscure. Old scifi flick.
"And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears locked away and in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God there is no zero. I STILL EXIST!"

This was also the last line of the film.
I am not much on scifi but do remember some of the older ones that were like the Twilight Zone series. Could it be Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

It came out in 1957. The lead character is almost killed by his cat.
In 2009, it was named to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant and will be preserved for all time.

The cat hint is what rattled the brain again. Is it Incredible Shrinking Man? I remember the cat hovering over him and the look of fear in his eyes.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/10/1107:16 AM
Here's one. Big movie, very dark.
"Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses to be bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?"
Hint: The person who said it in the movie was playing a priest.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/12/1110:41 AM
This was a voice over at the ending of the movie.
"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning that all glory is fleeting."

1. Shop assistant: “Hello, can I help you?” Vivian: “I was in here yesterday, you wouldn’t wait on me.” Shop assistant: “Oh.” Vivian: “You people work on commission, right?” Shop assistant: “Yeah.” Vivian: “Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.”

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/31/1101:19 AM
Marathon Man is correct.
Lawrence O. Played the villan. He said "Is it safe?" to Dustin Hoffman's character as he drilled into Hoffman's characters tooth to expose the nerve. The clove oil was used to numb the pain after he escaped.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 09/02/1101:19 PM

Hey, Grampa, that was a good one to post! I asked my wife and 15 year old daughter last night--I read them your clues. It was driving us nuts because we all thought it sounded familiar. My first thought was Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with John Candy and Steve Martin, but the dragon clue did that one in. My daughter finally googled the answer and we were all slapping our foreheads! My wife had actually said it sounded like Eddie Murphy, but Shrek never entered any of our minds. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 09/30/1110:23 PM
Whoa. I'm probably going to be mad at myself when someone finally gets this. I've probably seen it but nothing even comes to mind. Is it a newer movie (1980 and after)?
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/01/1108:56 AM
Yep, I did see it several years ago. In my defense I wasn't crazy about Chris O'Donnell at the time, though I like him in NCIS: Los Angeles. Always reminded me of Robin.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/01/1111:57 AM

Yes DRSRK--your addition is correct!
75Vette, I think I agree with you about Chris O'Donnell. He was very dry and a little unconvincing, but watching Pacino was a real treat. He had some outstanding voice lines in that movie, which if read by anyone else would have been totally routine.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/02/1108:56 AM

I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five. Hard to believe. Grandfather was a lawman. Father too. Me and him was sheriff at the same time, him in Plano and me here. I think he was pretty proud of that. I know I was.

Shazbot! Was spoken in which TV series? Super bonus points available for also naming the original series of which this sitcom was a spin-off. Good luck!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/08/1107:15 PM
Yes, that is right. I think there were several other spin-offs from that sitcom such as, Jonie Loves Chachi and Laverne and Shirley. I thought there was one about the resaurant too, Al's Place.
Here is another...The Simpsons got it's start in 1987 as a lead in segue to commercial break on what Fox variety show? The show was marginally successful, unlike the Simpsons which went on to become one of televisions all time most successful shows. The Simpsons is still in production 24 years later with the chacters all the same age. I am always amazed by that.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/12/1103:16 PM

You're right, That was the daughter's wedding to Carlo, Sonny was already married but still managed to get one of the bridemaid's up to an empty room. The character rehearsing his talk with the godfather was Lucca Brazzi. Later in the film "Lucca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes"

YES! "And may her first child be a masculine child."

