Scott_of_melnsct Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 My favorite movie quote is: "Frankly my dear, I could give a damn" The actor was Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and he said it to Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. Now without using Google or a similar search engine; What is the movie? I thought it was "don't" not "could", but the movie is Gone With the Wind.

Scott_of_melnsct Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 The workers of Fredonia are demanding shorter hours. Very well. We'll give them shorter hours. We'll start by making their lunch hour 40 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_of_melnsct Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'll bet you'ld think that if I dropped this cannon ball and this feather at the same time, that the cannon ball would land first....................and you'ld be absolutely right.

johnnmitchell Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I thought it was "don't" not "could", but the movie is Gone With the Wind. I do believe you are correct with the don't versus could. The movie name is correct and first played years before I was born. Seems to me it took place in Charleston where I once lived for a few months.

pwmeek Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 And here I was racking my brain for some movie (maybe a spoof?) where the same two actors played the same two characters but delivered the line with a subtly wrong change. I guess that's what you get when you tend to over-think things. I have actually watched this movie and even read the original book within the past year. A surprising number of classic movies were released in 1939; can you think of another very famous movie from 1939 and, without naming it, give a quote from it that establishes that you have the right movie. (BTW, it only came out 4 years before *I* was born. That's not so long ago.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneReed Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 "What we have here is failure to communicate." And one of my favorite quotes from one of my least favorite movies: "These go to eleven" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 "Let them Sing" Hunt for Red October. Of Course to say this properly you must speak Connerese. "Let them Shing" "Spam in a can" The Right Stuff "Huston We have a problem" Apollo 13 "you're clear kid, let's blow this joint and go home" Star Wars And my favorite quote from a TV shows "smeghead" Red Dwarf "Some say, he knows two fact about ducks....... and both are wrong" Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear when talking about the Stig.

pwmeek Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Casablanca (1942) is not quite so old as GWTW and the movie I am thinking of. 1939 was a blockbuster year for movies. Over 1500 of them are listed on IMdB. The list of first ten that I am looking at has only one movie that I am not familiar with, and that is not usually considered a classic. Out of the first fifty, I have only not-seen 6 or 7. Think: "xxxx, we're not in xxxxxx anymore." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Scott has it. Check out this LIST. You will be astounded at the number of famous movies that came out in this single year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggsh. Shaushagesh. Bishcuitsh. What do you need my Shocial Shecurity Number for?" Top Gear is my favorite television show..................................................... in the world when they added it to Netflix I almost cried. I like this quote from both a movie and a television show: Samuel L. Jackson, A Time To Kill: "Yes they deserve to die! And I hope the burn in Hell!" Dave Chappelle, Chappelle's Show, playing Samuel L. Jackson: "YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
