Topic awaiting preservation: Guess the movie from the quote

The title says it all. The guidelines are that no names of quoters should be used and if the quote is a small one, add another quote or two from the same character in the movie. If it's dialogue, find a way to clearly indicate it. Also, if people are stumped, you might try throwing a piece of trivia from the movie into the fray. The winner gets to submit the quote of their choice.

I'll start with :

"I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it ? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?"

This movie also had a different American title, for no apparent reason.

Leon

"Non!"

Exact

Your turn RN3.

I'm gonna jump in here because I was really looking forward to this thread taking off. RN3, I hope you don't mind.

quote:

---

I want to be here. In this time. With you. I want to become...become a whole person. I want this to be the present. I want the future to be unknown.

I'm just taking a guess here, but that definitely sounds like it's from Twelve Monkeys (was that the name of the movie?).

The reason is that "The professional" is a severely butchered version of the movie. So, only rent/buy it if it says 'Leon' on it.

(See also Fucking Åmål, which has been renamed to "show me love" for the American public. No scenes were removed there, though.

12 Monkeys!!! Yes. An all time favorite of mine. Your turn Suho.

Ah, cool. Well, this is an easy one, but I just happen to love the movie and I love this line....

I think that's from M*A*S*H

I'll wait for youre reply though Nimraw as i'm not 100% certain about this.

I was also guessing MASH, but it's been so long since I've seen it.....I just can't remember. Perhaps I should go put it on....been wanting to watch it anyway

Sorry for the late reply.

Nolp, DL; You are spot on!

It's from the movie MASH when Hotlips throws a fit and screams at Col. Henry Blake.
(all because Hawkeye and Trapper drops the tent cloth to the womens shower and exposes her)

What can I say. I'm a MASH-fan

I love MASH. The movie and the TV show. The Hallmark chanel started showing all the episodes from the very beginning each night here, 4 episodes in a row. I watch it almost everynight lately. =)

Been years since I saw the movie though....

Well, i got that first so i guess it's my go

"Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention."

[This message has been edited by Nolp (edited 11-10-2003).]

I'll let someone else grab this, but isn't that from a book, not a movie?

There is a book and a movie i do believe...

Wanna try a guess?

Nolp

Sounds like Starship Troopers to me.

My turn:
"I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

Starship Troopers and the book was infinately better than that trash of a movie.

Edit: Darn you. Guess I'll save that one.

No, not Enter the Dragon.
Although, I have been thinking about using a quote from that movie:

A woman like that can teach a man a lot about himeself.

I know it's backwards, but I'll give it you, CFB. Go ahead and post the next quote.

FYI, the movie that I quoted twice is Berry Gordy's the Last Dragon. Excellant flick. If you like kung fu flicks, it is a must see.

DOH! i just watched that about two weeks ago on tv wj, i knew i recognized the quote but i couldn't think of what from. i dunno if i'd call it one of the greatest kung fu flicks, but its fun
