Yup. Great movie. Took Hollyweird years to get Stephen King right, but when they nail it, they nail it pretty damn good.

"I'll eat the shit. I don't care. I'll eat the entire hunk of shit."

Sounds like a "Weight Watchers" commercial.

Anchor Man

"excuse me!---Bear.....uh, BEAR FUCKER! Do you need assistance?!"

Super Troopers!

Convoy

Made me laugh out loud. I'm glad I swallowed my MD first.

Brooke, I think you got that one. Lumberjim probably won't be back for a while to tell you that you won.

Do you have a movie quote for us?

I'm gonna cut in line here for the time being:

"When the gourmet urge is upon me, I needs must dine alone."

thats gotta to be from silence of the lambs ot t'sequel.....

Nope much much earlier. Jody foster was probably in diapers...

OK she was seven.

mmmmm.... origanal Dracula movie?

getting colder...

Alice's Restaurant?

mmmm..... the only other character I can think of into gourmet dining would be Poirot.... Death on the Nile?

Oh god, you are getting closer, but not as far as the nile.

The Two Towers?

Orient Express?

OK, I'm gonna be away from the boards for a spell, so I'll give you a colossal hint:

Ringo Starr was the supporting actor in this movie.

hint back: Thunderclap Newman Something in the Air was the ending?

That's the name! - Magic Christian - Els got it on the other thread.

Now I'm confused...which thread do I have to post a question in?

both! MC was the corect answer in both - I could remember the song but I couldn't remember the movie title.

Well, the other thread moved along without me, and that's fine. Let's see...

A jazzy version of "Three Blind Mice" was the frequent opening of what series of short films?

The Stooges?

Keystone Cops (Kops?)?

Stooges it is!

OK, what movie is this quote from?

"First thing it's two minutes, then four, then six, then the next thing you know, we're the U.S. mail."

Cast away?

Yes! Awesome.

It was just on TV the other night.
Your turn.

I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Fight club

yup

"Oh boys, lookee what I got heyuh."
"Hey, where the white women at."

Blazing Saddles?

Absotively. Your turn.

someone else can take mine -- I'm off grid for a few days...

This man wishes to be accorded the same privilege as a sponge...he wishes to *think*!

Nobody gonna take a shot at this one?

I can't place it, Els...maybe another hint?

I think I can almost hear it in my head...but where did I hear it?

Is it Inherit the Wind?

Yup!

I kept thinking about it, then I could hear Spencer Tracey saying those words. Excellent movie!

OK, here's mine:

And they came to me to supervise the project, you know, because I think that, if you know me at all, you know that death is my bread and danger my butter - oh, no, danger's my bread, and death is my butter. No, no, wait. Danger's my bread, death - no, death is - no, I'm sorry. Death is my - death and danger are my various breads and various butters.

I don't know the movie, but that's a quote in the cookie file...

What does that mean, a quote in the cookie file?

No guesses? Do we want hints or do we just not care and want to move on? Admittedly, the movie itself is a bit obscure, but the quote is typical of the writer/director...in fact, this was his debut film. Coming up with the writer/director will get you the win.

Then you can pick from this studio filled with fabulous prizes.

I know, but I won't say. But I bet Austin Power's "Allow myself to introduce myself", and "Danger is my middle name", is an hommage to the movie.

Yes, you're probably right! Same genre, for sure.

I thought it sounded more like Monty Python:
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Our cheif weapons is fear - fear and surprise. Our two mains weapons are fear, surprise, and a fanatical devotion to the pope." etc.

Nope, not Python.

Thanks Clodfobble! I hadn't noticed that before!

Do we want the answer, or does anyone else have a guess? (

Pink Panther?

Kevin Smith?
Midnight Shamalamadingdong?
Is it the movie with William H. Macey, Grag Kinear, Janine Garofolo, etc. as whacky super heroes?

That movie is MysteryMen.

No to all the above.

Another hint:

A quote from one of this writer/director's well-known movies sounds an awful lot like his personal life:

She's 17. I'm 42 and she's 17. I'm older than her father, can you believe that? I'm dating a girl, wherein, I can beat up her father.

Woody Allen? I have no idea...

It must be a Woody Allen flick. Casino Royale?

Johnny English

Woody Allen it is! Since I said getting the writer/director would suffice it looks like Jinx got it.

The movie is "What's Up, Tiger Lily" and it was a Japanese spy film that Woody bought, removed the voice track and dubbed his own, the new plot centering around a secret egg salad recipe. It's pretty funny.

Your turn, Jinx!

God damn it, that's not all!! 'Cause if one of those things get down here then that will be all! And all this bullshit that you think is so important, you can kiss all that goodbye!
