Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	I'm not that well at quotes, it's not easy to see movies in their original versions here. I don't often visit the video-tape library (sounds a bit strange, is their really no other word for it? That's all my dictionary has), so either I see a film in it's original version in the cinema, or I get the DVD, or I'll only see it in a German dub on TV. That said, here's one, although it's not exactly a real movie quote: I cannot endure my Lady Tongue.

Timmer Standard Userer	Haven't a clue Marian. This is easy peasy though.. 'Chariots of the Gods man!....they practically own south America'

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Aw, it's not that difficult. A little hint: Originally, it's from a play. There's a great score for a likewise great film adaption, too. NP: Koyaanisqatsi (Philip Glass)

Observer Standard Userer	Here's a site with the same premise of this thread: http://members.tripod.com/~soundbites/ Fresh quote off the grill: "This is not Nam. This is bowling. There are rules."

SBD Standard Userer	Observer - I'm gonna guess The Dude (Jeff Bridges) in THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

Observer Standard Userer	SBD: You got the movie right....

Pete M Standard Userer	Timmer - it's easy only because Alien is one of my absolute favourite films. Anyways, here's my quote: "Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds."

SBD Standard Userer	Walter (John Goodman) from THE BIG LEBOWSKI.
posted 08-29-2000 07:38 AM PT (US)

Observer Standard Userer	There you go. Here's a new one: "Maybe she's using you to channel some dead lesbian lover."
posted 08-29-2000 02:22 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Next hint: It's from a VERY famous British playwright. NP: Pan Tadeusz (Wojciech Kilar)
posted 08-31-2000 08:07 AM PT (US)

MWRuger Standard Userer	Marian, well, I figured it was Shakespeare, but I don't know which play. I'll Guess: Much Ado about Nothing?
posted 08-31-2000 04:42 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Exactly. NP: The Lion in Winter (John Barry)
posted 08-31-2000 04:52 PM PT (US)

SBD Standard Userer	A grat thread like this is a terrible thing to waste. I'll go next: "You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how well you... handle it." NP - Dennis the Menace (Jerry whatever) **/***
posted 09-07-2000 10:05 AM PT (US)

Observer Standard Userer	"You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how well you... handle it." "The Schwartz" was a major tip-off. "Spaceballs" from Mel Brooks (By the way my quote was from "Being John Malkovich")

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Just recently got back from a month away and I see that there are now millions of these quotes. I didn't study them all, but I don't think anyone got the two I posted right at the start. Here they are again, plus a hint: "The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry..." "Why should you be afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time!" Two different films, both from the horror genre, and both starring Vincent Price, though it wasn't Vincent who said them (though in the second case, it kind of was...Eh?)
posted 09-07-2000 12:15 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Nobody? Here's a big hint: the first one was directed by William Castle, the second by Roger Corman...
posted 09-11-2000 07:56 AM PT (US)

H Rocco Standard Userer	(cynical laughter) "He's not afraid to die! Doesn't that make ya misty? Chalk up another victory for the human spirit!"
posted 09-11-2000 11:05 AM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	OK dunderheids (I think that's how you spell it: I think at school they taught us "i before e except after dunder"): "The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry..." was the opening line to a William Castle directed Vincent Price very scary (to children) film. Elisha Cook Jr said it, very scared of course. "Why should you be afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time!" was said TO a very scared Vincent Price near the end of one of the films that Corman directed in England. Can I make it any easier for you dunderheids?
posted 09-14-2000 01:35 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Oh, COME ON NOW! "The ghosts are moving tnight, restless, hungry...", spoken by Elisha Cook Jr as Watson Pritchard in a William Castle film starring Vincent Price from the late 50s made in black and white and which was very scary and has recently been remade with Fabulous Famke Janssen in the cast with music by Don Davis but the original had music by Von Dexter and Elisha Cook said that as the opening line.
posted 09-15-2000 01:42 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Oh, COME ON NOW Part Deux! "Why should you be etc etc" was spoken to a very scared Vincent Price near the end of one of the Corman films made in England which was really brilliant I'll tell you with photography by Nicolas Roeg and a great score by the totally unknown David Lee and the film was bloody brilliant and Death said it to him. Christ on a bike, what were you people DOING with your childhood? Having sex or watching TV?
posted 09-15-2000 01:49 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	So, it seems that you all spent your childhood smoking dope, getting drunk and trying to have sex. Maybe if some of you had stayed in and watched TV, you would have been able to answer my questions. I shall give you all one last chance.

