Holiday #2

"We're kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols. "

Update: Another clue...
"Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"
"Naw, I'm doing just fine."

Update: Yes...National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Holiday Post #1

OK. I'm going to start doing quotes from holiday movies. I will include TV movies and specials as well, since they have probably been seen by most of you.

"I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices."

Update: Here is the complete hilarious quote from Home Alone:

"I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices; including in between my toes and in my belly button which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape. "

On a side note: Home Alone 3 was on TV the other night. Not that I really watched it, but I had seen an advertisement that had a 13-year old Scarlett Johansson, so I watched it for that part. Almost as bad as Hillary Swank in The Next Karate Kid.

Turkey-Related - Sort of

"Your order sir?"
"I'll have one of those."
"One Istanbul Express."
"Yes. A double."
"A double? Nobody orders the double, sir!"
"Okay. Make it a triple."

Update: It's a pretty obscure movie, so here is another clue:
"..you're a great comic book writer - but you're a lousy bird. "

Update:
"Who can save Princess Juliet - held captive by the evil Count Lorca? Who can save the city? Who? "

Update: Yes, it is Condorman. I remembered that Istanbul, Turkey played a part in it, and it was the only 'turkey' quote I could think of off-hand. A bit of trivia: the lead was played by Michael Crawford, who went on to originate the role of the phantom in Phantom of the Opera in London.

Baby Week Finale

"Put me back in! Put me back in!"

Update: It was only appropriate that Jason got the last baby week quote from "Look Who's Talking". Another good one:

"Help! Help! Somebody burp me before I blow up!"

Baby Week #4

I know I've used this movie before, but it's a great baby quote:

"I'm the father of two children, and you never, ever give a baby blackroot."

Update: I was out of town this weekend, and wasn't able to update this. Yes, it is Willow.

Baby Week #3

"Cute baby! Boy or girl?"
"Gosh, I hope so!"

Update: Correct. Here are a couple more great baby quotes from Undercover Blues:
"You brought our baby into a knife fight?"
"It was a fair fight. Two of them, two of us..."

Sawyer: "Isn't the baby a little young for dolls?"
Jane: "It's for me. It's a post-feminist doll."
Jeff: "Goes to work with little sneakers on but resents it."

Baby Week #2

I think this will be an easy one:

"I'm, 4-foot 6, I don't shave, I don't have a job, and I'm gonna be an uncle. Is there something weird about that? "

Update: Yes Kieran Culkin spoke this line in Father of the Bride Part 2

Baby Week

In honor of my grandson, we bring you quotes about babies.

"How can something so small create so much of something so disgusting?"

Update: Laurel is pretty close. Here's another clue:

"This baby hasn't stopped crying! And she did a doodle."
"A doodle? What's that...? Oh, forget it. I don't want to know."
"Well you're gonna know, Pal, 'cause she did it."

Update: Very good Joanne. It is 3 Men and a Baby

Post for Today

"We are number one. All others are number two, or lower."

Update: Another clue:

"There's another chicken. Crazy chicken world."

Update: Way to go Janaki! It's Mystery Men. I wasn't familiar with the chicken quote, but I thought it was hilarious. The first one was by the character The Sphinx. Here are some more of his gems:
"To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn."
"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions.
"You must be like wolf pack, not six pack."
"You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums."
"When you care what is outside, what is inside cares for you."
"When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack. "

Body Parts

"My heart. My lips. My legs. My calves. "

Update: The Court Jester

King Roderick I: What are you loo-loo-looing about?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, I'm not loo-loo-looing, Sire, I'm willow-willow-wailing.
King Roderick I: All right, all right. Willow away, willow away.

Weekend Post

"I have no response to that."

Update: "You mean you were diagnosed with something called a brain cloud and didn't ask for a second opinion?" - Joe Versus the Volcano

This seems to be a movie that people either love or hate. I happen to love it.

Another 80s Leftover

"Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck."
"How?"
"I don't know, I'm making this up as I go."

Update: Way to 'whip' out "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Leftover from 80s Week

This is a more obscure movie, so I will try to pick an easier quote from it.

"I don't believe this. I got the scroll weapon, and I almost beat Mecha-Turtle at the end of level three! "

Update: I was flipping through channels last night and "The Wizard" was on, which is why I chose this one. It cracks me up that the big competition at the end is on a never before played game, Super Mario Bros 3, but everyone in the audience is screaming tips, which they couldn't possibly know if no one has ever played it.
