Taking a page out of Andrew’s book (OK…I flat out stole his idea), I present yet another movie quote quiz. This time, however, there are ten quotes, and each is from a classic film (or, at the very least, films that many agree have achieved that status). Try to name as many of the films as you can.
Some are fairly simple, but I’ve thrown a few in that might stump you as well.
Good luck.
1). “You could find a lover boy on every damn corner in town. It don’t make a damn to them whether you’re waitin’ on tables or pickin’ cotton, but it does make a damn to me”.
2). “Don’t overcook it. You overcook it, it’s no good. It defeats its own purpose.”
3). “I shall remember this moment: the silence, the twilight, the bowl of strawberries, the bowl of milk. Your faces in the evening light.”
4). “Some day this country’s gonna be a fine, good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”
5). “Unpleasant? Strange. I’ve been told I have a very winning personality. The very best shoe clerk the store ever had.”
6). “She was fifteen years old, going on thirty-five, Doc, and she told me she was eighteen”
7). “Well, go on, do me in you bastard cowards! I don’t want to live anyway, not in a stinking world like this!”
8). “How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can’t even trust his own pants.”
9). “On board every flight, there’s one stewardess you long to seduce.”
10). You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me.”
I can’t tell you any of them but 7 is familiar, as is 8.
oh my god Henrik shame on you, and you call yourself a Kubrick and Bergman fan!
3) The Seventh Seal
4) Paths of Glory
7) A Clockwork Orange
9) Chungking Express (good one!)
I know number 10… thats killing me
#8 is from one of my favourite films. Good ‘old Leone.
The only ones I knew were 7 and 8.
Is 10 High Noon?
So far, numbers 3, 7 and 9 have been guessed (good job, rot).
3 – The Seventh Seal
7 – A Clockwork Orange
9 – Chungking Express
Number 4 is not Paths of Glory, and 10 is not from High Noon.
And yes, #8 is Leone, and one of my favorite films as well!
3) The Seventh Seal
Once Upon a Time in the West
4) Grapes of Wrath
7) A Clockwork Orange
9) Chungking Express
6 I’m pretty sure is One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
Shit, how did I not know this one straight away? 2 is Raging Bull.
Well done, Roy and Ross (though #4 is not Grapes of Wrath either).
Thus far:
2 – Raging Bull
3 – The Seventh Seal
6 – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
7 – A Clockwork Orange
8 – Once Uponm a Time in the West
9 – Chungking Express
Leaving only 1, 4 (which must be tougher than I thought it would be), 5 and 10 to go.
Ah! Just remembered what 1 is (was bugging me for a while there); it’s Bonnie & Clyde, I’m pretty sure. Need to rewatch that again soon, such a fantastic movie.
Number 10 is Apocolypse Now?
ugh, of course Supervix, that number 10 was a good one, Dave.
4) The Searchers!!!!
“oh my god Henrik shame on you, and you call yourself a Kubrick and Bergman fan!”
Hmm… Fuck you you fucking asshole fucking rapist.
I have never seen The Seventh Seal with english subtitles. Might have something to do with me not knowing the english translation you fucking idiot. Fuck you fuck you fuck you.
I exaggerate, but again… Americans not understanding the outside world.
The A Clockwork Orange quote I didn’t know, untill somebody mentioned it. It admittedly has been years since I’ve seen it.
I didn’t like Paths of Glory much though, nor The Shining. Stanley Kubrick is not perfect, but he does validate the medium with his perfection. Does that make sense to you retards? Don’t take it personal, I just like being aggresive.
You’re biases are showing again Henrik. Our Mr. Rot right is is of the Canadian vintage.
Rot, seriously, I call myself nothing except my name, which I didn’t choose myself. Fuck you accounting me for shit. I thought better of you than to take any chance to grind people into the dirt, no matter how playful you think you are.
Fucking shit man. “You call yourself a Bergman fan”? Fucking retarded want-to-be-regarded-as-smart-by-somebody-in-the-world-please-please-can-i-be-a-smart-guy-for -you
asshole.
Was the person who made this shit Canadian Kurt? I see no canadian translation, only an american one, that people who watch movies in the american (might I add, broken english – which essentialy is broken danish) would understand.
I find it amusing that you (seem to in text) are getting so puffed up about something so trivial. No, I was referring to your comment about ‘unworldly americans not understanding that things have to be translated etc. etc.) Rot is from Canada. Although it is clear that I’ve misunderstood your rantings and ravings. Ain’t the Internet grand?
I admit to being ranting and raving and grandstanding and puffed up about something trivial. Whatever else you want to call me I admit to being.
5. Touch of Evil, a movie I owned for 4 years before watching, bought during a big Orson Welles fixation. It skipped on me/seemingly defective the first couple times I tried watching it, fell asleep one time, and finally came through for me watching on my computer last month.
That’s the last of them! Ross got #1, Supervix got #10, Roy got #4 and Goon got #5.
The rundown is:
#1 – Bonnie and Clyde
#2 – Raging Bull
#3 – The Seventh Seal
#4 – The Searchers
#5 – Touch of Evil
#6 – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
#7 – A Clockwork Orange
#8 – Once Upon a Time in the West
#9 – Chungking Express
#10 – Apocalypse Now
Well done! I’ll try and come up with another classic quiz for next week. Thanks to all who participated
so, Henrik, what is it: tourettes, alcohol, or some kind of post-modern performance art?
bravo.
It’s truth mate. A hard thing for this world to stand.
Hm, I feel like Michael Richards must have felt. My joke was ruined because people took it seriously – probably due to an error in judgement.
I don’t really think you’re a rapist though rot.
Why, don’t be silly, Henrik. Nobody takes you seriously.
Hm, I feel like Michael Richards must have felt. My joke was ruined because people took it seriously – probably due to an error in judgement.
Don’t worry about it, Henrik. I knew you were kidding.
I forgive you, Henrik
Jonathan, I find that hard to believe, because if nobody took me seriously, I would have alot more friends.
rot, I don’t really deserve forgiveness from you. If you really wanted to show me up, you should have forgiven me right away. Now it just feels cheap, just like my joke feels cheap. The entire experiment went awry, I should probably (most definitely, but I don’t like to say it) have taken into account my perception on the internet before I went off the deep end joke-wise. Jokes are undoubtedly my downfall though, because people hate being mocked.
“Henrik, what is it: tourettes, alcohol, or some kind of post-modern performance art?”
I find this question amusing, and while it has no meaning to this particular disaster, I will say that alcohol is the answer to any and all questions. People who say otherwise are ignorant.
