Name that Flick

[Raf]

"Dead? No excuse for laying off work."

---

"God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!"

"Slugs."

"Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Dogma"?

George

[Raf]

You would think.

But no, it was not Dogma.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

In that case, perhaps another clue is warranted.

George

[Belle]

"Office Space"?

[Raf]

Nope.

If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!

---

"We made trees and shrubs. We helped make all this."

"Whew! That's not bad."

"Yeah. But did we get a thimble full of credit for it? No! All we got was the sack. Just for creating the Pink Bunkadoo."

"Pink Bunkadoo?"

"Yeah. Beautiful trees that was. Og designed it. 600 feet high, bright red, and smelled terrible."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?

George

[Belle]

Buckaroo Bonzai?

[Raf]

Nope and Nope.

Admittedly, this is a VERY tough one.

This MIGHT make it easier...

"I'll never get the chance to meet Robin Hood again."

Oh, stop moaning. He's obviously a dangerous man, unbalanced if you ask me. Giving away what isn't even his!

"That's what Robin Hood always did. Even I know that."

Of course, you know it all.

"He was one of my heroes."

Heroes! Heroes! What do they know about a day's work?

---

"I'd like to stay."

"Jolly good! What's your name?"

"Ke..."

"Ke? What a jolly nice name. Well never mind, cheerio! Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very, very, very much."

[Raf]

The giveaway: if you don't know it after this, just give up:

"Do you know where we are?"

"Of course I do. 1796, Battle of Castiglione. See?"

"Are you sure we're not in somebody's bedroom?"

[Belle]

Okay, I give up!

Where's Trefor? Sounds like something he would know the answer to!

[Raf]

Yes, I imagine he would.

Surprised I haven't heard from WordWolf on this one. This kind of movie is right up his alley.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Time Bandits"?

George

[Raf]

YES!!!!

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sorry it took so long. The only part of that movie I remember is the meeting with Napoleon.

"I was a captain of industry, feared by men, adored by women."

"ADORED? C'mon, let's be honest, Lew. You PAID for the women."

George

[Raf]

I figured that since the answer to "where are we" was a year, people would know time travel is involved. And the bit about are you sure we're not in somebody's bedroom is about as clear a reference to Time Bandits as I could think of.

[Belle]

Ahhhhhhh, I never saw that one.

[WordWolf]

*catches up to the thread*

Nuts, I was going to guess "Time Bandits".

The lasers thing sounded familiar.

Ditto the Robin Hood and bedroom.

Oh, well.

I'm confident I've seen the current one,

but my memory isn't kicking up the

name or scene.

I imagine you've ALL seen this one. If needed, I'll post another clue tonight.

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"All day long I listen to people give me excuses why they can't work. My legs hurt. My back aches. I'm only four. The sooner he learns life isn't handed to him on a silver platter, the better."

George

Scrooged~~~

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Correct!

Your go, Sharon.

George

[Raf]

Dang!

[sharon]

All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share. ;)

[WordWolf]

If we were doing tv episodes,

I'd say this was the "Lifebomb" episode of

"Tales from the Dark Side."

(That was creepy.)

Since we're doing movies,

I'll guess "the Producers".
