Blackbead Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Now that's one that escapes me . . . Is it from "Shaun of the Dead"?

Raphael Misson Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Now that's one that escapes me . . . Is it from "Shaun of the Dead"? No, but that's a good guess. Definitely in the right direction. It's a movie from the 80s, featuring several TV actors. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Duchess Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 My thought was one of the Evil Dead movies, but I know that isn't correct. It just has that feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Is it a comedy? I'm still at a loss but I'd have another guess if it was a comedy.

Raphael Misson Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Is it a comedy? I'm still at a loss but I'd have another guess if it was a comedy. It is an alleged comedy/horror movie in the vein of the ED movies. It features veterans of Cheers, Night Court and The Greatest American Zero.

Raphael Misson Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ok, there seem to be no takers. That one is from the movie House (1986) starring William Katt, George Wendt and Richard Moll. My friend and I thought that line was really funny. How about this one? "We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin." "Well I got the sh!t kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!" (Oh, speaking of WI, all you Wisconsin fans should check out the MSTK3 version of the movie Giant Spider Invasion. Packers!) “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Commodore Swab Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Sounds like "Stripes" is my first guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I concur; it's "Stripes." "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Swab Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sorry for the delay in posting another hint but here goes . . . "Voila In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance a vendetta held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you . . ." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I only saw the movie a couple of times but with all of the "v's" I'm going to guess "V for Vendetta".

Blackbead Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Here's one from a movie that comes from a book and it is the book that seems to be a potent seer of the way our Country is moving. "You and I have a tendency towards corpulence. Corpulence makes a man reasonable, pleasant and phlegmatic. Have you noticed the nastiest of tyrants are invariably thin?"

Blackbead Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hint time! This line was given by a guy that played Captain Kidd to a guy that played Blackbeard! Ho's THAT for a piratical hint?!?

Blackbead Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Still no guesses, eh? Okay, this should make it easy - Charles Laughton, Laurence Olivier, Tony Curtis, Jean Simons, Kirk Douglas, and Peter Ustinov.
