The only movies I can think of that fit that description are The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmations, but I can't imagine that line coming from either of those movies. I'm pretty sure it's not in the Jungle Book as I've seen that a few times.

Is that a guess Paul or are you telling me what you don't think it is?

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 9:27 pm

Ok. If you want a guess, them I'll go for 101 Dalmations (because I'm pretty sure it's not (The Jungle Book). It kinda sounds like the sort of think someone might say to Cruella da Vil.

Your guess is correct Paul!

I presume it was said to Cruella by one of the two creeps she had doing the dognapping for her. The tall skinny one?

OK, a nice easy one.

I'll go with Silence of the Lambs (was this the famous fava beans and chianti speech?)

Correct on both counts. Over to you...

"Welcome to the Planet"

Superman?

Close!!

I figured it was a reference to the Daily Planet, where Clark Kent and Lois Lane worked. It felt like it should be the right answer.

Or was the Daily Planet in the Spider-Man movies?

If I start getting my DC and Marvel superheroes mixed up, I'll be banned from the local comic book store.

Er is it the new one Plummy-Man of Steel ?

Stan · Post by **Stan** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 7:01 am

is it "independence day" when Will Smith punches the alien?

The answer I was looking for was Man of Steel so well done Strider. Stan's guess was very good and I 100% understand why he went for it but the Independence Day dialogue is as follows:

Captain Steven Hiller: [walking toward crashed alien plane] THAT'S RIGHT! THAT'S RIGHT! That's what you get! Look at you, ship all *banged* up! Who's the man? Huh? Who's the man? Wait till I get another plane! I'm-a line all your friends up right beside you!
Captain Steven Hiller: [climbs on top of alien plane] Where you at, huh? Huh? Where you at?
Captain Steven Hiller: [Hiller opens the spaceship. An alien pops up, and Hiller punches it in the head, knocking it back into the ship]
Captain Steven Hiller: Welcome to earth!
Captain Steven Hiller: [sits on alien plane and puts cigar in mouth] Now that's what *I* call a close encounter.

...and therefore gets my vote as one of the most disappointing and stupid films ever despite huge promise when I saw it advertised

Cheers Dave, I have to agree with you on that

Yes please. I think I know the line, but I just can't place it.

Ten pin bowling

Kingpin?

That was my initial thought, then I thought it didn't sound right for that movie. (Which means that plummy is probably right and I'm talking through my **** as usual.

)

Anyway, for some reason, the movie that comes to mind is The Big Lebowski. And I don't know if it even features ten pin bowling.

You may be right Paul. I've only seen TBL once and it was years and years ago but I'm sure there's a central bowling theme in there

Well done Paul-spot on-I though the rug would give it away but you got there in the end-well done-over to you

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Fri Apr 25, 2014 4:50 pm

OK. How about this one:

"You've been a lovely, lovely witness."

Too obscure? 1990s comedy starring someone whose name has come up previously in this thread.

Ann said "My Cousin Vinny" based on the line, but neither of us posted.

Joe Pesci was recently mentioned in this thread.
