And one that hasn't been out yet - the Simpsons movie (DUH!)


I love all the Marx brothers films. I also love Charlie chaplin and Laurel and Hardy films. These are real classics, I have been collecting them for a while now.

Don't forget Buster Keaton also, in silent movies. Recently I saw a "talking picture" on Turner Classical Movies, which had Buster Keaton in it, in colour, so needless to say, he was few years older than the "silent" days.

Charlie Chaplin made a few "talkies" aswell, one of them being "The Great Dictator" aimed at Hitler before WWII

Clouseau: "Who would be stupid enough to make a blind man a lookout?"
C.I Dreyfus: "Who would be stupid enough to make you a policeman?!"


Actually it went something like this:

Dreyfus..."The blind man was the lookout man"

Clouseau " How can a blind man be a lookout man"?

Dreyfus..." How can an idiot be a policeman" ?

Clouseau.." Well, all he has to do is apply and"...before he can finish the sentence,

Dreyfus... "Get out ,get out of here"...


Sorry to "butt in" reportfromcyprus...I couldn't resist.!!


Yes, Kiks, that's much closer, but then, that's why you're the producer!

:)


You're much too kind. But don't forget, I'm also "Director Numero Uno".

You know, I had this idea a while back, which was to write a few memorable lines from any Movie, and ask the members to try and figure out, from which Movie it came from. A little bit like "Trivial Pursuit" only in Movies. But then I got pissed off, with the cancellation of the "Wizard of Oz" production by the Cyprus Forum, and I said " Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" anymore.!!

Gone with the wind. Way too easy :lol:


This is one that I have been using for a long time that NO ONE has been able to get.


"Badges! We don't need no stinking badges".

It was used in the film Blazing saddles as a reference joke to the original but that is not the answer.

Here is a clue even if it is not a very good one. It is said with a Mexican accent.

Of course this sort of quiz is a waist of time on the net because I just googled it and got the answer. :roll:

everything about 'something about mary' is great.
how about the dog in a plaster cast on the roof of the car or the 'surprise' view through the binoculars :D :D :D

on a cowboy theme, 'the three amigo's' is worth a look.