Nice PA...Wilma!!! Okay I have heard this, but cannot confirm. Same question for The Simpsons--after which popular black and white sitcom was it loosely based--and I stress loosely.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/12/1207:05 PM
Awesome! I tossed around 3 different shows before I settled on that one...My Three Sons, The Brady Bunch (but I realized it was color and you said b & w, and Leave It to Beaver).
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/19/1212:52 PM
Well, Doin', it looks like your avatar is Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," but the quote itself is from "The Shining" meaning Jack Torrance. Just an aside, my wife had to take a business trip to Estes Park, Colorado, where the Stanley Hotel (the inspiration for The Shining) is located. Since I'm a huge Stephen King fan I couldn't wait to take the tour. The tour was cool, the guide was great--what surprised me was how small the typical guest room at the hotel was. Give me the Stanley for ambiance but the Marriott for comfort! Estes Park is beautiful!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/19/1202:43 PM
Actually, there is no shrub maze there and while there may be a big cooler we didn't get to see it. The original movie version of The Shining used a resort in Oregon as the "exterior" and if I remember right the rooms were just a movie studio. If you want to see a version that is actually much closer to the book, you need to see the 90s miniseries version starring Steven Weber, which actually used the Stanley Hotel, at least for some scenes. Even without the Stephen King vibe, the history at the Stanley is very cool. They have an old Stanley Steamer car there (it was invented by one of the Stanley brothers) and they showed us a short film with Jay Leno showing how to operate one. They were very dangerous cars and the thing blew up in his face as he tried to demonstrate. Very interesting stuff!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 04/10/1210:21 PM
Doin', this is a reply to your old post about The Simpsons. Here is a link to an article confirming you were correct with the Father Knows Best reference... http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-rt-us-simpsons-springfieldbre8391fz-20120410,0,4299993.story
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 04/11/1211:54 AM
Hmm, that's weird. It comes right up for me. Well, here's the relevant part, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The tales of Homer Simpson and his family have become embedded in television lore, but ever wonder where Springfield, the illustrious hometown of "The Simpsons," is really based?
The town of Springfield has become a character of its own on the popular animated TV show, serving as the backdrop to the adventures of the Simpson family. But in 23 years on air, the show's creator has kept the real location of the town veiled, saying he didn't want to "ruin it for people" -- until now.
In an interview with Smithsonian Magazine's May issue, Matt Groening revealed that the animated town is based on Springfield, Oregon, near his childhood hometown of Portland.
He also was inspired to use the town's name after it was featured on the 1950s television show "Father Knows Best."

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 04/26/1204:38 PM
Yes! In the police car in the next to last scene where the lady deputy is looking in the rearview mirror at the guy in the back seat and asking him why. Fantastic movie.

Beetlejuice was the movie I was quoting from.
Okay, YOUR movie, now that you said Brad Pitt... okay, I've only seen "A River Runs Through It"; my all time favorite, "Fight Club" (mainly b/c I'm a huge Edward Norton fan); The Coen brothers movie he did with Clooney; "Meet Joe Black", and "Troy".

That is from Pulp Fiction when Samuel Jackson is about ready to shoot that kid for not paying the bosses money. Excellent scene, and Samuel Jackson could play the role of a Preacher as well!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 05/02/1208:50 AM
Pulp indeed....
Funny story....shortly after seeing it for the 1st time I was at the shore and spotted two boats parked at a Marina.
The first was named SAY WHAT?
The second: SAY WHAT AGAIN
Now that's film appreciation!

Ten of the most recognizable movie lines-informally assembled by me. May the force be with you. Life is like a box of chocolates. You'll shoot your eye out kid. Follow the yellw brick road. Frankly my dear I don't give a damn. Go ahead. Make my day. Iceberg! Right ahead! Yo! Adrian! Say hello to my little friend. I'll be back.
Of them I think the 1st might be the most popular of all time. What quotes have I missed? I bet there are plenty more.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/12/1201:52 PM
The 1st one I recognize. I have been batting it around in my head. I want to say, Raiders of the Lost Ark. but I am not positive. Jurassic Park maybe. I just cannot place it for sure.
The second one I am not sure.
The 3rd one is a major big time one. Good one. ET. I think it would be hard to find someone who could not identify that one.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/12/1209:35 PM

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/08/1208:05 PM
Doin' - I am really bad at actress/actor names (except for John Wayne, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis - a few of my short list of favorites) and I don't think there's anyone famous in it; but, if I TOLD you the plot - the whole thing - it would ruin it for you. Starts out a bunch of young people (I was one once) heading out to a 'cousin's' cabin for some relaxing...not a show for your children to watch by any means (no nudity but they might have nightmares). You start to get the jist early on, but, there's a twist!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/30/1201:22 PM
LOST BOYS!!!! loved that movie, i found it in a bargain bin on vhs about 8 years ago, ive lost track of it now but got to watch it a few more times lol
how about this one...