shrubber Standard Userer	Does anyone else sense a fanatic in here? Time to let off steam with a new one. Tip: the movie is fairly recent and therefore some of you may not have seen it yet. It is, however, highly recommended, not least for this: "In the words of the Virgin Mary: come again?"
posted 09-17-2000 02:33 PM PT (US)

Timmer Standard Userer	calm down Graham, there,there lookit the nice bunnies THE HAUNTED PALACE, wasn't this based on something by H.P. Lovecraft? p.s. No one answered my question... 'Chariots of the gods man!, they practically own south america!'
posted 09-17-2000 06:12 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Timmer, that's right, The Haunted Palace was based on Lovecraft's "The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward", though the film title is from a Poe poem. You were right about that, but...that's not what the quote was from. Ah well, it had only been up for seven weeks, so here are the answers: "The ghosts are moving" etc: HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. "Why should you be afraid to die" etc: MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH. Now, what could that Chariots of the Gods thing be?
posted 09-19-2000 01:01 PM PT (US)

Timmer Standard Userer	Clue # 1, The film had an ALL male cast!
posted 09-19-2000 02:40 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Don't know, Timmer, but The Longest Day, though I've never seen it, strikes me as being pretty manly. Is that the one?
posted 09-22-2000 01:59 PM PT (US)

Timmer Standard Userer	A long way off there Graham.... Clue # 2. The warmest place to hide...?
posted 09-23-2000 05:28 AM PT (US)

Timmer Standard Userer	Clue # 3. It's a remake.
posted 09-23-2000 05:30 AM PT (US)

H Rocco Standard Userer	John Carpenter's remake of ICE STATION ZEBRA, of course. Oh, wait, it was called THE THING, wasn't it. Ah well, comes out to the same thing. NP: JOHN CARPENTER'S ICE STATION ZEBRA (John Carpenter and Alan Howarth)

Chris Kinsinger Standard Userer	First of all, Graham...my apologies. I've been spending so much time at eBay that I've been neglecting my duties at this thread. I could've answered your House On Haunted Hill and The Masque Of The Red Death quotes...but I wasn't here. Although your little hissy fits were very funny. Dope and sex INDEED...I was doing BOTH as a teenager, but I STILL PAID ATTENTION TO THE MOVIES! Did anybody guess Rocco's quote from Planet Of The Apes?

Gae Standard Userer	Hi guys Im back with a nice easy one...great to see this post doing so well by the way!!! My quote is:- "It looks awfully difficult....no it isn't is it?" Catch you later folks!! Gae
posted 09-28-2000 03:18 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Chris, if you're not too occupied with eBay, let's see how you (and everyone else) get on with these: (Towards the end of opening voice-over): "In infinite variety living things appeared and changed and reached the land, leaving a record of their coming, of their struggle to survive, and of their eventual end. The record of life is written on the land, where, fifteen million years later, in the upper reaches of the Amazon, Man is still trying to read it." And, "De Sade said he wasn't mad, and I believe him. He was far worse than mad. He was possessed. Possessed by an evil spirit. A spirit which still inhabits..."(insert title of film here). I'll post hints soon if you're all struggling.

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Two different films, of course, one 50s USA, the other 60s GB.

Chris Kinsinger Standard Userer	All I have to say is... AAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAGGGHHH!!! Oh, GRAHAM! This is driving me NUTZ! I KNOW I've heard BOTH of those...but I can't figure out WHERE! I gotta sleep on this one... I'll be back!
