Easy Movie Quotes

[GeorgeStGeorge]

In the vein of "Songs remembered from just one line" I thought I'd add one for films. The idea here is that a line from a film is so memorable that it immediately identifies the film. (In lieu of a single line, a short exchange between characters is acceptable.) The movie itself, of course,should be fairly well-known. For example, if I give the line: "Be good, be gone, or be dead." anyone who has seen "Traxx" would immediately recognize it. Unfortunately, very few people have seen "Traxx," so it wouldn't be a fair clue for this game. The burden here is on the clue-giver. You are not trying to be tricky, but to be as obvious as possible. Note that some movies may have a LOT of usable one-liners. As usual, first to name the flick gets to post the next line. Let's begin:

"You've got me? Who's got YOU?"

How about "Badges? We don' need no stinkin' BADGES!"

[WordWolf]

G.A,

I hope you're thinking of the movie that was actually said,

and not the movie where it was ALMOST said.

(That's 2 different movies...)

WW are you naming the South of the border classic?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I would guess "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"; but WW's comment makes me unsure...

George

(Of course, if it were "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!", that would be the movie "UHF.") ;)

There's two classics, one older film shot in Mexico the other with a food that is very popular in mexican restaurants.

"Badges? We don' need no stinkin' BADGES!"

"Blazing Saddles."

This is fresh in my memory, since "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" was on TV a few days ago,

and I looked up the quote from that movie then, which was

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

So, next movie.

"All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."

"I'll be back"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Arnold Schwarzenneger in just about every movie. I'm sure he said it in "The Running Man" and "The Last Action Hero." I'm pretty sure he said it in at least one of the Terminator movies and in "Commando."

Which one did you have in mind? ;)

The Terminator, where it started..go George!

I don't believe this! I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido, the killer pimp!

I thought that that would be fairly easy, but here's another line from the same film:

"Joel, sometimes you just have to say, 'What the f---.'"

Ok, that's got to be "Risky Business."

I've never actually seen it start to finish, but I recognize the line anyway-

which is pretty much the benchmark for this thread.

(Recognize it even without the movie.)
