Capt. Morgan Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Adaption, with Nic Cage? Here's mine... "Sergeant, you can't control who gets hit or who doesn't. Who falls out of a chopper, or why. It ain't up to you. It's just war. When I get home and people ask me,'Hey, why do you do it, man? Why? You some kind of war junkie?' I won't say a word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you. And that's it. That's all it is." Touche' Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend Pyrates of the Coast "All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." "Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."
Mission Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Black Hawk Down I knew a guy who was over there when that happened. He said that movie was a pretty good depiction of what was going on at the time. Ok, pick the right one... "Perhaps the gigawatt discharge coupled with the temporal displacement field generated by the time vehicle caused a disruption of my own brain waves, resulting in a condition of momentary amnesia." 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."
Capt. Morgan Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Uh, Part 2? The only one I haven't seen a ba-zillion times... (Black Hawk Down was an EXCELLENT depiction of combat in general) Here's mine... "Whhooooaaaa!! In Latin, Jehovah begins with an 'I'...!" Touche' Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend Pyrates of the Coast "All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." "Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."
Red-Handed Jill Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Okay, this one should be easy: "Bloodshed... anguish... breakfast... We're a family again."
Mission Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Uh, Part 2? The only one I haven't seen a ba-zillion times... Nope, part III. It's in the letter that Marty reads from doc (with Doc voicing-over.) Part II...well, it sort of sucked, didn't it? Christine has left us quoteless... Here's a goofy one I've been waiting to spring on ya's (I may have butchered the least interesting line...it's been a long time since I've seen it): "There can't be a race...if there isn't a river!" "What are you saying, Major?" "We're gonna blow...the mother...up!" Hint: You won't find this quote on-line (Well, I didn't, anyway). The movie was released in 1984 and features one of my favorite under-rated actors. 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."
Mission Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Looks like everyone is. Sorry, I'll pick a searchable quote. The one was from Up the Creek. Tim Matheson is one of my favorite underrated actors (he played Otter in Animal House. Try this one. Diego should know this... "What was I supposed to do? Call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others? " 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."
Fancy Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 I leave it for Diego :) and see if we can get this one too: "I'm sorry, I don't speak English." "You are speaking English right now." "No, I only know how to say, "I don't speak English" in English." Fancy
Duchess Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I leave it for Diego :)and see if we can get this one too: "I'm sorry, I don't speak English." "You are speaking English right now." "No, I only know how to say, "I don't speak English" in English." Well, that one was Sahara. A movie that isn't really like the book, but is so true to the characters I was able to predict the lines. Duchess
Fancy Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 yep, that's it. I've not read the book. Fancy
Fancy Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 another one that's probably easy to guess.. "I find you very attractive. Your assertiveness tells me that you feel the same way about me. But ritual remains that we must do a series of platonic actions before we can have intercourse. But all I really want to do is have sex with you as soon as possible." Fancy
Capt. Morgan Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 A Beautiful Mind... great flick! Russell Crowe rocks! And mine... "Be careful what you shoot at... some things here do not react well to bullets!" Touche' Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend Pyrates of the Coast "All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." "Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 The Hunt for Red October, another excellent movie! I can hear Ramius saying it now! LOL! Fancy
Rogue Mermaid Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Can I play? I have a goofy one: "Where's the truck?" "Where's Hillary?" "I'm hungry." Here's another quote from the same movie: "I know a little German...he's sitting over there"
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 "I feel the need..." "the need for speed!" Fancy
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 Oops, RM, I was typing whist ye were posting I reckon.. ok... two to guess at! btw, RM, I don't know yours. Fancy
Red-Handed Jill Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Hey - two movies with similar names. (Unless I'm guessing wrong at yours, Rogue.) Rogue, I think yours is from Top Secret. The second line sounds familiar. Fancy - Top Gun.
Red-Handed Jill Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Whups - need to submit a quote: "It's a crowd-tickler--mistaken identities, a shipwreck, a pirate king, a bit with a dog, and love triumphant."
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 Rogue, how neat that we both posted a "top" movie LOL! Jill... I don't know. Fancy
The Doctor Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I'm stumped by Jill's as well. In the meantime: "There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours." Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 The Princess Bride... when Westley was lying on the bed, unable to move and Buttercup was about to plunge a knife into her chest. Fancy
Fancy Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 "I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so." Fancy
Mission Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Jill's quote is from Shakespeare in Love. (Not to be confused with George Lucas in Love.) My quote that you have all neatly sidestepped was from The Sting, one of the three best movies ever made IMHO. (Where's Diego lately? He might have known that one.) And Top Secret is a hilarious movie! Val Kilmer has never been dumber. "I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a girl he met in a restaurant, who then turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to a childhood lover who she's last seen on a deserted island, and who turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French Underground." "I know. It, it all sounds like some bad movie." (Yes, it does. I loved Top Secret. Another movie with it's roots firmly established in WB cartoons.) 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."
