Still not getting it. :( George

I haven't actually SEEN "Apocalypto," so I wasn't absolutely certain that was it. This is sort of a cult film, so I'll be surprised if anyone gets it. Still, there are enough quirks associated with it to make it worthy of this thread. It was originally a French film. Nonetheless, Germans in the film speak German; British speak English; and French speak French. All dialogue is subtitled. (The version I saw had English subtitles for all, including the lines in English. I assume that French and German versions did likewise.) It's about a Scottish soldier sent to defuse a bomb left behind by the Germans in a French town near the end of WW I. Most of the town has evacuated, leaving only the inmates of an asylum in the town. The only actor in it you're likely to know is Alan Bates. And my personal recollection (I went to MIT during these years): it showed daily FOR FIVE YEARS at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, MA. George

"Apocalypto"? George

I believe the connection is Mel Gibson. I couldn't remember the title of the movie you describe, so I googled (well, IMDbed) movies he produced. I'm not sure if that's cheating, especially because you never mentioned Gibson. But I'll hold off giving the title until the referee decides if the play was legal. :) George

OK. So no Aramaic or Latin. (I suspect that, in reality, conversations between the Romans and the Jews would have been in Greek, but so be it.) I can't think of another movie completely in a foreign language (or languages). (One I might do, if it comes around to me again, was in three languages, but one was English.) Considering the filming location and apparent setting somewhere in Latin America, I suspect that the film was in Spanish; but still no idea about the title. George

"I know the presidents' chief scientific advisor, we were at MIT together. And, in a situation like this, you-you really don't wanna take the advice from a man who got a C minus in astrophysics. The presidents' advisors are... wrong. I'm right." "It is stuck, yes?" "Back off! You don't know the components!" "Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!" George

"Mask"? George PS: In THIS thread, it's perfectly acceptable (if not actually encouraged!) to start with more obscure lines, and then easier ones, if no one gets it. In "Flicks Remembered from One Line," you're supposed to make the one line as obvious as possible.

"The Passion of the Christ"? George

It sounds like a Popeil infomercial! :lol: George

Sounds like "The Little Prince," but that was French... George

RG is correct. It was "The Poseidon Adventure." I gotta tell ya, Rottie, these games are a LOT more fun when more people are playing. These days, it's pretty much me, WW and Human, with the occasional visit from Raf or hiway29. Remember, it's OK to google if you're GIVING the clues. In fact, I thought about "The Poseidon Adventure," and then went to IMDb for trivia. I'll call it a FREE POST, but I'd still prefer RG to give it a go. George

This film could have been cast with Gene Wilder, Sally Kellerman, Petula Clark, and George C. Scott, instead of Red Buttons, Stella Stevens, Carol Lynley, and Gene Hackman, respectively. The former group were all considered for or offered the roles portrayed by the latter. George

The show had a one season run in 1996. Otherwise, it was 1963-1989 and 2005-present. You're up. George

Not necessarily. I just remember Elwes jabbing at Costner by saying that he (Elwes), unlike other Robin Hoods, could speak in a British accent. :) Give me a bit to come up with another. George

"Jerry Maguire" "Crom!" (I will accept any film with the right title character.) George

"Robin Hood: Men in Tights"? George

He's on first... George

That's it. :) George

I remember when you first put that quote below your avatar, but without the "vpig" acknowledgment. I thought it meant that you were in such a good place, now, that you could show people what was good about being alive. I'm still praying for you to get to that place. George

The story of George Reeves, his iconic role on a TV show where he and six others crash land on a planet where everything is 12 times the size it is on Earth, and the mystery surrounding his death. George

"The Wizard of Oz" is the answer I was looking for. It IS possible that the line also appears in the musical "The Wiz." WW was being cute. Human's up. George

Though I didn't get it from "gotta cath 'em all," I do, in retrospect, remember that line associated with them. This show has had essentially three lives, with twelve different people playing the lead character. George

Pocket monsters = Pokémon. :) George

I honestly don't know. I'm SURE it was uttered in a different movie. ;) George

Sometimes, I hear a song over and over, but it's background (music at a nightclub, etc.), and I never listen to the words. That may be the case here. I don't recognize the lyrics, and the other clues aren't helping. George
