Hmm. some people of course use coffee to perform the reverse effect...
OK its my turn to dredge up some quote from another movie.
"Screws fall out all of the time. The world's an imperfect place"
The Breakfast Club, line spoken by Bender.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
i have this on dvd and have forgotten to watch it... guess what's going on in a couple of days!!! :lol:
but what is the punchline to the joke as he falls through the roof we never get to hear it. :lol:
wake up mcl!!!!!! :lol: if nothing today bill then go ahead as i know it's right.
Ok, thanks Matt, I'll go ahead! Here's a really easy one:
Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
Catch 22
Spot on, Tony, it's all yours...
Do not go gentle into that good night.

I want to be alone.
woodstock the movie! :lol:
no lol
Yep sorry for the delay, I confirm it was Breakfast club and in the circumstances, you were quite OK to go ahead without me.
Anyway The current one (I want to be alone) I'm sure appears in a number of different films. Its such a short and common phrase.
I think it appears in "Stand By me" (River Phoenix), and it also appears in ET (one of the boys). Its said (I think) by the Bob Balaban character in "Close Encounters of the third Kind", by Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel, and I seem to recall it being uttered during the big row in Brokeback Mountain.
Try also John Hurt in "Elephant Man" (The upstairs room where he breaks down), and then there is the really obscure "Forbidden Zone" from 1980, where the line is spoken by the old Pa Hercules.
Oh and last year's movie "The Perfect Man" had it in too, the little girl says it to her mother at one point, to which the mother replies "nobody wants to be alone". Nice to see Heather Locklear still doing the rounds after all these years.
I am reliably assured by a mate of mine who is into horror movies, that the folowing appears in the movie "Amityville 2" ..:
'I just don't want to talk to anyone.
This is my room. I want to be alone.'
... which means thats another one I didn't know about.
Ooops, shall I stop now?
Throw enough films into the mix and one of them is bound to hit the target!
Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel, 1932 was the answer.
Over to you then MCL
good fun googling or do you have an encyclopedia knowledge of film scripts!!! just don't keep us all waiting again or you're in for it!!! :lol: :lol:

good fun googling or do you have an encyclopedia knowledge of film scripts!!! just don't keep us all waiting again or you're in for it!!! :lol: :lol:
Doesn't work. Some of them pop up but not all of them.
I just go to the cinema at least once a week, see a lot of movies and have a good memory for their contents.
Right lets set the next one...
"Readers Digest is considering publishing two of my jokes"
you just aren't trying hard enough!!! google is your friend... i just like to not cheat immediately.
how about "the ten commandments" can just see moses saying that one ! :lol:
Good Morning, Vietnam.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
Yep its Good Morning Vietnam.
Thanks, Martyn!
Ok, here's the next one:
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
Oh I would have said "The Birdcage" if I didn't know better but you have only gone and picked one of my all time favourite movies, by probably my most favoured story writer of all time.
To make it fair I'm gonna wait another 24 hours before I post the answer. Someone else deserves a crack at it.
hmm cash in a cache. Superb film. I wont answer though as I canot guarnantee access later.
well i'll admit that i cheated as no one else seemed willing to go for it!!!
the shawshank redemption. very good film.
That's the one, Matt, over to you...
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
cheers. ok shouldn't be too hard.....
It's not coming off, without tearing his face off with it.
that sounds like one of the Alien movies, but which one is it......
I'm gonna guess it probably the first one.
Yep, that's my final answer. Alien.
Nasty vicious little thing.
Modelled on a kind of sea creature I believe. I remember David Attenborough saying so when he showed the sea creature in one of his big documentary series. The actual thing is about the size of a pin or something but its life cycles mirrors that of the alien.
God my head is so full of useless trivia.
see told you it was easy.
loved the film just wished they hadn't screwed the rest of the series up. they had some great graphic novels they could have used for the story but they went off on a different route.....
all yours.
"Touch me and you'll never use that hand again"
What film please? And what character?
The Matrix
Trinity
Any chance of a yay or may before xmas?
go ahead mongoose, i gooogled it so i know it's right.
we await the next offering....
You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.
To have and have not
Ah Lauren Bacall
Sorry Tony, I don't always get the chance to come on here every day. Usually but not guaranteed.
But you are wrong. Its NOT The Matrix.
I thought we were supposed to wait for confirmation from the setter before moving on? Even if it takes a day or two.
I'm intrigued as to how you googled for it, Matt, since when you stick it all in Google, it comes up with nothing.
my error sorry matey nothing ment by it, just tried googling again and didn't come this time so looks like i ballsed up what's new there!!!?
so yours still stnads then
"Touch me and you'll never use that hand again"
thing is i have heard that one but i'm b$$$red if i can think where from.
:lol:
Hmm, Reble was right on mine.
Touch me and you'll never use that hand again?
Pirates of the Caribean the Black Pearl
Nope.
Pretty sure its not in that.
Touch me etc etc
Alien Ressurection?
Oh I know Matrix Reloaded
Correct!Originally posted by Rebble@Oct 28 2006, 07:51 PM
Oh I know Matrix Reloaded
Sorry Tony, I had to have the right name, even though you were so close. However if I had told you you were so close it would have given the game away.
So Rebble, its your turn.
Thought it was matrix film just guessed the wrong one
Hummmm Oh I know just to make it interesting
"Badges? Badges we don't need no stinking badges" is often quoted as being from a film.
For one point name the film everyone thinks it is quoted from.
For extra style points give the correct quote,
And to round it off which film was "Badges? Badges we don't need no stinking badges" really to be found.
Confusing I know but a free can of SPAMŽ to the lucky winner
ok the lure of spam called...
the actual original quote should be
Badges!? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges
from the treasure of the sierra madre
however that quote is from
blazing saddles.
do you want my address to arrange delivery of that wonderfull mass produced pig product. :lol:
Mmmmmmm Spammmmmm
On toast. with pickle. Oh and who could forget spam fritters? Cholesterol-on-a-plate but gorgeous nonetheless
Useless bit of info here: It is often quoted that SPAM stands for "Spiced Pork and Ham", and other similar acronym roots. In fact, it is whats called a backronym, whereby the original was simply a made-up word, and only afterwards have people tried to attach retrospective meanings to it. SPAM doesn't actually stand for anything. Tastes nice though!
SPAM = SPiced hAM according to the official SPAM website.
It was chosen as a result of a competition where one of the owners of Hormel Foods relatives won the competition (fix!
Anyway Nobby I would post you your SPAM but I ate it
Anyhow on with the game very well done Mr. Nobbs lets have another but make it criptic and even more fiendish h34r:
terrible offer a prize then eat it all yourself!!!!
ok don't know about cryptic but try this:
" now you've done it!"
"done what?"
"You tore off one of my chests!"

OK here is the next one.
"You promised me, Dan, you promised you would help me out"
"Don't you think I wanna help you more than i already have, but the point is you've made it impossible!?"
What is Dan's full name and what is the movie?
