The Royal Tenebaums

"They used to try to find clues to all the mysteries and mistakes God had made."

That's George Washington.

zedz, I think in this case it was actually MORE polite to interrupt than to let the thread awkwardly flounder. The answer to "Excuse me, I heard singing" is Rififi. I will make the next one much easier:

"Isn't life disappointing?"

Tokyo Story? I'm sure it's Ozu.

I know this one, it's from the upcoming Criterion box set of the popular TV game show "Ozu or not Ozu?"

You're right! Amazing! And that title hasn't even been officially announced! I just hope they can obtain the rights to "Carl Dreyer's Changing Rooms" (that's the one where they go round to people's homes, strip out all the furniture and paint everything white).

Here's a real quote, and an easy one (though I can't vouch for the spelling):
"l'oiseau chant avec ses doigts"

Quai des Orfevres? I don't know no quotes.

Here is one:

"She might never feel at home in Milan, where you have to plan a month in advance to eat macaroni"

Lemdog · #86 Post by **Lemdog** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:06 am

"She might never feel at home in Milan, where you have to plan a month in advance to eat macaroni"

The Leopard

Actually, nobody got "L'oiseau chante avec ses doigts" which is from Orpheus.

Ah! That had been bugging me. Was it from the car radio?

Slacker.

And I can't think of a quote.

Yup.

J M Powell · #91 Post by **J M Powell** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 4:35 pm

Okay, since McGeeIng left a blank, I'll jump in with a really tough quote:

"The fact is, the Earth is falling into a well."

Michael · #92 Post by **Michael** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 5:14 pm

It's better to destroy than create what's unnecessary.

Isn't that from 8 1/2?

J M Powell · #93 Post by **J M Powell** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:03 pm

Dunno about 8 1/2; I'd just assumed McGeeIng was correct with Slacker. If it is 8 1/2, then Michael, please feel free to post a different quote, especially since mine seems to have killed the thread. (I feel like David Warner in Straw Dogs . . . I meant only to touch the thread gently!)

Meanwhile, here's two hints on "The fact is, the Earth is falling into a well": it's an English-language film, and the actor who speaks the line is now dead, and so is the film's director.

Narshty · #94 Post by **Narshty** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:37 pm

For All Mankind?

Nope.

Lemdog · #96 Post by **Lemdog** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 9:31 pm

It was 8 1/2 .... I wondered if anyone would catch that

Michael · #97 Post by **Michael** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:50 pm

You can tan while you make love. When you're through you've got a brown ass.

Lino · #98 Post by **Lino** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 9:10 am

(I don't know the film that quote belongs to, but I'm tempted to buy it just to hear someone say that line...!

BTW, best quote EVER on this thread!)

Contempt

"I detest this place like a sickness."

Michael · #100 Post by **Michael** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:24 pm

No...it's not Contempt. Should I give a hint?
