Oops. We missed J.S.F.'s quote.
Someone needs to get this one. It's driving me crazy, I know I've heard it recently.

I know in Patton, George C. Scott said "Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
I don't know if you might be referring to a different movie where that actual quote was paraphrased.
Mine, one of my favorites:
I can't place "You're not afraid of the dark, are you?"
But I'm a '50s movie buff and know Elwood has the friend named Harvey.
Wow, Myrea, you're tops in this game if you can guess 'em from paraphrases!

I really feel like I should know this one, but it keeps slipping away.
Indeed.
My grandfather fought with Patton and that was his favorite quote from the movie - which he must have seen about 2 dozen times.Wow, Myrea, you're tops in this game if you can guess 'em from paraphrases!

"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" That's Pitch Black, isn't it? I keep hearing Vin Diesel's voice when I read it.
"My old man told me, before he left this censored world, never chase buses or women, you'll always be left behind."

Steve, that quote is from Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. One dumb flick I've always liked although I don't know why.
"I know I have a heart because I feel it breaking."

OMG! I love that movie.
Buckaroo Banzai Beyond the 8th Dimension
When I found it on Netflix I sat my sons (18 and 10) down and MADE them watch it. The older one whined and protested, until about 20 minutes in, then I swear he didn't even move until the end.
Spader at his best in Mannequin. Thanks to Kim Catrell, I have the DVD.
You probably won't even need the hidden clue to get this remake from ’76. The exact words may differ slightly but carry the gist of the original:
“Help! Help! Help me . . . I think I’m bleeding to death.”
“Just plug it up.”

Oh, my gosh . . . the pressure!
It's the comment mumbled
ty: for subtitles) after Father Barry urged Terry to turn "canary" in On the Waterfront.Another line in this oldie but goody black & white includes the misunderstood and therefor hated term by deafies: "deaf 'n' dumb."
My new offering: "I'll give you a prediction: It's gonna be cold; it's gonna be gray; and it's gonna last you the rest of your life."

Yeah, deaf n dumb, meaning we don't hear anything and we don't say anything (rat).
Knew you'd appreciate that chestnut, Chase. Feelin' merciful today.
(translation, too tired to challenge anyone today lest they return the favor)
I hope that's another clue, Chase, and not some hex you're puttin' on me.
Groundhog Day! Hey, how seasonal of you!
Oh, grow up! You never stop moving, you never go anywhere. Grow up, grow up, grow up! Great light comedy with a few very poignant moments. From the 1970s.

I really thought this would be an easy one. And since I fear I'm slowing down the game, I'll all but give the title away with these few more...
Face it, they know we're always trying to nail 'em and they don't like it. They like it and they don't like it, it's got nothing to do with you Lester. It just happened.
What the hell I'm a gonna tell you about what they got against you. Christ, they're women aren't they? You ever listen to women talk, man? Do you? 'Cause I do, till it's running outta my ears! I mean I'm on my feet all day long listening to women talk and they only talk about one thing: how some guy fucked 'em over, that's all that's on their minds, that's all I ever hear about! Don't you know that?
George is a terrific hairdresser.
If that doesn't do it, please feel free to skip me- sorry!

Wish I could play, but it's no movie I've seen. Sorry.
