George Washington.

Uh, this one came to mind for some reason:

"Cock broken."

"Cock broken."

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul.

To continue:

"The theatre's too deep for me...I prefer bicycling."

No one got "Excuse me, I heard singing." Is it Solaris?

Grand Illusion ... I think

No. should I give a hint?

dekadetia · #60 Post by **dekadetia** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 4:48 am

"Excuse me, I heard singing"... Wild Strawberries?

Brian Oblivious · Sat Dec 11, 2004 10:46 pm

No. The hint is: in the English-dubbed version, the quote is:

"Excuse me, I heard a noise".

I have a feeling this one of Akira's movies - right?

Poncho Punch · #63 Post by **Poncho Punch** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 2:53 am

I'm thinking it's probably one presented with an English dub. So, Hard-Boiled?

Brian Oblivious · #64 Post by **Brian Oblivious** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 7:07 am

You're right its a disc with an English dub. But you're barking up the wrong continent. Is this getting tedious? Should I just give it away? It's actually key to a very famous scene in the film (even if the quote itself is clearly not that memorable).

"Excuse me, I heard singing." - La Strada?

"Children and death are a bad combination." - Man Bites Dog?

How about: "You smell like a f***ing pizza!"

Nope. Since I am about to leave for a week of work travel, I'll give a hint: It's not a feature - you can even say obscure.

That would be Sid And Nancy!

I'm still lost on "Children and death are a bad combination."

Here is a new one until we solve above:

"The War Starts At Midnight!"

J M Powell · #68 Post by **J M Powell** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 3:19 pm

"The War Starts at Midnight": The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

I prefer not to give a new quote since there are still two quotes outstanding. (Even though I've got a real killer up my sleeve . . .)

"Excuse me, I heard a noise" - Diabolique?

chaddoli · #69 Post by **chaddoli** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 4:31 pm

"Children and death are a bad combination."

Cronenberg's CAMERA!!!!!

I'm still lost on the other one though, so I won't post a new one.

Thank you! Finally. That's been bugging me for the past 2 days. I knew I heard it somewhere...

Brian Oblivious · Mon Dec 13, 2004 10:58 pm

Last hint on "Excuse me, I heard singing"/"Excuse me, I heard a noise":

They're the first words spoken to a group of people who have just broken a long period of silence.

the dancing kid · Tue Dec 14, 2004 12:09 am

Band of Outsiders perhaps?

who is bobby dylan · Tue Dec 14, 2004 3:35 pm

the silence?

I realise it's impolite to interrupt, but we seem to have run aground on the singing, so I'll make a wild guess (Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and suggest a new one:

"They were dealing with a staunch character"

FilmFanSea · #75 Post by **FilmFanSea** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 8:53 pm

Grey Gardens

I'll defer to someone else for the next quote.
