Monty Python is hilarious and the Holy Grail is their best movie. When I was in college a friend and I got drunk one night and drove a local radio station nuts with requests for the song about traffic lights. It took nearly the entire night, but they finally found it and played it.

Now heres one:

"That music was pretty white."
"So am I, what can I tell you?"

"Where there is clarity, there is no choice. And where there is choice, there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing?"

"We told you a hundred times, good officer, sir. We last saw him inside the john... er... comfort room."

"Quick! Suck it before the venom reaches my heart."

"Let me tell you one thing son. Nooobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor."

Think good thoughts,

#1 sounds like Dirty Harry. Or definitely one of the Dirty Harrys anyway. Smile To be said with a sneer and a quiet, raspy voice, hehe! Classic, but a bit too easy. Smile

#2 I KNOW! I just can't place it, hehe. Sorry, give me hint will ya? Actor who said it would probably help a lot. Smile

#4 was Humphrey Bogart, though I'll be damned if I remember the right movie he said it in. Gah! Smile

#5 is The Princess Bride. A very silly movie. Smile

The others I don't know.

You know this one I'm sure, but the quote's cool and funny: "...And get an interior decorator, because...damn!"

Yup, #1 is Dirty Harry, I agree. Good old Clint Eastwood...

I can't quite place #2 either...maybe with a deep New York/Brooklyn accent...perhaps Stallone in something bloody?

#3 Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure again, smith?

#4 is Bogey for sure...said to Bacall, I think. "Play it again, Sam..." Movie name, anyone?

#5 Princess Bride is actually kind of fun, and not all THAT silly...I loved Billy Crystal as the Yiddish magician...

#6 is a movie I went to see once or twice per month when I lived in New York City, and had all the accessories and responses memorized. That line was sung by "A sweet ransvestite from transexual Transylvania." Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry was cute and hot back than, not like he was in middle age in "McHale's Navy"...

#7 is MAYBE "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", but I'm not sure...

Can't quite place yours, Lenny...sounds like it might be Eddie Murphy in something copp-ish?

How about a couple more...

What movie was a character called Ensign Pulver in? The star was Henry Fonda, playing the character the movie was named for..."sailing from tedium to apathy and back again..."

And what giant of the American western/cowboys and Indians genre used this line in many of his movies...said with a sneer and a squint in his eye, "That'll be the day!"

Have at it dudes!

But you forgot to ask the next questions...

OK, folks, what's your favorite John Wayne movie?

I think maybe "The Alamo". Except they all died. Maybe "Red River". Or perhaps "She Tied a Yellow Ribbon". Hmmm...so many movies, so little time...

David, your answers are 'Mister Roberts' and John Wayne. My favorite John Wayne movie is The Searchers. He does what's right, totally against his own personal belief. But then, that that's John wayne Smile

You guys got all the right answers except #2. That was Robert DeNiro in Taxidriver. "You talkin to ME?"
Ya! The Blues Brothers ~ John Belushi and Rocky Horror ~ way cool

I'll only answer the first 2, since I don't want to be a hog...

1) Perhaps DiCaprio's last "cute" movie..."Titanic"...

2) American Pie...(ewwwwww)

Who'll take on some of these others?

And, since I got one or two of these, I get to ask another one myself...

Who was the Earl of Dorrencourt as a young boy? You guess the name and you have the title of the movie as well...waaaay old, with Mickey Rooney as a teenager in a supporting role.

> @ "Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here!"

This one's Melvin Udall speaking in As Good As It Gets. A really funny movie! A bit sentimental though, best watched when holding the hand of the one you love... Greg Kinnear's awesome in it too as Jack Nicholson's gay neighbour. Or I think it's Greg Kinnear anyway, I don't really remember. But he's great anyway whomever it is. Smile

I'd say that's from Austin Powers II: The Spy who Shagged Me...

And is "I can't get the antlers glued to this little mouse. Did you try staples?" from the movie where the guys try to get the mouse killed/out of the house? Can't remember the name of of the movie, though Sad

Anyway, here's one that should be quite easy:... On second thought, lets make this a bit harder... maybe:

#1: please remove all metallic items you may be carrying...keys, loose change...holy shit!!!

#2:Dodge this.

#3:It means buckle your seat-belt Dorothy,cause Kansas is going bye-bye.

Ok, they're from the same movie, so this should be easy enough... Have fun Smile