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/18/1210:33 PM

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/19/1201:40 PM
Elf is not correct. Both are normal family type movies, probably about 25 years old. Quote #1 was spoken in a jail cell. Quote # 2 was in a hotel room.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/20/1212:28 AM
Is #2 Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? John Candy was a salesman in that one, and shower curtain hangers sounds appropriately goofy for him. I miss that guy.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/21/1208:16 AM
Thanks! There is a really funny scene in the beginning where he is panhandling as legless Vietnam vet. The police confront him after he harrasses one too many people. Then they question him about where he served in Vietnam. He ends up running into the building where the Dukes are, and into a room with a bunch of wealthy investors. When the cops aprehend him, he claims he was mistreated and asks the crowd, "Any of you a lawyer?" They all turn around to check their watches. Funny stuff.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/22/1308:10 PM
It was a great clue for me. It rang a bell in my head. Then all of these movie scenes started running through my head. I remembered the scene was spoken by a bad guy, then the accent fell into place. Then bingo! I do not even remember the title off of the top of my head. But it is John Malkovich right? He has a nickname in the movie, like 'the czar' or 'the Ruble' Poker movie with Matt Damon.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/23/1306:56 AM
Yeah, the movie is called "Rounders". Malkovich plays a Russian mobster known as "KGB" in the movie, that runs his own high stakes poker room in NYC. Matt Damon runs up a tremendous debt to KGB, and that line is towards the end of the movie where he wins that money off him and then some!
Being an intermediate poker player myself, makes me really love and relate to the movie. I feel that film helped blossom the popularity of Texas Hold Em poker.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/23/1306:59 PM
KGB. That's it. Yes, I liked that movie a lot. I play that game on my blackberry quite a bit. I am fascinated by it. I have very limited experience playing with real people though. Do you play with real BPO bucks?

I play $1-$2 NL Hold Em at the local Indian casino about two to three times a month. I enjoy it, and have learned the hard way not to press hands. So I am a conservative player, that will patiently wait for the right hand. My goal is to win one decent pot an hour, and spend the rest of that time just enjoying not to be working....lol.
I also enjoy playing on Zynga, and do that quite often. I have yet to "pay" for chips, and like AOL have made friends online. All in all I find poker to be very relaxing for me, and every so often I make a buck or two at it.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/23/1310:03 PM
Is pressing a hand a combination of hoping the next card will justify your bet as it will make your hand and bluffing a little with your bet--as if to say, I have something special here?
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/24/1309:59 AM
Exactly Doin'. Expressions like pressing and chasing are rather interchangeable in poker. People are more apt to do it when they are losing, to try and rush a recoup of funds. I should know, I've been down that road a time or two in the past.
Now I don't let that bother we nearly as much. If after the flop I am missing one card for a flush or have an outside straight chance, I might buy another card. Otherwise, unless I have something decent I fold.
Except for being one of the blinds, I would estimate I only look at the flop less than 10% of the time as I will often fold beforehand. Unless I have a decent pocket pair or a high suited straight chance, I won't bother. That's just me.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/28/1312:54 PM

BTW, Doin', I saw you changed your avatar to Walter White. I changed mine to Rick from Walking Dead---my family is currently hooked on both those shows. We are watching on Netflix streaming so we are behind a season or two...
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/29/1303:41 PM
Awesome. I have not watched the Walking Dead show. My mom loves Hell on Wheels. I just finished S1 of Sons of Anarchy. You watch that? It's a bit gnarly, but entertaining.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/29/1303:45 PM
Yes, but we have only watched the first episode of season 1. I just can't believe that's Peg Bundy, LOL! Have not seen Hell on Wheels--will look for it. We dropped satellite in favor of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon last summer. Took some getting used to, but it's so much cheaper!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 01/29/1309:03 PM
She is one of the best characters.
We did sort of the same thing. Had cable galore, but I kept the base channels of tv, so we get like 12 channels, 2 of which are PBS and another is CSPAN. I still get many others, they are just fuzzy, but I don't care.
Hell on Wheels is post Civil War and they are working on the rail road. Sort of a western.

