by britgirl on October 9, 2006

Want more? Here it is…

Calling All Movie Buffs was such a success and you made such great contributions that I’ve compiled a list of YOUR favourite film/movie quotes (and included a few more of my own ). So now you have to guess each other’s favourite quotes. I will highlight the ones that have gone as before, to help you spot the ones that are left. Look out for tips, hints and edits in both the post and comments. And if you want to see which bloggers provided which quotes, check out the comments in the original post. I can’t wait to answer some of these quotes…

Go for it – and have fun!

Edit!! October 13th- I’ve added some more of yours to the list! There are now85 and the list is almost full. I will add them to the list – up to 100 as Mosh suggested and highlight them when they’re gone. After that, you’ll need to keep your eyes on your comments to see who’s got what.

I am still coming up with new quotes – trying to jump sideways a little so it’s harder, but I’ll have a go at a few at the end of the list:

#84 “What? That plane? That’s a commercial airliner. It’s five miles high. They wouldn’t see nuc’ilar explosion if they were looking for one!”
- I’m pretty sure that’s Harrison Ford to Anne Heche in Six Days and Seven Nights

#85 # “Well, we’re safe for now, thank goodness we’re in a bowling alley…That is real rain out there.”
- Pleasantville, pretty sure – at first I was thinking Big Lebowski, but it didn’t rain …

#86 – “Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
- Batman (Tim Burton) – three times, once by Nicholson, once by Keaton and once by the guy who played the young Jack in the flashback.

#87 – “Don’t mess with the volcano, man! Cause I’ll go Pompeii on your butt!”
- I’m just guessing here – Joe Versus the Volcano? Tom Hanks?

HogTownHarry October 15, 2006 at 8:51 pm

d’OH!! “Go all Pompeii” …. I’m looking at my DVD shelf and I see Mystery Men sitting there – THAT’s it, Ben Stiller as Mister Furious.

HogTownHarry October 15, 2006 at 9:10 pm

Oh –

#88 “This is why only fools are heroes. You never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love or suffer the little children.”
- Willem Dafoe (defoe?) as Green Goblin in Spiderman to Spidey.

@HTH
If you’re thinking of another Carpenter movie for “I have moments” then, yep you’re right.

You got the others too. (Mister Furious was such a cool idea – very underrated film.)

And, I’d forgotten that Batman says line #86 back to the Joker in the bell tower at the end so well done on getting all three!

“We’re on a mission from God.”

“What’s up doc?”

“Diabetes?! I oughta know better than to hire anybody with a disease.”

- “Now, don’t lose your head.”
- “I’ve got my head. I’ve lost my leopard.”

@Mosh
Quickie responses, off the top of my noggin:

“We’re on a mission from God.” was used in the earlier post – Blues Brothers (Elwood Blues/Dan Ackroyd)

“What’s up doc?” apart from Bugs Bunny, it’s been used a lot – title of the Streissand film, Michael J Fox says it in at least one of the BTTF films

- “Now, don’t lose your head.”
- “I’ve got my head. I’ve lost my leopard.”
Bringing Up Baby again – Cary Grant / Kate Hepburn … love that film, waited years for a DVD of it. Intercostal Clavicle ….

“Diabetes?! I oughta know better than to hire anybody with a disease.” – drove me nuts, I knew it was Cary Grant, but I had to look it up – d’OH!! And I have the movie too … watched it again in the spring.

Mosh October 17, 2006 at 5:50 pm

I watched Bringing Up Baby again the other day. I was in fits of laughter. That and His Girl Friday and Philadelphia Story are my favorite Cary Grant movies.

Yep, I was thinking of the Streisand movie, What’s Up Doc. Have not seen it in ages, note to self, must buy on DVD.

86“Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?” – Hugo Blick/Jack Nicholson as Jack Napier/The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989)
88“This is why only fools are heroes. You never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love or suffer the little children.” – Norman Osborn (aka the Green Goblin) in Sam Raimi’s Spider-man (2002)

Here’s one of my favorites:

- Fire: The Untamed Element, Oldest of Man’s Mysteries, Giver of warmth, Destroyer of forests, right now *this* building is on fire.
- What?
- Yes! The building is on fire! Leave the building! Enact the Age Old drama of Self-Preservation!
