Name Game #8

"...a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."

Update: Another clue:
"Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Update: There have actually been quite a few movie versions made of Hamlet, and these quotes were probably in all of them.

Name Game #7

"Eating greens is a special treat, It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat. I made that last part up myself."

Update: Good guess, Laurel...
"Whatcha gonna call 'im?"
"Well, I think I'll call him Bambi."
"Bambi... Yep, I guess that'll do all right."

Name Game #6

"Our job is improving the quality of life, not just delaying death."

Update: Another clue:
"Death. To die. To expire. To pass on. To perish. To peg out. To push up daisies. To push up posies. To become extinct. Curtains, deceased, Demised, departed And defunct. Dead as a doornail. Dead as a herring. Dead as a mutton. Dead as nits. The last breath. Paying a debt to nature. The big sleep. God's way of saying, "Slow down." "

Update: Here is the rest of this interchange from Patch Adams:
Bill Davis: To check out.
Hunter Patch Adams: To shuffle off this mortal coil.
Bill Davis: To head for the happy hunting ground.
Hunter Patch Adams: To blink for an exceptionally long period of time.
Bill Davis: To find oneself without breath.
Hunter Patch Adams: To be the incredible decaying man.
Bill Davis: Worm buffet.
Hunter Patch Adams: Kick the bucket.
Bill Davis: Buy the farm.
Hunter Patch Adams: Take the cab.
Bill Davis: Cash in your chips.

Name Game #5

"Death is the only adventure you have left!"

Update: Bangerang!!! It's Hook. Here is one of my favorite quotes:

"I remember you being a lot bigger."
"To a ten-year-old I'm huge."

Name Game #4

"I felt like, 'This guy's really hurting me.' And it hurt."

Update: Oh, snap! That was quick for Zoolander.

Name Game #3

"Your ma ain't crazy. She's just broken-hearted"

Update: Some song lyrics:
"I can stand the sight of worms
And look at microscopic germs"

Update: Continuing the lyrics:
"But Technicolor pachyderms
Is really too much for me."

Update: The song is Pink Elephants on Parade, a brilliantly surrealistic animated segment from Dumbo

Name Game #2

"Everything's gonna happen for me, just so long as I never have no in my heart."

Update: Another clue that's totally different from the first one:
"Well, I was born without the top of my skull.."

Update: Expanding the previous quote:
"Well, I was born without the top of my skull and I guess a little bit of my brains was showin' and it was grossin' everybody out so my mom put this wig on me to cover it up and then the bones grew together and it got all infused and entwined. I mean I don't mean to get all scientific with you..."

Update: I know Adam has seen this movie...Let's try another clue:
"Now, you're telling me you were so ingrained with white trash DNA, your facial hair actually grows in on its own all white trashy like that?"

Update: Yes, it is the sometimes inappropriate Joe Dirt, the white trash, mullet-wearing guy with the ever optomistic attitude no matter what happens to him. Also starring the dependably funny Christopher Walken.

Name Game #1

"Sometimes, I guess there's just not enough rocks."

Update: Forrest Gump is very quotable. It was hard to find a slightly more obscure quote.

The Name Game

OK...Here's the new theme. The title of the movie is a character's name. To use examples of movies I have recently used, it could be a first or last name like Rudy, or both first and last name, like Mary Poppins. It won't be a name plus anything else, like The King and I. And it won't be multiple characters, at least not initially. I'll save that for when I exhaust the single character list. It also won't be a descriptive title, like Raging Bull. That's also a theme I will use later.

End of Theme

I've pretty much exhausted the sports movies, although there are a few, like Raging Bull and The Big Lebowski, that are highly rated. I just couldn't find any clean quotes from them.

There are plenty of movie musicals left, as that was a big part of Hollywood's move to sound. I imagine that more will find their way to this site in the future.

Stay tuned Monday for a new theme. Have a good weekend....

Combination

"So what the heck's the use of cryin'?
Why should we curse?
We gotta get better
'cause we can't get worse!"

Update: Another quote:
"One long ball hitter, that's what we need! I'd sell my soul for one long ball hitter. "

Update: Correct. Or as they say in the movie:
"Is Washington winning dear?"
"Noooo. Those Damn Yankees."
