Had some extra time on my hands after the Sopranos tonight. Try and guess the movies these quotes are from. Off the top of my head:
#1. "Shoot straight, you bastards! Don't make a mess of it!"
#2. "... wait until you give them crabs. Then you'll really know hatred."
#3. "What is your name, 41?"
#4. "We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner. Sorry!"
#5. "... he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend."
#6. "You should be commended for such cheaply bought nobility."
#7. "... I know Ike ... Let's have a spellin' contest."
#8. "... When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart."
#9. "... Where's the rest of your platoon, Sgt Steiner!!!!"
#10. "... This is Koulikov's rifle ... it's a good ... rifle."
Have fun now.
Cheers.

OMG Dis! I watch a lot of movies & I don't know any of these.
I've got one for you:
" I like you Scully, that's why I'm going to kill you last".
BTW, how are the last Sopranos episodes? I have to wait for CTV to air them( hopefully this fall) but I haven't seen anything on ctv.ca yet about it.

I have to wait for CTV to air them( hopefully this fall) but I haven't seen anything on ctv.ca yet about it. I really can't get into the Sopranos unless you don't mind the spoilers, JKR. The last episode airs on Sunday night. Some teasers if you like: * The NY family has been provoking war with the NJ family. * Now, the new boss of the NY territory has given the order to decapitate the NJ leadership. Their targets are Tony, Sil and Bobby. They will negotiate with whoever is left. * Tony has already gone to ground as has the new boss of the NY territory, Phil. I can tell you some specifics if you want. Think lots of rounds. But, it's going to be hard to wrap up the whole series in one hour. Don't know your quote though. Might have to cheat a bit and Google it when I have time. Cheers.

This man killed Captain Hunt. He will be executed immediately. "#2. "Hey bartender ... you know how to make a redeye?" This one is in Mrs. Dis' collection actually. #3. "I train some of the best gladiators and charioteers in Rome. Would you like to be one of them?"#7. "I'm your huckleberry ..."#8. "It was a war party ... Ottawa; allied to the French."#10. "My mother makes the best potatoes and bacon in Stalingrad ..."Cheers.

# 10) Enemy at the gates.
#1) I know the movie, the line "Shoot straight, you bastards! Don't make a mess of it!" is when the guy is standing in front of a firing squad.....I think his name was Morant but I can't remember the name of the movie.

# 10) Enemy at the gates. #1) I know the movie, the line "Shoot straight, you bastards! Don't make a mess of it!" is when the guy is standing in front of a firing squad.....I think his name was Morant but I can't remember the name of the movie. You're right WRT #10, PI. I'll give you the other movie called, "Breaker Morant." It was a movie based on the book "Scapegoats of the Empire" written by the only surviving member of the accused, George Witten (sp?). In the scene you're talking about, you see both Harry Morant and John Hancock walk to the chairs they must sit on in front of the firing squad. On their way there, Morant extends his hand to Hancock as the two walk into oblivion. A few years later, the actor who played Morant was told that the real Morant and Hancock did the exact same thing on their way to be executed. It's a rather sad story as three Australian officers are charged with murder during the Boer War. However, they are sacrificed so as to prevent Germany from coming into the war on the side of the Dutch. A true story. Cheers.

#8. "... When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart."
The Last of the Mohicans. (I've only seen it twenty times)
One of three of my favorite films.
#10 "... This is Koulikov's rifle ... it's a good ... rifle."
Enemy At the Gates.
My father was a resistence fighter and a damn good sniper so this movie spoke to me.
The rest.....BITE ME! LOL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite lines.......
"You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!"
Favorite lines.....
"What am I going to do with you? You simply won't... die."
A line from a film that always gets to me.....
"Who will help me carry him?"
This one is from a series and it struck me between the eyes like a twenty ppound ball peen hammer. One of the greatest delivery of lines in TV history.
"You're a son of a b*tch, you know that?" He starts walking slowly toward the front of the church. "She bought her first new car and you hit her with a drunk driver. What, is that supposed to be funny? 'You can't conceive, nor can I, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God,' says Graham Greene. I don't know whose ass he was kissing there, 'cause I think you're just vindictive. What was Josh Lyman, a warning shot? That was my son." His voice wavers slightly on the word "son." "What did I ever do to yours but praise his glory and praise his name? There's a tropical storm that's gaining speed and power. They say we haven't had a storm this bad since you took out that tender ship of mine in the north Atlantic last year. Sixty-eight crew. You know what a tender ship does? Fixes the other ships. Doesn't even carry guns. Just goes around fixing other ships and delivers the mail. That's all it can do. Gratias tibi ago, domine. Yes, I lied. It was a sin. I've committed many sins. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug? Three point eight million jobs, that wasn't good? Bailed out Mexico, increased foreign trade, thirty million new acres of land for conservation, put Mendoza on the bench, we're not fighting a war, I've raised three children." He ascends a short set of stairs. "That's not enough to buy me out of the doghouse? Haec credam a deo pio? A deo iusto, a deo scito? Cruciatus in crucem. Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui. Officium perfeci. Cruciatus in crucem. Eas in crucem!"
And last but not least....from a movie that is yet to be made......
"Kovalev you bum, I want to rip the CH right off your shirt, shove it down your throat so your heart will get a real close look at it ".

