Criterion DVD Quote Game

[jorencain]

Spinal Tap.

Someone else, go for it....

[javelin]

Here's an easy one, and slightly paraphrased at that:

"Ok, hold up: there are two hotdogs - with chili - somewhere in my pantsuit."

[Poncho Punch]

George Washington


Someone else can pick the next one.

[Brian Oblivious]

"I don't care if it's a lie, as long as it's entertaining!"

How did I end up typing care twice?

[King of Kong]

"I don't care care if it's a lie, as long as it's entertaining!"

Rashomon.

Mine,

- "Listen, Callahan!"
- "Calloway. I'm English, not Irish."

[J M Powell]

- "Listen, Callahan!"
- "Calloway. I'm English, not Irish."

The Third Man.

Mine:
"We both like Italian furniture!"

[kieslowski]

"We both like Italian furniture!"

Dead Ringers

How about:
"Sorry, I'm late."
"That's okay, time doesn't exist."

[vertovfan]

From Slackers.

How about:
"You smell bad. Have you given up bathing, or are you starting to rot?"

[zedz]

Isn't this yet another Fanny and Alexander?

Last time I tried this everything ground to a halt, but here goes:

"I'm not!"

[Narshty]

M or Life of Brian?

[zedz]

It's probably in about half the films in the collection, but I was thinking Life of Brian, so you win today's mystery prize (the honour of choosing the next quotation)

[King of Kong]

Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that after a month you lose your turn.

"My dear girl, you can not keep bumping your head against reality and saying it is not there."

Spellbound.

Me:

"Man was created by Nature in order to explore it. As he approaches Truth he is fated to Knowledge. All the rest is bullshit."

[King of Kong]

That would be Solaris.

Looks like its just you and me, kiddo:
"The theater's too deep for me. I prefer bicycling."

Ha!

Grand Illusion.

Me:

"Come over here Maria. Look at yourself in the mirror. You are beautiful... but you have changed. These days you cast rapid, calculating, sidelong glances. You're gaze used to be direct, open, and without any disguise. Your mouth is an expression of discontent and hunger. It used only to be soft. Your complexion has become pallid, you use make-up. Your fine, broad forehead now has four creases above each eyebrow... And this fine contour from the ear to the chin... it's no longer quite so evident. That's where complacency and indolence reside... Look here, at the bridge of the nose, why do you sneer so often, Maria? ...Beneath your eyes, those sharp, barely visible wrinkles of boredom and impatience."

A little risky, I know.

Cries and Whispers...


Axel.

[Brian Oblivious]

If swingo's not posting a new quote, I might as well (hope it's not too tough):

"I'm not old on the inside"

[swingo]

Ok here's an easy one:

"I, Can't give you anything but looooove ba-by!!!"


Axel.

Killing Of A Chinese Bookie!

I'll add my quote to the one by Brian Oblivion above:

"I've never seen anyone as drunk as you and still be able to stand up. You're fantastic!"

[Brian Oblivious]

Yeah that was probably too tough huh. I'll give a hint. It's a Japanese horror film from the 1960's.

[zedz]

"I've never seen anyone as drunk as you and still be able to stand up. You're fantastic!"

Opening Night.

Every time I try this, everything goes eerily quiet, but it's eerily quiet anyway, so here goes:

"I wish I believed in a god, so I could ask him to protect you."

[javelin]

"I wish I believed in a god, so I could ask him to protect you."

I really don't know, but with a quote like that, it has to be a Bergman film, doesn't it?

[zedz]

"I wish I believed in a god, so I could ask him to protect you."

I really don't know, but with a quote like that, it has to be a Bergman film, doesn't it?

Well, it's not Bergman, which should narrow things down considerably. You're in the right neck of the woods.

[javelin]

Is it the oft-maligned I Am Curious? After that, I'm all out of odd half-guesses.

[zedz]

Big clue: it's a woman talking to a lover.

[zedz]

"It's worse when you smile."

[cbernard]

Yojimbo
