Of course, we can't use MY knowledge of movies as the standard, but I think we've strayed a bit from the purpose of this thread. For instance, Human's quote from Die Hard, while recognizable to bfh (and one that I remember from the movie -- after it's been pointed out), is probably not the most recognizable line. I would suggest that "Yippie-kai-yay, mother------" would probably give it away even to someone who hasn't seen the movie. In the case of the current clue, either it's a fairly little-seen movie, or the choice of quote is not great. Remember that we have "Name that Flick," where it's fine to be subtle, at least for a while. I guess a problem that I didn't really consider when I started this thread was that there are really only about a couple dozen movies that would be instantly recognizable to most people with a single quote or short dialogue. And we've seen them all. :) We obviously don't want to go over the same movies, time and again, so what to do? Let me give a couple of simple ideas: Pick a movie that did well at the box office. Even if it won Academy Awards, but no one saw it, like "My Left Foot," don't use it. The older the movie, the better-known it has to be. Unless it's something like "The Wizard of Oz" or "Gone with the Wind," there had better be at least one REALLY famous line from it. A longer quote may be a little better than a short one, unless the short one is VERY recognizable. Carry on. George

This one I wore out "Silhouettes" It was my favorite song when Herman's Hermits did it, though I confess I didn't understand the words correctly. It wasn't until I heard the Rays' version of it on an oldies station that I realized that the guy was at the wrong house! But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me George

I've heard of Oyster Bay. My fraternity "big brother" was from there. Of course, he called it "Oysta Bay." :lol: Raf and I are hoping that some newbie will join in, as this IS an easy one... George

"I'll never let go, Jack. I promise." George

That's it. George

Yep..NOAH + BUDDYS (Holley and Ebsen) + FOOL Go. George

Kirstie Alley Madhouse John Larroquette George

Correct, although the characters aren't in Hell throughout the film. Think Happy Gilmore in Hell. George

It is Matlock. When potential clients would come to him, he would often give them his criteria for taking them on. George

"Revolution" by the Beatles She wants to return the things I bought her Tell her she can kepp them, just the same. George

No, not Mason George

February made me shiver, with every paper I delivered George

Sometimes links go down. Let's try again. George

Owen Wilson Meet the Parents Robert Deniro George

I know the song, but I'm not sure if "I Think We're Alone Now" is the actual title. George

Cool. One point I might make is that if there's a photo of a person whose name is required for the puzzle (as opposed to, say, his action or facial expression), it helps to mention that. four pics (two on one line); you need the (non-cartoon) guys' names George

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. This sort of thread used to be in "Open," where it was easy to find. Not anymore! George

From Raf's analysis and the first two pics (ANGEL + SAND), I'd guess "Angels and Demons." The third picture could be a demon, but then the last pic is irrelevant. The last pic could be "MOMS," but then I don't get the guy. ?? George

I'm pretty sure that's the Cowardly Lion's speech in "The Wizard of Oz," but I'll wait for acknowledgment. For those of you who haven't seen "It Happened One Night," Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are broken down on the side of a road and need to hitchhike. Gable gives a speech about all the various thumb techniques for hitchhiking but fails to attract a ride. Colbert hikes up her skirt and sticks her leg out, bringing the first car to come by to a screeching halt. Vive la difference! George

No, not "It's a Wonderful Life." This movie was actually about a decade earlier. I remember watching it many years ago, during a baseball strike, when TBS showed movies in lieu of Braves' games. If no one gets it by the end of the day, I'll give the answer. George

This is going to take some cogitatin'... George

"My Way" Up every mornin' just to keep a job I gotta fight my way through the husslin' mob... George

This one's also an oldie but a goodie. The memorable part isn't really these two dialogues, but what happens in between! ;) "I'll stop a car, and I won't use my thumb!" "What're you gonna do?" "It's a system all my own." FAMOUS SCENE "Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped forty cars!" "Well, ooo, I'll remember that when we need forty cars." George
