Movie Quotes!
 

Can you name the movie from just one quote?

[Admiral Benson comes into the briefing room in riding pants]

Admiral Benson: Be seated! Ah... Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don't give me any shit. Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger ... and a woman". You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life.

Oops! we already have one of these in Nothingland....sorry UT! :blush:

Catch 22?

No :D

hot shots

Yes!

I'm going on vacation in the morning, so I have to do an easy one:

"Barney Rubble, what an actor"

I know that.... it was Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront'....



mmmm..... or was it John Wayne in StageCoach...?

No.

Second quote from same movie:

"Why don't they just put mayonaise in the can with the tuna fish? Better yet, why not just feed mayonaise to tuna?" Speaks into personal tape recorder "This is Chuck, call Starkist"

Michael Keaton in "Night Shift".

"Are you a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?"

Correct! Your turn, El.

That *was* my turn. :)

"Are you a man or a mouse? I mean, a woman or a wouse?"

'Mice? No, you've got it wrong.... *we* used the mice in our experiments...'

HHGTTG!

Somebody still needs to answer els ...

And Ibram is wrong, unfortunately. Here's a hint: stoned, mature women.

nonono, i was responding to hjay's interjection.

I'd guess, but I already cheated and looked it up.

I think you may need to toss out a few more hints. I had no idea, but once I read the answer, I could picture one of the characters saying it. It was a fairly big movie at the time, but kind of dated, and most people might have trouble with this one.

Final hint: "You take one more step and I'm gonna turn you from a rooster into a hen with one shot!"

Nine to Five! that was Dolly Parton's line!

Brianna nails it! Take it away, mistress.

yay!!

Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up: THIS... is my BOOM STICK!

;)

Witches of Eastwick?

No. Think more...militarily influenced.

Stripes?

No...good guess, though...want me to tell you?

You've got to let it go longer than that...

If you're just dying to tell us something, head over to the Relationships thread and tell us how the nerd boffing is going. :blush:

You know what? I'm stupid for spilling my guts all over this place all the time. From here on out, I am a Woman of Mystery! (spooky music *here*)

Dances With Wolves?

No, not Dances with wolves---horror/comedy, military (like a BRANCH of the military) and...a big hint-chainsaw (not the chainsaw massacre of any of its spawn. And, not spawn, either)

Starship Troopers?

No...

OK--Ash

Army of Darkness... easy one. I have three versions of that piece of crap.
"Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; retails for about one hundred nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!"

Yep--Army of Darkness--

I'm surprised all you geeks didn't get that one right away! ;)

"Evil, pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension!"

Buckaroo Banzai!!!!!

You'll be thinking about a plate of shrimp, and all of a sudden someone will say plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.

Dang... thought I had a good one there.

I guessed to myself, and then like a big dummy I went and did a search to see how off I was...and it turns out I was right. :smashfrea

D'OH!

hint: Otto replies to the above musing on the cosmic {un}consciousness:

Hey Miller, did you do a lot of Acid back in the Hippie Days?


so that puts a general time frame on it, anyway.

Like, whose turn is it to lay out a new quote?

me:
You'll be thinking about a plate of shrimp, and all of a sudden someone will say plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp.

Oh...I get it now. It seems that BC had the same dilemma that I just had in the Music Trivia thread.

OK, one more hint:

ET is in the trunk (boot) of a '64 Chevy Malibu!

The Truman Show?

If no one answers correctly in the next few hours, I'm gonna pull an Elspode...

You're going to buy a house you can't afford and subject yourself to two months of interminable moving, frustration, remodeling and exhaustion? Man, you do take this thread serously, don't you? :D

OK take it away bluecureacow...

and remember: the life of a Repo Man is always intense!

Moo-kay...

"Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'll haul that tanker. If you wanna get out of here, you talk to me."

Road Warrior? The second Mad Max one?

Duel?

Glatt got it right.

Gentlemen! You can't fight in the war room.

Dr. Strangelove.

"Francois - get down here and help..me...find...my...nose!"

Whoops! Foot3 jumped the gun and I went right with him.

Glatt, you're up.

Sorry. I was overcome with rebellion.

That's cool. Here's an easy one:

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!"

Animal House-house-house!

Right on.

"The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell... and those bars slam home...that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it."

Shawshank Redemption?
