93. The Day the Earth Stood Still

"Sit down please, there are several thousand questions I'd like to ask you." That's what Sam Jaffe said to Michael Rennie when Michael Rennie identified himself as the spaceman everybody was looking for. One of the greatest science fiction movies ever made, in my humble opinion. Not to be confused with that recent remake, which was pathetic.

I mistakenly posted this trivia question on the movie quotes thread

[JoseBalow]

152. I was wondering about that

what movie it could be

166. That was my second guess.

[JoseBalow]

161. "They lose me right after the bunker scene."

[VGNonly]

177. "Piss on you, I work for Mel Brooks"

[JoseBalow]

182. YES!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

167. "Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire."

I post this one every time one of these threads pop up, and no one has ever identified it. And it's not an obscure movie. Just one that goes back several decades. But surely, there are plenty here who have seen this movie.

I'll say this: I did not see that movie when it was in the theaters, but quite a while later on TV. When that line was spoken, my husband and I all but fell off the couch because it was so meaningful about 20 years after that movie came out. It's even more meaningful now.

[dweller]

179. I'm not giving it away

But I know it’s from a movie based on a Larry McMurtry book “Horseman Pass By” but the line is not in the book, afaik



✌🏻

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

185. Correct. It is not in the book.

I was so blown away by that line in the movie that I promptly got hold of the book. The differences between the novel and the movie go far beyond that one line, of course, but that pair are a good example of both being very good for what they are.

Another example of good book and better movie is "Terms of Endearment." The novel is mostly about Aurora, the mom. The movie takes what's perhaps the last quarter of the novel, about Emma, and makes her the main character. Again, I like both a lot.

[dweller]

186. Another great 'Aurora' book

Is The Evening Star’ one of my favorites of the series. It unfortunately bombed as a movie, so I’ve read.
But a great book. It’s the last of the 6 in the Houston series.


✌🏻

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

187. I have not read that one.

I'll have to fit it into my reading list.

[red dog 1]

168. "So what? he got shot in the foot. What is it? A big deal?'

[VGNonly]

169. Has to be Goodfellas.

[red dog 1]

170. It was Goodfellas.

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) uttered that line after he shot a waiter in the foot

For extra credit, what TV series did the waiter later appear on as a regular character?

[VGNonly]

171. Christopher from The Sopranos

Michael Imperioli

You must remember the homage in The Sopranos when Christopher shot the pastry guy in the foot. Extra credit, who was the patron of the donut place? He later was a major character in The Sopranos, just a bit part in that episode.

[red dog 1]

172. I forgot about that scene in the bakery where Christopher shot the guy in the foot

(And I have no idea who the patron was)

[VGNonly]

173. "You shot me in the foot!"

The patron was Vito Spatafore. (Joseph Gannascoli)

[red dog 1]

174. I think I did recognize Vito when I saw this, but I forgot it.

Christopher didn't have to shoot the poor guy in the foot...He apologized, and he was getting the Italian pastries he wanted.

But Christopher did eventually get what he deserved (I think in Season 6)
After Christopher, high on heroin, caused that accident with Tony in the car, Tony held his nose so he couldn't breathe.

[mwb970]

175. "Sometimes you've just got to jump."

[rainy]

178. "Why shouldn't I work for the NSA?"

[VGNonly]

190. Good Will Hunting

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

180. #19 The 40-Year old Virgin

When he went took his gf's daughter to the doctor for birth control. Funny movie. Saw a bootleg copy of it while in Iraq.

[red dog 1]

183. You got it!

It was the father of kid in the therapy group replying to a comment his son just made.
(Andy is in the group with his girlfriend Trish's teenage daughter, Marla)

[dweller]

181. Movie quote ... good luck

“That Alice was right, sure Lester the main character croaks in the end, but at least he’s old and dies a dignified death.
… all the decades of people I’ve known the more I thought, the more I felt like crying… life seems so sweet, and so sad, and so hard to let go of in the end …”
