Yeah! Here's the next one. It may be too easy for some, too hard for others.

A) Where we going?
B) Mexico.
A) What's in Mexico?
B) Mexicans.

From Dusk Till Dawn, eh?

Bah, I knew it would be too easy.

It's all you Nick! :)

"Very clever dinner. Appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie."

"It's a quiche."

"How do you spell?"

"Well you don't spell it, son, you eat it."



Good Luck.

Sixteen Candles!

I've had no clue on the last bunch. But, I grew up on Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club....I lived those movies!

Oooooh, Sexxxxyy Giiiiirrrrrlfrieeeennddd!


Yeah, you got it. You're up Mr. Murphy.

~Nick Vaughan

bloody timezone, by the time I get back home the quiz is turning passive

by the time that you guys answer I'm already catching the zzzz's :p

Ok, start your engines...

"The only thing I wanna do is go the distance -- that's all."

Sounds like "Rocky" to me.

Mike

Rocky must be right. At least I was beaten to it by the movie quote champ at this stage I believe.
Balboa to Adrian in the ice area, I am pretty sure but I just wanna go the distance with the champ myself.

Hey, If we are right, you take this one Chris. Post a good quote! Dylan we love this.

Mike

I believe Mike got this and I am close to certain we both guessed it AND Mike gave me the go ahead to say the next quote so I am going to give a quote. In the event that we were wrong I take full credit for giving this quote. If in fact it is turned out that Rocky is not the answer, then who ever this line may end with must concede as I should have before posting this to the person who names the real movie fromm the last quote.

#1: No more jokes. It's not thier fault their yanks.
#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

Actually , to me it sounds like James Earl Jones in "Field of Dreams", but it has been many years since I've seen it, so it does have a Rocky'esqe feel to it.
-Jon

Rocky is correct! ...and it's not the ice arena scene. It's the scene in Rocky's apartment the night before the fight. He's laying there with Adrian and starts to talk about how he doesn't care of if wins or not....he only wants to be standing at the end of the fight no matter what. All he cares about is that he won't get beaten down....incredible writing that still has not been matched in any sports movie.

Personally, I think Rocky is the ultimate movie when it comes to using a metaphor...it's not about boxing at all. The boxing match sybolizes his entire life...he's going to make it even if he loses. All he has to do is take the punches of life and keep standing..

Mike is next..

What Chris said:

#1: No more jokes. It's not thier fault their yanks.
#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

This might help by adding context.
I love the irony of this quote.
The quote is said to admonish #2 for teasing the main character that all yankees are cowboys and gangsters. Yet by chastising #2 in front of the main character he has given the main character a backhanded insult far worse.

Here is more on the discussion of the last quote. Rocky is an excellent movie. I agree with what you about it Christopher, but I wouldn't be so certain about crowning it the best writing or metaphore in a sports movie. I think Bull Durham and Chariots of Fire are just as excellent. In Chariots of Fire Abrahm runs for the gold because when they raise the british flag and play God Save the Queen (or was it King then?) it cannot be denied that he is a proper british subject. That race is not just a metaphor of his life but it is a race for his life. In Bull Durham Crash sums it up nicely at the end but that would be another quote for another time.

I'll have to watch Chariots of Fire again - I haven't seen it for at least 20 years!

#1: No more jokes. It's not thier fault their yanks.
#2: No it isn't sir.
#1 You should get down on your two knees every night and give thanks to God that your not a yank because if you were, Al Capone himself would be coming to you for instruction.

Is this harder than I thought or is it that the people who play this game are away? It is a movie from within the past 10 years that is set between 1935 to about 1950. It is a story about the worst kind of miserable childhood.

"Angela's ashes" maybe ?

The movie is based on a Pulitzer prize-winning novel. It was scored by John William's and nominated for best score at the acadamy awards.
Alot of great lines in it.

You got it Dimitri. Your turn!

ok here it goes

"It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant."

Stand By Me.


VERN!!!!

Shoot, I almost said Stand by Me! I love that movie!

Well, since there's no doubt in my mind, I'll go ahead and give the next one.



"Well... we could go to Taco Bell if that's more your style."

"You callin' me a Taco Bell kind of guy?"

Can I play now? Can I? Huh?....

Hit me right in the forehead with this one...I'm votin' for Coffee and Cigarettes (although I was tempted towards another off-beat flick I saw about 5 years ago but can't remember the name of - so C & C is my vote.)

Every year I try to come out of it having caught one paticularly different, original, off-beat, film that for whatever reason overtly chooses to NOT cater to the dumbing down of the masses - [examples for me have been "The Matrix", "Being John Malkovich", and "Run Lola Run" - runner up's include "Falling Down", "Unforgiven" and "Waiting for Guffman"] and yet this is one that for any number of reasons, I really enjoy-this one may have been it for that year (1 year ago or two escapes me) maybe... It is hard to call it a movie per se as it is broken up into individual scenes (almost like shorts I guess) and some of them just made me think (huh?) but it is clever, fun, amazing cast, (in fact it is a once in a lifetime cast, thoughtful, and absolutely FULL of quotable lines(in fact that is just about all it is)

Pretty sure it is Coffee and Cigarettes
-Jon

Sounds like a Tarantino movie, but I'm sure it isn't...

you beat me to it..it is Coffee and Cigarettes without a doubt i think it was the scene with iggy...

Yes, good call. Your turn!

Okay, here is a fun one...

"I was wondering if, uh, you can help settle a dispute that my crew and I seem to be having...Um, if you remember, uh, in Quasar Dilemma"..

"Excuse me for a minute, fellas."

"...Haven't even gotten to the relevant conundrum."


There are more quotable lines from the movie, but this was a pretty funny little interaction that effectively sums up the scene.
-Jon

Maybe "Galaxy Quest?"

Mike

Ouch, that was fast. Galaxay Quest it is.

Your move.
-Jon

Jonathan,

Sorry, that is one of my favorites.

A note for those who might not know it, but Tim Allen once had the #1 Movie, the #1 Book, and the #1 TV show in the country, all at the same time. Know them all? Not bad for a guy who had to come back from felony drug sales convictions.

I'll give an easy one back then.


"I once caught a fish THIS BIG."

"I once caught a fish T H I S B I G."

(has aided hand motions describing the fishs' size) I hope that this helps.


Mike

Shucks... Big Fish?

a wild guess :-)

charlie and the chocolate factory (not seen the film yet :-))

Ah, got you so far! Ok, I don't like the real long ones, so here's another clue.

"It's Wednesday, and everybody works on Wednesday!"


Mike

It's killing me... it's the president (or candidate?)... he's at a defense contactor and he is using his own arms to control two giant (50 ft.) robot arms... he says "I once caught a fish this big" and holds his arms out, and the robot arms motion a 120 ft fish... it was part of a montage of things he was doing... I loved the movie... and it won't come an further from the back of my brain... eeeeek.

Primary Colors?

How about "Dave."

Your previous post was on the right track! Sooooooo close! This post is way off.


Lets see, another hint. I may be paraphrasing somewhat here.

He: "When did you know?'
She:"When you looked at my legs, he hadn't noticed them in years"



This should do it, but if not I'll post another pretty Quick.
