Topic: MOVIE QUOTE QUIZ

My mate and I used to play this "movie quote
quiz" which was quite fun, so I thought I'd see if any of you guys were willing to play it. Now, the quote doesn't have to be a dead give away line like "Quite frankly my dear, I dont give a damn" but also it mustn't be too obscure. I suppose this is difficult as what may be memorable to one person may be obscure to others I know. Anyway, first of all post only the quote until it is guessed..after that clues can be given. Anyone up for it? Maybe we can make this a regular post? Anyway, here's a nice easy one. First of all just the quote ( without clues) and I've got confidence you guys will get this one immediately. Oh, maybe its best to just have one quote at a time until it is guessed by someone. O.K. heres a nice easy one to get us going ( or not as the case might be)
"He always did like that Mausoleum....put him in it!
Good luck! Oh, also, the answer should include the name of the actor/character and the movie its from...date of movie is optional! Gae

We'll I dont know about anyone else but I'm stumped on both of those quotes already. Any chance of a clue? e.g. year/genre of film or actor in the movie....one clue at a time! Keep em coming! Gae P.S. Cant wait for tommorow here in the U.K....Jaws, Sleepy Hollow and Goldfinger all released on DVD...YIPPEE!!!

Can't give you the actor or year. It would give it away. If I told you the composer, that would too. First clue, this line was in the promo shown on TV before the film came out. When I saw this promo in St. Louis that year, I started laughing. Pretty bad. Better clue, lightning and thundering in the promo and muscles ripping as he says it. Best, John.

Clue no. 3, he is holding a microphone while saying it and then after he finishes it he hits the guy standing next to him in the mouth with it. There you go. John.

Still can't give you his name, composer or year yet. Too easy. If you don't get it this time, I will have to give it away though. I can't believe you guys don't know this one. Take it easy. JW.

While you folks are trying to figure that one out, here is a much easier one from the early '70s:
first actor says "Who the hell are you?"second actor says his name
first actor says "I thought you was dead."
second actor says "Not hardly."
first actor dies. Best, John.

Oh, how could I have been so stupid? That's ol' Sly as JOHN RAMBO, growling at big-jawed bad guy Charles Napier in RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II.Does this mean I get to post the next quote? If so, here it is, delivered by a respected actor (I know he has some fans on this board) at a somewhat inappropriate time:
"Mm, excuse me. Delicious. They have a wonderful way of baking cheese on it so that it gets very crispy."
He is, of course, referring to a plate of chicken.

My reference is a bit obscure, so I will say this: Chris' post is significant, the main character is of that profession. Another clue: the director used this as a way to get out of a creative rut before moving on to a major studio film.Another quote to help, (I just bet I picked the most vauge quote in the movie, my fault):
"The federal government announced today that in an effort to eradicate the national debt, it will be selling the state of Rhode Island to a group of private investors, for a reported $18 billion. The investors plan to enclose the entire state with an all-weather roof, and turn it into the world's largest shopping mall. When asked for comment, a White House spokesperson would only say, 'Well, at least we didn't sell it to the f----- Japanese.'"Hope this helps.

Out of 1000's of movies I've seen over the years, somehow you Guys manage to find films that I've never seen (Big Jake included)
Keep 'em coming though, this could become a regular post. I'm gonna give you guys a tough one now!! Its not so much a quote as a little comic moment from a movie...You American guys may struggle with this one (there's a bit of a clue)
Deranged female patient(running amok in the ward) : you men are all the same, you're only after one thing!!
Doctor (calmly) you know thats not true Mrs. Jones....I only want to get you into bed!!

Hm. I may be completely wrong, but could that be from North by Northwest, MW? I don't know where it would fit in though, but have a feeling that it's from a Hitchcock movie.

Mr. Ruger, is that from Witness for the Prosecution (1950-something)? It's been a few years since I saw it, and I only saw bits and pieces, but that sticks out in my head.I'm adding two:
QUOTE #1:
"Listen, zipper-puss, one day they're going to find your hair ribbon and an axe someplace. Nothing Else."QUOTE #2:
ART FAN: "Your work is excellent, sir, but you must use color! Color is so much more... expressive."
ARTIST: "Do you know what Michaelangelo said to the Pope when he complimented him on the Sistince Chapel ceiling? He said 'It was all in the drawing; the rest you coulda got by ****ing on it.'"James

Good one Joan!! Give me some time to come up with my own sexist comment!!
Well done Graham, its from "Carry on again, Doctor" when the innocent Charles Hawtrey puts his foot in it!! A typical "Carry on" double-entendre/innuendo!
Here's an easy one for you Classic film buffs....the very last line in the movie..
"Well...nobody's perfect!!"

Okay, I must've gone way too obscure with my quote, but I'll add one more line, spoken by the same character a few minutes later, and see if that makes it any easier. Remember, this is a science-fiction film, and (here's another hint) it was filmed in black and white."The question of death selection may be the most important decision of your life."

Gae, as you suspected, this is all getting out of hand. Let me add to the mayhem:"The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry" (first line).
and "Why are you afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time!" (near the end).

Sorry Guys, these quotes are just too obscure (or new) for me. I'm gonna get us back on the track with a nice simple one, spoken by an actress I'm in love with.... "Thinking!!...its not really your strong suit is it?" I dont care if its too easy...this is supposed to be fun not a chore!