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 02/12/1308:43 AM
Doin', I pondered your clue, but I couldn't even hazard a guess. My first thought was one of the James Bond flicks, but you said it was a show. Hmm. Love the new avatar, by the way! Now there's a guy who could cruise into a neighborhood and take BPO photos without raising suspicion LOL!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 02/12/1301:14 PM
Thanks Corvette. You inspired me to make the change.
The lines are recurring in many episodes. The show is really 'out of this world.'
I like the image of Pinkman in the car. It bolsters my role as a BPO agent. When I had the Clark Griswold avatar he was in a car too. Another of my favorites.
Someone did a really funny one of two movie stars stunt driving a convertable. I wish I could remember more. I just remember laughing.

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 02/26/1302:12 PM
Duel is pretty decent. I looked it up on a review website and it got 7.7 out of 10 stars. That is about right. A business commuter is pursued and terrorized by a malevolent driver of a massive tractor-trailer. Director: Steven Spielberg. It is a "ChiPs" era movie, if you recall that TV show.
Of all the cool movies and memorable lines I can't understand exactly why I started the thread with that one. I guess you have to start somewhere.
My buddy and I used to do a lot of driving in HS and would use that line for laughs (You can't beat me on the grade) when we were out on the road. I suppose that is why I was inspired to use it.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 02/26/1304:04 PM
When I was a little kid, Duel scared the crap out of me. Now when I watch it I wonder why Dennis Weaver has to be such a wuss. Wasn't he panicking about going 60 mph?
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/14/1310:06 PM
HA!! That would be Shawshank, baby! Filmed right here in my hometown! And, other than Bull Durham, pretty much the only movie in which I can stomach Tim Robbins.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/18/1308:43 AM
Well played Corvette! I expected nothing less. That is a cool claim to fame about your town. I agree about Tim Robbins, and even his wife Susan S. It really speaks of their acting talents when they can cause the political opposition to suspend their disapproval of the person caused by their political stances, based on their performance. I know a lot of actors/actresses cannot make that happen.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/19/1310:09 AM
Ahhh, yes, Susan Sarandon! I was 20 when Bull Durham came out--I'm guessing she's around 65-70 now, so she would had to have been around 40 back then. Oh, my! I liked her in Rocky Horror, too...

It's one of the very few claims to fame that we have! I worked in a hardware store right behind where they filmed the bank scene toward the end of the movie--the Hollywood people were rushing about pretending to be important all day long--there was a big food trailer out in our parking lot. They bought lots of Makita tools! They made a big show out of name-dropping at the cash register--"Last week, I was working with so-and-so--he is sooo cool!" We would smile and nod to indicate how impressed we were, then bust up laughing when they left. Good times, good times... I never got to see any of the actual filming since I was working, but the person that Morgan Freeman bought a bus ticket from was my boss' wife.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 03/19/1312:59 PM
That is a funny story Corvette. And an awesome segue into the next clue--from a popular TV show. "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
We have had some movies made in our town. The Recruit, starring Colin Ferrel and Al Pacino. A local British pub adapted it's business hours to accommodate the crew and cast by staying open past 2am. They continued to serve alcohol (an ABC boo boo), as it was reported. Also there was mention of risqué dancing on table tops.
Also a major tv event for HBO, John Adams, was filmed here. Tom Hanks was the producer, I am not clear if he starred in the miniseries as well. I do not have any good stories about that.

