Movie Challenge Y'all!!!


Think of a movie you love and post some dialogue...

Offer a hint as to the context, the lighting or soundtrack, describe a scene...
Other posters have to figure out the movie
I will start:
A few dudes are going fishing...
'Were going to need a bigger boat'

reply

He'd once scolded her in the streets of Philadelphia.

Now? She's grown up & they converse in a van on a street in Philadelphia.

Her---"Fighters fight."

reply

Rocky V

reply

No, Yonk. This [Rocky] was not numbered.

reply

Damn!

Creed

*i wavered on this one and chose wrong lol😉

reply

No, go one back.

reply

now im confused...
Lemme think

You are brutal dude lol!
Yours are crazy hard

reply

If for no other reason(s) I liked "Rocky Balboa" for:::

That one tv advertisement. It had it all + that line from the girl. It's got him pointing across his body and burying his face in Adrian's roses...take a look, Yonk...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG0hOpPs6eU

The 2nd reason,,,the opening where you do not see him (at first) in his restaurant but you hear him telling those people, his customers how it was with Creed. It never fails to raise the hair up on my arms.

Sylvester Stallone

reply

Holy cow i totally forgot this Rocky movie

Well played man
You are throwing out some toughies...i have some thoughts on a couple of your other ones but im mulling...i really like to have these 'puzzlers' in my head during the day
Thx man

reply

It's my privilege, Yonk!

reply

This professor is "little old man" who takes rapt exception to his protege's challenge of what is necessa.

"You don't tell me what's necess, I tell you what's necessa!"

Finally Mentor & Protege come to blows. Alas a 3rd man enters the scene and serves as referee, striped shirt & all.

reply

High Anxiety? (might have been first Mel Brooks movie I ever saw)

reply

Yep, ducky, that's it!!!

reply

POW camp :

POW to another - " Hey , do Grable
other POW -( doing a great impression of Clark Gable ), " Now see here Scarlett... I'm crazy about you and always have been. I gave you kisses for breakfast, kisses for lunch, and kisses for supper...and now I find that you're eating out.
1st POW : Not Gable , GRABLE !!!

This movie and another WW11 classic influenced the creation of a 60s -70s sitcom

reply

"Stalag 17"

I just think they overdo (these two) there.

reply

One of my favorite POW movies along with The Great Escape

reply

Lembeck's son had that nice part in "One Day At A Time."

reply

kid was good in ODAAT

speaking of Harvey- really enjoyed him in " Beach " movies

reply

Yes, you're right, I do recall him in those. He was good.

reply

& not to denigrate "Stalag 17" but they should not have included that scene where all the POWs were forced to stand outside and show their ID. Shultz & Price are clearly caught there by Sefton. Price would have left his mission first chance.

reply

Another of my favorite quotes from this classic :
Referring to William Holden 's escape :Whaddaya know ? The crud did it.
Shapiro : I'd like to know what made him do it.
Animal: Maybe he just wanted to steal our wire cutters. You ever think of that ?

reply

Yep, and Holden striking his match across Brand's grizzled cheek and Brand proud to provide said striker, as he realizes how close he came to murdering an American brother.

By God, it's close to a teared ending, tex.

reply

tex, I located your boys-4'O'clock this morning...Wilder tracks in---& catches 'em dead serious. It's the TCM April preview.

They're at 1:05
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJJ-2L12m4

Holden strikes his match on Brand immediately thereafter.

reply

Just 5 words---it shouldn't be a problem for this most august crew.

"...stormed the beach at Normandy!"

reply

Stand By Me

reply

Absolutely!!! That's why his old man ended up in tokis. It wasn't because he burned his son's ear on the stove. It's because he stormed the beach at Normandy.

reply

'Looney, Looney,Looney!!'

Oddly enough i was just reading about the beach landings the other day and this scene popped into my head

reply

And the actor there did a fine job in a difficult scene with those children. He's undulates down to their level---then rises a bit---then busts Feldman's character in half..."all except for the looney's kid..."

Great scene in movie history.

reply

Yup
It sticks with you

reply

& it communicates the wire that runs thru a small town like that. Everyone knows everything. The general store owner is jazzed to be speaking with the kid brother of the star QB. Jazzed, but, at the same time indifferent, he'd much rather have the QB there, but, he died.

reply

Early '70's disaster flick. This character would in the not to distant future turn his career from one of serious character roles to lead comedy roles and find huge success in the comedy genre. Here, he is incensed as he's ordered under threat of replacement by one of his fellows to redraw an order he's given. He does so then reproaches his nemesis:::

"You irresponsible bastard."

reply

Poseidon Adventure - Leslie Neilsen

reply

Yep. I love that part, howie.

