Re: Name that Film
Having enjoyed the book and movie a gazillion times, I'd have to wonder if there's a line I wouldn't know
Onward...
A: You ever been in a chickie-run?
B: Yeah, that's all I ever do.
[A leaves]
B: [turns to C], what's a chickie-run?

Hint: a chickie-run is 2 cars accelerating toward a cliff. First driver to bail out of the door is a chicken.

Re: Name that Film
I've got the bullets!
And you've got the answer.
Your turn again... Like it or not
Ps we watched Mr. Dean in Rebel in preparation for a trip to Griffith last night for a lecture. Said hello to his bronze monument out front, below that view of the Hollywood sign.

Re: Name that Film
Huh. I guess I should check back after I make a guess. Couldn't remember your quote at all, but it was the only movie I could think of where they were playing 'chicken' off the top of a cliff. (I love the observatory on Griffith!)CamiCrew wrote:I've got the bullets!

How about:
Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it. Sometimes I think there's a man who sits behind a counter and says, "All right, you can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance." "Madam, you may vote but at a price. You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat." "Mister, you may conquer the air but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline."

Re: Name that Film
1960 film with Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Dick York, and Gene Kelly.
Probably not the best of quotes, but one of my favourites...

Has to be Inherit The Wind. Great film based on the Stopes monkey trial. I don't remember the dialogue you quoted, but it sounds like something Spencer Tracy would have said in the courtroom.

Bewitched. Later replaced by Dick Sargent. (Though they both look the same to me.) Also starred Agnes Moorehead, one of the greats from the early days of radio.plummy wrote:Dick York - wasn't he the guy in I Dream of Genie (or was it Bewitched?)...?

Too generic? Here's another line (uttered by the individual referred to in the previous quote).Paul Victory wrote:She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.

I usually hesitate to respond to this topic, since I have not seen a new film in years. Sometimes I forget that until after I have responded.CamiCrew wrote:Well there you are, world traveler! (Peter S.) Wondered when you would pop in.
And, despite what Tako says, I feel I let the American bbq team down at Madchester.
Anyway, apropos of those comments,
"I never explain anything."

Re: Name that Film
I am still not going to explain anything, but hopefully everyone realized that last sentence was the next quote.
It is from a 1964 multi-Oscar winning film.

Well, if he got closer, I'm sure he'd be much larger.
