    The rules (there always has to be rules!)

    "Nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves, nothing on my plate except gravy. Yum.
    I take a book, a Russian book, it must be a Russian book and I throw it in the air!..." *book turns into a dove*

    lol, tell me that isnt your quote.

    quote: ""Empire" had the better ending. Luke loses his hand and finds out Vader is his father. Han is frozen and captured by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. Just like in real life. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets."

    Is it "Scream 2" when they're discussing the merits of the sequel in the classroom before Sidney shows up at the door?

    Heres a tough one - Classic cameo by a guy known more for his directing. Top marks for Film and actor playing Sid (sorry about length - but too good to leave out):

    Sid: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest ****ing scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.
    Duane: Oh, come on.
    Sid: Top Gun is ****ing great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
    Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.
    Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the ****ing line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
    Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?
    Sid: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the ****, what the **** is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting ****ing force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they ****ing land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last ****ing line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! ****in' A, man!

    no, i got it after thinking for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,494 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Damn, I thought that was in either 'Short Cuts' or '2 Days in the Valley'.

    Was this when Tarantino was chatting up an actress, by discussing whether she waxed or shaved (and which she did on her bikini line). What film was that in?

    Try this one:

    "Eat my spinning steel **** head!"

    or

    "Power without perception is spiritually useless and therefore of no true value"

    The first one is from a classic, gory Australian film and the second is from a gory, classic Anime. Anyone guess?

    sounds like a war film/black comedy type of thing, perhaps with the actor narrating parts.

    is it an oldie?

    Nope- Paths of Glory is a bit *too* obscure a film...I'll rephrase- it's an obscure line from a classic film. I simply can't say any more without giving the game away...c'mon...someone's got to know this frown.gif

    Sir John Mills in War and Peace?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭Loomer


    The friend must be Laurence Olivier so is it him as Dr Spaander in A Bridge to Far? I don't think its The Battle of Britain is it?

    The Great Escape? Said possibly by Richard Attenbourgh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,136 ✭✭✭Bob the Unlucky Octopus


    Goodness me, closer and closer and yet...!!

    Right genre, and right character type of actor- Sir John Mills, Alec Guiness, and Olivier were all indeed friends, but who was the fourth friend who used to golf with the other three(and hate it)?

    It's not the Great Escape- if you'll remember Draco- Bartlett is hardly one to eulogize about peace- he wants revenge- and if doing his duty allows him to achieve that revenge even at the expense of his life- then so much the better.

    It's not the Battle of Britain- but while we're on the subject, here's another obscure hint: Richard Harris has a cameo in this film as a flying officer about 5 minutes before the line is delivered.

    Brownie points for the actor and the character played remember smile.gif

    You guys are getting close- don't give up now! biggrin.gif

    Damn you Bard tongue.gif The Guns of Navarone it is Richard Harris a dead giveaway and the Actor/Character is no doubt David Niven/Corporal Miller. Indeed a classic film


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,136 ✭✭✭Bob the Unlucky Octopus


    Well done Bard- the film is the Guns of Navarone- and the character is Commodore Jensen, played by James Robertson Justice.

    Didn't think the Richard Harris thing was a dead giveaway, but so it proved. A classic film as Loomer points out- the confrontation scene between Miller and Captain Mallory near the end is fantastic biggrin.gif

    Heres a line from a film I think is hilarious I have masked the names as that would make it to easy:

    Speaker1: Don't be so fast to thank me on this, Speaker2, because you're going to be naked on this one. It's on the line for you. People are going to be watching. Now you blow it, you're going down. You screw up, you're going to be hung out to dry. You drop the ball, you're going to be left twisting in the wind. If you embarrass this department, your pants will be dancing with figs. Is that clear?
    Speaker2: Everything except for the dancing with figs part!

    Here's another classic from one of my favourite actors:

    No! No! Not if you tied my tounge to your tail-pipe and drove me eighty miles-an-hour naked across a field of broken glass.
