"I got news for you pal. You ain't leavin but two things right now, Jack and S#@!, and Jack left town"

Ash to King Henry the Red in Army of Darkness

 

[Lyle]

"How am I not myself?"

 

[clayj]

No one ever did get this one:

"You have nowhere to go... you have nowhere to go."

 

[benbondu]

Here's one:

"What kind of car do you drive?"

"...It's a Cavalier...a red Cavalier."

I'll answer that with another quote from the same movie.

"I'm making Wayne Gretzky's head bleed for super fan #99 over here."

 

[xsedrinam]

Pace, timing and delivery all converged to follow one of the greatest set ups, ever, for this classic line: "I'll have what she's having."

It's from When Harry Met Sally. Well known trivia, but the lady who delivers that line is Rob Reiner's mother (and Reiner directed the movie).

Yep. When it comes to humor and good directing, I don't mind nepotism as long as it's all in the family.... 😀

Reminds me, I hate when Martin Scorsese makes a cameo appearance in his movies. Every time I see, in his small brief roles, it takes me out of the movie experience. Like in Gangs of New York, I was enjoying that movie heaps until he shows up in a cameo as a boutique photographer. Holy hell, it ruined the movie for me.

Same in Signs, when M.Night S made an appearance as the wounded truck driver. Holy hell, that ruined it for me also.

Huh, that's funny, sometimes I rather enjoy those appearances by directors in their own films... haven't seen Gangs of NY because I'm partial to Scorse's older films, but I always liked that scene in Taxi Driver when Cybil Sheppard walks by and Scorsese is the guy sitting in the background on the sidewalk smiling. Also like the scene in Apocolypse where Coppola is the news reporter yelling at the soliders: "Don't look at the camera! Don't look at the camera, it's for television!"

And then there's Oliver Stone's appearance in The Doors as the film school instructor. That one was pretty lame (but then again so is Oliver Stone for the most part).

No one ever got this one:

"Are we like couples you see in restaurants? Are we the dining dead?"

...and here's another:

"Me, I don't talk much...I just cut the hair."

 

[Jon'sLightBulbs]

She: You're crazy.
He: You're beautiful.

Solution: the movie is Crazy/Beautiful, starring Kirsten Dunst (2001). I guess nothing's obvious unless you already know the answer. 🙂

 

[xsedrinam]

This rather obscure quote is pregant with significance to the overall plot of the film.
"People don't always tell you what they're thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance, in life."

Here are some more to get these thread going again.

These first two are from the same movie:
1. Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.
2. C'mon, he's insane. Look. Right now he's probably dancing around in his grandma's panties, yeah, rubbing himself in peanut butter.

3. Well, uh, my name is Roberta, and... I'm addicted to porn and I masturbate constantly.

4.What are you gonna do?
We might have to amputate.
Whoa, Doc! Don't take the leg! Ira, don't let them take my leg.
Isn't there anything else you can do? He thinks he's an athlete.
Doctor, look!
It's headed for his testicles.
Take it! Take it! Take the leg!

And finally:
5. Cue the sun!

The Truman Show?

 

[boz2004]

No one ever got this one:

"Are we like couples you see in restaurants? Are we the dining dead?"

despite the familiarity of this quote (I've bashed my head in enough on this to admit defeat)... I can't seem to get past the image of Billy Crystal... and I know this isn't one of his movies...

Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle, maybe? that can't be right, either

Evolution... (after the 7-up yours guy had one of the aliens go into him)

I couldn't get too into this movie - I saw it twice in hopes I was just too critical the first time... but I kept thinking I was seeing some unholy union of Ghostbusters and any 50's era SF piece... too distracting... 😛

A bit off topic perhaps, but take the Monty Python Quiz just put up by Entertainment Weekly.

I'll answer that with another quote from the same movie.

"I'm making Wayne Gretzky's head bleed for super fan #99 over here."

"What, was he gonna step to you Snoop Dogg?!?"

Nah, it's from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

Both are from the movie Se7en. I did my first year film essay on it... watched it three times in a row in the theatre so I could make notes. Have one watched it once since, but it's a brilliant movie.

The Truman Show?

Correct.

Two to prove Americans watch European movies. 😉 Hope they haven't been done yet -- I tuned out during a couple of the middle pages. 😀

1) There's just one thing I don't understand: every mother****** word you just said.

2) I thought it mattered. I thought that music mattered. But it's bollocks compared to the people matter.

Is that Brassed Off?

...3. Well, uh, my name is Roberta, and... I'm addicted to porn and I masturbate constantly. ...

No idea, but I really want to see the movie!