Spot-on Malok! It was when Cosmo was in the Woody Alan film that was being filmed out in the street. George messed everything up parking cars while the car parking guy was away. Woody was upset, according to Kramer. His line in the movie was, "These pretzels are making me thirsty."

We might be telepathically linked Corvette. I saw your post...read the first 1/2 of it and ran around the internents trying to get a new avatar pic for my clue. I don't want to answer it so quickly. I thought I'd let others get a chance to weigh in. But then when I got everything together I read the 2nd 1/2 about the other quote and I could not agree more. I was just thinking the same thing about 90 seconds ago. Pardon the French, but "You're G#$damn right" Corvette. The "Say my name" quote was an instant classic. Very powerful.

Love that movie, "The Christmas Story". The dad is my favorite character. Everytime he "swears" in the movie, it's a loud angry mumble of a rant which keeps it G-rated. Good stuff !!!!!!!!

DelCids, only 2 pirate movies come to mind for me. Either its from one of the 65 Pirates of the Caribbean movies, or Peter Pan. Or maybe The Adventures of Tom Sawyer--I think he had ideas of being a pirate, too.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 04/10/1402:24 PM
It is the movie you were talking about Corvette. And it was vampires not pirates. I thought it was tied to Peter pan as Hook was. Thanks for catching it.
Some of these are going unanswered.
I want answers! You want the truth? I think I am entitled.

Someone should get this right away. "I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way."
Another quote from the same conversation: "Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood."

Great flick. It's the first film I can remember seeing where it starts out with the last scene, and then go backwards in time so interestingly, that I had forgotten all about that final scene when it occurs again!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/12/1402:57 PM
OK, a couple new ones. First, there is no dialogue in the important part of this scene (so this is actually a scene, not a line). Every red-blooded heterosexual male on this board between the ages of 42 and 52 should have this scene seared into their brains. The scene is this:
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/18/1403:48 PM
Another great flick Doin' but alas, not the right one! Another clue: "There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand." Also, the plot centers around the search for a bike...

"Moving in Stereo" by The Cars begins to play
I can't listen to that song without thinking of that scene!!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/24/1406:50 AM
Analog Man, I was driving somewhere with my wife the other day, and when I got in the car and turned on the ignition, the radio came on and was playing a song by The Cars--I don't remember which song, but it was one of their lesser-known minor hits. And I said, "Dangit, why aren't they playing Moving in Stereo?" My wife just gave me that look. She knows why I love that song. They ALL know...LOL
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/26/1405:10 PM
"Moving in Stereo" is on The Cars debut album. The thing about that song, is that on the LP, it is immediately followed by another song called "All Mixed Up". There is no gap between the two, and they compliment each other very nicely.
Moving in Stereo gets minor airplay, but is never followed with All Mixed Up on the radio. That's too bad IMO, and pi$$es me off when that occurs. If your not familar with latter song, give it a listen!! (On vinyl, the way it should be!!!)
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/29/1406:51 PM
Wow, I'm gonna have to watch that movie again...it's been several years. All those lines posted by you and Analog Man got me itching to watch Carl the groundskeeper.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 10/31/1401:47 AM
Judge Smales is another good reason to enjoy the movie. You know Danny I have sentenced children younger than you to the electric chair. I didn't want to but I felt I owed it to them.
And don't forget the soundtrack. Journey and Kenny Loggins. Enjoy.

I have seen the movie and the quotes are very familiar but it has to be 20 years since I had seen the movie. I just could not break through the cobwebs. I still feel proud about NAILING Fastimes. Call me Spucoli. Who was the teach? Mr. Hand. Ha ha. Hey.....who knows what band they had tickets to go see in concert?

I remember that one kid (I think his name was Mike Damone or something) trying to sell tickets to see Cheap Trick, but I don't remember any others. I remember some kids trying to get tickets at the mall but I don't remember what band. Might've still been Cheap Trick.

