"We weren't sure at first what to make of this, but we developed a theory. We feel that

when people committed great crimes against the state, they were forced to watch this."

"Yes. That's exactly what it was."

CORRECT!

Sleeper was about a 20th-century schmoe accidentally frozen cryogenically, then thawed

out centuries later. In one of his early scenes, someone asks him about various

artifacts from the 20th-century. He "explains" pics of Stalin, Lugosi, DeGaulle,

and some other things, including a video clip of Cosell.

I remember a more distinct line: "Don't move, or the nose gets it!" but I MAY have

misremembered the line, so I didn't use it. I couldn't confirm the line.

George got that one (and pretty fast, I might add.)

Since I posted other clues for "Sleeper" a few weeks ago, that shouldn't come as a surprise!

This movie isn't my usual fare, but I thoroughly enjoyed it:

What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not. If you had half the brains you're supposed to have, you'd done it yourself, long ago.

Here's an easier clue (same movie, of course):

Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped forty cars.

George

[Pirate1974]

I'll remember that when we need forty cars.

It Happened One Night

I thought that first one was a Gable line but I couldn't remember what movie.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Right you are, Mr. P.!

I still remember the scene: Gable goes through his whole set of hitching-a-ride strategems without success. Claudette Colbert sticks out a leg, and the next car comes screeching to a halt. As CC explains, "It proves the limb is mightier than the thumb!"

George

[Pirate1974]

A classic scene. That movie was pretty hot stuff for the 1930s.

It is better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"End of Days"?

George

[Pirate1974]

No

[sharon]

The Mummy?

(i know it's in the re-make)

[Pirate1974]

"The Mummy" it is (1990s version)

[sharon]

There is no renewal.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Logan's Run"?

George

[sharon]

Yep...

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I deleted my other post. (Hopefully, no one is responding to it as I write this.) Sharon's clue reminds me of this one:

There is no bathroom!

George

[sharon]

Since he just announced he was running for govenor again I give you extra points for good timing!

Kindergarden Cop

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'll probably use the other quote later, so I won't give it away now. :)-->

George

Your turn, Sharon.

[sharon]

Did they make my life story into a movie?

George

All ready for the remake, Sharon?

Yours, Mine and Ours

I think I've just had an apostrophe.

I think I've done this one recently, but I love the quote and it's been long enough.

[WordWolf]

I'm thinking that's one of Smee's lines in "Hook".

"You mean an epiphany."

"It's like light just struck my brain.

"That must hurt."

If it isn't, it's only because I was just recounting the

"Don't try to stop me, Smee!" scene earlier...

[Raf]

Hook is it.

[WordWolf]

This quote has nothing to do with the news of the past few

months, but I'm including it on those grounds anyway...

"I need you back here right now. What'll you take to come back and work for me again?"

"I'll take a vacation."

"Good, you're hired."
