I just did a movie quote on another topic... not sure if anyone recognized it:
"We did not lose Vietnam! It was a tie!"
Forrest Gump?
Another quote:
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'Every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up."
Seems very Dumb and Dumber to me... but I don't recall that exact line in that movie... Dumb and Dumberer?
Hint: Two of the stars were also in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Another quote: "My father was in the Secret Service, Mr. Manfredjinsinjen, and I know perfectly well that you don't keep the general public informed when you're debriefing KGB defectors in a safe house."
"What's this one's name? Not Wanda anyway. I'm going to call her lunch. Hello lunch!"
"What's this one's name? Not Wanda anyway. I'm going to call her lunch. Hello lunch!"
dammit...
should not have missed that one for so long.... A Fish Called Wanda.
...
I've amended this quote to remove character names, like I usually do.
"you've got to go back where you belong now ... you've gotta go ... please, please, there's no time ... don't worry about us, we'll be alright. ... Get out of here! Can't you see we don't want you anymore‽ Why can't you go back to where you came from‽ LEAVE US ALONE!! ... go... GO! (goodbye, my friend)."
Ooh. That sounds familiar. Harry and the Hendersons?
If the two movie stars you've met are Free Willy and Bigfoot, I'll be impressed!
It is indeed the emotional climax of Harry and the Hendersons. Loved that movie growing up.
No, I don't know a movie star from this movie, that was the other thread. But having connections in the Northwest, you and I probably both have been close to a Bigfoot (enthusiast) or two in our days.
I haven't been here in super long, and most of the ones I post are very easy, but this one may be a little trickier. Still, I'm certain at least someone will get it. This movie's original language was not in English, but I watched it dubbed so;
"You said they stole it? Huh?! Yet when we walked past the van, it was intact! Where were the signs of an explosion, or a smashed in door!? You're just a pitbull who bites for his master, but all along they were making sure it was delivered to the one place they wanted it most!"
Treat mine as a sort of Bonus Round, feel free to disregard it, or guess both if you like because I didn't exactly guess the previous one etc. What I mean is, let the game continue as is, with stabguy placing his next quote, I'm just going to leave this comment here.
"Oh. One other thing. If you guys ever have kids and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug... go easy on him."
Back to the Future.
Classic Marty McFly.
"Do you really think you have a chance against us Mr. cowboy?"
Hidalgo?
another quote from the same character (one of my favorite movie characters)
"Due to [redacted]'s legacy of greed around the globe, they are about to be taught a lesson in the real use of power. You will be witnesses."
changing characters for quotes now:
"Glass, who gives a shit about glass?"
"Now I know how a TV dinner feels."
1: In fact, I think he's a cop. Maybe not LAPD, but he's definitely a badge.
2: How do you know that?
1: A hunch, things he said. Like being able to spot a phony ID.
2: Jesus Christ, he could be a fucking bartender for all we know!
and if THOSE don't give it away...
"Now I have a machine gun. Ho-ho-ho."
hint: Best. Christmas Movie. Ever.
Reindeer Games or Eraser.
Die Hard, definitely.
Die Hard, definitely.
Yippee-Ki-Yay, JoeyFogey.
Your turn, Joey.
"Oh, look at that. I've been impaled."
"Oh, look at that. I've been impaled."
Really? That easy? That mainstream? Okay
It's Olaf from Frozen.
Yep. That was an easy one that I hoped older members would struggle with.
Oh man I'm so sorry for coming in and Air Assassinating that out of nowhere.

It's what we do best on this site!
"Give him the gun. Give him all the guns. That boy's got the devil in 'im..."
Bad guess: Ender's Game
So I'm going to assume that the last quote was either correct, or won't be tended to. In the spirit of keeping things moving, I've got one:
"Oh, say can you-"
"No no, man it's Jose."
"What? I thought it was 'Oh, say' and all this time it was a spanish guy!"
The Three Amigos?
It sounds like something Cheech and Chong would say. Up In Smoke?
Here's another:
"Let's keep the profanity down!"
Everyone: "Wh-huh?!?"
"I mean it! No swearin'!"
"That eliminates all speech for most of the team."
I don't know. "A League of Their Own"?
Bad News Bears?
Bad News Bears?
That was my other guess. Both movies fit the quotes because:
singing the national anthem -> American sporting event
no swearing -> there's a lady (or ladies) present
I sure hope Throat shows up and clues us in soon!

I warned you...
So I look the movie up, and turns out I've seen it before, when I was little. It is a sports movie. From memory I remember Christopher Lloyd plays a character. Here's a quote I remember when someone asks the character his name (not sure if it's word for word): "Just call me Al."

That must be Angels in the Outfield
Finally. If you hadn't guessed it I would have put the most obvious quote:"From where I'm sitting , I'll say when the Angels win the pennant". Lets get this topic back on track.
"Give him the gun. Give him all the guns. That boy's got the devil in 'im..."
I looked up DAZ's quote. It's from a movie I had never heard of called Planet Terror. Here's the "give him the gun" scene (the entire quote above spans two different characters): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzT_6nAyPe8
Planet Terror was on a double feature with the movie Death Proof, which I saw some of. That wasn't really good for a Quentin Tarantino film. Also nice to see Tom Savini in that scene.

Oh, yeah: Grindhouse. I've never had a chance to see that.
So whose turn is it to post a new quote?
So whose turn is it to post a new quote?
That's from the movie... oh, your asking whose turn it is. You got Angels in the Outfield right, so it's yours.
I expect this to be a tough one so I'll get things started with two of my favorite lines and add more as needed:
"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back."
"But we do have one thing in common, only I don't have twenty or thirty years left in mine. Mine is already ten thousand beats overdue."
Piece of cake. I got it half way through the first one and didn't bother reading the second quote.
GATTACA
To be fair, it's pretty much required for someone remotely in my field to have seen the movie (we watched it in AP Bio in high school for one).
I'll figure something out for a movie in the next little bit.
Oh, wow. I figured not many people had seen Gattaca because it had a relatively low box office (approx. $12M in USA) and was a punchline for late night comedians. It struck a chord with me and the way I think about things.
During the opening title scene (Vincent getting ready for work) stabgal asked, "What is he doing?!" I said, "There's someone who's really trying to hide his identity." I was already hooked.
Yeah. And your first quote was one of the most powerful ones in the movie to me. This dude sacrifices everything to prove himself constantly. Plus, swim team, life guard, general interest in pushing a body to its limits in water...
Man, I need to rewatch it now.
"Language was developed for one endeavor, and that is - Mr. Anderson? Come on, are you a man or an amoeba? Mr. Perry?" "To communicate." "No! To woo women!"
And your first quote was one of the most powerful ones in the movie to me.
When he said "I never saved anything..." I said "That's right" out loud. For me it was distance running. Over the course of only one week in high school, I transformed myself from an average runner to a top competitor with one simple observation: It's better to run 7 fast laps and 1 slow one than to save something for the last lap.
"Language was developed for one endeavor, and that is - Mr. Anderson? Come on, are you a man or an amoeba? Mr. Perry?" "To communicate." "No! To woo women!"
Dead Poets' Society? (P.S. Carpe stabum.)
yep
I forced it on you with my subliminal sig.
Here's a new quote:
"Okay, so what am I doing?
Oh, I'm chasing this guy.
No... he's chasing me."
Memento
Damn, you guys are good at this game!