#8. "... When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart." The Last of the Mohicans. (I've only seen it twenty times) One of three of my favorite films. There's so little made for the big screen about this period that this movie held me to it the first time I saw it. Excellent movie. I have the book and there's really only two pages dedicated to the duel between the Russian and German snipers. However, it made for a good movie. Some very strong performances by Law, Pearlman and Harris. Rachel Weisz did very well developing her character. "... I can't believe they let you wear a uniform." Or, "... so this is what a courtroom looks like." Another original idea turned into a good movie, "A few good men." If there one thing I didn't like was the distraction of Demi Moore's character. She developed it well enough but like I said, she was distracting in that white uniform. I've heard the line before but I'm stumped on this one. Was that Sir Derek Jacobi in "Gladiator" by chance? This one is from a series and it struck me between the eyes like a twenty ppound ball peen hammer. One of the greatest delivery of lines in TV history. Don't know this one either ... hmm ... like Graham Green though. And last but not least....from a movie that is yet to be made...... Yes, yes ... now in post-production phase. However, from the movie, "My Stanley Cup ... the Joe Pesci Story," I like this line better (disclaimer ... spoiler follows); "... "What do you mean, I'm funny (Kovy)?...You mean the way I talk? What?...Funny how? I mean, what's funny about it?...But I'm funny how (Kovy)? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to f--kin' amuse you? What do you mean, funny? Funny how? How'm I funny??...How the f--k am I funny? What the f--k is so funny about me? Tell me? Tell me what's funny!..." Cheers.

You're a son of a pregnant doggy, you know that?" He starts walking slowly toward the front of the church. "She bought her first new car and you hit her with a drunk driver. What, is that supposed to be funny? 'You can't conceive, nor can I, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God,' says Graham Greene.

Officium perfeci. Cruciatus in crucem. Eas in crucem!" The West Wing. I wasn't a big fan of that show, but yeah, Martin Sheen was amazing delivering those lines. He grabs you right off the top, with his "You son of a ... " while looking up at the crucifix. Understated, but full of venom nonetheless. Proving that sometimes the best acting is done by under-acting. I agree, one of the best acting performances in TV, from a very underrated actor...

I agree, one of the best acting performances in TV, from a very underrated actor... Of all people, I thought that you would love that series. Snappy lines, left filed references that you actually had to THINK about them (imagine that, THINKING while watching the boob tube). Okay, so the plots where mundane and the scenarios all too predictable, but you can't dismiss the increadable writing. But then again.... Only Hollywood could "create" a President (or ANY politician) with a 160 IQ who really cares about the people and leading them down the right path. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BTW, here is a translation of the Latin for those who don't speak it while fending off gladiators ( ).... Haec credam a deo pio, a deo iusto, a deo scito? ("Am I to believe these things from a righteous god, a just god, a wise god?"). Cruciatus in crucem (" To hell with your punishments!" [literally, "Put/send punishments onto a cross"]). Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui; officium perfeci ("I was your servant, your messenger on the earth; I did my duty"). Cruciatus in crucem (with a dismissive wave of the hand)--eas in crucem ("To hell with your punishments! And to hell with you!" [literally, "May you go to a cross"]).

One of my favourite movies of all time ...
Would you rather spread manure, or play hockey in Madison Square Garden in front of 18,000 people? ...... Spread manure. .........You candy ass!
Other notables from the same movie ...
All right, one period left. One period away from winning it all or losing to these miserable hackers with their Saperlipopette-eating grins and their Saturday night wrestling tactics. One period away from remembering something for the rest of your life or something you wanna forget.
To the game and getting out of this hick town! Thank God there is a sport for middle-sized white boys.
Where else could I get beaten up every day, treated like Saperlipopette by prima donna Canadians, get my nuts shaved?

I don’t know… I found the characters to be so… earnest. So… good. Unless they were Republican, in which case they were just evil, power-hungry monsters. I think the West Wing was an idealistic portrayal of what government should be like… Maybe I’m just too jaded, but I don’t think there is any government in the world that is THAT good and moral… They were pretending to be realistic, without actually being realistic, if that makes any sense...

#1 - Godfather - Michael Corleone explaining his father to Kay.
# 2 - Lord of the Rings - Return of the King... Theoden is one of my favourite characters and that has to be my favourite line from him. The way Peter Jackson staged that whole scene and the way the character is played is simply brilliant.