From the same movie......
I want to ask you a question first. You're my older brother. Let me ask you some advice...
You are a married man, right? I am about to be a married man. What can I expect from this marriage thing? What is the honest scoop?
The honest scoop? The first month, from the beginning, is terrific. It's great. The second month, things calm down a little bit. Third month, you're looking through old phone numbers, old girlfriends... But, by the fourth month... by the fourth month you're just... you're numb. You know? Just... It's incredible.
So by the fifth month, hopefully, football season starts.
- Football. - You got ball games. You got Monday Night.
Stan, I am so glad we had this chat. You've really answered my questions.......
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/24/1405:36 PM
I think it's Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks---I remember his brother was a dentist or something. I do definitely remember that brotherly conversation but can't say definitively it's Bachelor Party. I'm about 89.5% sure LOL. If in fact it is Bachelor Party, I love that movie except for the one friend who keeps trying to kill himself. That character was way too whiny for me. I definitely love Tawny Kitaen in her pre-off-the-cliff-crazy days, before she beat up her husband with her high heeled shoes in the car, and before the Whitesnake videos...

Oh yes, my "dream girl" for sure before she went off the deep end. Excellent movie !!!!!
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 12/05/1412:16 PM
In fact I did not know that, Doin', but I can tell you that REM is also featured in a very dumb, mostly-forgotten, yet very classic cult film called The Party Animal, from 1984 (Radio Free Europe is the song). Watching this movie would probably get you kicked out of what passes for polite society in these troubled times, which is one of the reasons why I count it as one of my favorites.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 12/06/1402:18 PM
I've not heard of that Corvette. I do recall REM on Sold Gold. I don't recall the song.
# 1 "Go do that voodoo that you do so well." Great great great movie. Outstanding actor now deceased.
# 2 "I sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber Danny. I didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them. Different movie but also great. I thought I had posted this one already but I couldn't find it. .
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 12/13/1405:09 AM
Most certainly correct you are on #2. Regarding #1 there are not many family friendly quotes in this comedy that is the complete opposite of politically correct. But I will try. "Howard Johnson is right. . "I'll do a number six on them sir". And "the town of Rock Ridge welcomes the new sheriff . Those are all loose quotes.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 12/13/1411:56 PM
Got to be "Blazing Saddles" Mel Brooks as the governor wearing a tux with the word GOV on the back. Harvey Corman "That's Hedley Lamar, not Hedy" and Alex Karras (Mongo) punching a horse.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/04/1501:59 AM
Yes and yes. Me too but my son rightfully pointed out the newer movies have much better fighting scenes than the original three. I hope the next three are better. He says they are even working on prequel prequels called the Old Republic. And we both think the Indiana Jones series will connect eventually. Mayans will discover a crashed escape pod with the droids in it in the mountains of Central America.

Oh geez. You're probably right. That explains the alien craft in the last Indiana Jones movie. I think I'm gonna be
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/08/1503:06 PM
I am glad you showed up Corvette. I was stumped... Ready to ask Barb for different clues.
All mine come from the same few movies. How about this?
Now, Ms. Vito, being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 08/28/1504:16 PM

My wheels are turning Barb. Turning. I don't like to google these things. I know that quote. I just need to apply myself. Great quote. Is it from the Star Wars series????

Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 09/03/1506:51 AM
Yes, it is, Doin'.
Yeh, it's more fun for me if I can think them through - sometimes I get a gut feeling I know the movie. That's what happened on the last one: your 2nd clue tuned me in.
Re: Name that Flick. Great movie Lines. - 11/28/1506:14 PM
The Karate Kid remake. The giveaway clues: "the apple of Will and Jada" and "the Orient." Also you made a remark about painting the fence in the original. This one took thought and research. WOW---definitely the hardest one I've seen posted on here! Good Job!

It's my FAVORITE Western of all time. I love the theme, I love the lines, love the characters - imho, there was not a better Western ever (and I like a lot of westerns!)
Think women workout videos from years back. One of the actors was a rebel and died last year but was not the one that said the quote. I thought this would be easy.
