Raphael Misson Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Ah, Mancini. I will add it to my list. "Damn! Come back from the grave and ran out of ammunition!" “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” –Carlos Casteneda "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." — Voltaire
Blackbead Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Now that's one that escapes me . . . Is it from "Shaun of the Dead"? "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."
Raphael Misson Posted August 5, 2009 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. The amount of work is the same.” –Carlos Casteneda "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." — Voltaire
Duchess Posted August 5, 2009 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.
Blackbead Posted August 6, 2009 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. "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."
Raphael Misson Posted August 6, 2009 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 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. The amount of work is the same.” –Carlos Casteneda "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." — Voltaire
Blackbead Posted August 7, 2009 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."
Raphael Misson Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Yes it is. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” –Carlos Casteneda "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." — Voltaire
Commodore Swab Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Oh goody, I have the next movie picked out but will wait to check the wording so im sure to get it right and will post tomorrow morning
Commodore Swab Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 "Hard to believe, isn't it, that beneath this wrinkled well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for . . ." There if you don't get this Ill post another quote tomorrow that will give it away if you have ever seen the movie. This one is dedicated to the Viceroy
Commodore Swab Posted August 18, 2009 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 . . ."
Blackbead Posted August 18, 2009 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". "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."
Commodore Swab Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Thats the one, tis intestering the message the movie puts across as well as how close it fits to where our society is going today.
Blackbead Posted August 19, 2009 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?" "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."
Blackbead Posted August 20, 2009 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?!? "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."
Blackbead Posted August 21, 2009 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. "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."
Pew Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 The Black pirate? , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."
Capn Bob Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 "No...*I'm* Spartacus!" The first Spartacus movie...I *knew* I had seen the quote someplace... The Black pirate? Damn, thats sharp!
Blackbead Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Well done, Cap'n Bob! I believe that means YOU are up . . . "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."
Capn Bob Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 And since I *am* up...and have been since 6.15 am this morning...here is my ever so glorious quote...guess it if ye dare! "...That's so. Even a tramp like me, no matter what happens, I know there's always a brother who won't refuse me a bowl of soup." Damn, thats sharp!
Raphael Misson Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 The Good the Bad and the Ugly. I love Tuco. One of the great pirate characters of all time. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” –Carlos Casteneda "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." — Voltaire
Capn Bob Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Well, that didn't take long, did it? Well, then...yer up! The Good the Bad and the Ugly. I love Tuco. One of the great pirate characters of all time. Damn, thats sharp!
Blackbead Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah, Cap'n Bob, you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to get ahead of these seadogs! They know their flicks. "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."
