Let's get quizzical, quizzical!
 

So...ok, I walk around a lot of the time remembering movie lines and saying them if they fit into the conversation or whatever. So, I thought I'd start a movie quote thread. Seems like everyone is pretty good with the music trivia one, so we'll work it like that one. Person that guesses it right gets to go next.


Movie line:
"We've become a race of Peeping Toms. What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. Yes sir. How's that for a bit of homespun philosophy?"

Anyone know the movie?

I do a lot of the quoting movie lines. (Comes from working at a Blockbuster for over 6 years.) But your quote is one with which I am unfamiliar.

I don't know it, either.

Now, if it was from any Python movie...

I think I've heard it before...

Python movies rock...but the only lines I can remember from them are dead give-a-ways!

I don't know how long to give it...before I should give clues, hints, or start over with another one. But, it's an older Hitchcock movie.

Wasn't there a movie called Apartment Window, where the main guy is always watching stuff and sees a murder through a window? I bet it's that.

Rear Window, with James Stewart. And yes, that's it.


Here's one:

Caine Mutiny. :cool:


"I got some bad ideas in my head"

Taxi Driver.


"Pathetic earthlings. You hurl your bodies into the void without the slightest inkling of who or what is out there. If you had the slightest idea as to the true nature of the universe, you would have hidden from it in terror."

just a quick question about this thread...
if quizzes are quizzical.. what are tests?

You guessed it, they're like exams where you turn your head to the right and cough!

I don't know which movie it comes from; but, it sounds like something "Q" would say. Is that getting close?

Hmm, yes, it does sound like Q, but isn't it supposed to be a movie quote?

Event Horizon?

I know this one! It was on terrestrial TV here the other day - I was too young to see it at the cinema & had no idea how many UK stars were in it!

Flash Gordon

"Can I get any of you cunts a drink?"

Flesh Gordon?

I cheated and looked it up, but now that NoBoxes mentioned Q, I'm pretty sure Q did say something like that. Perhaps as an homage to Ming? But I couldn't find anything closer than

Sorry, I jumped the gun with my quotation (I saw it so recently I could still hear it in my head).

So I submit to you again my quote for the guessing:

"Can I get any of you cunts a drink?"

Scarface at the bar?

Shawn Of The Dead

Yes indeed :)

Ok--well, it's time to put in another quote, right?

And here I was thinking it was Deadwood... :D

I'd have guessed Deadwood too.....


C'mon, next please.....

guess i'm jumping the gun in subitting this but here goes:

actor #1 "I don't wanna crash twice in one day!"

actor #2 "don't worry - I crash better than anyone I know"

That would be "Air America".

Since plthijinx "jumped the gun", does that mean I get two quotes?

First Quote -
Tonight, we have a chance to say, 'Yeah, you're right. We're too extreme. We're too wild. We're too out of control. We're too full of our own shit.' Or we have a chance to say, 'Hey, fuck you, you're wrong! Fuck you, we're right!' Because you have all made it to the dance. 'Cause believe me, THIS IS THE DANCE!

My second quote will await the ruling of KinkyVixen, as this is KV's thread.

yeah, Air America, funny thing is that i can actually say that i crash better than anyone i know! :eek:

dats wrastlin! beyond the mat.

k try this one:

"ohhh ohhh ohhh you're not recording this are you?"
"no, never, never."

I forgot about this thread and then I was on vacation. I'm an easy going gal CG, go for it...
I'm sure you guys can work it out and be adults right? But if I need to step in and beat some ass...I'm all over it. :)

I don't know the answer to CG's, but Plt's is Fletch.

Plthijinx is right. "Beyond The Mat".
Paul Heyman is "The Mad Scientist" of wrestling.

Your turn, Elspode.

Man, I know it aint my turn, but I'm NEVER gonna get any of these, so, for bonus points...

"Liverpool can be a lonely place on a saturday night... and it's only thursd'y mornin'!"

"I'm not dead yet!"

"Never tell me the odds."

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. ?

The Cooler?

Yep. Just before Han Solo flies into the asteroid field.

Yay! I got it right!


"Negative, ghost rider."

Top Gun

Correct! Now you get to give us a quote. ;)

Sorry it took so long to post one.

"Have you ever noticed that when you kick your girlfriend in the cunt she calls the cops?"

Sorry to do this again, but I feel I must, just as much to keep the quote where I can find it as anything else.

"I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest."

Willie Wonka?

Man, you're good.

I just saw that guy in a different movie recently - he was exactly the same.

An easy one:

"I think you ought to know what are chances are. The life of everyone on board depends on one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner"

Airplane!!

Ding ding ding! Correct!

"It's important to have a job that makes a difference, boys, that's why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination."

Sounds like something someone in Real Genius would say.

No.

Clerks.
The girl who said it is Kevin Smith's sister.


Anyone have a guess for my quote that no-one answered?

Yeah, clerks

Repo Man?
