Is it My Own Private Idaho?

Michael · #102 Post by **Michael** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:34 pm

Sorry.. no it isn't Idaho.

It's from Belgium. In it, there is a dreary bar decorated with sparkly Christmas tinsels.

Oh! Man Bites Dog!

Yes!

Happy Holidays!

How about this one:

I hate LA. All they do is snort coke and talk.

sorry about my last mistake, but here we go

I just watched Brakhage's the Stars are Beautiful last night for the first time and realized I recognized this quote. Hope that's not cheating...

Here's one:

"Heroes! What do they know about a day's work?"

Down By Law and... Armageddon? Bruce Willis is the only person I can picture actaully saying that.

I'll just do a gimme since I've been dying to use this:

"If there's one thing I like more than being mean... it's being sneaky!"

Notorious

Someone please post a quote for me!

You're the most perfect person I've ever met.

3 Women.

"Is she standing in a hole?"

Is it Onibaba?

"Is she standing in a hole?"

No, that's W.C. Fields, commenting on the short actress he has been charged to direct in the film-within-a-film in The Bank Dick.

Here's one:
"Sausages! ... Europeans eat sausages wherever they go."

Narshty · #117 Post by **Narshty** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 2:11 pm

Black Narcissus. (That took me about five solid minutes of mental searching.)

"Would I come hunting for you with me fingers?"

"Would I come hunting for you with me fingers?"

The Long Good Friday. Ugh. Why'd you have to make me think of that?

Okay, this should be easy, but it's one of my favorite exchanges in a marvelous script:

"People around here are very poor, I suppose."
"Not poor. They just haven't got money."
"It's the same thing."
"Oh no, it's something quite different."

"Not poor. They just haven't got money."
"It's the same thing."
"Oh no, it's something quite different."

Just a guess - High and Low?

Nah - it's I Know Where I'm Going! (not my exclamation mark)

"I'm filthy, period."

Written on the Wind

"I'm feeling s-o-o-o badly!"

And the answer to my previous, outstanding quote is Captain Planet/Short Cuts.

lord_clyde · #123 Post by **lord_clyde** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 11:29 pm

I have no idea! But then again I've only seen about fifty of the movies in the collection. Here's an easy one while you guys think about that last one:

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."

Doctor Sunshine · Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:41 am

Doubly horrible, someone'd already used your quote if that's Tokyo Story again. I don't know if I should solve my own quote or provide a clue. It's a short film and, if not the oldest, among the oldest in the collection. Here it is again:

"I'm feeling s-o-o-o badly!"

I have been shamed!

no idea where your quote is from... sounds like a poor translation though.
