Re: Name that Film
Squirrel!! - you are correct.
The line is at the start when the workmen are talking to him about moving out of his house. That film has one of the best opening 15 minutes ever made.

Peter have you not seen Idiocracy? The only comedy to turn into a documentary?
Other than an overdose of bad language, brilliant film.

Re: Name that Film
Hmmmm. Ok lets see... recent movie that had me tearing up on a flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Makes for awkward moments when the flight attendant asks if you want a snack and you're busy bawling

Re: Name that Film
Timing wise a good guess but no, this is a documentary. Feature to be out on the same referenced individual, but later this year.

Re: Name that Film
This film is called "Won't You Be My Neighbor" about Fred Rogers aka Mister Rogers. Interesting backstory to my childhood memories. Tom Hanks plays him in an upcoming feature film.
Anyone else can put up a line, I've had the mic long enough...

Re: Name that Film
Thread resurrection. Caught a bit of this the other night. Stars more than a couple of Hollywood big hitters:
A) What the hell is happening?
B) I blew up the building.
A) Why?
B) Because you made a phone call.

Re: Name that Film
More from the same film:
a): I'm sick of this, you either shoot me, or tell me what the hell is going on!
b): You have something they want!
a): I don't have anything!
b): Maybe you do, but you don't know it! Stay off the phone. Stay away from me and Rachel, you come near any one of us, I'm gonna kill you.

Re: Name that Film
Ok - let's kill this one. It was Enemy of the State with Will Smith and Gene Hackman talking. Anyone want to throw a new one up?

Re: Name that Film
A few recent posts on the Forum made me think of this classic film. Just like Mary Poppins, I never explain myself!
I might respond to a PM. Maybe.

The line rings a bell, but I can't quite place it. I'm thinking that it's a Western?

Re: Name that Film
Unlimited.
2 wrong, so far.

Shouldn't be that hard. After all, how many short films from 1933 are there to quote??
Especially, classics.

Re: Name that Film
The Wizard of Oz was 1939 and wasn't all that short. So I'm thinking something with the Marx Brothers or Shirley Temple or maybe Laurel and Hardy or Charlie Chaplin.

Re: Name that Film
I know that's probably wrong, but it's the only film I remember WC Fields being in apart from David Copperfield.
