Blackbead Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Damn! And I JUST watched "Hatari" not too long ago! Excellent quote! I think I know the next one but I'm going to have to go home and watch it tonight.

Mission Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well, those are more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Mostly they're to keep people from posting something and then walking away without a peep or folks posting multiple quotes for guessing which just creates rampant confusion over turns. (Alas, there must be some semblance of order to make a game work.) I'd say you can give up prodding us along when it seems hopeless. About a week of trying seems pretty fair to me. I think I've seen the movie you're quoting, but the WWII films all tend to get mixed up together for me. (Especially anything with Wayne in it.) But if I had to take a W.A. guess, I'd say The Dirty Dozen. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbead Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I thought I recalled it and I went home and watched the movie again. It is definitely a great movie with some fantastic lines. I went to see "Memphis Belle" hoping that it would be as good as "TOH" but it just couldn't measure up. How about this one: First speaker: You ever think you'll live to make corporal? Second speaker: Baby, I just want to live long enough to make civilian. "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."

Mission Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 What is this? The all WWII movies, all the time version of movie quotes?

Mission Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Get one right and you can put up whatever quote you want! They're so similar that I can't keep 'em straight.

Blackbead Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 This one is a little off the wall . . . it was more of a psychological study when it was first made but then has made a comeback as a B-rated war movie because no one kept up the copyrights on it. It was made in 1945, released on Christmas Day, and has a star-studded cast, for the time, Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, Lloyd Bridges. The subject is a historical invasion but it's not one that has been featured very much in film.

Mission Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'd definitely have to look that up and that's cheating. Tonight I am planning to watch a movie called "Invasion USA"...with the help of Crow, Tom and Mike Nelson. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I.

Blackbead Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 LOL! I was sitting here thinking that sure sounded familiar when I realized who your "buddies" are! Enjoy! By the way, the movie I quoted from is centered around the Salerno invasion. If that helps.

hitman Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Oh crap I can't think of the name but isn't that the one were the reporter lands with the invasion force takes a jeep all the way into town but the general won't budge from the beach head till he has more troops.

Mission Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Not to get OT...oh, what the hell. Invasion USA was one creepy movie. Even Crow, Tom and Mike couldn't hide that fact. Plus it was the purest propaganda which makes it doubly creepy. However, the unrelated short was hilarious. It was called Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I.

Blackbead Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Okay, the flick was "A Walk in the Sun." So, to celebrate the season . . . "We who walk here, walk alone."

Blackbead Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's a scary movie that was remade a few years ago. Julie Harris played the main character.

Blackbead Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Okay, okay, it was the original "The Haunting". How about this one - "We've an old proverb in England that says, 'Those who sail without oars stay on good terms with the wind'."

Mission Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes, that's the one. It's always good to see Zooey Deschanel in a quirky role. (Not that she really plays anything in any other kind of role.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.
