Another Movie Quote Quiz - The Classics (sort of)

[ericcoleman]

I've been meaning to do another of these for ages now. Here are 10 quotes from 10 movies. All of them are from the 50s and before. Good luck.

1 - I'd like to get in, get on with it, get it over with, and get out. selenesue from Court Jester (with singlemaltsilk coming in just moments later

2 - Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade. the2wittybird from Casablanca

3 - Mustard's no good without roast beef. 1phish2phish from Monkey Business

4 - You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail. mplsfish from Gone With The Wind

5 - You know something, Verna, if I turn my back long enough for Big Ed to put a hole in it, there'd be a hole in it. wormquartet from White Heat

6 - Drown in a vat of whiskey. Death, where is thy sting? exapno from Never Give A Sucker An Even Break

7 - There wasn't an F name in the Bible, so they named him Frankincense, because he smelled so sweet. ntrlstgrl from Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

8 - It's not a pretty face, I grant you, but underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character. 1phish2phish from An American In Paris

9 - I rarely use it myself, sir. It promotes rust. filkertom from Forbidden Planet

10 - But we've got something he wants. and I will give the last one to exapno since no one else seems to be getting it ... It's from King Kong, just after Ann and Jack have come back through the wall.

And just for the record exapno sent me email with the correct answers for 8 out of ten, and knew who said one of the other two ... scary ...

Emailing to save some fun for others :)

Just as well, everything you guessed was right ...

Arent all the movies from the 50's in black and white? I have a color TV, it doesnt show black and white movies!

[ericcoleman]

Then you should be able to answer questions 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9. Since they are all in color.

[whl.livejournal.com]

#9 is definitely in color, sorry.

[ericcoleman]

half of the movies in question are in color ... see my reply

[ericcoleman]

You seem to know what it is ... answer it already ...

[whl.livejournal.com]

#9 is, of course, said by Robby, in Forbidden Planet.

[the2wittybird.livejournal.com]

#2 i do believe is from casablanca...

i recognized #8 but cheated so I won't claim it.

Hee hee hee

Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephram, Frankincense, and Gideon.

And yes I can do that without looking it up. Wheeee!

And that was back in the day before Julie Newmar changed her name.

Oh thank goodness I'm listening to Jonny Lang because otherwise I'd have all sorts of SBfSB lyrics running amuck in my head!!

Re: We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

My Julie was yummy in this ...

And I can't think of any good reason to listen to Jonny Lang ... especially not to drown out good music ...

Well it's good...

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

...that we don't have to agree on everything...LOL

Must find SBfSB soundtrack on CD...and get the movie on DVD. BOTHERATION!!!

Howard Keel...mmm...yummy...handsome, can sing...yup...too bad he was so damn old!! LOL

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

I think you're right...Oscar Levant to Gene Kelly (character names escape me at the moment)...GODS he was an amazing pianist...

[ericcoleman]

There is a chapter in Harpo Marx's autobiography about Oscar ... there was a famous quartet who were supposed to be playing at a party, but their pianist was ill. Oscar said he would sit in. They looked at him like he was crazy, but gave him a song. He played with them like he had been playing with them for years ... sight reading everything ... yeah ... he could play a little

I need to track down his books ... I havent read them in years ... a deeply twisted, but deeply funny man

My favorite quote ... "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin"

And on Joe Dimaggio marrying Marilyn Monroe "No man should be allowed to excel at two national pastimes"

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

Marilyn Monroe should have married Henry Miller.

[ericcoleman]

If she did, he'd a taken her to Paris

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

And if she did...*bangs head on desk* I can hear the melody but not the words! ARGH!

[ericcoleman]

That line shows up a couple of times in the song ... come see my show and Demi and I'll fill you in

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

Demi? What is this Demi of which you speak?

Narcisistic of me to think you would remember that. It was longer ago than I thought.
I am a huge fan. I watch it at least every year. Since high school.

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Getting in late on this quiz. Is #1 from THE COURT JESTER? Danny Kaye, hypnotized to think he is Giacomo the jester/assassin, planning murders with Basil Rathbone?

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

I second the vote...that's what I thought it was but I wasn't 100% certain.

That is such a great movie!!!

We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

DING !!!

[ericcoleman]

Also ... who would imagine that Basil could be so damn funny ...

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

I think that's part of the reason it was so good...it was so incredibly NOT normal for him to be so funny!!!

[singlemaltsilk.livejournal.com]

#1. The Court Jester, I think.

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

I second (third? LOL!) the vote...that's what I thought it was but I wasn't 100% certain.

That is such a great movie!!!

We Have A Runner Up

[ericcoleman]

Just a moment behind ... but ... you get a DING !!! anyway ...

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

#9 -- Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet

We Have A Winner

[ericcoleman]

DING !!!

[ericcoleman]

One of those on the "WHY DON'T I OWN THIS ON DVD YET?" list

[xap]

oh DUH!! Thanks :)

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

LOL

I figured out 6 & 10 by cheating and looking them up...I'm not surprised no one has come up with 6, but I am surprised about 10. Well except for exapno who I'm guessing did, according to the post.

*grin*

And now good night if I could just get calmed down...where the hell is that valerian...

[ericcoleman]

Xap came up with both ... I'm sort of surprised that no one has come up with at least who said 6

[bibliofile.livejournal.com]

I cheated on 6 & 10, too, and am surprised that I didn't remotely recognize 6. Clearly I haven't been watching the right movies (or cable channels); I used to know a bunch of those lines.

[ntrlstgrl.livejournal.com]

*hangs head in shame* I have never even heard of #6...but I am a little surprised I didn't remember #10 because I just watched the original in preparation for the (more recent) remake...

This was fun...Eric should do it again. :P

LOL

Ok back to work now...

[xap]

still nothing on 10? Wow.....

For the (public) record, #6: Fields - Never give a Sucker an Even Break

[ericcoleman]

I thought that 10 would get answered quickly. I'm amazed that no one at least got that 6 was Fields ... Still, Fields has kind of been forgotten in a lot of ways.

Oh ... DING !!!