Then when he gets the warning from the lookout, Nielsen's simple response:::"Oh my God."

reply

From television series introductions:::

Just 6 words during the introduction:::

"Through rain and wind and weather"

---

The number (714) is placed in the introduction.

------

This series character is "moving kind of slow."

---------

This girl is ID'ed precisely during the introduction of every episode of this series. She hails from Brewster, upstate New York.

------

They query this car's whereabouts in the introduction of this series episodes. The car has a single cantaloupe sized cherry atop it.

---

This character gets caught looking in a face sized peep hole in a stripper bar window by a beat cop in the closing credits of this show.

reply

#5 sounds like Car 54

Trying to puzzle out the others

reply

Yep, you got it first, Yonk!

ADDENDUM: I did not like "54" as a kid, mostly because of that damn "Toody." 50 years later? I laugh out loud watching it & him. Go figure.

reply

The last one...Oscar Madison?

reply

Yes.

reply

Rawhide
#3 - Uncle Joe ( Edgar Buchanan ) from Petticoat Junction
#4 - That Girl ???
#5-Car 54 Where Are You ???
# 6 , I was gonna guess ShogunofYonkers one from The Odd Couple

reply

Got 'em, tex. Outstanding work, fellow.

Only (714) remains. The number has been pressed into metal and assigned to an employee. When this employee walks, his arms do not move the way most people's arm's shift back and forth. They remain still at his side.

An extra clue:::The man who portrays this character loves the teleprompter.

reply

Jack Webb in Dragnet ???

reply

Lady : Have you ever eaten a dog ?
Protagonist :Eaten one and lived like one

and my favorite from this classic:
Protagonist to villain of the movie : Hey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill ? -takes place at a mine

reply

I got the second:::"Hombre"

It's on my Western Channel all the time.

Has aged, tex, with time like the finest of vintage wine. No screwin' around with build ups false OR otherwise. Just a realistic, gritty presentation of greed, crisis and humanity driven excitedly, per usual, by Richard Boone. He never fails to aggravate, bless his heart.

The vengeance scene with Canary at the stage. It never grows old. & you know it's coming, but, yet you don't want Canary to get away (lol) before Newman pulls his piece. "Hurry, Paul, get up there and get it!"

The landlady asking Mitchell what he's doing there at the robbery site:::"Going bad." He's tired of the hardscrabble life. He already told her that in the jailhouse earlier when he turned down her marriage proposal.

tex, with yet the 2nd of 2 Sunday mornin' comin' down direct hits. I got nary choice. His citation of "Hombre" deserves nothing less.

Go on, you big, beautiful, tex, you. Enjoy your Sunday!!!

ADDENDUM: An it's an adult western. I did not care for this as a youngster. Then as you age you see it, & you see it all.

reply

Enjoy your Sunday , too.

Here is another quote from one of my favorite actors in one of his best roles in yet another classic flick:
" If I'm curt with you , it's because time is a factor. I think fast , I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So , pretty please..with sugar on top. Clean the fuckin' car ! "

poor guy is just helping the guys out of a jam

reply

"Pulp Fiction" - Harvey Keitel?

reply

You nailed it - Bad Lieutenant himself

reply

" Big " patriarch of the family :" There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity ! " - in a conversation with his son. The two were legendary award winning actors in this great film

The son to his wife , the star of the film , herself a legendary actress: "... we're through with lies and liars in this house. Lock the door. "- fantastic end to a great movie

reply

Nobody's Fool?

reply

Swing and a miss

reply

Dang

reply

East of Eden ???

reply

No , but this movie was only three years later

reply

"Sometimes a Great Notion?" --- Forget it, this is further away than 3 years.

reply

"The Big Country?" Ives, Burl!

reply

closer , Culburn - Burl Ives is one of the actors , but wrong movie

reply

I knew it was Burl, he was always speech-a-fyin' in the '50's.

reply

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ???

reply

Ladies and Gentlemen , boys and girls of all ages , we have a winner.

That Maggie , what a wildcat and Liz rocked in that role

reply

Burl Ives gave it away.
