Poor Herb Edelman in "Barefoot in the Park"

Here's one:

"What do I get if I give you your ba**s back, you wop c***sucker?"

L.A. Confidential ( I had help on this one-Jen remembered the quote-I had thought I knew it but wasn't sure)

"Time! Time! What is time? The Swiss manufacture it. The French hoard it. Italians want it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook"

Peter Lorre in "Beat the Devil"

Here's one that's a bit obscure (not as obscure as "Garden of the Finzi Continis, however).

"I've lost my white mouse."

"I've lost my white mouse."

This is pretty obscure-but then again I used to sit and watch every grade B horror flick known to man.
Revenge of the Creature-
I only knew this from having a crush on Lori Nelson who was the female hot lead. She was part of a short lived TV show called How To Marry A Millionaire(obviously a take off on the movie). I gre up in a rather modest environment and instead of a baby sitter-my folk would either sit me in the ovies for double features on a saturday-or plant me in front of the TV where I watched everything on the 4 networks that we had in NYC. Jenny and i speak to each other it seems in movie or TV lines much of the time. I feel alot like Martin Tupper in the old HBO series Dream On as I have flashbacks to TV shows and movies all the time. Let me come up with one shortly

Re: Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

OK-Hope I got this one right-had a lot to drink at dinner tonight-

"There'll be a flag flying out there in the morning that I swore to uphold. Armies of good men have died for it gladly. It's a battle flag and it's a flag of victory. I'm rather proud to be under it. And I wouldn't want to go out in the morning like you and know that I was going to be a traitor to it!"

Well I'm thinking of two. My best guess would be "Beau Geste," although Stan and Ollie had an earlier French Foreign Legion film called "Beau Hunks," starring meanie Charles Middleton as the commandant. I'm pretty sure it's "Beau Geste," though.

I'll have one for you shortly. Here you go:

"We've got to figure out how to make these things smaller!"

Re: Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

Give me some time with this one-not thinking clearly-way too much vodka tonight. I know this line from a pretty bad movie around the early 80's or before. Will sleep on it and if all else fails will get Jenny involved. (your Beau Geste was right on-not many on this board can get the 1939 classics)

Re: Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

OK-I narrowed down the time frame but still have no title-Jen thinks it could have come from the Stephen Spielberg bomb starring John Belushi-1941. She thinks it is part of long piece of dialogue in the movie. But we each saw that movie only once so this is a total guess. If we are wrong, please post a hint.

If we got it right-try this-

"I'm ready to die for my Lord. May the Lord's church obtain peace and liberty through my blood"

Peter Cook in "Bedazzled." One of the funniest films ever. The scenes where he's doing random evil--scratching records, popping the buttons off new shirts, are priceless.

Jen was right about "1941," universally panned but nevertheless with some very funny dialogue. The line I quoted was by a Japanese sailer horsing his large radio into a German submarine.

Try this:

"I shall write a monograph someday on the noxious habit of accumulating useless trivia."

Easy and hard at the same time-No question this is a Sherlock Holmes quote from Basil Rathbone-my problem is I have no idea which of the movies it was from. I know a couple that it is definitely NOT from (the Woman in Green, The Secret Weapon, Faces Death, Scarlet Claw, Pearl of Death, House of Fear). It could be from Voice of Terror, Holmes in Washington, Dressed to Kill, Pursuit to Algiers, or a couple of others that I have missed). Jenny is leaning towards the Voice of Terror or Holmes in Washington but this is one we need a hint on to narrow it down. We are HUGE Rathbone fans ever since seeing him in Robin Hood with Errol Flynn.

"Holmes in Washington," one that frankly I'm not sure I've ever seen. My understanding is he hated the role, but loved the money. Years ago WGN in Chicago hired Rathbone to tape some intros and breaks for the films. So you'd have Basil, sitting in front of a roaring fire, saying "This week on Sherlock Holmes theatre, blah blah blah." Very cool. He was wonderful in Robin Hood and don't forget to watch for the guys running back and forth (doing nothing else) in the great hall next time you get a chance to see it. Once you're aware of it, it's impossible to get back into the scene. Your turn.

Try this-should not be too difficult-

"If you're gonna be a band leader, you ought to change your name."

I can only think of two movies about band leaders--Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller (an obvious oversight, nobody ever filmed "The Spike Jones Story.") There are probably more (Red Nichols?) but those are the two I remember and I'm guessing since Benny was Jewish, somebody probably made that suggestion to him in the film. Steve Allen was terrific in it, whether I'm right or not.

Right-There was of course a movie about Gene Krupa but that was not a band leader. There was alos the Fabulous Dorseys and a movie about John Philip Sousa. (I don't know of any movies about Artie Shaw, Count basie or duke Ellington). Your reasoning was sound. The Benny Goodman Story with Steve Allen and Donna Reed. Your turn again.

"Stars and Stripes Forever," I'd forgotten that one. Always seemed like Clifton Webb was an odd choice, with his fussy, brittle screen persona. He was much better as Waldo Lydecker in "Laura" and as Lynn Belvedere.

Anyway, here's one you can club over the center field wall:

"She may be put together with paste and flour, but that woman has something. What would you say it was?"
"Practice. Plenty of practice."

Awoke to a great quote-The High and the Mighty (we are whistling the theme song right now )
Will get back with another quote shortly.

OK-a tougher one this time-

"Get out quick. Work six months or a year, prove whatever you have to prove, then marry the med student or the law student and love happily ever after"

Tough is right. "The Best of Everything," a flick I've never seen and probably never will (had to have a little help figuring it out).

Try this (in keeping with the spirit of the day):

"We're all in prison one way or another."
"Yes, and those who understand it, suffer most of all."

I did not know this one-but jenny is the easter movie fan-The Shoes of the Fisherman. (Although TCM is not showing that one today they have about 8 hours of Easter movies on)
Will come up with one shortly-

"There's no prettier sight in the world than 10,000 head of cattle...unless it's 50,000"
