"LOOK WHAT YOUR BROTHER DID TO THE DOOR!" from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (yes, it's spelled CHAIN SAW in the titles.)"Torture on its own ..." BLOODSUCKING FREAKS. (That movie's much on my mind lately, and I haven't even seen it in years.)
Here's another one: "Man can't outjump his own shadow." (that's from memory, it might be "outrace his own shadow.")

Gae! That's from the movie Lost In Space!Todd! Mr. Howe died on July 12, 1976, his final cinematograpy credit being Funny Lady, so the point is moot.
However, if he were still with us, he would be AMAZED that I do not HAVE a "bad side"!AND THE CURTAIN RISES...

Mr. Kinsinger, you are an incorrigible rogue. Do you care to duel? My sword is at the ready, sir!*boing!*
Oh, and your quote is from the song "The Merry Old Land of Oz," from "The Wizard of Oz."
And here's mine (I'll try to be less obscure this time):
"SPOON? You big ignoramus, that is a LADLE! You did not know that THAT is a ladle!"

Sorry Todd, my sword is the exclusive property of my wife, who prefers that she remain my exclusive dueling partner (so far she's been winning).
And I have no idea what your spoon quote is from.
You are indeed correct about The Merry Old Land Of OZ.*quick flap*
Lancelot: Is that one from Buckaroo Bonzai???

Chris, your wife is your "dueling partner"? Oh, my...I never would've guessed that she has a "sword." But, hey, I try to be open-minded about that sort of thing.a red-faced *gulp!*

MONTY PYTHON & THE MEANING OF LIFE? (A wild guess, but I'd expect such a reference from someone going by the name "shrubber" -- is your real name Roger?)NP: HOLOCAUST 2000 (Ennio Morricone, awful film but decent album)

Oooh... close. It could have been. Well done for spotting the cultural reference though. And just to prove that I'm not that shallow, my name is not Roger :-)

Not that close! Give it a good think, mate. Remember that free association works in mysterious ways (LOL). I'm still clueless about your submission BTW.

David Warner in TIME BANDITS? (After I posted LIFE OF BRIAN, I then immediately thought, "moron, it's TIME BANDITS.")I didn't expect anybody to get my quote. Hint: Toshiro Mifune said it.

Said it in what? As to the guess: I can hear David Warner saying the words! It would have sounded friggin' cool out of his mouth. But it wasn't him. Little hint: it was said in a fairly recent film, and none of the Python troope were in sight.

Once I posted that, I remembered Warner played "Evil," not "Death." Sigh. (where's my sighing icon? Neither sighing nor shrugging icons so far, how can I continue in such an environment?)It's manifest that I'm never going to get this, so here's my last suggestion: MEET JOE BLACK? (Which I never saw.)

I always let her win.

Hmm, H'ness, I've watched a lot of Toshiro Mifune movies this year based on your recommendations. The quote sounds like something he said (or would say) in Seven Samurai. (O.K., if I didn't win, I'll head towards The Challenge or Yojimbo next. Just doesn't sound like Tora Tora Tora.)If I'm right, do I win a copy of your next book?

Mom ... did you see YOJIMBO dubbed or subtitled? The lines are probably slightly different in that case. Paul Frees usually was tapped to dub Mifune, among other Japanese actors. He did a particularly good job dubbing THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD (really an underrated picture, and if you haven't seen it letterboxed, then you haven't completely seen it.)Yes, the line comes from YOJIMBO. I should point out that Mifune doesn't appear in TORA TORA TORA, although a lot of people assume that he does. That's practically the only Hollywood-produced Japanese-related thing from that period that he DOESN'T appear in, though (he's even in WINTER KILLS, for God's sake.)

I've watched all subtitled versions. I don't like dubbed movies.

My quote about the ladle involves a guy in an apron waving the ladle, and another guy holding a plate of linguini which he's mistakenly identified as spaghetti.This is a very famous film! And a classic!
Mr. Kinsinger, I had expected better from you! Stop sheathing your sword and THINK, man!

Excellent, Mr. Ruger! First prize is a complimentary sheathing from Mr. Kinsinger. You have 24 hours to claim your prize.In the words of Mr. Unger: "That's not spaghetti--it's linguini."
In the words of Mr. Madison: "Now it's GARBAGE."

Chris, that's a trick question, isn't it? That entire song was cut from the film, 1776.Shame, though, I really would like to have seen that Minuet and Govotte!

I tend to forget that the song was cut, since I purchased the restored version on LaserDisc back in 1990!!!
The restored version returns about 30 minutes of footage (including Cool Men) that Jack Warner foolishly excised from the theatrical print.

Heres another quote from an old classic movie. An easy one I think, but, keep up the quotes Guys! Who knows this may even become the longest "genuine" thread! Heres the quote:
"What does he really think she's gonna see?" (or words to that affect!)

"Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating."

By my calculations, I owe three quotes to the group, so here you go:
1. “In the immortal words of Socrates, ‘I Drank what?’”2. “It can't be done. No one's ever taken anyone out of here. Not in the whole history of... the whole history.”
3. “I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice. Now, sir, we'll talk if you like. I'll tell you right out, I'm a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.”
I don’t know if these are easy or hard. I suspect three is easy, two hard and on just so-so.

Reifinger made my jaw drop, which might not be the cautious response in this case ...It could be from any NUMBER of pictures I shouldn't cop to having seen, but here's one I HAVEN'T seen that might be the source: the cult porn favorite CAFE FLESH?
NP: A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN (why did Johnny Williams waste his time with those Spielberg/Lucas aberrations? This is clearly his milieu)
