Here's a pair of clues : It's written in a foreign language, & it's from a film made pre-1935.

Bride of Frankenstein was correct, although I'm a little disappointed that no-ones guessed the bowl of soup one yet. Last clues :
It's from a silent film made in the mid 1920's, & it's written, in a foreign language, on a card on a dead body.

Pi!

Great, finally some quotes I know - thanks, Observer!

Clue?, Cilla Black had a hit with the theme song (not her version used in the film).....I think that's probably made it too easy?!!

From Dusk Till Dawn.

I'll give you just a couple more days for the Bowl of Soup one, but I'm going to be very disappointed if no-one gets it.

In the unlikely event of the former, here are some hints:

1) One of the persons involved with the quote was a "wild and crazy guy".

SBD,

I am thinking it is Dan Akroyd in Gross Point Blank, but I can't think of what movie he played a time traveller in.

2) Danny McTeague (Michael J. Fox) in GREEDY.

Easy one now because its late and I can't think of anything more difficult.

Here's my quote:

Man #1: "You know, sometimes I'm reminded of what my father used to say to me."

Man #2: "What did your father used to say to you?"

(a brief pause)

Marty Feldman (as Igor) to Gene Wilder (Dr. Frankenstein) in Young Frankenstein.

Audacity - you can play if you know the answers.

Any thoughts yet on the other one I set?

"Did She Say There's a Rat?"

(help - it's followed by these two lines)

"No, she said there's NO rat."
"That's not what she said."

There is a fairly big clue I could give you, but I'll just mention that this IS on a moviemusic message board as a subtle clue...

Unless everyone's just ignoring ME now....

AAARRRRRGGHHH!

That "Killed For A Bowl Of Soup" line has been HAUNTING me!!!

I KNEW that I had seen that movie, but for the life of me, I could not recall it!

I saw Battleship Potemkin FIVE TIMES...but that was 30 years ago...

I really appreciate you giving the answer. Now I can get some sleep.

Oh well, I'll just repeat what I said earlier (and hope I've got it word perfect?)

What film....'It's been dead a long time'

Any zombie or mummy horror movie.

Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin is a timelessly powerful work of art.

It's the very first silent film I ever saw.

I was 17 years old, attending art school, and I was in love with a brand-new film called Planet Of The Apes. The LAST thing that interested me was watching a dusty old silent picture in black & white. I reluctantly marched into the campus theatre, expecting to be bored to sleep.

I was absolutely RIVETED!

From the start, the picture grabbed me. Eisenstein's use of his camera, and even more, his editing, was not only ahead of its time, it was more exciting than most of the new films I was watching! And the same holds true today. The Odessa Steps sequence is like a living nightmare! I revisited the theatre to watch it four more times! Yeah, it's been 30 years since I saw Potemkin, but even so, I've never seen anything like it since.
