Wow, a psychic link because I was originally thinking of Powers Booth when I guessed wrong - weird...In any case, I think you are pretty much giving it away now since most of the other folks in Souther Comfort were transitioning into or out of tv land during the early eighties, and what is left over leaves very little theatrically released period pieces.

Following a logical trail, I can only assume you got to thinking about Walter Hill from my last round.

He made a family film in 1980.....family film in a very different sense of the term. Family members playing family members. (Acting talent from the Keach, Carradine, and Quaid families)

It ain't Peckinpah, but still a great movie in my opinion.

The Long Riders.

-Jon

PS: Regarding your preference for Peckinpah films - Over most of the last two decades, our little town of Healdsburg has played host to an old theater that was refurbished, updated, and named the Raven Theater. The guy behind it has since left the area (I think he now lives in your neck of the woods) and although it is now attached to a smaller adjacent mini-theater film center, the main house is falling severely out of use. (Our town if full of idiots who don't know how to let a business do its thing.) Long story-short, The guy who ran the Raven had a thing for Peckinpah, and about once a year or so, he would run a week-long Peckinpah festival. It was great. On top of that, when pickins' were slim, He'd run The Wild Bunch for a weekend just for kicks.

Good times.

-Jon

It ain't Bad Sam... but it's the next best thing, his protege Walter Hill.

Cool theater story! That I would like to see.

Thanks for saving me the effort of making a point about the unique casting in Long Riders.

It's all yours, Jonathan!

Okay, so here goes the next round.

This is from a very stylized film that was practically bursting at the seams with high-powered talent.

The following quote is very brief, but comprises the initiating sequence of an infamous (though low-key) scene that involved the much anticipated pairing of two very notable actors. This info practically gives it away, but I'll post the quote anyhow.


Character One: "How you doin?"

(pause)

"Whatdaya say I buy you a cup of coffee?"


Character Two: "Yeah, sure. Let's go."


Character One: "Follow me."

Friends ... the movie.

I didn't realize they had made a movie version. But I never watched the show so I never kept up on what they're up to.

In any case, Friends it is not. (The movie I am quoting is a one word title though)

Next clue:

The film I quoted from was released in 1995

Aha! Thank you. I had an idea what it might be, and was about to ask you for a hint via the release date. And indeed, the one I'm thinking of was out in '95. I might have this one cinched, yet again...

Heat.

Pacino meets DeNiro.

Bingo. ding ding ding !

I only quoted the very short traffic stop scene as I think the dialogue from the next scene in the coffee shop would have been too obvious.

The remote is yours, Chris.

-Jon

Sorry guys, it's been a very busy past couple of days, but I'll have a head-scratcher for you in the morning.

Hey its been a couple of weeks and chris is a busy man so i don't think he'll mind if i pick this one up and dust it off.

This is a tricky one, i think its only for the hardcore film buffs but it was a great film and its a long quote.

"I was called to the bathroom at the cemetery to take care of something. I walked in the bathroom, and in the middle toilet right there... somebody didn't s##t in the toilet, somebody s##t on the toilet. They s##t on the wall, they s##t on the floor. I had to clean it up, man, but before that, for about 10 to 15 seconds man, I just stared at somebody's s##t, man. To be totally honest with you, man, it was a really, really profound moment. Cuz I was thinkin', "I'm 30 years old, and in about 10 seconds I gotta start cleaning up somebody's s##t, man."

I might be wrong maybe it'll go pretty fast.

Andy.

I cheated and looked it up. I won't spoil it for everybody, but I gotta ask, is it a good movie? I'm always looking for something new to rent.

Thanks Andy for rescuing this thread -- it's true that I got snowed under with work and just couldn't get back into this. I appreciate the revitalization here but I would like to ask that from here on out let's keep it relatively clean, please. The occasional *** word is fine once in awhile but I'd prefer that we keep this thing from getting vulgar with every other word in the line. Thanks in advance,

Yeah Chris fair enough didn't mean to lower the tone, its just that its probably the best quote in the film and it will most likely resonate with just about every filmmaker at some point or another (big clue by the way).

Mark, this film in my opinion is one that we all should watch so i suggest renting it, its a crazy film but worth a watch.

Andy.

No takers?. here's another more well known quote from the film

"It's alright, it's okay, there's something to live for... Jesus told me so!"

If you've seen the film you will definitely get it from that.

Andy.

Is it Dogma?

sorry Jeff good guess but its not quite as mainstream as that..

Okay here is a realy obvious clue, the plot is about a guy trying to get his movie made.

Hopefully that helps if not i'm all out of clues so the next clue will be the name of the film.

Andy.

The film was 'American Movie', i'm surprised it didn't go considering the high number of American members here at dvinfo.

Anyway first come first served, its up for anyone who has a quote so fire away

Andy.

OK, this one should be easy... who knows.

"This ending’s silly. Why would the courtesan go for that penniless writer?"

Unfortunately, I know this, My wife loves this movie and I can't stand it, I still can't believe she dragged me to the theater when this came out, talk about torture, Mulon Rouge. Not sure if I spelled it right?

You are correct, Mark, except for the speilling (Moulin Rouge). It is definitely a love it or hate it kind of movie, but I happened to love it.

Your turn.

"I've never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.
Most of these guys never had a prime.
This guy here is dead.
Cross him off then."

This movie is one of my all time favorites. This should go very quickly.

Just a guess here but its the first one that came to mind. I'm gonna say,

"The Replacements" ?

-Jon

Jonathan, good guess, but wrong sport, I'll give my 1st clue:

"Take me out to the ball game..."

Was it Major League? Or something like that?

I can't remember if that's the exact title.

Mike

Yes it was major league, this was said right before Willie Mays Hayes pulls up in the tricked out bug. Your turn...

Mike had the correct answer, but he has not posted a new quote, so I'm going to pick it back up and keep the ball rolling.

"If the United States falls under attack our job is to defend her in the past, present and future.
And after that?
After that, we take our orders from the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt?"

This one's a little tougher. Good luck

Ok here's the 1st hint, this movie came out in the 80's.

Mark, sounds like Final Countdown.

Chris, you are correct, it is the final couintdown, my only wish is that they would have engaged, but then I guess you get into changing all of history... could have made for an interesting sequel? Good cast in the movie though, and a great premise for the time.

You're up...

Thanks Mark, but I'll have to defer on this one and throw the challenge back to you. Hope to offer up one of my own again sometime soon. The remote is once again in your hands!

Thanks Chris...this one's fairly easy.

"Well, you know what my dad always said, Having dreams is what makes life tolerable."

I know that one.....RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!! I actually made Rudy a clue in a clue game/bike race i hosted last year. It wasnt this quote, but Ive seen this movie so many times!

Jason,

If you know you are right, go ahead with the next quote...

ok, this is from one of my favorite movies of all time.

"Alright, stop right there, and I'll bring back the sun..."

Sorry Jason, you are correct, I was away for the weekend...

Any chance it was "The Truman Show"?

I'm gonna guess "Joe versus the Volcano"

-Jon

Sorry Mark and Jonathan, neither of those are correct. good guesses tho!

Jason, is this movie a paradoy of something else? I can't remember the name??? If so I guess that's a clue...

Not a parody really, but very silly humor. Here's a hint:

It is an 80's movie.

A kid in king arthur's court?
