Ginny, you are being too broad with your quotes. Lets try to narrow them down a little. That is not a particularly significant or memorable quote therefore it is almost impossible to know which movie it came from. This particular quote is so incredibly broad it could be from more than one movie.

I understand this, I just posted this quote because I knew that it was harder than the original. I really do think that you should think harder and wait longer before telling me to post another, I did give you a clue, if you were paying attention (a clue to the first quote.) I said that it was a scary movie that was on television on Halloween. Think about it for a little longer, okay? (And don't tell me that it's not okay, okay?)

Soad is right Ginny, your quotes ARE too broad, and they cause the thread to go stagnant for days at a time. I'm not "telling you it's not okay." I'm just telling you that it is boring as all hell for the rest of us.

I'm getting a little tired of everybody just Googling the quotes and going forward. You should be getting the quotes from what you know about movies, not through the Internet. I knew Ginny's first quote, and since it seems a very honest statement about life, ("Only one way to argue with a woman, Doc. Don't"), I thought it was a memorable quote. Just because some idiot hasn't quoted it on the Net has nothing to do with this thread. Shoot me for not posting the answer, but yes, I found the responses about not "knowing" it pretty funny.

There have been quotes on here for 12+ days before. If you're bored with a particular quote, try starting an interesting thread about something else. Let others have a chance, or you will be doomed in your attempt "...to argue with a woman..."

This new quote, which I haven't deduced yet, seems perhaps "broad" in and of itself, but in the context of the movie, it may be great. Hopefully, we'll find out in the not-too-distant future.

The current quote: "I hadn't planned to, but you're here."

Totally agree wtih mark_f's comments. I figured most people must have been googling for the answer.

Then again, I'm sure that's what's happening on the "connect the actors" board as well.

Not sure what the point of it is to be right via the google. I only answer those that I can figure out on my own...which means of course that I'm not the one who usually gets it right.

Most of the time, I actually know what the movie is, becasue most of the time people pick current or very popular movies. When I don't know and the post has been there for a day or two I go to imbd.com and use their search engine. In this case my movie knowledge and the net have failed me.

Okay, I'll tell you what the line before it is.

"Are you going to kill me?"
"I hadn't planned to, but you're here."

If you prefer, you can answer my first quote: "Only one way to argue with a woman, Doc. Don't."


"You see this quarter? It used to be a nickel."

Ginny,

This is just a guess, so I won't give another quote here, but is the answer for your quote....

"Only one way to argue with a woman, Doc. Don't."


...one of the "Back to the Future" films?

"Back to the Future III" was actually my first thought on Halloween (that's a little less than eight full days ago), but I knew it wasn't right.

OK, remember I said that I knew the first quote, so the one about "Only one way to argue with a woman, Doc. Don't." is from The Haunting(1963). If you claim to know jack about scary movies, you should watch "The Haunting"('63) and "The Innocents".

I know for a fact that several people KNOW this one. The new quote: "I'm your wife! I'm the greatest good you're ever going to get!"

That one would have to be The Incredibles.

Hopefully you'll be able to get this one.

The Princess Bride.

"It's down in Central Park taking a leak. If you hurry, you can catch the supper show."

I believe that is "Midnight Cowboy".

Here's actually one of my all-time favorite quotes:

"Hey gorgeous. What do you do when you're not serving up mad cow burgers in here, eh?

"Well now then, let me see. I get up at about 7:30AM making up and delivering sandwiches in the West End during the day before I come here about 6 o'clock and finish at midnight. After that, if I've got any energy left, I give my boyfriend a blowjob."

I remember that. Sliding Doors I can't believe that I didn't get the incredibles quotes, I just saw it a couple weeks ago. I knew it sounded familiar.

"My teacher tells me beauty is on the inside"

"That is just something ugly people say"

That would be Jim Carey talking to his son in 'Liar Liar'

"Pull the string! Pull the String!" (two choices, you lucky bastards!)
