Some nice alliteration in there.

Anyhow, in the spirit if quizzes with another trust one coming up and all I thought I'd do my own forum version. Points will be given on how hard I thought the quote was and how interesting your answer is. Be interesting.

I'm sure some of these are googleable but don't. It sort of defeats the fun - and I made an effort to go through all these films to find some descent quotes. Being interesting by looking up trivia on IMDB won't cut it either.
Some of the quotes may not be 100% accurate but I did it by ear, I checked lots of them so shouldn't be too much of a problem. Claiming it was said in another film won't cut it either. You have to get the answer I'm thinking of.

Enough of this crap. on with the quiz. The winner might get a pint from me pre or post the next game I make. Depends on how much money I've got.

Fuck I'm being a bit serious, I did take a fair bit of time coming up with this though. Let's begin. There are 21 quotes. Name the film. Post answers to each quote separately. First to get a question right gets points.

15) About a Boy

So is that 9 left to get. I edited the post to show who got them right.

2 of the remaining are cheating a bit because they are from the subtitles of a foreign a film. Shouldn't be too hard (although I've got a feeling one of them may have been dubbed)

Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are all easy. Shame on you for not getting them yet.

Eh?? Have I missed something?

Anyhoo. reading back. number 8 is far to vague and so maybe is 21. So err. good luck with those.

is 10 ) Big Fish ?

'Fraid not.

6) Withnail & I

4)  Love Story  :oops:

even worse cos you're wrong.

8) Barbarella?

That would make you slightly obsessed with the female orgasm ben, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Or you got your inspiration from Buzzcocks last night

10 - Peter Pan / Captain Hook ?

Nah I didn't see Buzzcocks last night. crazy coincedentals is it. You are correct though.

I thought that one was tough.

and... It's Peter Pan swindon chick, although it might be said in Hook as well.

This is fun isn't it. although I've got a strange suspicion that I'm having more fun than anyone else. Oh well.

5) The Wicker Man.

only 5 left. I underlined them.

14) Oldboy

played ultra. only 4 left. Surprised that nobody had number 4 yet.

Number 4 is the last king of scotland i think

I think it is Dean. You beat me to it.

And is number 11 final fantasy or final destination :?

no its not

11)Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Fuck knows then..debbie does dallas

I'll sort it out when I get back cos I'm going to the pub. number 4 is wrong, number 11 is Final Fantasy thingy.

4 Is from a Bond film, but i can't for the life of me remember what it is... (and isn't it meant to be "we'll be going on soon"?)

4)On her majestys secrect service

aye well done
 On her majesty's secret service. After his wife dies.

so just 2 left. 12 and 21 is it?

Any ideas people.

12 is a clockwork orange i think?

yep

1 left

21)
.....and I take the respect.... to some people that's more important.

give us a clue!

ok ok.

It has cars in.

think I might have made it too easy now

ahhhh, it's "cars" isn't it?

nope

 Is it Herbie Rides Again ?

Here's another quote

Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning.

"days of thunder"!!!!!!

the cruiser's finest hour (and a half)

actually It was The Fast and the Furious.  Never seen Days of Thunder

I'll have to add up who won now.

Foggy 5
SwindonUltra 3
Simon Pieman 2
Sharky 2

Batch 1
Spacey 1
